in one scene where the mother does a flip and the fight scene are both done by stuntmen in drag.

cut out a sceen origionally filmed and used for the ending that had the dad and the kids prove the shrinking machine really worked by blowing up the ant. I remember because it was in the version I saw. Later versions had the ant killed off earlier in the movie. I asked the crew about this when we went to where it was filmed and they said they changed it to lead to the next movie.I thought I would share this with you. I actually have the origional copy here and the remake.

In one scene, Indy tells his class "Archaeology is the search for facts, nottruth. If it's truth you're looking for, Prof. Tyree's Philosophy course isright down the hall." Harrison Ford's Philosophy professor in college was aMr. Tyree.

Near the end, when confronted by two Thugees, Indy reaches for his gun to shoot them, an action he did in the streets of Cairo in "Raiders of the Lost Ark". John Williams played (briefly) the same piece of music for both sequences.

Did anyone notice the man at the Shanghai airport with the clipboard and thick English accent ("...cargo plane full of live poultry...") is actually Dan Aykroyd?

The name of the club where Short Round picks up Indy and Willie is "ClubObi Wan"; just another George Lucas reference.

Near the end of the film. When Indi threatens Beloq (Paul Freeman) to blow up the ark. If you notice when he is reasoning with Indi a fly lands on his cheek and actually goes into his mouth yet even thought the fly goes out of his mouth the editors cut it out as a joke on Paul Freeman and has gone round with him ever since

This is in the scene where Indy is dropped into the tomb with all those snakes everywhere. When he goes to get up from laying on the ground a king cobra stands and hisses at Indy, threatening him. If you look carefully you can actually see Indy's reflection in the glass between him and the cobra. Not the best lighting condition I guess, but a person definately has to be careful with snakes.

In the scene where indy falls into the snake "pit" if you look closely at is jacket you can see a reflection of the cobra off the glass that is protecting Harrison Ford.

Near the end when they're going to meet Ryan O'Neal and Drew Barrymore are in the front seat and Shelley Long is in the back seat. There's a scene where Ryan O'Neal looks at Shelley Long in the rearview mirror and then in the next scene there is no rearview mirror.
