It wasn't my favourite of the Indy movies (the first one was excellent, the third was lifted by the presence of Sean Connery, the second was 'blah' and the fourth was scraped up off the bottom of the same bucket that spawned Jar Jar Binks) but it was nice to see a cartoon version of the Thuggee cult who bore as much resemblance to the real thing as Short Round did to a Pro Basketball player.
The attention to detail was what you'd expect from Hollywood - the same film refers to Indy having been threatened with (implied) castration by the Sultan of Madagascar... Madagascar never had a Sultan, it had kings and queens but only until the 1890s after which it became a French protectorate.
Lazy lazy Hollywood hacks. "Madagascar sounds foreign, must have been somewhere in the Middle East, right? Must have had a Sultan then.. "
