Indiana Jonesis one of the most iconic characters in the history of picture show . Not every motion picture character is recognizable from their silhouette alone , but as soon as hearing see the Stetson on his head and the bullwhip at his side , they know Indy has move into a scene . Dr. Jones is traditionally a lonely wolf , like James Bond , but much like 007 , he seldom go alone .
From love interests like Marion Ravenwood and Willie Scott to wisecracking buddy like Short Round and his own father , Henry Jones , Sr . , Indy has gone on adventures with all kinds of change of location companions . Some are lovable and endear , like Sallah , while others are just nettlesome , like his estranged Logos Mutt Williams .
Mutt Williams
Two tenner after team up up with his alienated sire inLast Crusade , Indy was old enough to team up up with his own estranged offspring , Mutt Williams , inKingdom of the Crystal Skull . It does n’t help Mutt ’s lawsuit thatCrystal Skullis the weakest debut in the franchise by far .
Indy teaming up with his long - lost boy was an interesting premise for a fourth movie , but Mutt has next to nothing in rough-cut with his dad ; he ’s just a unimaginative ‘ 50s greaser . Shia LaBeouf does n’t deal nearly as much chemistry with Ford as some of his other co - stars like Karen Allen and Sean Connery .
Willie Scott
The romantic pursuit inTemple of Doom , Willie Scott , is the polar opposite ofIndy ’s previous love interest , Marion . Whereas Marion is an action at law hero sandwich in her own right , getting in on all the action and saving Indy as often as he saves her , Willie is more of a damoiselle in distress who constantly require to be rescue .
Willie spends most of the motion picture screaming at large animal and black - legerdemain rituals . The 11 - year - old is brave than her . To be fair to Willie , she does n’t come from the unsafe world that Indy inhabits ; she ’s a nightspot singer who gets swept up in one of his risky venture .
Marcus Brody
Marcus Brody is one of Indy ’s closest friends and intimate , but he ’s only able to provide help and support in an academic setting . There ’s a running gag in the dealership that Brody is hilariously useless outside of a museum .
There ’s a hysterical juxtaposition inThe Last Crusadewhen Indy assures the Nazis that Brody is a multilingual victor of disguise who ’s probably made it halfway across the globe and disappeared without a shadow by now . sheer to Brody cheat around a bazar , asking strangers if they verbalize English .
Sallah
Like Brody , Sallah is an quondam friend of Indy ’s and one of his most trusted ally . Unlike Brody , he ’s competent in dangerous situations . He discourage Indy about “ uncollectible date ” and helps Marion escape from the Nazis ( although he inadvertently lead her into another one of their traps ) .
Ford shares brilliant on - screen chemistry with John Rhys - Davies , whether they ’re hollow the Well of Souls in the middle of the desert or chasing down a cooler to unloose Brody and Indy ’s begetter .
Marion Ravenwood
Marion Ravenwood proved to be such a devotee - favored ikon inRaiders of the Lost Arkthat , unlike any other distaff lead from anIndiana Jonesmovie , the eccentric was take back for a subsequent adventure . regrettably , that subsequent escapade was critically trash , but Karen Allen ’s carrying out was one ofthe few highlight ofKingdom of the Crystal Skull .
Ever since her debut inRaiders , Marion has been out of the question to top . She ’s the ultimate Indiana Jones lie with interest . Marion is just as plucky and brave as Indy himself , and also lands plenty of her own quippy one - liners .
Short Round
Short Round is an 11 - twelvemonth - one-time taxi driver who gets swept up in the same escapade as Willie and proves to be a good deal more brave than her . Even at such a young geezerhood , Ke Huy Quan shared great chemistry with Ford . Indy does n’t have a ton of forbearance for Shorty , but he ultimately cares about him deep . Making Indy a father bod brought out a soft side in the part .
Shorty has plenty of memorable quotes in the movie , like “ That ’s no cookie ! ” and “ Hang on , lady , we ’re go for a drive ! ” There ’s also a heartwarming scene when Indy is under the cultus ’s brainwashing and Shorty is trying to snap him out of it . He tells Indy he loves him and he ’s his best supporter . For the most part , Short Round is used for funny fill-in , but Indy fans tend to snap up at this moment .
Henry Jones, Sr.
Indy ’s third adventure , The Last campaign , couple him up with his alienated father , Henry Jones , Sr . ,played brilliantly by Sean Connery . Since Indiana Jones was consider as an American interlingual rendition of James Bond , it was appropriate for Jones ’ dada to be played by the original 007 . On top of that casting gimmick , Connery share an authentic father - boy dynamic with Ford .
They have a hysterical back - and - forth throughout the pic , peculiarly in natural action scenery like the dogfight where their pettifoggery bugger off in the path of Indy ’s dangerous antics . But it ’s not just a buddy actioner ; the two also share some poignant dramatic moments , like Indy keep his dad ’s life sentence with the Holy Grail and his dad after breathe in him to give up the Grail .
