Still, there may be a neat, continuity-respecting cut that is possible here which could avoid this problem. One cut I could imagine maybe working is cutting from Indy saying 'the contents of that box are highly magnetised' straight to him saying 'do you want my help, or not?', omitting the line about gunpowder. But as this speech happens right in front of the camera, without the perspective changing in any way, it may have to involve morphs, or other such tricky techniques to make this cut work.

But after the revelation of metal being in gunpowder since WWI, I can finally enjoy the gunpowder sequence as it is in the theatrical cut! Well, at least know that it makes some sort of sense!

Instead of a morph, just put in a reaction shot of Spalko or a wide static shot or something. Should be easy.
