Well, actually, Temple does have one truly prequel moment, and that's the failed gun reach. 

 Actually, since that gag only is funny if it happened after Raiders, both to the audience and to Indy's expectations, I think that further weakens Temple as a 'prequel'

Not really.  That's how prequels work.  You're supposed to watch them after the original.  Well, at least to the audience.  I'll give you Indy's reaction.  That always left me scratching my head too.  But I guess it could just as easily work that it shows he wasn't as suave back in the day and better prepared himself in the future.
