Have you ever noticed that Willie manages to escape from the Thuggees who surprise them spying in the temple? There was a later scene where, already in her palace room, Chattar Lal revealed himself as another member of the sect. Unnecessary footage that was finally deleted.

"I also liked the repetitive motive that I included at the end, when Willie enters the room and activates the mechanism with her back, and everything starts again."

Obviously, Harrison was already in Los Angeles and the camera was too close to Vic Armstrong.

During the scene of the trip to Pankot, Indy and Shorty are determined to show Willie that it is not so difficult to sing with a certain style. Obviously, the sequence was eliminated because it took away drama, but I must admit I'd have loved to see it in the final cut.

The crowd pleasing elephant ride to the ‘Palace of Pankot’ was filmed at the nearby Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage. It’s the largest captive herd in the world and was established in 1975 as an orphanage, nursery and captive breeding ground for wild Asian elephants.

The actual 1929 Ford 5AT Tri-Motor used in the film is currently part of the collection of Fantasy of Flight, located in Polk City, Florida.
Not its first movie: It shows up in the film Coast To Coast in 48 Hours (1929) as the aircraft flying the Clovis to Los Angeles run.

In fact, Vic Armstrong and Wendy Leech starred in one of the most spectacular stunts of the entire movie when, being in Macau with Micky Moore's Second Unit, they fell from the top floor of the building whose facade would be the Club Obi Wan.
No biggie, they said.

Kate Capshaw (Willie Scott) had to learn Anything Goes in Mandarin. "Anything Goes" is a song written by Cole Porter for his musical Anything Goes (1934). Even Frank Sinatra recorded the song for Capitol in the '50s.
Have you ever heard Porter's?

By the time ToD came around, beloved Raiders "Poet" Fedora needed a substitute, since the original mold had been lost. This hat would be a Borsalino they were producing by that time at Herbert Johnson Hat Company of Saville Row, London, a high-end hatter to the Royal family.

"Talking about Sri Lanka, we found everything we needed, all in the same place, which is ideal when you are looking for locations. And it is always easier to work in a small country: there is less bureaucracy and the government is usually more willing to help.

"George said it was going to be a very dark movie, in the same way that Empire Strikes Back is the darkest part of the Star Wars trilogy. So, along with Katz and Huyck, he came to a story about the Kali sect , with black magic, thuggees, and creepy things."
