What's objectionable about that?

Until a drunken viewing last night, I hadn't seen Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade in quite a while. Guess what? It's still really great-- a big ol' blast of Ritalin-free silliness.
The point of this story is: after doing a little post-viewing reading on the film, I found this factoid:

"Chris Columbus wrote a rejected draft in which Indy traveled to Africa and dueled a Monkey prince, but the script was also rejected because of too many negative African stereotypes."

Oh Chirs. First that whole unfortunate, roundabout involvement with the Groonies debacle and now this? Chris, you would sully Indy's pristine legacy of racial and cultural sensitivity? How dare you?

UPDATE: I found Mr. Columbus' script. Go here to download Indiana Jones and The Monkey King (aka Indiana Jones and the Garden of Life). Haven't even looked at it, so I can't vouch for its authenticity. But with a title like that, it sure sounds promising.
