Stupidity: When Evie's ladder moves away from the bookcases, she can easily put her hands on the top of the bookcase and ease back against it just like she was before. It wouldn't cause the domino effect because it wouldn't have enough force if she was stabilized by her hands.

Suggested correction: She was pretty terrified, trying not to lose her balance, and calling for help. Placing her hands on the bookcase would have required her to take at least one of her hands off the ladder, and she was probably scared that she might have fallen if she did that. It's not really a stupidity when a character does or doesn't do something in a moment of fear.

Corrected entry: As Benny drags his bags of loot out of the temple, there's suddenly a bunch of camels chained up outside. O'Connell and the crew flew in on a plane, Evie and Benny came by sandstorm, so who brought the camels?
Correction: As the other correction states, this entry was already submitted and corrected. But to briefly elaborate, those are camels from the earlier expedition, which were abandoned at the city. Remember, quite a few people died, and they were forced to flee quickly, so they obviously didn't take all the camels with them. Simple as that.

Trivia: Because the white nightdress Evelyn wears during the ship attack got wet, it became transparent, and had to be digitally painted white in post production. Otherwise the film would have lost its PG-13 rating.

Different eras. The movie "The Bounty" with Mel Gibson and Anthony Hopkins features an abundance of topless native island women but retained a PG rating. It would easily receive an R rating today.
