Character mistake: In the plane, Mason says that Voller's associates killed three American civilians. But they only killed two: Mandy and Plimpton.
Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (2023)
1 character mistake
Directed by: James Mangold
Starring: Harrison Ford, Mads Mikkelsen, Boyd Holbrook
Continuity mistake: When the villains are following Indy through the caves, the old wooden bridge completely breaks and falls apart. However, when they make their escape across the same bridge, it's intact with only a couple of wooden slats broken.
Sallah: I miss the desert. I miss the sea. I miss waking up every morning wondering what wonderful adventure the new day will bring to us.
Indiana Jones: Those days have... come and gone.
Sallah: Perhaps...perhaps not.
Trivia: As Sallah leaves Indiana's place, he can be heard singing the same song that he sings in Raiders of the Lost Ark (when Marion gives him a thank-you kiss).

Suggested correction: This is not true, he's actually singing "I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream For Ice Cream".
Question: Is it ever explained how Voller managed to survive his encounter with being hit square in the face and falling off the speeding train without a scratch? My thoughts were that he touched the spear of destiny earlier (focused on in a scene) and became immortal, but Indy said it was fake. Plus, Voller dies at the end in 217BC. He also seems to have aged little compared to Indy. Is that a plot point they dropped or forgot about or something?
Answer: It was never explained and seems impossible that anyone could survive such an impact. My own thought was the scene was deliberately exaggerated to appear as if Voller was killed in order to fool and then surprise the audience when he later turns up alive. I also thought it looked as if he hadn't aged. Voller may have been much younger than Indy, possibly as much as 25-30 years. When Voller reappears in the 1960s, he looks more like actor Mads Mikkelsen's actual age. The film should have made him look younger at the beginning. There's a lot of "suspension of disbelief" here.
