: I was just looking at a still of Indy kicking an Arab in the marketplace (and I think we all know how painful that can be)...
: Anyway, it appears Indy's bag strap has two buckles; one in front and one in back. I never noticed this before, but I've also never seen a

: Anybody have any insight into this very crucial question?

I made this one as well....the bag has only one buckle, but the scene was apparently shot over a period of time, and Ford put it on wrong a couple of time, reversing the bag with the flap toward his body instead of away, making the buckle appear on his chest in one shot, then on his back the very next. It was a continunity error, and there is only one buckle on the strap. Like I said, I fell into the same "trap" a few years ago. Regards. Michaelson
