Raiders of the Lost Ark is a 1981 adventure film and the first entry in the Indiana Jones series. After the release of its sequels, it has also been retroactively called Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark. It is directed by Steven Spielberg, with the screenplay written by Lawrence Kasdan and the story written by the film's executive producer George Lucas and Philip Kaufman.A few years before World War II, Nazi Germany was searching for supernatural artifacts. In this case, they were searching for The Ark of the Covenant, which held the remains of the tablets of the Ten Commandments. After getting word of this, Dr. Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford in his second iconic role) is sent to recover it, due to him knowing some people that had clues to where the Ark is held.This leads him and his old girlfriend Marion Ravenwood (Karen Allen) on a wild chase involving fighting bad guys in a burning bar, fighting bad guys on moving trucks, and killer sand ghosts.And that's not even taking into account what he has to go through in the prologue, which involves the iconic boulder escape scene.The film also features Paul Freeman as René Belloq, a rival archaeologist from France; Ronald Lacey as Arnold Toht, a sinister Gestapo agent; John Rhys-Davies as Sallah, Indy's Egyptian sidekick; Denholm Elliott as Marcus Brody, a fellow archaeologist and museum curator; and Alfred Molina in his film debut as Satipo, Indy's Peruvian guide.The film itself was a massive hit, but due to the Troubled Productions of Star Wars, and Jaws, studios were reluctant to fund a film by both Lucas and Spielberg, despite those respective films also being massive hits. Paramount eventually agreed to fund the film, although the series belongs to Lucasfilm (and now to Disney). While the production faced some hiccups (mainly the majority of the crew being ill in Tunisia), it wrapped ahead of time and on budget (something Spielberg felt was important). Kasdan was brought in to write a screenplay based on ideas born during story meetings between Lucas, Spielberg and Kasdan. The screenplay was so good that Lucas asked Kasdan to write the final draft of the first Star Wars sequel, The Empire Strikes Back. The rest, as they say, is history.The film is followed in chronological order by Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade and in production order by Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.

Artistic License – Gun Safety: The movie briefly has a Nazi machine-gunner try to kill Indy with it by firing in his general direction. Not only does he miss cleanly, the angle is such that he sprays the cargo compartment of the truck in front of him (the mooks in the truck are shown hitting the deck to avoid the gunfire).

Sallah is the smart and competent head of "the best digging crew in Egypt" but he acts like a bumbling buffoon several times around the Nazis, usually to keep them from finding out what Indy is up to, making the digger seem Beneath Notice.

If I Wanted You Dead...: This is actually more of a subversion, because the Hovitos do in fact know that they are there, it's just that they are following the advice of evil Adventurer Archaeologist René Belloq, and waiting for Dr. Jones to retrieve their sacred idol from the Death Course protecting it before ambushing him.

Tempting Fate: Shortly after recovering the Ark from the Wells of Souls, Colonel Dietrich is seen drinking and offers Belloq a drink, toasting to "our success in the desert", not knowing that at that very moment Indy is in the middle of trying to spoil their success by hijacking the plane to be used to fly the Ark out. Belloq, for his part, refuses to tempt fate and says that he'll only drink to success "when we are very far from here." Sure enough, Belloq is more pissed than shocked when he finds out that Indy escaped and destroyed their plane. Belloq jubilantly exclaims that the ark spirits are "beautiful". They quickly prove him dead-wrong, revealing themselves to be monstrous Angels of Death.

 Raiders of the Lost Ark / int_17a45ff5
comment
Misplaced Wildlife: The monkey looks like another capuchin. At least the monkey is a pet, and not necessarily native. The big, hairy spiders that climb all over Jones and his guide are Mexican red-kneed tarantulas, native to deserts and scrublands, not rainforests. The boa constrictor that falls on Marion, even though constrictors aren't found in the arid regions of Egypt. In the scene with the tomb full of snakes, one reptile that's visible is not only not Egyptian, but not a snake. It's a European glass lizard. Indy is treated to the threat display of a beautiful... monocled cobra. Egypt does have its own species of cobra, but it has no hood markings.

Master Swordsman
 Raiders of the Lost Ark / int_17a606bd
comment
One of the most famous examples in all of film; Indy, after going through a lengthy fight and chase sequence, is approached by a villainous swordsman who proceeds to show off a few fancy sword moves with a scimitar. Indy opts simply to pull out his gun and shoot the swordsman. (This wasn't in the original script and was a suggestion by Harrison Ford who had dysentery at the time of the scene and wasn't up for the scripted fight.)

All There in the Manual
 Raiders of the Lost Ark / int_17ce80aa
comment
All There in the Manual: The novelization reveals a few things... Before he goes off to find Abner Ravenwood, Indy is obviously having a relationship with one of his students. Marcus is aware of this, and it's strongly hinted that this is not the first time he's done this. Marion was only fifteen years old when she and Indy (who was in his twenties at the time) began their relationship. This explains her "I was a child! It was wrong and you knew it!" comment. Later Indyverse material such as Indiana Jones: The Ultimate Guide (2008) would retcon this to make Marion a couple of years older than that at the time of her relationship with Indy, but it's still a situation with unsavoury undertones. Marion also has something of a Dark and Troubled Past with regards to the bar she runs in Nepal (which is revealed to be called "The Raven"). Rather than it being left to her by her father (as viewers of the film might reasonably assume), it's mentioned in the novel that she actually started working there in order to make ends meet after Abner died, and that she "wasn't exactly the bartender" — no more is said, but the obvious implication is that she was obliged to prostitute herself. She took over the place after the previous owner "went crazy". Indy's owning of a bullwhip is explained by the fact that he was fascinated by the whip act in a travelling circus he saw when he was seven; he subsequently obtained one himself and spent many hours perfecting the art of how to use it. Marion recalls him practising with "that ratty old whip" every day. This, of course, would later be retconned by the prologue sequence of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (although said retcon does also involve a travelling circus). The headpiece to the Staff of Ra is (also) engraved with a warning not to look inside the Ark of the Covenant, which is how Indy knew to close his eyes when the Nazis opened it (although such advice can also be found in The Bible). Belloq spent several hours making a copy from the burn mark on Toht's hand, and so only knew what was engraved on one side of it. Belloq doesn't much care for the Nazis — in the novel, he is revealed to have met Adolf Hitler himself, and was unimpressed. This disdain does not, of course, stop him from working with them to recover the Ark, with which he is obsessed. Although it's not stated, he may well have got this obsession from Abner Ravenwood, who was his tutor as well as Indy's. The rivalry between Indy and Belloq goes all the way back to graduate school where Belloq stole Indy's research while Indy was conducting his, ah, extracurricular activities with his tutor's daughter. This also explains why Marion and Belloq are on a first-name basis, as — being a student of the same subject at the same institution as Indy — he'd have known the Ravenwoods too. Marion thinks that Belloq is a good kisser. Indy manages to stow away on the U-boat without drowning by using his whip to tie himself to the periscope (although in the film, he isn't carrying it when he boards the sub.) The base and the U-boat, along with its crew, were also destroyed by the Ark.

