Continuity mistake: While on the boat, Helena does her 7 spades card trick. When she gives Indy a turn, you can see the bottom card is a black 2. When she fans them out, it changes to black king of clubs. Then, in the next shot, it changes to 8 of clubs. (01:16:00 - 01:17:00)

Suggested correction: Not necessarily a mistake. She could be changing those cards by sleight of hand, while moving the 7 of spades into position for the final force. The mistake was not using the 3 of clubs for it.

Mistake is correct. The change happens immediately; it's not part of the magic trick.

Continuity mistake: When David arrives to save Caroline who's hanging off the broken bridge railing, in the wide angles her feet are dangling and her arms are stretched, while she is struggling for her life. However when David looks at her, her arms and legs are bent and she seems to be safely sitting. Seemingly some sort of safety chair.

Avalanche mistake picture

Continuity mistake: The editing of the ski jumping competition is a disaster movie in itself: first we see #35 jumping and wearing a helmet while wearing a red and blue suit. Then comes #6, who starts to ski wearing a helmet and a marine blue suit, but when he jumps it's skier #35 again but now his helmet is gone. Now comes a new skier, #26, wearing a dark blue suit. When he picks up speed he is suddenly no-helmet #35 and -drumroll - when he jumps he's now yet a new skier, #27.
