Indy III

❌

Indy III was the name used for the third theatrical Indiana Jones picture during the development of what eventually became Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.

Although George Lucas had already given the film its final title when he came to write a summary in March 1987, a "third story treatment" following Menno Meyjes's drafts, it was decided that Indy III would continue to be used to help maintain secrecy.

Some elements were carried over from the abandoned Indiana Jones and the Monkey King storyline, which also for a time went by Indy III during its development
