What's with the obsession with Gunga Din? Certainly, it's a great movie, but why have this movie compliment that one? I think it already does to some extent, but it just seems unnecessary.
If you've done some research about it, it was one of the films which heavily influenced and inspired Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. Don't believe me? Buy or borrow The Complete Making of Indiana Jones book. I bought the Oversize/Coffee Table book and it's a great read.
Yes, I know all about the Gunga Din/Temple of Doom connection and do own that book as well. The similarities are quite obvious to anyone who's seen both films, but I just don't see the need to edit Temple of Doom to fit more with Gunga Din. They're movies that work quite well played back to back as it is. No need to have Indiana Jones revealed to be the grandson of one of the guys from Gunga Din or anything like that. And, yes, I am exaggerating. :)
