Hi:

This is before the days of consumer video, and film wasn't meant to stand up to scrutiny like this. People generally saw a movie once in a theatre, and that was it...if it was good, you'd see it few/quite a few times. Only a handful of classics would be re-released on anniversary's etc.

There isn't one shot in Raiders of a stuntman that lasts longer than 7 or 8 seconds I'd wager. Now we can pause those seconds, and of course we can see irregularities. See, video has made moviewatchers cynical and judgemental, where they ordinarily wouldn't care.

Cheers,
Sean
