Marion, your edit of the ending to the cemetery scene is flawless - really excellent! That's always how I imagined an edit of that small scene would be like. And it really grit-ifies Indy as well! Amazing!

Yeah, Laser's idea is also a good one - about having the shot off screen, and then seeing Indy raise the smoking gun in front of the camera. I'd be for that as well, but really, after seeing Marion's take of this, I think it's perfect as is. The nozzle-flash and bullet-impact-flash are spot on, and really well timed with the reaction of the crypt guard. Plus, with the bullet-impact-flash, it's still clear that Indy meant to miss, and that the shot was intended as a warning.

With the fridge scene, an idea that I had was cutting straight to the front of the Russians' car being englufed by the shock-wave straight after we see the shock-wave race after the car (which is the opening of Marion's latest mp4 file of the scene). That way, all scenes of the flying fridges are cut, and we can then go straight to the fridge landing/coming to rest (still think the bounces might be able to be trimmed a bit) and Indy rolling out. I agree with adding a delay to Indy coming out of the fridge, but maybe not as long a delay as the one that featured in Marion's latest mp4 file.

But top stuff!
