: In the beginning of the Temple of Doom script they were actually going to make Indy smoke a cigarette! Oh, how glad I am that they changed that in the movie. It just would've ruined the way I see Indy now, that's all. I respect him too much, and for him to smoke would have been devastating to me.
Hey. Really? You'd view Indy differently if he'd smoked? I don't think I would; the typical B-Movie adventurer he was based on dabbled in all the vices; smoking, drinking, fast women. Of course, Indy admitted hating fast women in Last Crusade.... But seriously, throughout that whole scene in the Club Obi Wan, I was dying for a cigarette. With Indy in his white tux and all, I'm surprised George Lucas was able to resist the temptation of having Indy light a cigarette. But that's just my two cents.
