One of the many roads not taken by the Indiana Jones series.
I’m sure there were more than a few filmgoers who look at Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny and wonder: “Why? What good can come of dragging a series like this back from the grave when it was so good as it was?” The same sentiment was abundant when Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull came out too. I’m inclined to feel this way about any movie series that’s advanced beyond a trilogy – and I like Crystal Skull.
Whether Lucas thought such a character might make a good comic foil for Indy is unclear; other than a brief mention that he considered including the Monkey King in the second movie, Lucas hasn’t shared details of what was on his mind for the character at that stage.
In this draft, Columbus worked around the Poltergeist issue by confining the haunted castle to the opening of the story. In the vein of the golden idol of Raiders or Club Obi Wan in Temple of Doom, Indy is wrapping up one adventure, or in this case, a vacation in the Highlands spoiled by a ghost, before heading to the main story. Instead of bringing home an artifact, Indy returns to his university empty-handed.
It’s in the character of Betsy where the Monkey King script’s nature as a first draft becomes evident. I can’t say she’s without merit in concept. A brash New Yorker would have been a fresh personality type to throw into the series. And with Raiders having established that students go ga-ga for their archeology professor, a youngster in the throes of puppy love could have been funny and even sweet, had the dynamic been handled right.
The Nazis track Indy and friends through mechanical bugs, eventually making off with Tyki and his limited knowledge of the Monkey King’s whereabouts. The rescue efforts include a boat chase and tank fight not unlike what would end up in The Last Crusade, along with a sword fight above decks on the pirate ship. Eventually, good guys and bad reach the lost city and fight it out alongside native tribes and sentient gorillas. The Nazis are defeated, but Indy takes a mortal wound.
