) I was looking at Indy's hat during the opening shot of them trekking through the jungle, when I saw this:
Huh?
Now, we all know the Indy fedora had a center crease, not a teardrop crown (to the point where that's the biggest problem with Dorfman Pacific, except for those god-awful pins). But there it is in the opening shot of Raiders: a teardrop crown. I shrugged my shoulders and went back to watching. A few seconds later...
...and the teardrop crown had disappeared.
Then:
I'm not positive, but it looks like it's back again in that picture (literally just one shot later). It's hard to say, as that particular shot doesn't offer any good opportunities for a screenshot, but it looks like it *might* be back again.
Finally, by the time Indy's scampering up the hill to the temple entrance, the teardrop crown is gone for good:
Now, as is commonly known, the Hawaii sequences (not counting the temple interior scenes) were shot last, and by that point a stuntman had walked off with the hat Ford had been wearing for the entirety of the film. The hat worn during the Hawaii shots was a different hat, and it appears whoever was in charge of costuming for this unit hadn't spent a lot of time hanging out around Nadoolman. It seems like the hat went through re-shaping once or twice during the shoot? What does the Indygear brain trust think of all this?

) reminds me of another question I've had but have ever asked. I don't mean to derail this topic, so please let me know if there's another topic where this has been discussed: In Raiders, in the scenes in which Indy appears, what percentage of the shots are actually the actor Harrison Ford and what percentage are stunt men or stand-ins? My understanding is that most of the Hawaii/Peru shots, other than the close-ups, were done with stunt actors. Has anyone ever counted the Ford shots relative to the stand-in shots?
