Is Spielberg going to re-release ET with the cops back to holding guns instead of walkie-talkies?[1] Orre-releaseIndiana Jones and the Last Crusade where the word Jewish isn't cut out. For reference, In the theatrical version of Last Crusade, where Donovan is trying to convince the Sultan of Hatay to allow him to move accross his land to recover the Grail, he brings the Sultan a a chest of gold treasures and says, "Precious valuables, Your Highness, "donated" by some of the finest Jewish families in all of Germany." But in the later video, DVD and televisions versions, the word "Jewish" is removed.[2]

Wow the word "Jewish" being present makes it way clearer that those valuables were looted.
