Continuity mistake: After the duel between Mutt and Irina Spalko, Mutt falls down into the car with Indy and yells, "She's getting away!" as she is seen driving off. However, in the following shot when they are driving near the edge, Irina comes from behind them.
Continuity mistake: When Mutt and the Russian woman are fighting in the normal view, you see the the AK-47, but when it changes to overhead, it disappears.
Continuity mistake: When Indy and Mutt meet in the diner, the spoon on the table changes its position between shots.
Continuity mistake: In the scene where the two cars collide frontally in the warehouse, Mac is shown inside the car and immediately afterwards he is shown standing outside the car, while Indy climbs the ceiling woodwork.
Continuity mistake: When Spalko is talking to Indy at the start, there are four Russian soldiers behind her who have their guns pointed at Indy. When Spalko says, "order of Lenin," and walks a few steps away from Indy, the soldiers raise their guns to let her pass. It then cuts to a shot of Spalko over Indy's shoulder and their guns are pointed at him again. It then cuts back to a profile shot of the pair and the guards once again have their guns raised.
Continuity mistake: After the main characters have been thrown out of the "lost city" by the rapidly rising waters, they are completely soaked (quite natural, as they were submerged in the well). But after everything dies down, all of the characters' hair and clothes are bone dry.
Continuity mistake: In a close-up, Indy removes the mask from one of the mummies and is holding it about a foot away from its face. In a shot from further away, Indy is holding the mask three or four feet away from the mummy's face.
Continuity mistake: In the shot where Mutt is on the front of the car sword fighting Spalko, when the shot changes he switches to the back of the car, still fighting her.
Continuity mistake: The drawing that Ox makes in front of Indy differs between shots: Watch the shape of the sun.
Continuity mistake: The Russians arrive at the Nevada base and salute the guards. The one on the far right is very close to the barrier, next to where the corner of the house is; half a second later he is several meters behind and walking towards the barrier again.
Continuity mistake: In the beginning when the Russians are talking to Indy, his shirt is tucked, then in another shot it's untucked, then it's tucked again. This continues for about 3-5 shots.
Continuity mistake: Right at the start when the Russians pull Mac out of the car, they throw Indy's hat on the ground and there is a close-up shot of it where you can see Mac's feet right next to it. It then cuts to a relatively wide bird's-eye shot over the car as it is surrounded by Russian soldiers and there is nobody near the hat - Mac isn't even in the shot.
Continuity mistake: During the wedding scene, we see Mutt taking photos with a 1950s Kodak Brownie box camera. When wind blows Indy's fedora off the hat rack and up the aisle, Mutt stoops to pick up the hat, with the camera no longer in his hands. Indy snatches the hat away from Mutt as he passes, and the shot then cuts to a full view of all the wedding guests leaving the church, with Mutt in the center of the shot, still standing in the aisle the whole time. He takes out a comb and passes it through his hair, then picks up his jacket from the pew before he leaves, but the boxy Brownie camera is still nowhere to be seen. It's not in his pockets, and it's not in his jacket (the angular bulge would be more than noticeable).
Continuity mistake: Mutt points out at Orellana's mummy, whose shroud is tightened and neatly set. Indy walks towards it and the shot cuts to a closer angle where the shroud is now crappily set. Obviously there were previous shots of Indy opening it, and the shroud was later messily closed to repeat the shots.
Continuity mistake: When Indiana and Mutt are in the diner, notice the coffee cup Indy has on the table. In one shot, he has it in his hand. In another, his hand is not on it. This happens twice with the different camera angles.

Continuity mistake: Before Indy finds the crystal skull, the mummy's head has a piece of cloth on its forehead. In a wide shot immediately afterwards, this cloth disappears.
Continuity mistake: After the nuclear explosion when Indiana Jones is thrown into the air inside the fridge, in one shot the doors are closed, then open, and then closed again.
Continuity mistake: During the chase above the waterfall, the assault boat has its machine gun snapped off. When the assault boat goes over the waterfall the gun is visible again for a few seconds. The gun is gone when they get to the bottom.
Continuity mistake: Indy's mostly buried in the quick sands and he is handed a snake. Half a second later, when he has just managed to grab it he isn't buried as deeply.
Continuity mistake: During the scene where Indy and Mutt first find the skull and they are having a conversation about it. Indy is holding the skull with the face pointing to his right. As the camera changes back it is facing to his left, then it changes back again.
Answer: Yep, you've forgotten some details. The Knight specifically states that the immortality bestowed by the Grail is limited to those who remain within the shrine. Jones Snr left the cave, ergo, no immortality.
