Speaking of Raiders bloopers, I've searched dozens of bloopers sites, but none of them mentioned a blooper that I first noticed when I was ten (at least I think it's a blooper). It concerns the Staff of Ra. When the old man translates the medallion, he says:
Old man: ...this means six kaddam (sp?) height.
Sallah: About seventy-two inches.
So since 6 kaddam=72 in., then I believe we can safely assume that 6 kaddam=6 ft. With me so far?
Next the old man says:
Old man: 'And take back one kaddam to honor the Hebrew god whose Ark this is.'
So that would mean that 5 kaddam would be about 5 feet, correct?
Well, when Indy finally has the staff, it towers AT LEAST a foot above his head. So either the entire cast of the movie is comprised of midgets, or something isn't right here.
Yeah, I know it's real technical, but amusing nonetheless, especially to a movie freak such as myself.