Artistic License – Biology: Like all reptiles, snakes are ectothermic animals, meaning they're attracted to sources of outside heat, not warded off by it. invokedWord of God didn't realize this, so a "making of special" shows Steven Spielberg humorously scolding a snake for messing up a scene. There's also the fact that most of the snakes are harmless non-Egyptian species including a European Glass Lizard, which isn't even a snake.

Never Trust a Trailer: An early trailer shows one of the booby traps protecting the Golden Idol, but makes it seem that this is in fact protecting the Ark itself. The trailers and merchandise make Toht out to be the sole Big Bad of the film while Belloq rarely got mentioned. While he is part of the Big Bad Duumvirate with Belloq, the latter has had more of a presence as an antagonist.

Appropriated Title: The movie was released as just Raiders of the Lost Ark, while subsequent installments would establish the Character Name and the Noun Phrase convention for the series. Home media releases changed the display title for this film to match, resulting in the rather long Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark (and wasn't Indy among the titular "raiders"?). The original title is still retained onscreen in the movie itself, however.

Adaptational Villainy: The novelization says that Marion was only fifteen when Indiana Jones first got involved with her (he was only 20-something, but it's still pretty creepy), which explains her "I was a child!" line. The novelization actually expands on Indy's evident thing for younger women — early on, he's having a fling with one of his students. Marcus picks up on this, and implies that it's not the first time Indy's done this.

All There in the Script: Toht's name is only revealed in the credits and in an old TV ad, and much, much later in LEGO Indiana Jones. According to the script, Abner Ravenwood was killed in an avalanche (a detail which also gets a mention in the novelization).

Chekhov's Gun: During the fight in Marion's bar, Toht tries to grab the medallion from a fire — and, not surprisingly, burns his hand. The burn marks on his hand allow the Nazis to translate one-half of the medallion.

Anachronism Stew
 Raiders of the Lost Ark / int_259d5879
comment
Indy is at two separate points seen with variations of the Browning Hi-Power; the first time, in the bar shoot-out, is a bit of a stretch but still at least possible (the weapon had entered production the year before, though at the time every one of them was for military contracts, on top of FN reaching an agreement with Colt to not sell the pistol in the United States). The second time on the Bantu Wind is pure Anachronism Stew, however — he's using a Canadian variant, the Inglis Hi-Power (distinguished by a noticeable hump below the rear sight) that didn't enter production until 1944.

comment
Put Down Your Gun and Step Away: Inverted, with Indy being the one holding a RPG launcher on the Nazi convoy aiming right at the Ark of the Covenant, and Belloq calling his bluff to blow up the Ark of the Covenant (with the Nazis present strongly objecting). He knows Indy well enough that a man of his archeological integrity cannot destroy something as priceless to history as the Ark.

Bilingual Bonus: The Nazi officer who finds Indiana at the U-boat base says, in German: "Good day. Tired? Why do you sleep? Wash yourself! And straighten your shirt, so that you don't look like a pig at your court martial. Stand up..." *punch* Before opening the Ark, Belloq recites an actual Jewish prayer that is said when opening the Torah ark in a synagogue (though his pronunciation is hilariously off).

Sadly Mythtaken: The plot's driver is that The Ark of the Covenant is some sort of magical weapon, and would make its owner invincible. In fact, one instance in 1 Samuel where the Israelites tried to use it as a weapon merely caused the Ark to get very angry at their disrespect and let them lose the battle. Given the Ark simply wiped out the Nazis who opened it, though, perhaps the part of retaliating against its owners was indeed noted.

Artifact of Death: The Ark of the Covenant supposedly grants the owner great power, and may be used as a means of communicating directly with God. However, opening the Ark releases the Wrath of God, and anyone who looks upon the spirits that are released dies an extremely gruesome death.

comment
Even Evil Has Standards: Belloq isn't pleased with Toht tossing Marion in the Well of Souls. And rivalry (and prior attempts to kill and steal from him) aside, he seems to generally admire and respect Indy, even openly acknowledging that Indy is better. When the Well of Souls is sealed he can't even manage a Bond One-Liner, and simply bids him a melancholy "adieu". Oberst Herman Dietrich is disgusted by Simon Katanga's implied desire to sell Marion into sexual slavery, although Katanga is deliberately lying to him to buy Indy time to escape. And that objection might be more ideological than humanitarian; a Nazi would hardly like the idea of a black man having sexual authority over a white woman.

I'm Melting!: Indiana Jones tells Marion to not look at Belloq, Dietrich, Toht and the Nazis open the Ark of the Covenant. Indy and Marion wisely keep their eyes closed, while the Nazis and Belloq suffer God's wrath. Those who look end up being killed gruesomely by the Ark, but Toht is the one whose death stands out, as his face literally melts off of his skull in liquid form. He is left gurgling on his own blood even after most of his skin has been graphically reduced to a fleshy puddle, implying that he's drowning in his own blood as his flesh liquefies.

It's become a meme that Indy never loses his fedora, but in Raiders, Marion takes off his hat aboard the Bantu Wind and he never got it back before he snuck onto the U-boat. When he has the meeting in Washington at the end of the movie, he's wearing a different gray fedora that matches his suit (which is the proper fashion for wearing fedoras). We aren't shown how he got the hat back in time for the movies that take place later.

Damsel in Distress: Marion Ravenwood is captured by Toht and threatened with torture in her own bar and has to be rescued by Indy. Later in Cairo she's captured by the Germans' Arab allies and carried away in a basket. Then she's captured yet again by Nazi troops while she's aboard the ship. Somewhat averted because she isn't completely helpless, including knocking out one of her Arab pursuers with a frying pan and pulling a knife on Belloq in an attempt to escape.

On Second Thought: When Marion gets thrown into the tomb with Indy, she first catches a statue, then when she falls from the statue he catches her in his arms before she hits the floor. She angrily throws herself out of his arms, but when she sees the swarm of snakes she decides that being off the floor was the better choice after all and climbs on top of Indy.

Worthy Opponent: Just before entering the temple at the beginning, Indy mentions a competitor, Forrestal, who died here. Unlike Belloq, Forrestal seemed to be a legitimate archeologist, and Indy's tone indicates he had a good deal of respect for him. When Indy finds Forrestal's body impaled on the spike trap, he identifies him in a hushed tone. The novelization states that Indy liked Forrestal, and was pained by the thought Forrestal was killed here.

