This film was full of stunts. Being thrown into the pit of snakes; the trucks and other vehicles crashing throughthe crowd; and the truck and jeep having a fit of road rage, with trying to run the other off the road or blow their opposer up throughout the jungle area. Even the lady holding onto and then falling against the structures as she descends to the rocky ground. OUCH!!! Is all I can say. But are these stunts for real or is their a mass amount of different shots taken with a stunt double? These don't look like the beautifully crafted real stunts of the Woo era. How many jeeps were destroyed while being sent off the ledge? The snake scene scares me a bit. Are Jones and the lady really in the company of all these snakes?
Is the fighting real? Fighting with the soldier before having his face shredded by the propellers was interesting. Actors don't actually fight anymore or did they ever? Jones sliding underthe truck and willingly being dragged by it looked real..
The stunts with the exploding lights inside the cave after the opening of the ark looked real until the spirits started to fly about. The light force striking through the actors bodies and the skin falling off the face of the dark one was edited well. Great FX!
For the most part the stunts looked very staged and choreographed. Not real like Chan in his movies. Too bad. I never really got intersted into the Raiders' series of movies. Not my kind of genre, but it was interesting to watch. Entertaining and kind of exciting!
