All four Indiana Jones films incorporated the Majestic Paramount Mountain Logo into the film with unique Match Dissolves: It morphs into a Peruvian Jungle Mountain in Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981), the mountain dissolves into a huge Gong after a Giant Mook Ceremoniously Bangs it in a Ritualistic Manner with his Mallet in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984) then out comes out a Lady in Red sparkling sequined dress, launching into a Mandarin "Anything Goes", a similarly-shaped Southwestern USA Rocky Peak appears in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989), and a Gopher Hill crushed by a buggy roadster in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008). What's come to be known as 'the Mountain of Dreams' began in 1914 as a Boardroom Doodle from the pen of W. W. Hodkinson, founder of Paramount Pictures. He claimed the Mountain stemmed from memories of his childhood in Utah. Many cite Utah's Ben Lomond as Hodkinson's inspiration.
