INDIANA JONES SNIPPETS: George Lucas Suffered With Sea Sickness On The Set Of Raiders of the Lost Ark

George Lucas Feeling Unwell On The Set Of Raiders Of The Lost Ark

George Lucas And His Sea Sickness

On the fourth day of shooting for Raiders of the Lost Ark, cast and crew headed out to sea for what looked like a calm day, just like the day before. Filming was on the Bantu Wind from June 23rd to the 27th, 1980. Unfortunately, the conditions soon became rough. The teams were divided into small boats, The Aiglon II was Spielberg's boat, Venus des Lles were the crews. Safety boats, tugboats, and a dory were all used. What is a dory boat? A dory is a small, shallow-draft boat around five metres in length. George Lucas was on the dory.

The dory was actually damaged during the day as the weather worsened and a large swell caused it to run into another boat. Several people became ill including George Lucas. He wasn't alone though as executive producer, Howard Kazanjian also came down with sea sickness. So much that he spent two days in his hotel room.

George Lucas must have been relieved that the next location was to be on more solid ground as on the Friday he headed to Paris and would be in England by the Sunday for shooting at Elstree Studios on the Monday.

The Famous Indiana Jones Fly In Belloq's Mouth Scene. Did It Really Happen? I've always wondered if Paul Freeman unintentionally consumed a fly in this scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark ? It's the scene where Indiana Jones shouts down to Bellosh...I mean Belloq and threatens to blow up the ark. Did a fly go in his mouth? I remember watching this scene back in the early eighties and my ten year old mind thought he definitely had a snack while filming. I recall talking about 'flygate' in my school playground at the time and the general consensus with my friends was that Freeman definitely had a sneaky snack. Paul Freeman talks about the famous 'fly' scene in an interview with TheIndyExperience.com and settled 'flygate:' This is a bit of a dicey question so don’t get too upset. (Laughs) A movie’s always got bloopers in it, some have a lot, and some only have three or four. And the most remarkable blooper was right before the opening of th

Why Is There A Strange Cut In The 1982 Horror Classic, Poltergeist? If you're a fan of the 1982 Horror classic, Poltergeist then you will be very familiar with that "weird" cut in the movie. It's 32 minutes and 47 seconds in to the movie and the scene is where Diane is explaining the strange phenomenon that is happening in the kitchen. First, she shows to Steve a chair scraping across the floor all on its own then she does the same with Carol Anne. Steve leans up against the kitchen wall and is completely shocked at what just happened. It's at this point Diane starts to explain the sensation of being pulled and then...A very abrupt cut. One moment we are listening to Diane and suddenly it cuts to Diane and Steve at their next door neighbours door. Why the sudden cut? It's on the VHS, DVD, Blu-Ray and even the streaming versions.
