Correction: The order in which the franchise should be viewed is:
Raiders. Watch Raiders again. Watch Raiders again.
Movie dialogue that should be retired.

It has always bugged me when the reckless detective is getting chewed out over the phone by his boss who then angrily hangs up, and he still sheepishly says "Yes sir" to the dial tone.

lol. this is usually accompanied by a powerful score fit for an over-produced Hollywood flick. I roll my eyes every time and groan.

Oddly enough this does sometimes happen in real life - at the screenings of over-produced Hollywood flicks...

My God, I didn't realize it was this bad. Yes, retire it!
EDIT: This is the famous one I was thinking of originally...

Fortunately, the worst and most offensive groan-inducing cliche' is that of the 'two bumbling idiots' device from the 80's decade.
The protagonist, who is running from the 'two bumbling idiot' henchmen sent by the main bad guy, is navigating a very and I mean VERY crowded street...like filled with a Chinese Parade crowded...the 'bumbling idiots' temporarily lose sight of him/her....but instead of continuing to run, they stop, look around then when one spot the protagonist who is getting away, they invariably whack the other guy on the arm, point, then run. But of course, not without rudely pushing and/or tossing some innocent bystanders out of the way.
This cliche' will still occasionally show up but its rare. It's the sign of a true cinematic turkey.

While we're at it, what about the end of the movie cheering?
You know, a bunch of people in some sort of bunker like command center, holding onto their seats as the hero tries to accomplish his goal. When he/she finally does, the entire command/crew/crowd break out into over-the-top cheering.
