Ok, thanks, though I think comparing two horrid movies for worstness is going to be low on my multi-page to-do-eventually list.
I do remember now that I don't remember much about Temple of Doom except it started with a fist fight with really loud punch sound effects, the whip/sword/gun fight scene reprise you mentioned, the unconvincing female lead, and then a totally silly/unbelievable/sense&physics-defying scene apparently shot on an amusement park "mine ride". I don't remember the glowing potatoes or what the point was, so maybe I am suffering amnesia from bad movie shock.
Of Last Crusade, I remember not enjoying Connery's character, a (sub?)plot about going (back in time?) to try to assassinate Hitler, and a badly-choreographed action scene which made little or no sense with a tank in the desert, another horrible unbelievable/pointless religious magic theme worse than in Raiders, and the absence of anything I remember actually enjoying.
I did actually enjoy Raiders a lot, though... really.
