Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)

Plot hole: When the sergeant takes control of the truck, Dietrich directs him to approach to crush Indy between the staff car and the truck, which takes time and allows Indy to make his famous scene. However, Dietrich could easily have shot him and arrived in Cairo with the Ark in his possession. (01:27:40)

Suggested correction: Shooting means risking hitting the truck's engine, which means finding new transport for the ark. All of which takes time off their schedule. Bad guys are always on a schedule.

Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)

Plot hole: On the dock at Geheimhaven, when the soldier discovers Indy, he stands up, coming fully into view. However, no-one sees him kicking and knocking out the soldier who discovered him (the Nazis on the dock and on the submarine are looking in Indy's direction). (01:39:50)