Rejected by the Empathic Weapon
 Raiders of the Lost Ark / int_49b29c7a
comment
Rejected by the Empathic Weapon: The Ark had already rejected the Nazis far in advance, when it burns the swastika off of the transportation crate its contained in, and later gruesomely kills and annihilates Belloq and the Nazis in the climax. At the same scene in the movie, the trope is averted with Indy and Marion, when Indy, in awed panic, realizes the true power of the Ark, and orders Marion to shut her eyes, of which he also does. They're the only ones to survive, and are even mysteriously freed (their binding ropes burned in one spot) when all is said and done.

Gory Discretion Shot: The camera cuts away as the Giant Mook gets turned into red paste, only showing the splash of blood on a swastika. This is occasionally edited out of broadcast versions, but it's anyone's guess if they're editing out the blood or the swastika itself. The mook who is run over by Indy's truck gets a Scenery Censor, as well. During most of the film, though, the writers love creative ways of including gore.

Combat Pragmatist
 Raiders of the Lost Ark / int_49fb5ccb
comment
Combat Pragmatist: One of the most famous examples in all of film; Indy, after going through a lengthy fight and chase sequence, is approached by a villainous swordsman who proceeds to show off a few fancy sword moves with a scimitar. Indy opts simply to pull out his gun and shoot the swordsman. (This wasn't in the original script and was a suggestion by Harrison Ford who had dysentery at the time of the scene and wasn't up for the scripted fight.) In the scene where he fights the Giant Mook mechanic by the plane, Indy practically runs down a checklist of pragmatic/dirty fighting moves. Pulling a Look Behind You and then launching a surprise Groin Attack? Check. Biting? Check. (And bonus points for it not being a last resort either.) A fistfull of sand to the eyes? Check. Attempting to reach his fallen gun with the apparent intention of shooting a completely unarmed man? Check! And, finally, Indy "defeats" him by serving as another distraction until the guy realizes too late that he's directly in the path of a spinning propeller.

Wham Shot: Toht introduces himself to Belloq with a "Heil Hitler" salute, revealing the imprint of the medallion burned into his hand. While the Ark sits inside a Nazi crate during transport, a lingering shot of the crate's exterior shows the swastika gracing it burn off with a blue flame. This is the first unambiguously supernatural occurrence in the film, and doubles as a foreshadowing of what the Nazis have in store when they decide to open the Ark. After the feds have taken possession of the Ark against Indy's objections, it's sealed in a nondescript crate and wheeled into the ginormous warehouse among thousands upon thousands of identical nondescript crates.

Early-Installment Weirdness
 Raiders of the Lost Ark / int_4f4372e9
comment
Early-Installment Weirdness It's the only entry in the series to have been originally released with a title not beginning Indiana Jones and the.... Subsequent rereleases, however, have added those words to the title for consistency with the later films (though the 2023 re-release does use the original title). It's relatively more serious in tone than any of its sequels. While it has its share of laughs, most of these consist of brief, dryly humorous moments (like the iconic shooting-the-swordsman scene), compared with the fairly constant banter and even slapstick elements that characterized the sequels. Related to this it ends on a bittersweet note with the US Government confiscating the Ark and Marion taking a dejected Indy out for a drink to try and cheer him up. The next three films all have considerably more upbeat endings. Brody is presented in this film as an older version of Indiana Jones who retired from field work. Brody himself states if it had been five years earlier would have gone after the Ark himself and it's implied he would've stood a reasonable chance of successfully recovering the artifact. Fast forward a couple years and we see a man who is completely out of his element in the field and once got lost in his own museum. It's become a meme that Indy never loses his fedora, but in Raiders, Marion takes off his hat aboard the Bantu Wind and he never got it back before he snuck onto the U-boat. When he has the meeting in Washington at the end of the movie, he's wearing a different gray fedora that matches his suit (which is the proper fashion for wearing fedoras). We aren't shown how he got the hat back in time for the movies that take place later. Indy is portrayed as far more cynical, greedy, and morally ambiguous in this film compared to the sequels. Examples include falling out with his mentor over having an affair with his underage daughter, and then later abandoning her to the Nazis because rescuing her would make it more difficult to get the Ark. When Belloq says that it would take only a nudge to make Indy more like himself, he's not far off.

Belloq isn't pleased with Toht tossing Marion in the Well of Souls. And rivalry (and prior attempts to kill and steal from him) aside, he seems to generally admire and respect Indy, even openly acknowledging that Indy is better. When the Well of Souls is sealed he can't even manage a Bond One-Liner, and simply bids him a melancholy "adieu".

However, without him, the Nazis would have gotten nowhere. Colonel Herman Dietrich, the leader of the Nazis searching for the Ark, also qualifies. Although Dietrich looks imposing, he never does any physical work apart from manhandling Marion, leaving his Nazis to do all the fighting.

Artistic License – History
 Raiders of the Lost Ark / int_56515a39
comment
Artistic License – History: The Nazis have a vast base complete with soldiers and aeroplanes in Egypt, which had a strong British military presence at the time. Ditto for the hidden U-Boat base in the Aegean — Germany didn't occupy Greece until 1941 (their ally Italy held Rhodes and the Dodecanese, but whether they would have allowed a German U-Boat base on one of the smaller islands is another question). Tanis, one of the ancient capitals of Egypt, is depicted as having been a lost city since antiquity, which Abner Ravenwood had more or less dedicated his life to locating, and Indy reacts with consternation upon learning that the Nazis have re-discovered it. In real life Tanis has never been a lost city; located in the Nile Delta north-east of Cairo, it was first studied in 1798 during Napoleon Bonaparte's Egyptian campaign, and was the site of numerous archaeological excavations in the 19th century. Contrary to what the US government agents say at the beginning of the movie, Hitler was not obsessed with the occult, although other Nazis (notably SS chief Heinrich Himmler) were. In fact, historians largely believe that he was for the most part openly scornful of occultism and mysticism, similar to his views on religion, and he seems to have regarded archaeology in general as a waste of time. That said, he was OK with the search for legendary relics because of their propaganda value. The Gestapo, of which Toht is evidently a member (what with the black leather overcoat), was dedicated to internal security within Nazi Germany (and, later, the territories it conquered). There's no way one of its agents would be sent on a mission to Nepal as part of an operation in Egypt. It would make more sense for Toht to be an agent of the SD (SS intelligence) or the Ahnenerbe. He was probably presented as a Gestapo agent because as far as sinister Nazi organisations go, it's much more widely known.

Holy Is Not Safe: The Nazis succeed in their goal of smuggling the Ark out of Egypt, but its power turns out to be too great for them to harness. In the climax, all of the villains — Dietrich, Toht, Belloq, and all of their Mooks — are struck dead, melted alive or otherwise smitten by the Ark's power as soon as they open it.

