Raiders of the Lost Ark Scene 3 Summary

Escape from the Jungle

  • There's a welcoming party of angry natives waiting for Indy, led by his old enemy, French archaeologist Rene Belloq (Paul Freeman).
  • Belloq does some gloating, then shows the idol to the headhunters, who think he's going to give it back to them. They kneel in supplication…
  • …at which time, Indy goes running for the hills. The headhunters chase him, while Belloq does some bonus gloating just because he's a jerk.
  • Indy flees through the jungle, yelling at his trusty pilot Jock (Fred Sorenson) to start the plane.
  • Jock does, indeed, start the plane, just in time for Indy to execute a vine-fed belly flop and swim his way to the spare seat.
  • They take off as the headhunters' spears go clattering against the plane.
  • Indy's surprised to see a large snake in his seat. Jock admonishes him to stop being such a nancy boy. (We suspect that this is ironic.)
