Indy tells Mola Ram that he's betrayed Shiva after claiming the Stones for himself, and then the Stones promptly burn his flesh. Why then and there? Why not previously? What with him being the leader of a brutal cult that's twisted the valid worship of a God into something monstrous, it kind of seems like Mola Ram betrayed Shiva ''way'' before that.

*** Indy ''has'' just come out of a prolonged period of drug-induced brainwashing at that point. He might be more susceptible to suggestion and inclined to believe the illusion at that point.

It's not too unreasonable to assume that the children were able to find another route out of the palace, avoiding the traps.

** I always thought it was because Willie wasn't a sacrifice; she was being killed for expediency. Chattar Lal says to Indy, "Your friend has seen, and she has heard. Now she will not talk." So, they're putting her in the pit to keep her from telling anyone about what she saw - and they won't even need to hide the body, the lava gets rid of all the evidence.

Just adding a new question
* Can someone please explain why, during the mine cart chase, Indy knocks down a hanging lantern and the camera even cuts away from the action to show a shot of the lantern falling to the ground and breaking while the flame from it flickers? This lantern is never shown again, nor is its presence and/or the focus on it explained. In a movie with very deliberate shots and expert cinematography/editing, this has always stood out to me ever since I was a teenager. The best I can figure is it's some vague allusion to the impending danger of WATER -- i.e., a fake-out of sorts, as the shot gives the impression that the fire might spread.

** I've always thought that Indy's skepticism of magic and the occult is a facade, something he adopts so that people won't think him a flake. (He does the same thing early in Last Crusade, which takes place after both Raiders and Temple.) Secretly he knows better, but he thinks it safer to pretend otherwise. Besides, just because one supernatural thing turns out to be true doesn't mean every such claim is valid.
