** While traveling to Pankot Palace, Willie is disgusted by the smell of the elephant which carries her and pours the entirety of a bottle of perfume on the animal. In the film, we find a while later that, dissatisfied with being soaked with the stuff, the elephant stops in the middle of a river and, using his trunk, soaks his back as well as his passenger. This causes Willie to fall into the river, which causes [[HilarityEnsues general hilarity]]. Originally, the scene was longer. The elephant did not only react to its "freshening up", but also to Willie's voice. Forgetting the jungle's dangers, thanks to the perfume, and finding a little of its social context, Willie starts begins to loudly sing the song from the beginning of film. Moved by the melody, Indy and Short Round chime in the same way with a song of their own. The perfume and the constant noise is definitely too much for the elephant which, with a bellow, again interrupts the smell and the songs. Indy and Short Round can do nothing else than explode into laughter.
** Right after the first sacrifice Indy makes his way to the center of the Temple to grab the Sankara Stones. Having put the Stones in his pouch he spots a big stone snake on the top of the altar. Originally, Indy was shown touching the stoned snake in awe, but considering his established snake phobia, the filmmakers came up with the idea of Indy adjusting his hat in a hello manner.
** As Indy walks past the Temple's altar, to explore where the mysterious cries he hears are coming from, we see Willie and Short Round's encounter with a group of Thuggee guards. As Shorty is being captured Willie manages to flee back to the catacombs. What has been left out is the part that shows Willie's return to her room. Following the same trail that lead them to the underground Temple, Willie finds her way back to her room, there she finds Chattar Lal waiting for her only to be captured again. This little scene, besides the fact that it explains how Willie was captured, reveals for the first time Chattar Lal's allegiance to the Thuggees. When the time came to cut the film Spielberg and Kahn figured that the scene slowed the film's pace while the deletion of it didn't affect anything! Once again Marvel Comics can give a hint of what this scene was all about. Another scene of Indy feeding lies to Captain Blumburt and menacing Willie has not been verified yet.
** A Thuggee guard is whipping slave children when he is suddenly struck in the legs by lava exploding from a fissure. Short Round who was digging nearby witnessed the guard's awakening from his possessed state before the Thuggee was dragged away by other guards. This scene explained how Short Round knew what to do to bring Indy out of Kali's "black sleep." Although, of great significance to the plot, this scene was cut from the final film for unknown reasons.
** A scene was shot showing Indy and Willie helping the freed children to cross the lava pit through a makeshift bridge. When the time came for Short Round to cross the pit the bridge had caught fire under the intense heat and Indy and Willie managed to save him in the nick of time from falling in the lava pit. With the bridge crumbled the trio had to find another way out and that was through the mines. As with the above scenes, the most logical explanation for this cut seems to be the pace and not the film's running time, since it ended up at 113 minutes. Even the addition of all of the scenes mentioned on this writing would never push the film over the 120 minute barrier.
