I've held my tongue on this particular topic, but felt the need to ask a very basic question. Do any of you REALLY think that when they spent $20,000,000 on the movie that they were going to worry about saving $20 or $50 or $500 between the stuntman jackets and the ones worn by the headliner, risking that the audience may not believe that that's our hero being dragged under the truck? They go to great lengths to make the 2 indecernable on 35 mm file projected on a 20 foot high screen! Sorry but THIS IS THE STUPIDEST THING I'VE EVER HEARD!

I watched The Making of Raiders last night. I'd recommend it to everyone. It really brings you into the production of the movie. You see close-ups of Ford and his stunt men (Terry Leonard, et al), and you know they are pulling their costumes out of the same wardrobe...

Sorry, but sometimes the direction of the speculation goes in some strange directions. Why is there such a need to dismiss something new, different, and better? Fear? What?

Oh, well... Fire-away!

Cheers!
