From what I read years ago, the guy that played the evil priest Mola Ram was extremely grateful for this movie. He said his film career in India was going nowhere and when this came out he became a legend and was in very high demand as a villain. He just had to keep shaving his head which he didn’t mind. I also find it interesting that i think Ford said he was one of the nicest guys he’s ever worked with.
Amrish Puri (1932-2005)
Great man❤
He found success as an elder character actor later on in his life.
His career was very good before Indy, as he was already well known as a great villain. Indy didn't do anything for his career, as his big Hollywood movies where only Indy and Ghandi. He played in Bollywood movies before and after that, and indians generally didn't watch or like Temple of doom. Otherwise you are correct. He liked very much playing in Temple of doom and kept shaving his head after that.
I think Kali Ma already rule this world......😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Loved Indy's friendship with Short Round. One of the best sidekicks to an action protagonist.
Absolutely. Endearing without being saccharine.
@@grandpallama And also funny and causing a few problems without being annoying or infuriating.
Unlike Willie.
Not a Kenny.
@@ariochivWillie helped a wee bit
Best child sidekick ever.
Kate Capshaw (who plays Willie Scott)apparently said to Spielberg “I think I’m screaming too much. Wouldn’t she have stopped by now?” He insisted it was to be a running gag and audiences would get it.
Speaking of which, her and Steven Spielberg would eventually get Married in 1991, and are still happily married to this day.
Him and george were going through divorces at around the same time too.
@@theeLonelyRedPanda that's probably a drag but out the Indy girls Willie would be it. Elsa is hot but a dirty opportunistic Nazi sympathiser. Marion is the best but just too much of a tomboy for me. Capshaw is a fox
I think Spielberg was going through something rough in his person life (divorce) and this darker movie reflects that. I’m not crazy about the depictions of Indian people, but if he was going through a rough divorce, that would explain his depiction of women and Indy’s generally flippant attitude towards Willy. That’s probably what I would have done if I was a filmmaker after my first bad breakup. You get the sense he doesn’t like women very much around that time.
I Guess I just don't read too much into it and enjoy the ride. Which Spielberg is a master at doing. If you just surrender to the flow it's just f'n cool.
It says a lot that even the actress thought she was annoying. 🤣🤣
In my opinion, The Last Crusade is the best of the trilogy and is my personal favorite. I can’t wait to see y’all’s reaction to it.
But only because of one person
@@ytatman3218 Yeah, Alison Doody ;)
My favorite too 🔥💯💯🔥
Connery was so good in that movie!
“Goddy ma , shut di day “ 😂
This may seem like an odd compliment but I wanted to thank you guys for having so much confidence in the growth of your channel. There are a lot of channels that I see (reactions and otherwise) that get completely swept up in algorithm-baiting, begging their viewers to like the video, leave a comment, hit subscribe, ring the notification bell, and even going so far as to interrupt the video to ask again and again. Incredibly, I even see some that pull up statistics about how many non-subscribers watched their previous video, shaming them for not subscribing as if that constituted some form of theft!
I applaud the self-assurance and professionalism of saying "Links are in the description. And with that, let's get into the movie!" and completely leaving it at that. The brevity of your self-promotion does not go unnoticed or unappreciated by your fans. Whether you ask us to or not, we will keep coming back to see your great content!
An underrated comment I think.
this remains the most chill, enjoyable, non-performative reaction channel going. no bad comedy riffing, no annoyingly exaggerated reactions, no posturing like you're a film scholar because you took a Movies 101 class at a community college, no constantly asking questions about the plot or trying to guess where things are going next, no childish squeamishness over violence/horror/suspense, and intelligent sincere discussion afterward. also nobody is ever going to make a living doing this stuff so begging for likes or desperately trying to please the youtube algorithms is a fool's game anyway. (you can always tell when a channel just starts going for the numbers when they start editing out the swears, censoring anything remotely violent, and often just shift to all ages movies.)
Hear, hear!
@@jessharvell1022 There are people who make a living doing this stuff, surprisingly.
Totally agree:) love what they’ve done with this channel and their confidence in doing so:)
Even before he became super famous from his incredible resurgance, Ke Huy Quan had a huge part in making this film so great. He carried a lot of weight here, for a young actor. He was hilarious, good with his one liners, showed so much confidence and commitment, just amazing. The 3 main characters were really a great team.
yes AND THERES a fun story of how he was CAST by the TEAM looking for a young Asian, HE actually went with his OLDER brother who was interestedin being interviewd and the people loved him K HUy and his confidence and selected him instead of his older brother !
@@michaelceraso1977 Younger brother. Ke was couching him and they asked him to try out. He got less action but some really great lines in 'The Goonies'
@@putinscat1208there was two action scenes l remember him doing Goonies the bit at the beginning where he is going across one window to the next window with James bond theme playing and where is invention saved him from spikes in the cave
I adore Ke Huy Quan as an actor, and a person. I'm so glad that he's back at it.
