Movie Trivia/Goofs

Movie Goof (continuity error): (At 15:25) When Indy speaks to the government men in the lecture hall, the chalkboard behind them tilts back, then forward, then back.
The well-known line "Indy, they're digging in the wrong place!" is in fact a misquote. The true line is simply "They're digging in the wrong place," and is spoken by both Sallah (John Rhys-Davies) and Indiana (Harrison Ford).
Movie Goof (continuity error): The students in Indy's lecture hall change positions in various shots. The student with the apple, seen coming down the far aisle when the lecture ends, is clearly sitting in the middle of the front row earlier in the scene. The girl who has written on her eyelids is in the middle of the room when Indy first sees her but in the row by the windows later.
The original name of the lead character in the script was Indiana Smith. His name was changed to Jones on the first day of production.
