just began working on a recut of indiana jones and the temple of doom. the primary purpose of this is to remove the overtly r rated stuff, shorten the movie and make it appropiate for kids. im working from the official bluray. also anyone know of any deleted scenes that might be usefull? any recomendations on things to cut or ad would be appreciated.

yes, i’ve wondered who they bribed to make that happen. so far theres been a lot of chopping away, waking up drunk on a plane after a wild party for a new beginning, and completely removing the dumb hypnotic trance plot, and having the sacrifice being fed to a bunch of fish, I was tempted to put the death star in the sky as a joke, but havent yet gone that far.

Watched this movie when I was a kid and I turned out fine. I don’t think that you need to remove anything to make it “appropriate” for children. In fact, as a kid, this one was my favorite of the three (a title that now belongs to Raiders).

hmm lets put it another way,

i put disk in
I think: this is a bit much, and rather dumb.
wife says: “dont ever play that when anyone else is up.”
kid’s reaction: runs and hides in her room saying “it scary”

rather than never be able to have a full trilogy i decided to do something about it

to anyone who doesnt have anything thing helpful to add—grow up, this is my movie—
