Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny

Plot hole: At the start of the film, a young Jürgen Voller gets hit square in the face, at high speed, by trackside equipment and gets knocked off the train. But somehow, he isn't killed and survives without so much as a scar on his face.

Plot hole: In Archimedes' tomb, Teddy hides on top of a statue. Helena sees him and keeps eye contact for several seconds, but none of the Nazis notice it (the Nazi with the fedora is looking in exactly the same direction as Helena and Indy, to give an example). (01:53:34)

Big Game

Plot hole: When Indy is in the Nazi plane with Voller, Klaber, and Gunther, he speaks to Voller, calling him by his real full name, Jürgen Voller, although he has never heard it. Indy only knows Voller as Professor Schmidt, from Alabama University.

Answer: He was an American Neo-Nazi.

But his surname sounds German. It might suggest that he is an American Neo-Nazi of German descent.

Yes, of German origin. "American" is not a race or ethnicity, is made up of many cultures, and is only a nationality. Klaber is an American citizen likely with German ancestry. American Neo-Nazis are of many different racial backgrounds. They adopt Nazi ideologies.

German is also a nationality, not a race. To be clear.

German is a nationality, referring to citizens of the country of Germany, and also an ethnicity, traditionally characterized by certain genetic traits, certain facial features, light-coloured eyes, blond hair, etc. "American" is only a designation of citizenship, not any particular racial or ethnic makeup.

raywest

That's not true. People with those genetic traits (like me) are not "German" or "Germanic." Maybe Aryan or Caucasian. Those are ethnicities. Not German. Germans are only distinguished by their use of the Germanic language, not their appearance. Also, certain Germanic tribes were very far from blond and light-colored eyes.
