I remember seeing this in a “making of” doc about Raiders…apparently Harrison/Indy’s fedora kept flying off during the chase scenes, and multiple solutions for keeping it on weren’t working. In a moment of mischief Ford borrowed a PA’s staplegun, surreptitiously emptied it, then walked up to a frustrated Spielberg and did this. I’m glad they caught it on camera.
I might be wrong, but didn’t Mr. Ford once say that “whoever came up with the thought that Indiana Jones should always wear a leather jacket and a fedora should be shot”?
Sounds likely…it must’ve been murder in that getup, while on location.
Every time I see a costume that looks like a heatstroke-inducing device, I can’t help but think of the poor actors and extras in David Lynch’s Dune, standing in the desert, glaring sun, wearing full-body black rubber “stillsuits”.
Wasn’t it Michelle Pfeiffer who passed out due to either being too hot or dehidration (as a consequence of sweating from being too hot) on account of her vinyl Catwoman costume in Batman Returns?
