As the title says, KotCS has been rated 12A in the UK for "Moderate adventure violence and scary scenes".
Yep basically the same descriptor as the MPAA.

Now the BBFC have a more detailed description, which has since been taken down from the site, but someone at the IMDb copied it - beware some spoilers (nothing astronomical in terms of spoilers, but a couple of scenes we in the spoiler forum are aware of are confirmed)!
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)
Action/Adventure
The intrepid explorer and archaeologist is pressed back into action, this time getting entangled in a Soviet plot to uncover the secrets behind the mythical and awesomely powerful ancient Crystal Skulls.
'Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull' is the fourth instalment in the popular series. It shows the archeologist-adventurer, played by Harrison Ford, race against Russians to seek out mystical crystal skulls that hold the secrets to an ancient civilisation. The film was passed '12A' for moderate action violence and scary scenes. The film also contains mild language, some focus on weapons and potentially dangerous imitable behaviour.
There are two scary sequences in particular that were felt to be too prolonged and intense to be acceptable at anything below '12A' levels.
There are several scenes involving action violence as Indy battles with the Russian soldiers, with a number of heavy blows being exchanged - one character is seen with a bloody mouth after being punched. Furthermore, the character of Mutt, a 1950s-style Teddy Boy, carries with him a weapon - a flick-knife - which is focussed upon throughout the film although it is never seen being used to inflict injury.
Mild language in the film includes uses of 'hell', 'son-of-a-*****', *beep* 'bloody' and *beep*

There are two scary sequences in particular that were felt to be too prolonged and intense to be acceptable at anything below '12A' levels.
The first sees a Russian soldier consumed by a swarm of large ants who cover him from head to toe and then drag him underground into their nest. The second sees an army scientist consumed by flames that begin in her eyes sockets and quickly grow to take over her entire body. There are some further scary scenes set in burial chambers, with sight of mummified remains, and a scene of threat in which a character trapped in quicksand is rescued by grasping onto a snake. |

One scene sees Jones escape the effects of a nuclear blast at a test site by hiding in a disused 1950s fridge. The potential for dangerous imitability is limited by another character later warning Jones about the dangers of hiding in such a place. |
