Indiana Jones and The Kingdom of The Crystal Skull: The Race With The Devil Cut

I’m rating the edit more than the source - I normally don’t care for alien movies. This version was paced much better than the theatrical version. I remember tuning out of the jungle chase sequence - the edit made it very enjoyable. Also the Peruvian Indian fight with all the silly flipping was cut - thank god. Overall it matched the structure of the original 3 much better

Hi I really enjoyed the edit and thought it was great you did a great job, the theatrical version was okay but this is even better ,this is what it should have been,I love how you got rid of the silly scenes and made it more in tune with the first three films and I also loved the beginning,I also loved how you made mac a more serious sidekick and not comic relief like in the original film ,I also liked mutt not being their son it makes Indy a more responsible person and removes one of the most silliest scenes with them arguing in the mud ,you did a great job with it and it's one of my favorite fan edits!

I still remember going to see Kingdom of the Crystal Skull back in the theaters in 2008. My girlfriend at the time had never seen an Indy movie so we watched the first three in anticipation. The day finally arrived and we went to the theater. During the show, I was incredibly let down and honestly embarrassed that I made my gf watch the others. She tried to fake liking it for my sake because she knew how excited I was to see it. That was the only time I saw the movie all the way through.

Fast forward 15 years and we now have The Race with the Devil Cut. Finally, I can say that Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is a good movie and I truly enjoy it. This edit makes the film feel like it actually belongs in the same series as the previous three Indy films. The edits are seamless and all of the nonsense the original version of the film came with are now either gone completely or better edited.

I highly highly recommend this edit. DonkeyKonga did a tremendous job!

The only time I’ve watched Crystal Skull was at the cinema - I thought it was *okay* but fairly disappointing compared to the originals, like they decided to go for Temple of Doom over-the-top silliness instead of emulating the better movies.

Watching this fanedit was a revelation - it’s like a *proper* Indy film now :) All the bits that creased my forehead in the cinema have now been seamlessly excised and the film feels very much more like the originals now. I’ve bought the disk to slide in next to my trilogy set, but it will be there just for show - this is the version I’ll be watching in the future!

In conjunction with lapis molari’s “Willie Scott” edit of Temple of Doom, this will be my preferred way of watching the Indy films.

I watched the fan edit on my Quest 2 VR headset via the Skybox app, which lets me watch films on a (virtual) full-sized cinema screen. The edit looked superb on the big screen and I couldn’t “see the joins” as it where - the film flowed well from start to finish.

Excellent work by DonkeyKonga - many thanks for your edit!

This is 100% the right way to watch this movie! EDIT: Forget everything I said about the nuke and whatnot, DonkeyKonga specifically created a no-nuke edit and it is fantastic! They literally edited physical mouth-movement out of scenes to make the nuke removal work, and I never would have noticed if they hadn't specifically mentioned it. All the other edits are tighter, the story is more fun, and the movie is back on my list of "Indiana Jones films that I'll show my kids one day"!

Great, great work, and this is a 10/10 edit for me now.
Highly recommended, and DonkeyKonga Forever!
