Where was Dan Akyroyd's scenes in Temple Of Doom? It's been 20 years since I last saw it - I don't even remember him being in it, when I watched it the first time.

Yes, 'tis true - Dan Aykroyd really *is* in "Temple Of Doom" (I didn't believe it myself until my brother actually pointed him out to me !). He has a blink-and-you'll-miss-it cameo as the man who speaks to Indiana at the airport towards the beginning of the film, just after the car chase with Lao Che's men; Aykroyd's character explains to Indy about the last-minute transportation that he has arranged for him.
His character, if I recall correctly, has a moustache, and speaks with a very thick British accent. Add to that the fact that he's only in the film for about 15 seconds, and it's no wonder that many people don't know that this was him . I'd love to know how this cameo came about ...

Aykroyd was friends with Spielberg, going back to working on '1941'.
Now, checking IMDB's cast list, I see Lucas had a cameo somewhere as a missionary. Time to check the videotape evidence!

yeah it's wierd, i've been a "fan" since i was a kid and i didnt notice all these things because i've never really properly watched them until recently, but now i've gone from being a fan to a fanatic i guess..
...oh and i've also learned that James Woods was in one of those boxes at the end of Raiders'