Sword Fight: The movie famously teases a swordfight when Indy is faced with a scimitar-wielding baddie, only for Jones to whip out his gun and shoot him. Hollywood lore has it that Harrison Ford had dysentery the day of the shoot and did not want to perform the scripted sword fight scene.

Vapor Trail: Toht ignites a trail of spilled booze on the bar in an attempt to incinerate Indy. The flame burns its way along the entire length of the bar and Indy only just manages to get his head out of the way in time. Happens by accident during the scene with the flying wing due to a series of minor mistakes. Marion unchocks the wheel of the flying wing to use the chocks as a weapon against a Mook, and the plane starts to turn in place and its wingtip punctures a fuel truck. Next, Marion uses the plane's machine gun turret to keep Nazi reinforcements at bay and stuff catches fire. The fuel pouring out of the truck eventually reaches the blaze, Indy rescues Marion and they run for cover, and then the whole airstrip explodes.

Hollywood Density: The gold idol at the start of the film, which should weigh far too much to be toted around as easily as it is, let alone weigh about the same as a small bag of sand. When Indy looks at it, he actually removes sand from his bag to approximate its weight. A solid gold object of that size would weigh about 27 lb / 12 kg. However, it's never explicitly stated that the idol is indeed solid gold.

We Have Reserves: During the Nepal bar brawl, Indy is struggling against one of Toht's burly mooks. Toht, however, tells one of his other mooks to "Shoot them. Shoot them both." This has the hilarious effect of making both Indy and the big mook stop fighting over a gun for a moment in order to shoot the other mook who is about to shoot both of them. After killing the other mook together Indy and the first mook go right back to fighting each other again.

Freeze-Frame Bonus: If you look carefully at the shot where the Germans are disembarking from the submarine you'll notice that Marion's guard has one arm in a sling and is covered in bandages. When Belloq, Dietrich, and Gobler are at the dig site discussing their progress, Sallah walks right through the group, covering his face with the end of his keffiyeh scarf. When Indy and Marion escape the Well of Souls, there's an Arab man sitting next to where they come out, apparently sleeping in the shade of the structure.

Always Save the Girl: Subverted twice: Just after he discovers the location of the Ark in the map room, Indy dodges some Germans by ducking into a tent in their camp, only to be surprised to find that Marion is tied up and gagged in the tent. He had thought she was killed in the earlier street fight. He starts to release her, but then changes his mind and gags her again, telling her that he'll come back for her later, since if he frees her now the Germans will start searching the area for him and he'll loose his chance to recover the Ark. Indy offers to let the Nazis keep the Ark in exchange for Marion, threatening to destroy the Ark if they don't comply. Belloq calls his bluff. He knows Indy won't be able to bring himself to destroy the Ark, even to keep it out of the Nazis' hands. Indy gets captured.

Indy Escape: Trope Maker.

Guns vs. Swords: In a famous scene, Indiana Jones is confronted by a formidable sword wielder. So Indy just shoots him. Allegedly a hasty rewrite. An epic Sword Fight was planned but Harrison Ford had a minor back injury when it was due to be filmed. Comedy and pragmatism took the day. Another version has Ford suffering from diarrhea that day. All the cast and crew got food poisoning at some point during filming in Tunisia, aside from Steven Spielberg who only ate canned food.

Jerkass Has a Point: Belloq is absolutely right that Indy could have walked out with the idol at the start if he'd bothered to ingratiate himself with the natives. And also that in this case there is really nothing separating Indy from him. What actually makes them different comes up later, as Indy would never associate himself with Nazi Germany for profit and glory.

 Raiders of the Lost Ark / int_6cb4cb70
comment
Improperly Placed Firearms: Various soldiers and other armed militants are equipped with Walther P38 pistols or MP40 submachine guns, guns that did not exist in 1936. The MP40 was first produced in 1940 and the P38 was first produced in 1938. Indy is at two separate points seen with variations of the Browning Hi-Power; the first time, in the bar shoot-out, is a bit of a stretch but still at least possible (the weapon had entered production the year before, though at the time every one of them was for military contracts, on top of FN reaching an agreement with Colt to not sell the pistol in the United States). The second time on the Bantu Wind is pure Anachronism Stew, however — he's using a Canadian variant, the Inglis Hi-Power (distinguished by a noticeable hump below the rear sight) that didn't enter production until 1944. German soldiers use Mauser Karabiner 98k rifles, introduced in 1935, so it is conceivable they could be out of the country by 1936, but they would more likely carry the Mauser Gewehr 98 at that time. Near the climax of the movie, Jones is seen holding a Soviet RPG-2 rocket launcher, which was not produced until 1949. Such shoulder-fired rocket launchers didn't even exist in 1936; they came about during the war to replace the older anti-tank rifles.

Wrench Whack: While Indy's going for the pilot's seat of a still-grounded airplane, an on-hand Nazi mechanic innocently questions the jacketed figure with a wrench. Then, when Indy kicks him in the face for his troubles, he gets up and starts swinging it.

You Wouldn't Shoot Me: A variation. Indy threatens to shoot the Ark of the Covenant with a panzerfaust if the Nazis don't release Marion. Belloq refuses, taunts Indy to blow it up, and points out how Indy can't do it because of the Ark's archaeological value. Indy thinks about it, realizes Belloq is right and gives up. To prove his point, Belloq even helps Indy by holding the German soldiers at gunpoint with a submachine gun when they try to shoot Indy or get in the way of Indy's line of fire.

Lost in Transmission: There's a gold talisman that has instructions to find a temple. The antagonist tries to steal it from our main characters, but grabs the talisman while it is so hot that it burns his skin. The result is that he has a copy of the talisman, and its readable instructions, seared into his palm. It looks like the bad guys will find the temple first, searching where the man's scarred skin says to search. However, the main characters then learn that the talisman actually has instructions on both sides; the bad guys' gruesome "copy" only has one side.

Establishing Character Moment: The iconic temple cold open is basically one long example of this for Indy. "Dr. Jones. Again you see there is nothing you can possess which I cannot take away. And you thought I'd given up." Belloq's entire personality and shared history with Indy laid out in three sentences. Marion drinking a huge mountain climber under the table and then punching Indy in the face. The first thing Major Toht does after giving up his pretense of affability is to go for a hot fire poker and have his men hold Marion still — not so he can extract the information from her through torture, but just because he can.

Actually Pretty Funny: When Belloq's Mooks are about to gun down Indiana in the bar, Sallah saves him by having his children come rushing in and declaring that "Uncle Indy" must come home with them immediately. Many of the minions (still holding their rifles and guns) can't help but laugh and smile at the ploy, and even Belloq seems amused by the situation. Again with Bellog when Marion pulls a knife on him so she can escape. Justified because he's rather drunk from Marion's attempt to drink him into unconsciousness.

