The film engaged fans with its adventure, romance, action, humor and danger. And according to the film’s director, Steven Spielbergthe action and the danger was very real.

Spielberg recalled in Paul Honeyford’s biography of Ford:

“There are four or five very risky scenes that Terry Leonard, JR Randall and Vic Armstrong did for him. JR Randall was our stuntman and he didn’t let Harrison do any potentially fatal stunts. But Harrison did almost everything that promised merely serious injury or total disability, Harrison did; anything that promised death by fatal miscalculation, Terry, Vic and JR did.

He went on to add:

“That’s the most amazing thing about the ‘Raiders’ saga: everyone survived.”

It’s nice to know that the scenes that take your breath away in the film are all practical and were executed with great skill.

The fifth and final installment of the series, Quadrant of Destinywill hit theaters this summer on June 30.
