Spielberg made the film for two reasons:
1. To fulfill a three-picture obligation he had with George Lucas
2. to compensade for the criticism that he received for Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984). Source / More (Book)
Indiana Jones was named for George Lucas’ malamute dog Indiana. So Sallah’s laughing you were named after a dog? is based on facts. Source / More (Book)
The temple at the end of the movie exists, but not in Alexandretta. It is in Petra, in Jordan. While filming, the Jordanian Royal Family visited the set.
Spielberg had always wanted to do a Bond film. The hiring of Sean Connery was a joke to James Bond being the father of Indiana Jones. Source / More (Book)

Bio
Harrison Ford
Remarkable:
Harrison about Blade runner: “Blade runner was not my favorite film. I tangled with Ridley.”.
Born:
July 13, 1942
Arguably one of the most bankable movie star ever, Harrison Ford came into his success relatively late in life. Ford was working as a carpenter when in 1973 he got the chance to audition for American Graffiti. Ford played a secondary role but the most important aspect of that film, however, was that it marked Ford’s first collaboration with director George Lucas.
Four years later he became a co-star in Star wars and a superstar in Raiders of the lost ark.
Harrison was nominated for an Academy award for his portrait of a city cop in Amish county in Witness.
Over the next ten years, his films ran the gamut from legal thrillers (1990’s Presumed Innocent) to classic romantic comedies (Sabrina in 1995) to action-adventure blockbusters, Patriot Games (1992), Clear and Present Danger (1994) and The Fugitive (1993).
Most recently, he starred with Michelle Pfeiffer in the thriller What Lies Beneath (2000).
A fourth Indiana Jones installment
is in the works and slated for 2008 and Crossing Over (2007) tells the story of about immigrants of different nationalities struggling to achieve legal status in Los Angeles.
