Trivia: In the beginning of the film when Harrison Ford is teaching his class, he says, “…If it’s truth you’re interested in, Dr. Tyree’s philosophy class is right down the hall.” This is a reference to Ford’s own professor (Ford was in fact a Philosophy major), Dr. William E. Tyree, at Ripon College, Ripon, WI.

Goofs: Incorrectly regarded as goofs: The tank used in the Nazis’ expedition to the holy grail is a version of a World War 1 British Mark IV model, not a 1930s Panzer unit that would have been commonplace in the German army by then. The tank was provided for the Nazis by the King of the Hatay (who would be much likely to have vintage British Tanks than Brand new German Panzers) rather than brought by the Nazis.
