The Nazis found the amulet independently; at least that was always my interpretation. There was no indication I could find that the Nazi in Tibet followed Jones.
They show him getting on the same plane as Jones. He’s following him.

I think Jaws holds up very well, too. It is a wonderful transitional film between classic and new Hollywood shot tempo and visual style.
I know this is an easy downvote and foolish statement, but I find very few pre-90s blockbuster movies to be watchable. Spielberg's movies hold up well though. There are a few others, like When Harry Met Sally, that I also still love.

Just an aside: I was amused when someone pointed out that the plot of "Raiders" would have reached the same climatic end if Indiana Jones were completely removed from the script. I have noticed too that "This Island Earth" (if you know this old classic sci-fi film) is another such script in which the protagonist could be removed with no change in the outcome.
Sometimes I watch a movie or TV show with the TV sound turned off and a Spotify playlist playing on my speakers or headphones. This works great with old black and white movies, but also with absurd comedies or cult movies you've watched a number of times with the sound on.
Actually one of my weekend project ideas was to create a community-curated library of movies/episodes with Spotify playlists that go well with it.
For example "Un Chien Andalou" (a french silent b/w short film from 1929) goes well with Hemelbestormer - Portal to the Universe (post-metal album).
Possibly combined with some THC for an even more immersive experience.
Now let's compare to secret of the incas...
For those who don't know, Secret of the Incas (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secret_of_the_Incas) was the inspiration for Indiana Jones. It's a fantastic adventure movie, with some great dialog, and set in pre-tourism Cuzco - all in Technicolor!
Definitely worth watching, for its own merits alone.
There was also an official B&W version, but I believe that one had the standard audio tracks with dialog.
Reminds me of the fan-made "Black and Chrome" edit of Fury Road. B&W with all dialog removed, was a interesting watch! Highlights the brilliance of the choreography, even though I wouldn't suggest watching that version the first time!

Black and Chrome is an "official" version made by director George Miller himself. It does feature the standard audio tracks. https://www.theguardian.com/film/2016/nov/12/mad-max-fury-ro...