Never Bring a Knife to a Gun Fight: Especially when the actor with the gun is sick and wants to get the scene over with. A Master Swordsman approaches Indy, elaborately showing off his skills with his scimitar. Indy doesn't entertain the idea of duelling the swordsman at all, and instead casually pulls out his pistol and shoots him dead. As the story of the film's production goes, there was to be an extended sword fight, but Harrison Ford (playing Indy) was sick with dysentery, and suggested that he just shoot the swordsman. They decided to go with it.

As she goes in for a kiss he falls asleep, exhausted.

Holy Burns Evil: A Downplayed example. While the Ark of the Covenant is stored in a Nazi crate, it burns the swastika off the crate. The Ark does kill all the Nazis when they open it, but that's because Holy Is Not Safe. Indy and Marion would have died as well if they hadn't been smart enough to close their eyes first.

What a Drag: Indy is dragged under the truck. Of course, being Indy, he is barely scratched. For filming the scene, they dug a trench in the road and the driver had to be careful to keep it in the center of the truck and the stunt man had to be lucky. If you look closely, you can see the trench.

Didn't Think This Through: Belloq casts his lot in with an organization of anti-Semites hell-bent on eradicating the people who originally built and kept the Ark in deference to their God, all the while gleefully gloating to Indy that the Ark can allow him to communicate with said God. At the end of the day the rabbinical robes and torah reading were comparatively lighter blasphemies...

Peek-a-Boo Corpse: There are a few of these throughout the movie. The first one is when Indy triggers a spike trap, revealing the body of a Doomed Predecessor. The second one is the body of Indy's treacherous guide who fell into the same trap. The third one is in the Well of Souls when Marion explores the other chamber, only to discover that the room is filled with screaming rotting corpses.

comment
Big Bad Duumvirate: Technically all three antagonists are working for the Greater-Scope Villain Adolf Hitler, but all three have their own authorities and agendas — Belloq is in charge of the actual archaeological side of things which the other two are clueless about, Dietrich provides the military muscle and is nominally in charge but would be ineffectual without Belloq in his mission, and Toht is more of a specialist Torture Technician probably on loan from either the Gestapo or the SS and not necessarily a subordinate to Dietrich as he is part of a separate command structure. All three die together, killed by the Ark while standing as equals over it, with Belloq (the least powerful) being in the centre of the group between the other two.

Greater-Scope Villain: Hitler never appears, but his Nazis' plot to find the Ark is all part of his plan for world domination.

However this is described as Offscreen Villainy as it is just narrated through Belloq's memories of the meeting a few moments before.

comment
Foreshadowing: When the film goes to all that effort to reveal so many deadly booby traps in the jungle temple and that they all still work, it's inevitable that they're going to get set off and additional unseen deadly traps will be released. Indy tells the two men in the lecture hall scene that nobody really knows how long the Staff of Ra is. The Nazis think they find out thanks to Toht burning his hand on the medallion and later translating the inscription on that half of it, but, as the interpreter points out, they missed the other side of the medallion's inscription saying the staff should be shorter. We don't really see outright supernatural stuff in the film, until the Ark is on the cargo ship, and the box containing it suddenly gets partly burned, blackening out the swastika, and just the swastika, showing exactly what God thinks of the Nazis and why not having respect for the Ark's power is a BAD idea. The wind picks up when the interpreter reads the true height of the staff off of the headpiece of the staff of Ra. Later, the multiple lightning strikes across the sky when Indy and his men are uncovering the Well of Souls are heavy hints that God is less than pleased that the ark is being recovered. The propeller from the plane comes into play twice before it slices the Giant Mook to pieces. First, before taking on the Giant Mook, Indy fights a regular-sized mechanic who attacks him with a wrench. The fight ends just after Indy wrestles the wrench into the path of the propeller, which cuts off the head of the wrench. The second time, Indy himself almost runs head-first right into the propeller during the middle of the fight with the Giant Mook. Major Toht burns his hand horribly when he grabs the medallion out of the fire in Marion's bar. He really should have learned his lesson the first time, because the next time he touches a sacred artifact, the consequences for him are even more severe. In the map room, the words "Nicht stören" or "Do not disturb" are painted on the (presumed) location of the Well of Souls and Ark. Whoever left that message should've taken that advice to heart.

 Raiders of the Lost Ark / int_9da6354b
comment
Reality Has No Subtitles: In the US releases this applies. Zigzagged in the Japanese Trilogy Box Laserdisc, where the German lines are subtitled, but other languages aren't. Belloq speaks to the Hovitos in their native language, presumably telling them how great he is to have retrieved their holy object. While Indy and Sallah are infiltrating the Nazi archaeological dig, German soldiers repeatedly speak in German to them. Mostly they are asking Sallah to get them some water. While Indy, Sallah and the Egyptian workers are digging up and opening the Well of Souls, the workers sing a work song in Arabic and Sallah repeatedly speaks to the workers in Arabic to supplement Indy's instructions, all with no translation. While Indy is trying to capture the Nazi Flying Wing, the huge guard calls out to him in German. He is daring Indy to fight him. While Indy is trying to steal the truck carrying the Ark of the Covenant, the German officer gives orders to his men in the back of the truck in German. During the U-boat's journey to the island, the Nazi sailors aboard talk to each other in German. Once the U-boat arrives at the island, the soldiers in the port and a PA system speak in German. After Indy sneaks into the secret Nazi island base, he performs a Mugged for Disguise on a Nazi soldier for the purpose of Dressing as the Enemy. Before he's completely dressed a Nazi officer discovers him and starts criticizing him (in untranslated German) because he's out of uniform. During the ceremony where the Ark is opened, Belloq speaks ceremonial words in Aramaic (with mangled pronunciation).

Artistic License – Religion: Marcus speculates that the Nazis want the Ark because "an army that carries the Ark before it is invincible". In The Bible, every time the army of Israel carried the Ark into battle without God's specific direction to do so, they were soundly trounced and usually lost the Ark as well. For the capturing nation, at best, it would remain inert. At worst... well, let's just say it was usually hastily returned, often with a request to please ask the Lord to stop smiting them now. Although Hitler did say several things in real life indicating that he believed he was specifically directed by God to take over the world. Whether it was a lie he used to motivate his followers or he actually believed it is up for debate. Belloq also made the fatal mistake of getting all the ritual gear right but missing the multiple clear warnings not to look in it.

Mood Whiplash: Indy and Sallah are jubilant when they realize that Belloq has incorrect information due to only having part of the information describing the staff of Ra, and thus the location in the map room. The mood suddenly chills when Sallah barely saves Indy from being poisoned seeing the dead monkey holding a half-eaten date. When the spirits first come out of the ark, Belloq exclaims "It's beautiful!" Indeed, the spirits are rather serene... until they turn really angry. Cue harsh music, screaming, and faces melting.

