Raiders of the Lost Ark (flaws)

when Indiana swims from the ship to the Nazi U-boat and boards the submarine before it dives, how the hell does he survive the underwater trip from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean hidden Nazi U-boat lair?
The scene shows the U-boat pull into the cave and Indiana is soaked wet as if he just hung on and held his breath for a few thousand miles.

He caught a bubble of air in his hat.

also, why isn't Hitler present at the opening of the Ark? The Nazis were looking for the Ark under Hitler's orders because Hitler wanted to consume the power within the Ark to be the most powerful man on Earth.
Why does the French Archaeologist get the honor to open the Ark?

Flaws in this thread:
The movie it sounds like you are describing is called Raiders of the Lost Ark, not Indiana Jones and the Lost Ark.

You got me. Edited.

There was a scene cut where he straps his whip to the conning tower so it will drag him along.
The sub didnt go all that deep for the trip.
They had to know what it could do before bringing it to Hitler. Plus, I don't think that dude really gave a shite about Hitler. He just wanted the Ark for himself.

I've always wondered this.
Side note: there is a podcast called James Bonding where they discuss all the James bond films and the ridiculousness of them, especially the earlier ones and how Connery's bond is a rapist. It's pretty hilarious.

The whole movie is a flaw.
Not saying it isn't good, but the entire movie is pointless.

but he was surrounded by Nazis, a couple of which are high ranking party officials, and you'd think that they would first concern themselves with Hitler rather than a French Archaeologist.
I mean, by the end of the movie they pretty much defer all leadership to the Frenchman.
Doesn't make sense.

Big Bang Theory: Indiana Jones was completely pointless in this movie.

When Indiana and Marion board the ship after taking possession of the Ark, Marion puts on a flattering dress and attempts to clean Indiana's wounds.
He lays down bitching and moaning. Marion kisses his elbow, his forehead, his eye, and then they passionately kiss on the lips.
Indiana is about to get laid.
And then he does the most absurd thing in the entire movie. His head flops sideways and he starts snoring. She tries to awaken him, but he's out.
Marion says, "You never get a break, do you Indy?"
One moment they are passionately kissing, the next he's snoring. The time from kissing to snoring is about 3 seconds.
WTF?

French dude told them they might want to check the contents before getting embarrassed in front of Hitler. Remember?

And historically, it couldn't have - that was a diesel/electric sub and could only dive deep, on batteries during combat. "Snorkel" depth was the deepest they would cruise, to allow the diesels to breathe.

Not often, but I have been that exhausted. What can I tell you, bro?

plus the next morning we see Indy getting his gun, she asks what's wrong and he says, engines have stopped, I'm gonna go check it out. We then she Marion smile and grab her slip, I think it's implied he woke up at some point and they got it on.

I know for some box sets they call it Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark, like Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Indian Jones and the movie i refuse to recognize exists because it was so bad.
But I'm a purist, It's Raiders of the Lost Ark, just like its Star Wars, not Episode IV : A New Hope

Explained in movie.
Belloq convinces nazi leader to let him open it before presenting to hitler by saying they had to make sure it was the true Ark. And they didn't know what powers it possessed, so they shouldn't risk opening it in prescience of hitler.

The part near the end where Indy is up on the cliff looking down at Belloch as they are taking the ark in a processional... Belloch is wearing all white and yelling up at Indy... A FLY FLIES RIGHT IN HIS MOUTH MID SENTENCE. Props to the actor for not even flinching.
ETA:
Heeeeeeeeeey... Here's the clip.
