Trivia:

Paramount Pictures logo. See also (_Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom_,
and _Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade_)
- Tom Selleck originally cast as Indiana Jones.
- Frank Marshall (the film's producer) played the airline pilot. [?????]
- Fred Sorenson (Jock, the airline pilot) flew the producer of _Jurassic Park_
(directed by Stephen Spielberg) off Kauai just before the hurricane hit.
- Jock's airplane at the beginning has the registration number "OB-3PO",
refering to Obi-wan and C-3PO from _Star Wars_.
- Script originally included a long fight between a swordsman and Indiana with
his whip. Actor Harrison Ford was suffering diarrhea at the time, and asked
"Why don't I just shoot him?", so they did this instead.
- The truck that didn't have Marion in it was flipped over by firing a section
of a telephone pole through the floorboards.
- The hieroglyphics in the map room include engravings of R2-D2 and C-3PO (from
_Star Wars_, etc), however they do not appear on film.
