Nice ideas jones1899, and good edit jedi. The mutt vs. irina duel was fantastic and flawlessly edited. The entire removal of the monkey scene was also handled well (when it cuts to the in-the-trees-looking-down-at-jeeps-going-by perspective, it'd be good to eliminate the monkey sound effects which play here). Would have liked to have seen Mutt's 'wow' after he jumps into Indy's jeep retained, as it felt weird for Indy to suddenly say 'wow' like that. It would also make the joke at this part work ('wow...wow...WOW!'). Also, Indy's removed line of 'find something to fight with' felt a bit jarring.

Interesting take on the waterfalls, but I think I'd still rather the '3 times it drops' dialogue kept, and the 3 waterfalls edited together, so it seems as though the drops are immediately after the other/in very close proximity of each other.

But top stuff!

Also, on the topic of the DVD menu for the edit, would it be a good idea to create a menu in the vain of the DVD menus from the original Indy trilogy DVD boxet (the first one released)? Again to tie this film to the original three movies and make the series more stream lined. A rough idea of what I have in mind can be found here:
