==Behind the scenes== [[File:ZIL-131.jpg|thumb|A real ZIL-131 truck]] The trucks shown in ''[[Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull]]'' were not real ZiL 131s but in fact heavily redressed American Reo M-35s. The historical ZiL-131 was mass-produced in the [[Union of Soviet Socialist Republics|Soviet Union]] and then [[Russian Federation|Russia]] from [[1965]] to [[2003]] meaning that the vehicle's appearence in the film is anachronistic.<ref name="IJatKotCS" /> As seen in the film's [[Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (DVD)|two-set disc]] featurette ''[[Pre-Production]]'', pre-visualization on the [[siafu]] attack scene shows that, as [[Irina Spalko]] and her [[Spetsnaz|remaining men]] climbed down in direction to the waterfall below, multiple hordes of siafu were going to devour the rubber wheels and even the truck tent.<ref name="P-v">''[[Pre-Production]]'', section "Pre-viz"</ref> The finished film seems to imply that after devouring [[Soviet Driver|Irina's driver]] and [[Antonin Dovchenko]], the siafu retreated back into their nest and ceased their attack, leaving the ZiL intact.<ref name="IJatKotCS" /> Although never stated, it is possible that the ZiL left at the top of the cliff was used by [[Indiana Jones]]' party to return to civilization at the end of the film. It was the only Soviet vehicle capable of being used following [[The Jungle Chase]], as the second duck and Spalko's [[GAZ 69]] were intact but dangerously right on top of the siafu nest and thus unusable, while [[Marion Ravenwood]]'s duck was destroyed by going over the waterfalls in the way to the [[Temple of Akator]].<ref name="IJatKotCS" /> This possibility would be contradicted by the ZiL's fate in the film's pre-visualization animatics, however.<ref name="P-v" />
