There are two jokes underlying the film’s premise, but they’re both good: First, that Indy has to drag his dad along for the adventure, and second, that his dad is James Bond.
Sean Connery has great fun sending up his own man-of-action reputation and playing second banana for once, but the film still belongs to Ford, who goes gamely through each action set-piece with an incredulous “I can’t believe this is happening to me AGAIN” expression that maybe only John McClane could fully appreciate.
