Little things you notice about the movies

Raiders Of The Lost Ark (which is on TV right now), At the start, before going in to the tomb thingy, Indy puts some dirt into a cloth bag so he can swap the bag with the gold idol, & when he gets to the idol, he takes out the bag & takes a handful of dirt out, lightening it a bit! Well that little gold idol is going to weigh a fair old bit, so I'd have thought he should have made the bag heavier not lighter...but then his error does set off the (giant bolder) alarm (a rookie error from Indy).

One of the Thuggees on the cut bridge can be seen gripping Mola Ram to keep him up and secured. Probably just trying to score points with his boss.

I remember the VHS aspect ratio hid this, but you can see guys in the marketplace exchange a gun when Indy is sitting talking to Belloq.

You can see the Flying Wing in the Background in some scenes. For example when Indy goes into the map room.

In the Streets of Cairo-Scene a Shovel is tip over.

The holy Grails heals Indy's wound on his face.

Right before the great Sword-Scene in Raiders - the extras go from left to the right... from right to the left.

In "Raiders" Indy looses his Whip two Times. At the Beginning (Belloq) and on the Bantu Wind.

Temple of Doom: The medals on Captain whats-his-name’s dinner jacket indicates he’s a veteran of WW1 and served on the Western Front. He may also have been apart of British intervention in the Russian Civil War.

Right after the Indy leaves the Tent with Marion inside - you can see Sallah and his "Friends" running.

Right after Indy locates the Well of the Souls and he said "Thatt's it.". You can see Sallah (hiding his Face), his "Friends" and you can see Indiana Jones (behind Gobler).

How does Indy locate the Well of Souls? He is looking to his "Camera". First he is looking to the entrance of the Map Room. After this he is looking to the small Tower / Monolith laying on the ground. He knows this small Tower / Monolith from inside the Map Room. Now he can locate the Ark.