And There Was Much Rejoicing: The movie features a minor character version. At one point a swordsman in black challenges Indiana and starts swinging his sword around. However, Indy isn't in the mood for a fight and promptly shoots him. The crowd around the swordsman immediately starts cheering.

Obfuscating Stupidity
 Raiders of the Lost Ark / int_a7aef9ff
comment
Obfuscating Stupidity: Several characters use the Nazis' racist nature against them: Sallah is the smart and competent head of "the best digging crew in Egypt" but he acts like a bumbling buffoon several times around the Nazis, usually to keep them from finding out what Indy is up to, making the digger seem Beneath Notice. Captain Katanga seems well aware that the Nazis will see a black man like him as being little more than a barbarian and pirate. He plays up the stereotype to protect Indy and Marion, claiming he killed the former so they won't search the ship for him and that he plans to sell Marion into sexual slavery in an attempt to keep the Nazis from taking her. The latter doesn't work but, he's got a great deal of nerve for being able to lie right to their faces and get away with it.

comment
The propeller from the plane comes into play twice before it slices the Giant Mook to pieces. First, before taking on the Giant Mook, Indy fights a regular-sized mechanic who attacks him with a wrench. The fight ends just after Indy wrestles the wrench into the path of the propeller, which cuts off the head of the wrench. The second time, Indy himself almost runs head-first right into the propeller during the middle of the fight with the Giant Mook.

Ruthless Modern Pirates: The crew that are hired to transport Indy, his Doggone Partner and the Ark pretend to be these to try and prevent the two of them being captured by Nazis (claiming they killed Indy and planned to sell her into slavery). Interestingly it fails — most likely not because the Nazis were such good guys, but because the pirates have the wrong skin color.

Near-Villain Victory: Indiana Jones arrives on the Nazi-controlled island and finds The Ark, but the Nazis capture him and hold him and Marion prisoner while they open it up. This turns out to be a bad idea on their part, due to God hating the Nazis and the fact that the Nazis look at the Ark when it is opened. The angels that come out of the Ark soon attack everyone except Indy and Marion (who kept their eyes closed). All the Nazis on the island are killed and Indy and Marion are freed, as when they reopen their eyes they find that their bonds are cut.

Subverted when it turns out Belloq isn't too shabby at holding his liquor himself, forcing her to go to plan B (grab a knife and try to duck out).

Oh, Crap!: Marion has one when she sees Toht approaching her with the red-hot poker from her bar's fire. Indy's reaction when he sees the huge Nazi mechanic challenging him to a fight is more the style of This Is Gonna Suck. But at the end, Indy and the mechanic himself are definitely in Oh, Crap! mode just before the latter is sliced to ribbons by the propeller. Indy and Marion during said fight when they see the spilled petrol spreading towards the fire in the distance.

Conveniently Timed Attack from Behind: Marion Ravenwood knocks out a mook from behind with a burning log during the bar fight near the beginning just as he's about to shoot Indiana Jones. She does this sort of thing again later during the fight on and around the Nazi plane. A German pilot is about to shoot Indy when he's hit over the back of the head, and we see Marion Ravenwood lifting some airplane wheel chocks triumphantly.

All for Nothing
 Raiders of the Lost Ark / int_aed65980
comment
All for Nothing: In the opening segment, due to Belloq’s intervention, Indy fails in his quest to retrieve the golden idol of the Hovitos and barely escapes with his life. Implied by the ending where Indy is told the Ark is being handled by "top men" (meaning Indy's accomplishment in finding it is barely being acknowledged), and the final shot shows the Ark enclosed in a crate and stored away in a massive, seemingly endless warehouse full of identical-looking crates — meaning it's going to be ignored. It hasn't fallen into the Nazis' hands, but in essence it remains lost and buried just as it was to begin with. Marion's escape attempt from Belloq's tent, where she makes use of her talent at drinking large quantities of liquor and staying relatively sober, abruptly fails. Belloq held his liquor better than she had planned for, thus she was far more drunk than she had planned when she made her attempt. When she does make her attempt, Toht appears at the entrance the moment she's about to leave. It also isn't clear she would have gotten very far even if she had successfully escaped the tent, as the place is crawling with Nazis, she'd be without any supplies beyond a knife, and she isn't exactly dressed in a way that would help her survive a night in the desert. And she's drunk.

Tap on the Head: Marion Ravenwood. She takes out a mook with a burning log to the back of the head during the bar fight in Nepal. In Cairo she's pursued into a building by a mook and knocks him out (off camera) with a frying pan. While Indy is fighting the Nazis around the flying wing, she KO's the pilot with the plane's wheel chocks. Indiana Jones knocks out two Nazi guards with the "punch to the jaw" technique to steal their uniforms so he can perform Dressing as the Enemy. In the second of these, there are two clearly audible blows after Dr. Jones hauls the guard over the pile of boxes, so it's "Taps".

Retcon
 Raiders of the Lost Ark / int_b2280b66
comment
Indy's owning of a bullwhip is explained by the fact that he was fascinated by the whip act in a travelling circus he saw when he was seven; he subsequently obtained one himself and spent many hours perfecting the art of how to use it. Marion recalls him practising with "that ratty old whip" every day. This, of course, would later be retconned by the prologue sequence of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (although said retcon does also involve a travelling circus).

Too Dumb to Live: Satipo (Alfred Molina), Indy's South American traitorous guide at the beginning. He forgets about the trap Indy discovered minutes earlier and blunders right into it. Throughout the movie, the Nazis make sure not to touch the Ark. Belloq even wears the correct high priest outfit and speaks a Hebrew prayer before they open it. Apparently they missed the passages these precautions come from that explicitly say that if you look into the Ark you will die. Then they forget the passages that say not to touch the Ark when they touch the Ark by removing the lid to open it. This is all on top of the fact that they apparently forget that they're trying to harness the power of an artifact owned by a God whose chosen people they're actively trying to wipe off the face of the earth.

Archaeological Arms Race: This is alluded to, since both the US Army Intelligence and the Nazis might want to use the Ark as a weapon (although it's more of a powerful spiritual artifact than lost technology). More directly to the "arms race" portion, US Intelligence gets wind that Hitler is looking for the Ark, and decides that if he wants it, it's in their best interests to make sure he doesn't get it.

Did They or Didn't They?: "I was a child; I was in love! It was wrong and you knew it!" It's not made clear how far Indy and Marion's relationship went back in the day. It's also not explicit what happened overnight on the freighter, since Indy fell asleep earlier, although Marion being nude under the covers in the morning is a hint that he woke up again.

