After watching your awesome TLJ edit, could you send me a PM for this one? Thanks!
This is my second fan-edit. After having been (surprisingly) very happy with my first fan-edit (The Last Jedi Reforged) and having got some very positive feedback from it’s viewers (Thank you guys!!!), I took the decision to make a second fan edit. And again it’s a movie which left me very disappointed when I watched it for the first time:
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
The very positive thing about this movie was without any doubt Harrison Ford. Although he was over 60 years old, he was for the most part still able to represent a tough, funny and likable Indiana Jones.
Shia LaBeouf’s Mutt had it’s flaws, but in the end, I liked him too. The same applies to Karen Allen as Marion Ravenwood.
The majority of the cast did a very good job. Steven Spielberg, the director, did (like always) a good job as well, but in the end, George Lucas’ very poor story about aliens & their UFO, some very stupid ideas (Indy survives an atomic explosion in a fridge), and many other things ruined the movie for me.
So I tried to make a version of the movie that I could watch without throwing my remote control out of the window.
In the end, I’m quite happy with my version of the film. It still has some flaws, but overall I think it’s watchable (it’s still no comparison to the first three movies, so don’t expect too much).
Special thanks go to 15MaF, for the permission to use two scenes from his Indy 4 fan edit. Please take a look at his version of the film, it can be found here in the forums!
Hot Rod scene:
Warehouse:
Rocket Sled run:
Atomic explosion:
Interrogation scene:
I didn’t change any scenes at the university and train station because they worked for me.
Restaurant/Diner:
Town Chase scene:
Indy’s House:
I didn’t change any scenes at Cusco market, the asylum and the cemetery because they worked for me.
Jungle Camp:
Dry sand scene:
Jungle Chase scene:
I didn’t change the exaggerated waterfall scenes. First I wanted our heroes to fall only one time, but after watching the scene, it didn’t work for me. It always seemed as if something was missing. Even though it still seems to be a little too much, I did not change this scene.
Crystal Skull Temple:
I did many cuts and changes here, so I will only write down important ones:
Outside the Temple:
There are for sure many more little changes, but these were the significant ones!
The final runtime for the movie is 111 minutes (105 min without end credits).
1080p High Quality MKV (21,0gb)
Video: H.264 at 25-30mbps VBR
Audio: 5.1 DTS, 5.1 Dolby Digital, Stereo
Extra: Chapter markers
As german is my mother tongue I have made a german audio track in addition to the english version. It’s not included in the MKV but it can be downloaded as a separate AC3 file.
Feel free to tell me about any mistakes, I will take a look and try to improve.
The arrangement of this cover and the text is based on a cover created by Darren Harrison on Pinterest. It is available for free. I changed the whole front-side and added some information on the back-side.
If you OWN the original movie in at least HD-Quality, PM me for a link!
Important Announcement:
Because links to my films were shared again, I decided to take the films offline. Sorry guys

Watched this last night and loved it! Wasn’t sure if I was going to like all the cuts, but it works great!
Both your Last Jedi edit and this cut of Crystal Skull will be in my rotation when viewing these series again. Great job and thanks for all your work on these!

I was wondering recently after watch Mr. Plinkett’s review if a Crystal Skull fanedit could potentially salvage the film and I’d really like to see if you’ve accomplished this. Link plz?
I have very good news for anyone looking for the best possible quality!! I just bought 100 gigabytes (google drive) for one year, so I can upload the 20+gb versions of “The Last Jedi Reforged” and “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull Revitalized”.
I think the files will be online the next days. PM me if you own the original movie and want a link. The 14gb files on Mega will still be available for those who like smaller file sizes.
The increased storage space also allows me to publish more of my fan edits, so I will upload my versions of “The Lone Ranger” and “Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein” in the next few days.
As german is my mother tongue I have made a german audio track in addition to the english version of Indiana Jones 4. It’s not included in the MKV but it can be downloaded as a separate AC3 file.

wow, this sounds really cool.
Id love to check it out.
As soon as I read no aliens you had my attention xD
I would be really interested in seeing your work, may I please have the link please?
link please
I never saw your Last Jedi cut, but this one sure sounds interesting. I wouldn’t mind having a link to both.
This sounds really great. I hated the aliens in Crystal Skull and would love to see a version without them. Could you please PM me a link? Thanks in advance.
I got called away part way through, but so far, I really love the improvements. Every time I was ready to grit my teeth at something, I found you already fixed it.
I did think that the crate should have had the ‘Roswell, NM 1947’ removed. It’s a real in your face alien reference.
I do wish there was something that could be done with that whole scene with the magnetism at the warehouse. It just always seems randomly handled. Sometimes the crate is EXTREMELY magnetic, attracting metal objects from an insane distance. Other times it’s lightly attractive or not at all to objects near by.
I suppose since the crystal skull found later attracts gold, I guess we can excuse the randomness of it.
Still, it just feels like it was filmed wrong.

I know what you mean, there are many scenes that could not be fixed. Thats why the film will never have the quality of the first three.

Finished watching tonight. A really impressive edit and a near watchable version of the movie. It does prove that what the film really needed was extensive reshoots.
I was always fine with Mutt’s fencing skill. It was mentioned early on that he was good at it and to believe Indy’s son might be able to handle himself in a fight is not hard to accept. Editing that bit out made the jungle chase a bit to choppy (and the only time I the movie felt fan-edity).
I would have preferred to see the piranha ants (or whatever they’re supposed to be) edited out. And maybe the people living in the temple walls with seals over top of them like they were embedded there by the people who built the place.
Otherwise, your effort is really good. It’s technically pristine and the movie is much improved.
Thanks for the hard work. I’m now going to read up on your other edits.
