I love KOTCS. I believe it is a good film. However, as with EVERY film, and every film in the Indy series, it has flaws. My question is, do we know for certain who was responsible for those flaws? The Nuclear Fridge scene has been confirmed as something Spielberg wanted in a film as early as the early 1980s, and we know Lucas wanted the aliens/interdimensional beings..But what about?:
1) The prairie dogs?
2) Mutt swinging on the vines/the whole monkey scene?
3) Mutt being hit in the crotch?
Whose ideas were those? Do we have any idea about who specifically wanted those in? Given the Raiders story conference (wherein Spielberg wants Indy to use the whip to pull some guy's pants down or grab himself a beer), I'd wager #3 was his idea. I can imagine 2 being Lucas'.
What about you guys? What do you think? What do we know?
