Corrected entry: While some suspicious agents are searching an office at the University, one of them shoots a woman in the back, and she falls face down. When Indiana Jones discovers the body, she is on her back.
Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (2023)
1 corrected entry
Directed by: James Mangold
Starring: Harrison Ford, Mads Mikkelsen, Boyd Holbrook
Factual error: The four-barrelled Flak gun is shown running out of ammunition, namely a belt of rounds. This is most likely intended to be a Flak 38, which used twenty-round magazines, not belts. It had a relatively low rate of fire as the magazines had to be constantly swapped out, and two barrels were usually fired at a time. (00:16:58)
Sallah: Give 'em hell, Indiana Jones.
Trivia: This is the first movie in the Indiana Jones series not directed by Steven Spielberg, nor with a story written by George Lucas.
Question: Is it ever explained how Voller managed to survive his encounter with being hit square in the face and falling off the speeding train without a scratch? My thoughts were that he touched the spear of destiny earlier (focused on in a scene) and became immortal, but Indy said it was fake. Plus, Voller dies at the end in 217BC. He also seems to have aged little compared to Indy. Is that a plot point they dropped or forgot about or something?
Answer: It was never explained and seems impossible that anyone could survive such an impact. My own thought was the scene was deliberately exaggerated to appear as if Voller was killed in order to fool and then surprise the audience when he later turns up alive. I also thought it looked as if he hadn't aged. Voller may have been much younger than Indy, possibly as much as 25-30 years. When Voller reappears in the 1960s, he looks more like actor Mads Mikkelsen's actual age. The film should have made him look younger at the beginning. There's a lot of "suspension of disbelief" here.

Correction: If you watch closely, you will see that, for whatever reason, the killers have moved the body, dragging it a bit out of immediate sight of the doorway to the office.
