Stoo said:Daley, please remember, according to the script & novel, it is the PILOT who sees the egg catch, not the co-pilot.
Though Indy's luck & chance factor is a far more believable explanation than 'psychic super ability'. (My girlfriend does strange things with her hands & arms when she is in a deep sleep. Maybe Indy does, too.)
Ooh, I haven't been paying attention ...I think that basically blows my theory out of the water with one fell swoop!! Okay I'm going to give it some more thought and see if I can bring something else to the table here, hmmm...
I was watching it again today (actually JUST got home after a screening - it was epic watching it surrounded by Indy fans, I loved every second of it!!) - but I paid special attention to the position of Indy's hands (since my previous post I theorised that his hand may have been laying open), and his right hand is actually resting on Shorty's shoulder throughout the scene - what did he do with the egg after he caught it (if he did?)... and why does it look like the position of his hand stays the same, from when we see the pilot pull pack the drape, until Willie wakes him up? Just something else I noticed
Could be clever editing as well. Hey perhaps they filmed two versions of the scene - one with the egg gag, one without?
