To be honest, I didn't notice the name thing in the 3 times I've seen KOTCS. Please note that only ONE of those three viewings were for pleasure (or a hope of pleasure) the other two were for edits. Anyway, I would say it would be pretty dumb for him to start shying away from using Indy as his name and instead going for Henry. Geez, we need to retain as much of OT as possible I say - especially the fella's damn name...

As for Ox, since we can't cut the dumbass completely, there are several things we can do to make him less TERRIBLE. Heks, take a look at the lists topdawg and I put together in regards to Ox especially. For example, the scene where we meet Ox dancing and prancing can be improved greatly, the "help" gag during the quick sand scene can work better and the sand/obelisk puzzle can be solved by Indy instead of Ox with a few simple edits. Check them out. See what you think.

I'd be happy to look at those lists again. Would you mind reminding me what page of this thread they're on?

I'm also thinking that once I finish my comprehensive list, we can all start looking at individual scenes that might be improved through subtle changes to order, performances (using bonus feature takes), effects, etc. I'm thinking, for example, of some of the changes laser made to the narrative flow of the jungle chase, like reordering where Mutt finds the sword to match up better with Spalko taking out hers. It was a subtle change but rather brilliant in my opinion.
