Lol, I think we've found the film's new name - Indiana Jones and the Big Bang. Captures the film perfectly ;)

Neat editing again Laser - I think the perfect edit of this sequence is within reach!

I was just wondering, would it be possible to give a little more time to Spalko's closeup? It seemed to last longer in the last edit you did, and feel more fluid. Also, when they go over the second fall, how would it be to cut the shot of the jeep-actually-emerging from the water completely, and instead cut straight to the shot where the jeep is floating on top of the water and the gang are climbing back into it? The cut from the-jeep-actually-emerging to the-gang-climbing-back-into-the-jeep felt like a big jump.

I also wondered if Indy's 'put it in reverse, put it in reverse!' dialogue could be used in the edit - maybe place it over the birds-eye perspective shot of the jeep about to go over the last fall, or else over the behind-the-jeep perspective shot when they are at the edge of the last fall? The behind-the-jeep perspective shot may be the best choice, as we are physically closer to the jeep here. The line always made me grin, and felt like classic Indy humour; it'd be a shame to cut it out completely.

Some editing chops man - if people who hadn't seen KOTCS saw your edit first, they'd be none the wiser that that infernal elastic-tree-limb ever existed!
