Back in the early 1980s, the PG-13 movie rating had yet to be created. So, when making a film like Raiders Of The Lost Ark, director Steven Spielberg had to curb the violence and bloodshed to get a PG rating from the Motion Picture Association Of America (MPAA), including in the climatic end sequence where Belloq’s head explodes.

Now, an unearthed image from the film shows what the exploding head looked before flames were superimposed over the scene in this first installment of the Indiana Jones film franchise. Check it out here below.
