I opened a thread relating to Belloq's Goggles, last weekend for the first time I actually noticed Belloq is wearing them when he comes into the tent to untie Marion.
I remember the thread, and I noticed the same thing tonight.
So who else went to the marathon and kept pen and paper handy to take notes??
I did, so....
I wish I had the time to pull screen grabs for all of this, but today I noticed:
* Belloq's "family label" is in Arabic.
* In the Chacapoyan Temple, at the first hint of tarantula music, before we really see them, you can see just one silhouetted on Indy's back.
* My 10-year-old son caught this: When Marion defends herself with a frying pan -- her attacker holds the knife with the blade up. Then it cuts to his hand with the blade down, then back to another shot from the front and the blade is up again.
* During the basket chase, Indy runs past a group of guys sitting on the ground, including a guy in the foreground who appears to be blind. A moment later, the blind guy is among the beggars when Indy tosses some change to get rid of them. (I assume the rest of the beggars were the other guys he just passed.)
* In the Well of Souls, Indy caresses the stone case holding the ark in bliss, but Sallah has a look of concern on his face about what they're about to reveal/unleash.
* Unless it's a different loading zone, the first shot of the flying wing doesn't appear to have any small temples or hills near it, though that's how we see it from Indy's perspective when he and Marion escape the Well. (I'd have to check the DVD for more confirmation on that one.)
* I never noticed the soldier actually stenciling the Ark crate before it gets loaded onto the flying wing.
* When Indy tries to board the flying wing, the first little soldier yells at him to come down. But his lips aren't moving.
* Indy's bag switches sides a few times as he rides after the Ark.
* I never realized "Meet me at Omar's" meant "Omar's Garage." Never saw the sign before, but wondered who the heck Omar was.
* Never noticed Wu Han had a really fresh cut on his forehead at Club Obi Wan.
* Shorty pulls a knife out in the spike room. Never realized he was packing a weapon.
* While the outside Thugee statue sport finger necklaces, the big Thugee statue inside sports a necklace made from entire arms.
* When they board the mine cart, there's a 6' beam inside, that shrinks to about 4' a minute later.
* When the water is rushing thru the tunnel, it pushes an oil barrel or something ahead of it. The same shot is used as a greenscreen background when Indy and Co. are running from the water a moment later.
* The face on the sarcophagus at Castle Grumvault (?) bears a striking resemblance to the butler himself.
* In the book burning scene, you can clearly see a metal grate mound beneath a top layer of books. To me it looks like pyrotechnicians built the grate, and then added a few books on top.
* In the zeppelin, Henry Sr.'s newspaper is upside down.
* On their getaway plane, Indy draws his pistol and shoots at the other planes as his dad mans the machinegun. It's seemingly nonstop action until they're on the beach, then suddenly he grabs his pistol and it's completely empty, not even spent cartridges.
* Looks like Indy has knee pads under his officer's pinks after he survives the tank fight.
* The Grail Knight has a shield just like his bro's resting against the wall near the entrance to the Grail room.
* In Crystal Skull, right when we get to Indy's house we see the father/son pic from LC. (I would have also liked to see his dad's grail paintings on the wall. Would have been a nice touch.)
* When we watch the map of his flight, the tail number on the Nazca plane is backwards.
Okay, that just about covers it. Without confirming with DVDs, I won't say all of those are guaranteed accurate. And perhaps many or all of them are things people already know. Maybe they're so inconsequential nobody cares. But they caught my attention for the first time today.
GREAT DAY!!!
