What's left behind the scenes

  • The idea for the film matured in George Lucas and Steven Spielberg during a vacation in Hawaii. They were building a sandcastle on the beach when they suddenly decided to make an adventure film based on the television series of the 1940s. They ultimately began working on the script together with Lawrence Kasdan.
  • During the preparation for filming the scene in the Well of Souls, the filmmakers bought all the snakes sold in pet stores in London and Southern England. However, Spielberg still didn't have enough snakes, so they had to make imitations from hoses. If you look closely, you can see which snakes are real and which are fakes.
  • In the script, the main character's name is Indiana Smith. He received the surname Jones on the first day of filming.
  • During filming in Tunisia, almost all the actors and crew members fell ill, with the exception of Steven Spielberg, who, unlike the others, only ate what he had brought with him (mostly canned spaghetti).
  • The registration number of Jock's plane is OV-CPO. These designations used the names of characters from 'Star Wars': Obi-Wan and C-3PO.
  • The film contains a reference to Spielberg's first film, 'Duel' (1971). In the scene where Indiana looks in the rearview mirror at the Nazi truck approaching from behind, it seems that there is no driver in it.
  • The episode in which the monkey raises its paw and says “Heil Hitler” in its own language was conceived by George Lucas.
  • The scene in Cairo, where Indiana Jones shoots the Arab swinging a saber with a revolver, was initially conceived as a complexly staged duel, in which Jones, using a whip as a weapon, was supposed to fight a man ready to strike him with a saber. Harrison Ford, who was suffering from dysentery after three months of filming in Tunisia, was unable to film this physically demanding episode for another three days. Therefore, he suggested a shorter and simpler version. Some sources claim this was Spielberg's idea.
  • In the list of the 100 best American films of the 20th century compiled by the American Film Institute, this film ranked 60th.
  • The film’s producer, Frank Marshall, plays the role of the pilot, and Marion tries to hit him.
  • In the scene where Indiana Jones runs from the giant stone, Harrison Ford worked without a stunt double. The ball was made of fiberglass and weighed about 100 kilograms.
  • In the set of "Well of Souls", if you look closely at the wall painted with hieroglyphs behind the Ark of the Covenant, you can see that two robots – C3PO and R2D2 – are depicted among the "ancient writing". Smaller images of them are also present on the altar supporting the Ark.
  • The scene where Indiana Jones tries to blow up the Ark by firing a grenade launcher was filmed in Tunisia, in the same canyon used for filming "Star Wars" (1977).
  • Thailand appears on the map of Indy's flight from the USA to Nepal. But until 1949, this country was called "Siam".
  • When Indy threatens to destroy the Ark, he is holding a grenade launcher similar to the RPG-7, which was adopted by the USSR only in 1961.
  • On the globe in Dr. Jones' classroom, Africa is depicted with countries that did not exist in 1936.
  • Egypt was controlled by Great Britain in 1936. Therefore, the Nazis could not have carried out such a large-scale military operation as depicted in the film.
  • The route of Indy's first flight is as follows: Los Angeles, USA — Hawaii — Wake Island — Manila, Philippines — Nepal. The final leg is too long – in 1936, no aircraft could have made such a flight without refueling.
  • The map of one of the flights shows the state of Iran. However, although this name became official in 1935, maps continued to show "Persia" for many years.
  • The events of the film take place in 1936, however, the Nazis and their mercenaries use MP-40 submachine guns and Walther P-38 pistols, while this weaponry did not enter service with the Wehrmacht until 1938 at the earliest.
  • The idea for the film came to George Lucas and Steven Spielberg while on vacation in Hawaii. They were building a sandcastle on the beach and suddenly decided to make an adventure film based on the television series of the 1940s. They eventually began working on the script together with Lawrence Kasdan.

  • The scene in which Indiana Jones attempts to blow up the Ark by firing a grenade launcher was filmed in Tunisia, in the same canyon where scenes from 'Star Wars' (1977) were shot.
  • The state of Iran appears on a map of a single flight. However, although this name became official in 1935, 'Persia' was indicated on maps for many years.
