Uhh.. Short Round, some of your "conspiracy theories" are very misguided. The Thugee cult was a REAL cult from the 19th century in India where they sacrificed people every week under the orders of Kali, the goddess of blood. The British Army eventually exterminated them. Lucas and Spielberg got the inspiration to use this cult as the main villains is not from some s*** sci-fi movie called the "Mole People." It is from the classic movie Gunga Din (1939) starring Cary Grant. If you've seen it, it is in exactly the same fashion as ToD: fun adventure. Short Round, Lucas and Spielberg get their inspirations from A-movies into these essentially B-movie concepts.
