- BTW, the cobra Indy comes face to face with in the Well of Souls scene actually spit venom at Harrison Ford. However, luckily for Ford, the shot was filmed with a sheet of glass between Ford and the deadly cobra for safety, which you can actually see in older versions of the film (the reflection was digitally removed in a 2003 re-release of the film).
