Stupidity: When Voller's van arrives at the airfield, the mechanic shot by Gunther acts as if some strangers have arrived, although in the airfield there is a big Nazi plane, Nazi soldiers, and all the people there work for Voller (as it's shown when plenty of men open the hangar's door). Strangely, the mechanic seems to never notice any of these things.

Question: I remember seeing a couple of scenes only once. The first showed the inside of the Ark (as in the scene where the portal opens) with fire coming out of it. The second was a side shot of the Altar where you could see the fire lifting the bodies of the three main villains. Does anyone know where these scenes can be seen?

Answer: The audience sees everything they see. At first, they're transfixed by the magical apparitions around them and are marvelling at how beautiful/supernatural/awe-inspiring it is. Just as, I imagine, anyone else would. Then, the figure in front of them changes into something terrifying, and they scream in fear because they realise whatever is coming out of the Ark is, to put it mildly, not friendly. Then (again, as you'd expect), they are rooted to the spot in terror, and after that, well, it's kind of hard to escape when your face is melting off and/or exploding.
