Tunisia’s weather proved to be too much for Spielberg and the rest of the cast that he managed to compress an estimated six-week shoot into four and a half much to the relief of the overheated crew and cast. When filming in Tunisia, all the cast including Ford got sick of the food with the exception of Spielberg who relied totally on his box after box of Spaghetti-O’. The giant boulder’s sound was from a Honda Civic rolling downhill. The sound of the heavy Ark Lid opening was the sound of a cistern lid doing the same. The punching sounds were actually leather jackets which were hit by a baseball bat. Did you see the hieroglyphics in the Well of Souls, find the engravings of R2-D2 and C-3PO on the walls, the head of R2 is also on top of the pole Indy and Marion were tied to near the end of the film.
