I think KOTCS had the most brutal fist fight of the Indys. The previous fistfights with Pat Roach were always kind of funny and played for laughs. Like when Bond fought Oddjob in Goldfinger. The humor was in Indy fighting a much bigger and stronger opponent who was seemingly impervious to any punch Indy threw. Indy could punch as hard as he could whoever Pat was playing and it wouldn't phase him. Pat Roach also had a much more jovial personality even when he was slavedriving children! Dovenchko is less lovable, although I did like it when he got fed up with the family squabble in the truck and yelled "Ah just shut the hell up!" In KOTCS the fight in the beginning near the rocket sled was kind of funny with the swinging chains and when they were both accidentally launched. Whether it was intentional or not though the fight in the jungle seemed more serious. Maybe it's because it's not as funny seeing someone younger beat up an older guy. Also Indy's reaction to Dovchenko being killed seemed much colder. Also people complain about most of the giant ants being CG and not real but what struck me was where the previous were mostly there to gross and creep out the audience. The snakes, bugs, and rats in the other movies never killed anybody. So both these kind of required Indy scenes are darker and combined in this movie. That's not a criticism just an observation.
