I get embarrased for the editors of these films sometimes. Inconsistencies in scenes or costumes is a direct reflection on their ability, in my opinion.

Notice in TOD, when approaching the palace and turning the corner to go up that long ramp, Indy's bag and whip are on the wrong side. Did the film get flipped, because approaching from this angle looked better?

What about the fact that you can see an airplane overhead during one of the rope bridge scenes? Was that supposed to be there?

How about in LC when Indy snags his dad's leg on the tank with the whip? Anybody who owns a whip knows that to wrap around an object, it can't be directly against something else.

Of course, it's just a movie! They still are great fun to watch.
