A snake is used as a rope and a monkey is thrown off of a character and nearly off of a cliff (it grabs onto a branch before falling off). Carnivorous ants are killed.

There is one moment where one of the characters is sinking in a dry sand pit and they use a snake to pull him out. The character who's sinking is afraid of snakes so it's mostly used humorously.

The titular artifact is a decapitated alien skull that must be reunited with its skeleton to resurrect the alien. A statue of Marcus Brody (played by Denholm Elliot, who died in real-life before the events of the film) is decapitated.

Skeletons are seen stabbed on spikes and an alien cocoon is stabbed and sliced open (unclear if the alien itself was stabbed or sliced but it’s also dead by this point).

Not of the conventional sort and you'd have to have seen The Last Crusade to know the context but Indy has to use his birthname (as opposed to Indiana, his preferred name) when trying to get an old colleague (one whose brain is being altered by the Crystal Skull in a way akin to dementia, not the best analogy they could've used IMO) to remember him. This character proceeds to call him his birthname throughout the film.

Yes and it’s a small village hospital run by nuns, it is clear that the patients have poor treatment and they are used as scare tactics in the scene to set it up as “this is where bad cr*zy people go”

The films don’t confirm or imply that Denholm Elliot’s character is LGBTQIA+ but both him and his character died between The Last Crusade and this film. The character is seen in a photograph and confirmed to have died and a statue of him is later decapitated after getting hit by a car.

This movie was clearly inspired by the racist concept that elongated skulls from real ancient cultures were actually not humans, but instead aliens. And contributes to the erasure of the history of those cultures practices.

“Greaser” is a term known to have been used derogatorily against Hispanic Americans in this time period but it’s seemingly targeted at white people in the subculture here. Xenophobia towards Russians and communists.

Mostly a fictional religion that worships alien archaeologists and their Crystal Skulls. There’s a scene where Indy fights off natives guarding a tomb that holds one of the skulls (they presumably follow the religion) and he succeeds in taking it. More people following the faith are later encountered and scared off when a character brandishes the skull. The film ends with a wedding in a church.

The Crystal Skull's effect on Oxley is coded as dementia/Alzheimer's, maybe not the best analogy seeing as it's more or less possession and cured by the end of the film.

I wouldn’t say a lot (particularly not a lot that causes onscreen harm or death) but guns are used, as in every Indiana Jones entry.
