Raiders of the Lost Ark: It’s In His Jeans

Most viewers don’t watch the extras in the background of a movie. The fact of the matter is that these background characters help to paint the picture and set the tone for the movie. However, in the first movie in the Indiana Jones series, one extra seems to have forgotten which picture they were painting. If you look behind Indiana Jones in this scene you will notice a man standing in a pair of jeans. He might be perfect for a scene set in 1981, the year in which this film was released, but for 1936 he stands out like a sore thumb.
