It's great to hear that Laserschwert and InfoDroid are planning fan edits. I don't think that this movie was as much of a disaster as some claim. The direction, pace and coherence of the movie were all to a high standard, much more so than the Star Wars prequels, which KOTCS is compared to (unfairly, in my opinion).

Of course there were things that didn't sit right. My biggest gripe was the handling of the Marion and Oxley characters ('squandered talent' was a phrase used by some reviewer to describe these roles, and I agree completely). And the story may have been a bit 'out there', but I maintain it was nevertheless follow-able, enjoyable, and perfectly in the vain of a sci-fi, action serial B-Movie, which is what the film is a glorified version of (and because of this, I can grudgingly forgive the two dimensional characters of Marion and Oxley; again, this is B-Movie style). And it was the vehicle for some truly imaginative and thrilling set pieces and genuinely funny Indy-humour moments, which are the key components in any Indiana Jones movie.

Plus, it felt like an Indy movie. Harrison Ford was fantastic at reprising his role, and the whole thing raced along nicely. Well, almost nicely. See, I think that the main problem with the movie was the stupid little things like over use of CG animals, to cater for the kiddies. I'm talking about the gophers and the monkeys. And the whole Mutt-getting-hit-in-the-crotch-with-bushes which, while acceptable the first time it happened, there was no need for this gag to repeat on for another few seconds.

I genuinely believe that trimming down these excesses and removing the handful of moments which have you scratching your head and which take you right out of the film, will save KOTCS. I hope, lol.
