Now I ask you kind folks:

Have you ever known a man (on screen, on stage, IRL) who calls his mother “Mother” who wasn’t totally bad news?

The melting head at the end was achieved using gelatin, wax, and heat lamps, filmed in real-time at one frame per second.

Douglas Slocombe shot the film without a light meter, relying solely on his eyes.

Indy going under the truck and out the back is a nod to a similar stunt by Yakima Canutt in Stagecoach. There’s a whole dissertation waiting to be written on the many movies and directors who got referenced in Raiders. #TCMParty

This bit with Indy being dragged by the truck is, of course, an homage to a famous stunt performed by the legendary Yakima Canutt in John Ford's #Stagecoach

The famous truck chase took 8 weeks to plan but only one day to film most interior shots.

I'm not certain that the death toll in Raiders of the Lost Ark is actually all that far off from Rambo. #tcmparty

The plane fight scene used a forced perspective propeller to simulate a fatal hit without CGI.

Each punch in the movie was a baseball bat hitting a pile of leather jackets.
