Futhermore, Indy wears the bag strap UNDER his jacket, so even if he somehow managed to get it hooked over the end of the barrel, he would still just about have to take off his jacket to extricate himself.

It's stupid stuff like this that makes me dislike recent movies so much. The movie makers seem to have a pretty poor opinion of the intelligence of their audiences, and I find that to be irritatingly insulting. And sequels seem to be the worst offenders. (For a tour-de-force of holes in the plot, watch "Die Hard 2: Die Harder.") We all know that Spielberg, at least, is smart enough not to have these swiss-cheese plots, but he goes ahead and leaves these canards in the movie. Maybe he thought we'd be too dumb to notice. That's a shame, really, because with all the supernatural stuff going on in these films, suspension of disbelief is strained enough without mundanely physically impossible things going wrong for the protagonist just for a cheap shot at suspense.
