What color is the TOD bag strap after all?

Dark brown?
Brown that got wet?

Has anyone noticed that the buckle hits lower on indy's chest in TOD than in ROTLA? Perhaps the longer strap?

Also, the scenes in Raiders when Indy takes the horse, and is heading off to intercept the Nazi truck and then in the truck, his MK VII switches several times from his left to his right side.... I thought perhaps the film was backwards (like in the scene at the beginning of Raiders in South America where they are tying the donkeys to the tree, Indy's gear is ALL backwards), but his whip did not change sides on his belt while on the horse and in the truck!

OOOOPS!

the buckle is lower because he is wearing his bag against his butt most of the time instead of at his side as in raiders.

thanks for the tip on the raiders goofs coronada....i'm gonna have to watch it again to see cuz i missed that the first 3,432 times

Looks like that could be a roller...throw another theory on the pile!

The roller theory is an old one.

You're slipping again, VP. That's not like you.

Yeah I always thought it was black but most of those shots refute that, I think. Interesting that the bag hangs lower on him in ToD too. Hm!!

Good question!

Its also a totaly different bag and strap than he had in Raiders. He loses it at the end of TOD and since TOD takes place before Raiders...............

Not to mention it magically turns into a Mk VI on occasion.

ouch.....oh well, to each his own. i'll admit it does look bad in that picture. i do however like the hat in the movie in those scenes. i like the bridge hat the best.

I think that's a bit of a harsh statement. In fact, I like the ToD look as well (except in Lao Che's plane... I'll agree that it's pretty bad there).

Kind regards,

Ill agree with that, The plane was awful but everywhere else it looked fine. I think the biggest problem is that it isn't a Raiders hat.
