As I stated previously, while regrading Raiders of the Lost Ark, I realized the bar fight scene has a delibirate red shift in all of the home video releases, and broadcasts, that does not appear to have been present in the original theatrical release. The trailers for the release in 1981, and the re-release in 1983 do not have this red shift, and at least one member on this forum who saw a 35 mm print screening, noted that the red shift is not in the theatrical version of the film. As such, I had to do a separate regrading for this scene.

Here are a number of comparisons for the upcoming bar fight video sample, to be found in the Raiders regrade thread (bluray top, regrade bottom). Considering this rather substantial change to the film’s color timing has not had much attention, I guess this will be the first time, this scene can be seen with it’s original colors.
