Laser, I was just watching your edit of the jungle chase and I have one other, minor suggestion. Is it at all possible to trim the duration between Mutt coming up to the front of the truck and then asking 'so, what's he gonna do next?' - there seems to be a strange lull in the momentum here, what with his pause/strange look before he asks that question. If his pause was trimmed, so that he quickly asks 'so, what's he gonna do next' almost immediately after he comes up to the front of the truck, it may seem less clumsy and more natural/convey a sense of excitement from Mutt, and get the action started sooner.
I initially thought that this pause signalled a dawning appreciation of Indy on Mutt's part, but he immediately responds 'don't call me son!' when Indy emerges a second later with the rocket launcher, and continues to remain sarcastic and aloof to Indy ('what are you looking at daddio?') throughout the majority of the rest of the chase (and we can really only identify Mutt's full acceptance of Indy as his father at the end of the film, anyway). So, we would really lose nothing by removing his pause, and may gain slightly better pacing in doing so.
