Today, on my first post, I am going to point out Elizabeth and Marion similarities.
#1-After Indy leaves the bar, Marion takes the Medallion that she has been wearing around her neck and as she is fingering it, the candle flame moves. This is like the scene in “Black Pearl” where Elizabeth is wearing the medallion and she looks at the candle flame that is moving in the draft, right before Port Royal is attacked by the Black Pearl. Both are scenes of mysterious foreboding involving a candle flame.
#2-When Marion hides in a basket in Cairo, it is akin to Elizabeth hiding in the cupboard. Both are being chased by bad guys and something gives them away. For Marion it is the monkey, for Elizabeth the rug.
This one is not a Marion/Elizabeth scene, but I just figured it out while watching “Raiders.”
#3-When Indy is about to fight the tall, black-dressed man in the market in Cairo, the man has a sword and Indy starts toward him to fight, thinks twice, and pulls out his gun and shoots him. This is similar to the Jack and Will scene in the Blacksmith shop, where they are sword fighting and Jack pulls out his gun, and Will says “You Cheated.”
