* As [[DamselScrappy annoying as Willie can be]], its hard not to feel bad for her when you really think about it, as she spends most of the movie scared out of her mind (and, realistically, she should have some kind of PTSD by the end.)
* The haunted looks of their mothers and grandmothers in the village, who don't even know if their children are still alive.
** One old lady latches onto Short Round and starts sobbing and wailing. Even if you don't know the language, it's easy to guess what she's talking about.
* Indy encountering a weakened child who escaped from Pankot. The boy mentions Sankara and gives him a manuscript before passing out.
* What happened to the poor shmuck who was sacrificed by the cult just before the good guys got caught.
** When he sees the iron cage, he stops his helpless protesting, and from them on until his death he keeps chanting "Om namah Shivaya," which means "adoration to Shiva." He knows his fate is sealed, and all he can now do is pray to Shiva for the salvation of his soul.



* All those innocent children being forced to work in the mines is heartbreaking to watch. Also the haunted looks of their mothers and grandmothers in the village, who don't even know if their children are still alive.

* The novelization's reveal that Mola Ram was yet another brainwashing victim--"His face was the face of a man awakening from a nightmare. . .". Imagine coming out of that with only ''seconds'' to live, with no chance to to fully realize or understand what evils you've committed over ''decades'', and no chance to make amends.

** It's implied that, even under Kali's spell, you're aware of what's going on but you're unable to do anything about it. Indy's apology to Shorty afterwards says it all.
