Well, to be honest I can't see any other difference than the colour here... And a different Alden logo in the inside.
EDIT: See below a tongue lining difference!

I really like these boots. They do look Raiders to me. But I dunno, I'm not convinced it was the original colour of the boots back then. If it was, then how would we see reddish Alden's in the in-truck close-up if they didn't actually exist back then?
It seems more likely to me that they "browned-up" some reddish boots for the bulk of the movie, rather than "redded-up" some brown boots for the in-truck close-up.

That's interesting. Do we know for sure this is what happened? If so, I wonder why they did that. Were the close-ups an afterthought? Surely it would have been easier to film them on location when the truck was to hand. I'm sure it wouldn't have taken long.agent5 wrote:The Aldens in the close-up in the truck were shot at ILM in California and weren't even Fords feet.

It probably happened during editing. They found they needed an insert scene to transition between shots. The scene on the Washington steps with Indy and Marion was the same thing. Wasn't originally in the script. Someone asked what happened to Marion and they wrote a scene and filmed it at the SF mayors office building. Lucas did the same thing during the SW prequels. He often would edit the film and film inserts and make changes as he went along.

Glad you like them!
Please understand that I don't want to explain every single detail that months and months of research - both from my side but certainly as well from Alden - that has enabled us to re-create the hero boots from Raiders, even in areas that you don't see.
I'm not sure if they're the same in ToD (pretty sure they were different in LC) though.
Regards,
Marc

The insert shots for the truck chase were filmed at ILM. I can't recall exactly which one, but it was in one of my behind-the-scenes books/magazines. Even the shot of "Indy" afixxing his whip under the truck was filmed at ILM. You can even see a bluescreen backround in that clip which only lasts 1-2 seconds.

we have NH's Hero TOD Aldens who definitely show the more redder colour.

I think the whole picture is flipped. The bows on the wrong side of the fedora, as is the mkvii.Indiana MarkVII wrote:I'm sure that I'm not the only to notice in that photo of Marion and Indy, that Indy's holster is on his LEFT side.
Agent 5: Do you, or does anyone else, have an explanation for this oddity?
