Re: 1989's Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.

There is another train sequence in this movie when Indy's buddy Marcus was kidnapped by the Germans at the Iskenderun station. The day went something like this:

My alarm goes off at 3.30am in Mojacar in southern Spain. Leave at 4.30am for a 10.00am call time at a forest clearing 20 mile west of Guadix where we shoot the scene where Indy and his Dad on a motorbike/sidecar combo decide to go back to Berlin to retrieve his notebook. Wrap it up by noon and head back to Guadix and lunch. 2pm and we're on the platform for the arrival of the train with something steaming at the end of the station. Don't have time to figure exactly out what because Steven has arrived and we shoot the entire abduction scene in record time and then load up at 5.30pm and drive the 50 plus miles west to Granada for the next day's shoot, arriving at 6.30pm. On the clock for 14 hours. That's the movie business. Next day we shoot for 6 hours then its 1,000 miles back to the UK.

P.S. The most incredible sequence for me on this film was the book burning sequence at the Reichstag. When we arrived at the location, the brown shirt extras were marching and the loud speakers were broadcasting the Hitler speeches of the day.