Needle in a Stack of Needles: Indy sees Marion getting carried off in a straw basket, and chases her into the square — which is crammed with people carrying identical baskets. He just goes for knocking them all open until he hears her shouting elsewhere. At the end of the movie, the Ark is put in a nondescript wooden crate and hidden in a warehouse full of other identical, nondescript wooden crates.

Curb Stomp Cushion: At the end of the fight scene with the mechanic, Indy is losing but makes one final effort to win the fight, getting more aggressive (including literally roaring) and manages to punch the mechanic right in the face with several big blows. The mechanic still beats him but is visibly bloody afterwards, the first time that he's really shown much of an effect from Indy's punches.

Shout-Out
 Raiders of the Lost Ark / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: At the scene where Indy and Sallah get the ark, you can see C-3PO and R2-D2 carved on a column behind Indy if you look hard enough. The booby-trapped statue and boulder-chase scene are taken from the Scrooge McDuck comics-story "The Seven Cities of Cibola" by Carl Barks. Sallah sings snippets of two songs from H.M.S. Pinafore, "I am the monarch of the sea" and "A British tar." The plane waiting for Indy at the beginning of the film has a registration number. It's "OB-CPO", an obvious reference to Obi-Wan Kenobi and C-3PO from Star Wars. The plane's starting-up sound is the Millennium Falcon's hyperdrive sputtering-out sound. The ending scene, showing the Ark being stored in a crate in a huge warehouse of identical crates, is an homage to the ending of Citizen Kane.

comment
Just Plane Wrong: Indy flies out of San Francisco on a Short Solent 3, first flown in 1946, which makes stopovers at Honolulu (Hawaii), Wake Island, Manila (Philippines) and finally arriving at Nepal (possibly Kathmandu). All of these non-stop flight stretches (ranging from 2,300-3,000 miles) are way too long for the Short Solent's maximum range of approximately 1800 miles (the Solent was representing the Martin M-130 China Clipper, which crashed in 1945. Its range was 3,200 miles, for reference). And unless Indy caught a connecting flight in Manila, he couldn't have taken the Solent 3 to Kathmandu; the Solent, like the M-130, was a flying boat — it has no landing gear so it can't land on a conventional runway. Indy and Marion travel from Nepal to Egypt on a Douglas DC-3. The DC-3 first flew on December 17, 1935, and the first ones were delivered in 1936. Most of the 300–400 DC-3s in service were flying for American, Eastern, United, and TWA airlines in 1936, and it would have been highly unlikely to find one flying between Nepal to Egypt then. It also makes stopovers at Karachi (Pakistan, which was part of British-controlled India in 1936), Baghdad (Iraq) and finally arriving in Cairo. With the exception of the Baghdad-Cairo stretch (about 800 miles), all of these flight stretches (which range from 1,200 to 1,500 miles) are way too long for the DC-3's maximum range of approximately 1,000 miles. The Flying Wing was invented for the film and would never have flown — its design is completely wrong from an aerodynamic perspective. It's based on a combination of two prototypes, one German and the other American — the Horten Ho 229 (a jet-powered fighter-bomber developed for the Luftwaffe in the later stages of World War II, although they only got round to flying a glider prototype) and the propeller-driven Northrop YB-35 (which first flew in 1946).

Flat-Earth Atheist: Before leaving America, Indy expresses his disbelief in the supernatural to Marcus, notable after the fact because he told his class a few hours ago to not ignore folklore surrounding dig sites, and he immediately writes off all mysticism and faith-based info surrounding the Ark. Doubled down on after the release of Temple of Doom, in which Indy witnesses relatively conclusive evidence of supernatural religious phenomena. Possibly Justified if he's just trying to pull some Obfuscating Stupidity and not wanting word to get out in academia that the famous archaeologist Indiana Jones 100% believes in the existence of the supernatural.

"Eureka!" Moment: Indy sees all the light sources and cameras the Nazis set up exploding and realizes the Ark doesn't want to be looked upon. Perhaps making the connection to 1 Samuel 6:19. When Indy and Sallah are having a man translate the inscriptions on the Headpiece of the Staff of Ra. Sallah had earlier informed Indy that the Nazis were making an excavation at a site they believed the Ark of the Covenant might be buried, having made a duplicate headpiece (later revealed to have been based from the burns on Toht's hand from his failed attempt to recover said medallion in Nepal), with markings on one side. The translated instructions on the front spell out, among other things, the length of the staff at six kadams (72 inches according to Indy). But, there is another instruction on the back to shorten the staff by one kadam. Indy realises (after confirming with Sallah that the counterfeit headpiece only had the markings on one side) that the Nazis had apparently missed out this extra instruction, meaning:

Reasoning with God: Belloq tells Indy that the Ark is a "transmitter" and a "radio for speaking to God"; presumably his intense desire to open it before it reaches Hitler is so he can have his own personal tete-a-tete with the Almighty. He never considered the fact that God might not be so interested in hearing what's on his mind ... though he probably did get his conversation with God in the end.

Soundtrack Lullaby: After retrieving the ark from the Nazis, Indy is getting an After Action Patch Up from Marion which leads to the two starting to get amorous, the orchestra building up the Love Theme before...it trails off with a celesta as Indy's exhaustion finally catches up with him.

Pre-Violence Laughter: Marion gets Belloq drunk and they start laughing together — then she suddenly pulls a knife on him, her face turning deadly serious. Of course, since they're both completely drunk, they go right back to laughing. She doesn't actually stab him, simply wanting to escape his custody... but then Toht appears at the door.

Wins by Doing Absolutely Nothing: Indiana Jones has nothing to do with the defeat of the Nazis at the end of the movie. He and Marion just shut their eyes and the Nazis are destroyed by the sight of the power of God when they open the Ark. It is one of the most literal examples of Deus ex Machina since the middle ages, and a completely justified one.

Writers Cannot Do Math
 Raiders of the Lost Ark / int_da1c8191
comment
Writers Cannot Do Math: While translating the inscriptions on the headpiece of the Staff of Ra, the Imam initially says the staff should be "six kadam high", or "about seventy-two inches", as Indy notes. However, the Imam then says "And take back one kadam to honor the Hebrew God whose Ark this is". So, the staff has to be 5 kadam or about 60 inches (5 feet) long. Nevertheless, when Indy is seen using the staff, it's much taller than him (Harrison Ford is around 6 feet tall). If the Imam had said "add on" rather than "take back", this would make sense.

 Raiders of the Lost Ark / int_dabda72b

Only the Worthy May Pass: Finding the Well of Souls, which hides the Ark of the Covenant, requires digging in an extremely specific spot. Finding said spot requires reading the words on a medallion which must be placed atop a staff carved to the exact measurements given by the inscription; the medallion will then focus the sun's rays on the correct location on a scale model of the desert which contains the Well. The instructions themselves are also tricky: while one side of the medallion tells seekers to make a staff "six kadam high," the other side informs them to "take back one kadam to honor the Hebrew God whose Ark this is," suggesting that only someone who respects divine power is worthy of uncovering the treasure.