This one was my absolute favorite of the series. Willie was totally unprepared for this adventure and the actress played the role so well. Short round was hilarious. And there were so many comedic scenes here. It’s totally the best.
Most singers aren't prepared for this sort of thing, and I would hate Indy for dragging me into it too. He threatened to kill her, kidnap her, and then dragged her into this mess.
Yes, my favorite, too.
The miniature work in the minecart chase scene is incredible, it’s legitimately hard to tell when it switches back and forth.
I my opinion, the mine car chase is one of the best set-pieces in any action film.
@@HermanVonPetri If you’re interested Corridor Crew talked about it in their VFX Artists React series, I think episode 74. It’s pretty amazing. Like it’s one thing to have a miniature set piece on its own but when you have to seamlessly switch between that and full size with actors it gets crazy.
I agree with you though that chase made me go nuts as a kid lol.
Surprisingly the craft inflating out of a plane at a high distance was tested by the Mythbusters and found to be actually plausible as their dummy did not register a high impact. Who knew.
People have got to stop telling the reactors which movies are better than which. Let them form their own expectations.
Exactly! I wonder how their opinions would have taken shape if they didn't go into this with a critical eye, especially with regards to Willie.
This is my favorite Indy movie. It's a nonstop thrillride and I love it. Yes, I even like Willie. Does she scream too much? Yes. But some of her scenes are also hilarious. The bedroom scene where they both wait for each other is one of my favorite scenes, especially when Indy comes in and she is like "Please, be gentle with me." LOL
Me too.
The whole posit is what if the female companion is not a tough, fighting person but more vulnerable, she was caught up randomly in this.
@@henryivpart1 Loved the fact that she was the complete opposite to Marion and a complete fish out of water.
@@Dacre1000tbr Schmitt did not love the fact she was opposite of Marion
Of course she was annoying that's the whole point and why it was so funny. Her and Short Round is why this movie is so much fun and it was my favorite Indy film as a kid.
Since I was a kid, 26 now, I’ve always believed all 3 were all equally awesome, for different reasons.
13:36 me too.
They're all great. Phenomenal even. They aren't equal in my book though. My opinion best to 'worst' is 1,3,2. There are no other numbers to consider. No 4 and there won't be a 5 either!
Oddly enough, my favorite in the Indiana Jones trilogy is the same as Back to the Future: 3,1,2
Heard the new one first 20 minutes is good but the rest is really bad. 😅
@@mattp6089me watching this after Dial of Destiny
The giant guy with a turban who Indy fought is same one as in Raiders where he got chopped up by a propeller
Did you know Pat Roach’s voice was dubbed by Frank Oz?
Though it may seem random that they ended up at the village that needs Indy's help, the movie sets up well the notion that it really wasn't random, but an answer to the prayers from the villagers for someone to help them
They tried the inflatable boat parachute on Mythbusters -- and it worked! The dummy did break his pelvis, if I remember right.
Given the significant public outcry over the fairly gruesome scenes in “Temple of Doom” and “Gremlins," as well as other PG-rated films of the time, Steven Spielberg spoke to the MPAA about creating a new intermediate rating between PG and R that his films often found themselves on. The MPAA agreed, and the PG-13 rating was introduced.
It was okay sequel
You beat me to it. Cheers. Some genuinely horrific and shocking scenes in 'Return to Oz' and 'Something Wicked This Way Comes' ('83) during Disney's "dark" experimental phase were among the other PG films you mentioned; also causing a big clumsy last-minute studio hack job (edit) of 'The Black Cauldron' in 1985. I so wish they'd release the uncut version of that movie.
This and Gremlins. Summer of '84 was exciting for us kids.
That was the beginning of the end. 80s PG was awesome. Some of the best 80s movies were rated PG, even after PG-13 was introduced. Now G is the forgotten rating and where Shrek almost earned its PG rating, Frozen did not. Long term, it was terrible because I remember a lot of otherwise PG movies in the late 90s adding 1 f bomb just to get a PG-13 because PG was seen at the time as a kids film. Now it’s even more so. They should have kept the old system. Sixteen Candles was originally rated R for brief nudity, references to sex and one f bomb, abut Hughes appealed and it was wisely changed to PG. Even in the early 90s, you started to see movies like My Cousin Vinny which were rated R pretty much for language alone, which is some superstitious religious nonsense. At this point, ratings should be guides, not laws. It’s not my job to raise other people’s snot nosed kids. I don’t have them for a reason.
Fun fact: the holy stone (Shiva lingam) in this story actually represents a penis.
And the flat stone that would enclose it represents a vagina (Yoni).
together it's a dualistic symbol for male-female.
My favorite factoid about how this movie developed was that George Lucas was coming up with the story in the middle of a nasty divorce - hence the scene of a man's heart being torn out of his chest and shown to him. The darkness in the film came from that and Lucas admitted later that he might have gone a bit far due to his state of mind at the time. Yeeesh! Fair enough. 😅
Wonder how many of the trademark Lucas lines they got making this...
