As you could see in other parts of the enclosure was that they came in through holes and cracks in the walls.

just cause you can move around from room to room still doesn't answer the question how 7,000 snakes can feed themselves within, lets say a 1/4 of a mile space in the middle of the desert. I guess they don't have a big mouse problem in that area any more. :angel

This is basically where you have to suspend your disbelief as it is just a movie. There is an element to the supernatural in Indy movies that force us to do so, otherwise, we wouldn't buy any of it.

I understood it only because of what I heard about not being able to look at the face of God. Not to push this into a religious discussion, but Moses turned his look away from the Burning bush when he was receiving the Ten Commandments.

GOD: What are you doing now!?
INDY: I'm averting my eyes, oh Lord.
GOD: Well, don't. It's like those miserable Psalms-- they're so
depressing. Now knock it off!

Anyone else notice that after Indy takes the Idol and is trying to pull himself out of the hole, there is an opening just above him...I guess he could have gotten out there.

And then there is that thing about the Idol temple Light sensitive motion detectors. WHY and HOW would those Indians been able to make a light sensitive booby trap

The U-boat scene was an editing mix up. Originally filmed, he took the con officer knocked him out, took his clothes and and threw him off the deck. Before the announcement going to periscope level, you see him descending the ladder, adjusting the hat brim low and walking across the control room of the u-boat. At which times it was going to be assumed he hid in the boat.

I believe the issue of a missing man and him successfully hiding in a very cramp u-boat presented its own story line issues so they cut the film to what it was.

Just watched the movie. Thought for several years that it was Harrison Ford, but it's another actor entirely. Learned that while being in a discussion right here on the RPF. You also don't see the guy go down, you see him go up the ladder, presumably to close the hatch. Same actor all the way through.

There is no one at the outside of the sub when Indy reaches it, so who should he have decked and swapped clothes with anyway and appearing inside the sub all dry?

Well. A story from the shoot of Stargate showed that snakes and other creepy crawlers like to hide out in such places, as their pyramid set flooded with such. So... apparently not so uncommon, huh.

And yeah... the supernatural is also at work here.

Well, if Lucas had kept with some of the original ideas for Crystal Skull, it would have been alien tech.

There is nothing wrong with Raiders. Anyone who feels otherwise should be beaten with wooden sticks and made to eat soggy Franken Berry in warm milk....

 

[Apollo]

No they should be whipped WHIPPED I say!

Or the Well of the Souls is infested with rodents. Not entirely out of the question. Snakes tend to go where the food is. Rodents seem to go where the food is.

Yes, it's just a movie, but maybe they were storing grain nearby.

Nope. But they did film Indy riding the periscope.

 

[Kt Templar]

However, he doesn't have is gunbelt nor his whip when he leaves Marion and subsequently when he gets out of the water, so cannot tie himself to the periscope with his whip, it's back in Katanga's cabin.

 

[Effingham]

MY one complaint from Raiders is that he rides on the outside of a U-Boat. :rolleyes

You know those things travel on the surface if they can, right? He lashed himself to the periscope mast with his whip.

 

[GeneralFROSTY]

You guys are still ripping apart Raiders?! We don't need to know HOW he does it....he's Indy! That's what's great about these movies!