Contrived Coincidence: Jones just happens to have an illustrated Bible at an impromptu meeting with a couple of intelligence people, when neither party had any idea that the Ark was even going to feature in the conversation. Of all the tents at the dig site, Indy stumbles directly into the one where Marion is kept. The secret room in the Well of Souls just happens to have a loose stone in the wall that lets Indy and Marion escape back outside directly overlooking the airfield with the flying wing just before the Nazis are going to load the ark on the plane for its flight to Berlin.

No MacGuffin, No Winner: Invoked when Indy threatens to blow up the Ark of the Covenant while Belloq and the Nazis are making off with it, to get them to release Marion. Belloq calls Indy's bluff (even pulling a gun on the Germans to prevent them from shooting Indy) and Indy hesitates, leading to him being captured. The Nazis get what's coming to them real soon afterwards, though.

A Taste of Their Own Medicine: Toht nearly brands Marion with the red-hot iron. He ends up branding his own hand when grabbing the medallion while it was red-hot. On the truck the German sergeant beats Indy senseless, throws him through the windshield, and tries to run him over. Indy returns and delivers the same treatment on the guy, and he's the one who gets run over.

Historical Villain Upgrade
 Raiders of the Lost Ark / int_e16217f8
comment
Historical Villain Upgrade: The Nazis were nowhere near as interested in the occult as the film portrays. Hitler especially thought it was nonsense and insisted that National Socialism was rational and scientific, contrary to what the film claims about him. Individual Nazis who were occult fans like Heinrich Himmler and Alfred Rosenberg had zero interest in recovering Jewish artefacts like the Ark of the Covenant, but instead wanted to validate their Neo-Pagan Nordic beliefs as well as to fund expeditions to Tibet (partly due to their being interested in Asian mysticism). Even these expeditions were led by a rationalist scientist named Ernst Schaefer who was more interested in collecting animal and plant samples for study than in validating any of Himmler's pseudoscientific theories. That said, the Nazis were interested in any ancient religious artifacts that they could get their hands on, but purely for their propaganda value — as evidenced by the Holy Lance. The film is set in 1936, before World War II broke out and when Germany was still insecure in its military, yet the Germans have a secret submarine base in Greece and can freely mount archaeological expeditions in British-occupied Egypt backed by plenty of soldiers who are openly wearing German uniforms and parading the Swastika. Had anything like the events of this film actually happened at this time, the British and likely the French would probably have declared war on Germany immediately.note Notably, The Last Crusade would later address this sort of thing with a scene in which the Nazis are explicitly shown getting the Sultan of Hatay's permission to retrieve the Holy Grail from his country.

Happens by accident during the scene with the flying wing due to a series of minor mistakes. Marion unchocks the wheel of the flying wing to use the chocks as a weapon against a Mook, and the plane starts to turn in place and its wingtip punctures a fuel truck. Next, Marion uses the plane's machine gun turret to keep Nazi reinforcements at bay and stuff catches fire. The fuel pouring out of the truck eventually reaches the blaze, Indy rescues Marion and they run for cover, and then the whole airstrip explodes.

Fatal MacGuffin: During the climax, the Nazis take Jones and Marion to an area where the Ark will be opened and tie them to a post to observe. Dressed as an Israelite priest, Belloq performs a ceremonial opening of the Ark by invoking a standard Sabbath prayer, and finds it full of sand, possibly all that is left of the Ten Commandments. As Indy warns Marion to keep her eyes shut, spirits emerge from the Ark, eventually revealing themselves to be angels of death. Flames then form above the opened Ark and bolts of energy shoot through the gathered Nazi soldiers, killing them all. In the extreme heat, Dietrich's head shrivels up; all the flesh on Toht's face melts off his skull; and Belloq's head explodes. Flames then engulf and vaporize the remains of the doomed assembly, save for Jones and Marion, in a whirlwind of fire before the Ark seals itself shut.

God Himself after destroying Belloq and The Nazis, also burned the rope that tied Indy and Marion up.

Moment Killer: Indy and Marion share a Big Damn Kiss during Indy's After-Action Patch-Up — and then Indy conks out from exhaustion.

Worthless Treasure Twist: Once opened, The Ark of the Covenant seems to contain nothing but sand and to therefore be worthless to the Nazis seeking it for divine powers... until the wrath of God comes pouring out of it and utterly destroys the Nazis present.

A Truce While We Gawk: Near the end of the movie, Indy and the truck driver cease hostilities for just long enough to steer away from a home construction site, and exchange a brief chuckle before resuming the fight.

comment
Infernal Retaliation: During the fight in the burning bar, a Sherpa gets his sleeve soaked in booze and then set aflame. He still takes a couple of swings at Indy before going down. This is done for effect but is a case of Accidentally-Correct Writing: alcohol burns from fumes, not liquid, and the coat he's wearing is quite thick.

Rival Turned Evil: Belloq. It is established early on that he is not just another competitor of Indy; he wants him dead. In their first onscreen interaction, he tries to have Indy killed by the Hovitos. He is willing to put aside his differences with the Nazis because they have a common enemy in Jones.

Desperate Object Catch: Sallah grabs a date in midair, just short of Indy's mouth, when Jones casually tosses it up to eat it. A fortunate catch too, as dates from the same bowl had just poisoned the monkey to death in seconds.

Stab the Salad: When Marion is about to escape from Belloq in the desert, she runs into Toht at the entrance to the tent. She cowers by Belloq while Toht enters with some Nazi guards in tow. He pulls out a black-and-silver bar-and-chain object from his trenchcoat, and shapes it into a triangle that looks like a torture device... Then he hands it off to a guard who hangs his coat on it, revealing that it was a simple coat hanger.

 Raiders of the Lost Ark / int_f912a750
comment
Immune to Drugs: Not drugs, per se, but Marion's ability to drink seasoned heavyweights under the table comes up twice. She doesn't even come across tipsy either time. This is especially impressive the first time, when her opponent passes out and it takes her more than one trip just to move all the shot glasses she used back to the bar. Unfortunately for Marion, Belloq has the same superpower, at least where his family's eau-de-vie is concerned.

Dark and Troubled Past
 Raiders of the Lost Ark / int_fed93e1b
comment
Marion also has something of a Dark and Troubled Past with regards to the bar she runs in Nepal (which is revealed to be called "The Raven"). Rather than it being left to her by her father (as viewers of the film might reasonably assume), it's mentioned in the novel that she actually started working there in order to make ends meet after Abner died, and that she "wasn't exactly the bartender" — no more is said, but the obvious implication is that she was obliged to prostitute herself. She took over the place after the previous owner "went crazy".
