Many fans have expresses thoughts regarding Jones and friends' choice to go back into the mines instead of leaving through Pankot Palace with the rest of the escaped captives. An explanatory scene was shot showing Indy and Willie helping the freed children cross the lava pit over a makeshift bridge. When the time comes for Short Round to cross the pit, the bridge has caught fire under the intense heat, and Indy and Willie manage to save him in the nick of time from falling in the lava pit. With the bridge crumbled, the trio has to find another way out, and that is through the mines. The most logical explanation for this cut seems to be the pace, and not the film's running time, since it ended up at one hour and fifty-three minutes. Even the addition of all of the scenes mentioned in this writing would not push the film over the two hour barrier.
