* CreatorBreakdown: The film was produced while Lucas was going through a divorce, as well as Steven Spielberg's then-current breakup with Amy Irving, hence the scene where a sacrificial victim gets his heart ripped out and set ablaze. Lucas has admitted that this may be why the film was made so much DarkerAndEdgier than its predecessor. It may also explain why Willie is an annoying collection of sexist stereotypes as opposed to the somewhat better female characters in the other films.

** The predictable reaction to the racist characterizations in this movie (more pronounced in this film than the others) stands as a hard lesson learned by Spielberg; a lesson he took to heart in 2011 when he adapted ''{{Tintin}}'', which itself has similarly come under fire for racist depictions.

** It probably could be one explanation for the "Shiva is good, Kali is evil" dynamic of Mola Ram's cult. Shiva & Kali are a couple and the masculine & feminine halves of Deity. It's like Shiva & Kali got a divorce. However, this is clearly a heresy on Mola Ram's part rather than Spielberg & Luca's beliefs or the beliefs of Hinduism.

* At the end, when the British Indian Army Riflemen fire at the Thuggees, because they are using blanks, which have no recoil, one rifleman is short-stroking his rifle. He is only drawing back the bolt 3/4 of the way before the brass breaks loose from the extractor claw, then tries to load a fresh round before he has expended the spent brass. This causes both rounds to jam in the chamber, and takes him several seconds to clear it by pulling back hard on the bolt.
