9. The Monkey Raiders' little capuchin – of the "black-capped" genus, for monkey nerds – is probably only second to Toht as the movie's most dastardly villain. He inveigles his way into the affections of Indy and Marion, only to betray them with the help of his eye-patched keeper. He even salutes the Nazis, for crying out loud (in one of Spielberg's favourite scenes). But he would come to a sticky end, thanks to chowing down on a plateful of "bad dates" in one of the only movie depictions of animal death that doesn't moisten the eyes of its audience. Pointless trivia: His monkey squeaks were provided by Frank Welker, who is also the "voice" of Abu in Disney's Aladdin.

Odd dates too. A 40yo would have barely been 10 when Raiders came out so for it to be as successful as it was (top 20 inflation adjusted box office of all time) it clearly had a much wider appeal than a bunch of 10yos.    Also - slightly sexist. Not all Empire reviewers are male. More

	Glad to see this article focuses mainly on the original trilogy and not on that bag of sh*te Skull. And what was that bit about Spielberg 'using practical effects and stuntmen wherever possible' on the 4th film?? Ants? Jeep swordfight? Waterfall? Aliens? Spaceships? Magnetic gunpowder? Fridges? Pyramids? MONKEYS!!!!!!! Christ it's difficult to think of a scene where Lucas.....sorry Spielberg DIDN'T use any CGI. Hang on....was Ray Winstone real or was he this film's Jar Jar Binks?....cos he was equally as annoying! More

	I'm biased obviously but surely he deserves an entry here? And Pat Roach deserved his own entry! More

10	Pat Roach
	The late great Pat Roach kicking Indys arse in three different characters is the reason alone to love Indy trilogy. And the reason why Kindom of the Crystal Scum sucked so badly. No Pat equals no good Indy movie. More
