Cyclades,

All excellent points and I couldn't agree more. The job of every story is to think of everything to the point that the audience is never left wanting missed opportunities. A film like Raiders is air tight. KOTCS is just a gaping hole that all the extra sidekicks and CGI just couldn't fill.

If there was a way to cut OX it would help take away some of the goofiness . Hell, we have a shot of ol Mutty Mutts crying in the camp, all we need is a way to off the old dancing loon.

Too many chefs in the kitchen on this one. LC worked alright because they kept the crew seperated for the most part.

Seeing Indy narrowly escape a trap is cool. Seeing him barely get Marion through is cool. Seeing a conga line of six people make it through makes you wonder if that trap was deadly at all.

But I realize such a change as killing off Ox would be HUGE and difficult. And I think the changes that we've proposed so far especially that first likst would do wonders for this film.

Just a shame we have to do anything at all.
