A number of entities fall in succession into a water-filled area walled-in by stone, with at least one of them being a child.

Mad Doctor waxes philosophical regarding the unconventional experiment on the shackled subject.

The character with the "over-the-top eastern European accent" hatches a covert plan to enlist the help of the reluctant title hero to decipher the writings of a lunatic mind.

There is a set of very large doors in each film that includes some sort of double entendre, whether visual or verbal.

A significant turning point in the plot requires one man to get another man to recollect something from Berlin.

This thread is outstanding.

Anyone know how much Brooks and Wilder were paid for their contributions to Crystal Skull?

Doctor and Character with the "over-the-top" Eastern European accent disagree over the nature of the Creature...

Got to say this one:

Definitely inspired:

...if not a total ripoff!

Still unconvinced Skull is better than Crusade?
for these purposes that is

More in the sense of remembering than re-collecting - just like in Berlin. (The song's fun too.)

Earlier doors, fellas...some claim there was a psychic misread intended on the Area 51 doors. Nothing quite so "Woof!"-inducing.

Anyhow...

The star of each film made his silver screen debut in a mid 1960s crime film.

A transference occurs between the protagonist and the creature, altering the title character, ultimately making the creature "whole" again.

The title character and his fiancée (at the time) don't see eye to eye with regards to their pre-wedding relationship...

The doctor desires the creature, finally whole, to carry out his/her request, and in doing so the creature assails the doctor.

The Doctor/Professor's fiance ends up marrying someone else, a character she wouldn't have met if not for the title hero.

... and, next decade, costarred in The Frisco Kid with the other. Curiouser and curioser...
