The top mistakes in Raiders of the Lost Ark http://www.moviemistakes.com/film1040 en Sat, 16 Aug 2008 05:55:07 +0000 10804 While Indy and Marion are in the Well of Souls, and they encounter the snakes, Indy falls to the ground only to be confronted by a hissing Cobra rearing its head. Look carefully and you'll see the snake's reflection on the safety glass between it and Indy. Briefly you can also see the torch's reflection while he's waving it around. <em>[This has been corrected in the new DVD set. You can only see it if you have the original VHS.

Then, turning the headpiece over, "Wait - take back one cadam to honor the God of Israel..." So, about five feet now, right?   But, when Indy goes to the map room the staff is much taller than him.  If the staff is about five feet high, Indy would be around three feet tall. 6245 What are all these German soldiers doing in British controlled Egypt prior to World War II.

But when he decides to leave her there, he puts the gag back on and some of her hair gets caught underneath the gag on one close up shot from the left. But when the camera goes to the back of Indy, her hair is no longer caught underneath the gag. 13357 After Marion supposedly dies in the truck explosion and Indy is drinking outside at the bar, watch to the left of him. You can see a man wearing a modern t-shirt and jeans walking through the crowd.
