Big Game

Revealing mistake: When Hauke breaks the neck of one of the American soldiers in the plane, it is very obvious that he only rests his hands on the soldier's head without twisting his neck. (01:10:14)

Big Game

Question: Why does Dovchenko salute and address Spalko as if she were a superior officer if both have the same rank and are part of the same military company (in which Dovchenko would have more authority, being an army officer, while Spalko is simply a doctor)? A similar case to compare would be Jürgen Voller in Dial of Destiny's prologue, who seems to have almost no authority over soldiers with lower military ranks.

Big Game

Continuity mistake: After the Brotherhood of the Cruciform Sword members begin shooting, in the wide shot of the canyon gunfight (with Indy, Henry and Sallah in the right corner of the screen), Vogel is standing behind the tank, shooting at the Brotherhood with his Luger. In the next shot, he's suddenly running with two soldiers. (01:25:47)

Big Game

Continuity mistake: Indy asks for shotgun shells and a soldier drops some inside Dovchenko's cap (which is in Indy's left hand). In the next shot, they are suddenly in the same hand that held the cap, which is now in Indy's right hand. (00:10:00)

Big Game

Continuity mistake: When Dietrich and Toht look at the ghosts that pass behind them, the column of mist that is coming out of the Ark disappears.

Continuity mistake: In the final cutscene of the Grail's Temple, Indy and Sallah are on their horses, laughing; then they move on. In the next shot, they have switched places.

Big Game

Question: Is it possible that this film had an alternate ending? In the audio of Raiders of the Lost Ark: The Movie on Record (released the same year, 1981), during the opening of the Ark, we can hear sounds, scenes, and screams that never appear in the final film (or in any deleted scenes). Examples of this are the sounds of the spirits, Dietrich's second scream, and Indy saying "You're all right, you're all right" to Marion (she answers "Yes...") after the Ark closes.

Big Game

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the movie, in the shot after Roscoe says "He's got our thing!", the lamp behind him and the lamp in front of Fedora disappear. Also, just after Roscoe says that line, immediately his voice is heard saying "Get him!", but his lips don't move. (00:04:44)

Big Game

Question: During this period (World War II), could anyone, without having to give any personal information, really request a person's address just by making a phone call, as Holmes does in this film?

Big Game

Continuity mistake: During the opening cutscene of the level "After the Ark," Toht is shown inside the Ark truck. In the level, he's driving the Staff Car.

Big Game

Bug: In the level Belloq Battle, after knocking down the right support of the Ark monster, Belloq is killed when the monster hits the floor of the altar. This happens before Belloq's actual death in the final scene of the level.

Big Game

Continuity mistake: Holmes says "One last warning" and looks at the Nazi on his left. In the next shot, he's now looking at the Nazi on his right. (00:03:48)

Big Game

Stupidity: Moriarty writes the fourth name and address of Tobel's code; he spells "Frederick Hoffner Sloane." However, as he reads the paper on which he has written the words, he also reads the word "Square," even though he has not written it. (00:54:35 - 00:55:00)

Big Game

Continuity mistake: Klaber handcuffs Teddy and Hauke, then moves on. He is followed by Hauke, Teddy, and Gunther. In the next shot, Voller and the two unnamed Nazis have suddenly appeared behind Klaber, and Hauke (with Teddy) and Gunther have switched places. (01:48:44)
