Brief Synopsis:
Indiana Jones embarks on the story you love as presented in a less intense Saturday morning kid friendly way. Same plot, less pew pew, blood splat, face melting and nightmare inducing ghosts.
Intention:
Significant other asked me to make an Indiana Jones that we could show the little explorers.

Editing Details:
The main focus of this edit was to make it into a TV-Y7 level movie. That means bringing down the intensity of the violence, toning down the horror elements at the end of the movie and adjusting a few scenes as to not present Marion so overtly as a sex symbol. This is a niché edit meant for those who don't want to show the movie to their kids in all it's Indy glory quite yet.
Cuts and Additions:
-Trimmed opening act (Forrestal dead body, Indy throwing Satipo the idol, Satipo's death, Barranca's death)
-Trimmed bar fight to remove gun deaths (removed bloody death scenes, cursing)
-Trimmed up Indy trying to find Marion (removed sword man, bloody scenes)
-Cropped scene of Belloq creeping out on Marion while she changes
-Trimmed scenes in the Well of Souls (removed cursing, creepy dead bodies scene)
-Trimmed airplane scene to remove the gore (no propeller, machine gun mow downs)
-Trimmed truck scene (blood splats, running over soldiers, driving off the cliff)
-Trimmed Ark ceremony (nightmare ghosts, face melting/exploding, dead bodies flying)

A masterful edit - technically flawless, and does exactly what it aims to do - reimagine the film as more suitable for kids.
I enjoyed it, but I think I would rather wait a few additional years and show my kid the theatrical cut in all its glory.
