Bloopers

 

Not many movies is technical perfect. It´s a huge production and mistakes are made.

The Raiders-triology is no exception. This section will show some of the technical errors that You´ll see in the movies. I wont go into plot-holes and stuff like that, only factual technical errors.

And this is not made to point any fingers - I love these movies - but it is kind of fun to have a sneak-peak behind the scenes, and the "bloopers" gives You just that.

If You have noticed others than these I would very much like to know and add them here...

 

Raiders of the Lost Ark

 

The classical one, and the one edited in the DVD-version is Indy´s encounter with the cobra in the Well of Souls. Check this original screngrab from the VHS-version

                   

At the basket-chase the truck (what truck!) tips over when Indy shoots the driver - however he is getting a little help by a hydralic pole under the truck...

                   

 

At the truckchase Indy is caught at the front of the Mercedes just before he goes under it. However it has been a long day so far, so it is nice to have a chair to rest in....

               

 

Temple of Doom

At the carchase from Club Obi Wan a richshaw carrien  a sailor and a girl is blocking the way. It looks however like the sailor fells like changing seat just before Short Round hits the richshaw....

                           

 

Indy throws a propper fist, and the Tugee-guard in the mine will agree to that. However it looks like Indy got a little help when punching the guard real hard as he enters the mines to free the children... the guard was wired...

               

 

Last Crusade

In the begining of the movie Young Indy escapes the train through the "magic wagon". Not only was is magic - it was haunted as well - check this ghost out...

           

 

In Venice Indy is asked, when the boat is being chopped into sis kebap, if he is ready to die.... No way, and the boat was secured, hopefully because Speilberg needed Ford for the Indy 4...

       

 

At a point in the Tank-chase Indy´s father falls on the belt of the tank - not a healhty place to stay, and Indy saves him by catching his leg with his whip.

And a fast boy he is, Henry Jones Jr. And eager to show his father as well.  Carring the whip in his right hand he attacht it to his whipholder only to release it again and then catch his father...impressive...

                                       

                                                                               

 

Also at the tankchase Indy is getting stuck at the blown barrel of the sidecanon of the tank, fighting hard to get loose. He´s got no chance the bagstrap has a steelwire attached - no wonder he didn´t get loose sooner than he did....

                     

While at it.... How did they enter the tank anyway - there was no hole to the guntower...?