- I may have gone too far in a few places.
- Willie is the key to all this.
- Willie is like poetry, she rhymes.
It was only set a year before Raiders. And my understanding it was done to explain why he’s not with Marion since Marion is supposed to be his one real love interest.
It was easier to have a temporary love interest here and set the movie as a prequel than have it be a sequel and have everyone be disappointed that Marion and Indy are no longer together.
Short Round, Oscar award winner.
Wow so cool to have said like that LMAO
He really should have been in the new one. Crystal Skull as well.
@@zatoichi1He's Indy's rightful heir.
I absolutely loved Willie's character. I got a kick out of the gags Willie's character brought to the table. It was great on the big screen. All of us in the audience laughed our butt's off at willie running and screaming all over the campsite while Indi and Short round were playing cards together. Each movie brings a different personality to the table. Even in the third we have a different woman with a different personality. I will say the third is my absolute favorite". Thanx for the reaction, take care..xx
The escape scene by Mola Ram is by far the best escape scene. Man just rolls outta there all while doing an evil laugh. Truly amazing.
He's a cheeky lil SOB
Temple of Doom was my favourite when I was a kid, probably because of Short Round - made it seem possible that I could have an exciting adventure because this kid on the screen was having one. Last Crusade is probably my favourite now, followed by Raiders, but I still love Temple of Doom because it is just a lot of fun and has that nostalgia factor for me.
This movie took place a year before Raiders. You can see the difference in Indiana first trading artifacts for diamonds with gangsters. He does what he does for “fortune and glory”, a selfish motivation but through the events of the film freeing the children and returning the stone to the village , Indy grows as a character and into the hero we know and love from Raiders.
This is my wife's favorite. My favorite is the original. We agree our second favorite is The Last Crusade. Everyone has their favorite, and the bottom line is they are all entertaining, full of action, suspense, some sort of phobia for the audience, and always a clear bad guy.
Dude she's the opposite of Marion which makes it awesome. And Cate or Kate Capshaw is Stephen Spielberg's wife. I love her in this movie. She's so funny in my opinion. Somebody has to give hers some props.
She is a good actress. She did what the director told her to do. And not every person is a tough, hard-drinking, punching type. Most people thrown into the middle of this would not do well.
Agree. Kate Capshaw gave an extremely natural comic performance.
I understand why this is a lot of people's least favorite of the original three, but it's my all time favorite Indiana Jones. I always found Willie to be more funny than annoying and also feel that her reactions to the things that are happening feel closer to how an actual real person would react in that situation. The thing I love the most about it though is how much darker it is than the rest of the movies. Like this was my horror movie when I was little kid and too scared to watch actual horror. I love it. Anyways I enjoyed your reaction, and keep up the good work!
While my ranking is 3, 1, 2 (like with most people), I still love ToD and don't get why so many don't. I kinda understand when someone says it should be more light-hearted overall but features too many dark scenes to actually achieve that, but other than that, it's got everything an Indy movie needs - very much unlike KotCS and DoD.
I hope they're done desecrating the franchise any further, but I realize that's a fool's hope.
My favourite when I was a kid, and still my favourite now
100% so many quotable lines from this movie.
I absolutely agree .
Yeah, ppl are way to hard on Willie bc they compare her to Marion but her life is completely the opposite to Indy and Marion's ( Willie is a well know singer who spends her time in high class clubs) but fans still rag on her even knowing this.
Great reaction guys! Raiders is the most well made film, but this one is the most "pulpy", exactly what Indy Jones was meant to be an homage to...and I love every over the top, sensationalized minute of it!
Willie is actually the more realistic sidekick. We would all be having her same reactions. She does progress as the film wears on.
Yes, that's why she never bothered me. It would be boring to have another female character that would be like Marion.
Exactly. And Kate Capshaw, who plays Willie, is setting an homage to the scream queens of the 40's movies.
I've been saying this for years. Willie was a throwback to starlets of the '30s and Kate Capshaw committed to that admirably. I like the idea and it was a good notion to mix things up from the previous films and not have a Marion clone but clearly a lot of people didn't dig it. Kate married Spielberg in the wake of this so I don't feel too badly for her. 😃
@@karlmortoniv2951I so totally agree with you. I also have always defended Kate and her performance.
@@jose9593 Agreed with that, the OP, and all the above. Capshaw herself said in interviews that as a feminist of the '80s, she tended to ensure her various roles were females who were usually pioneers in some way. The role I next most remember her was in SpaceCamp as the first female shuttle pilot.
This time, Lucas and Spielberg went with a more traditional damsel-in-perpetual-distress. Capshaw said she felt it'd be fun to play a role like that at least once in her life. I don't think she anticipated it becoming one of the roles she'd be most remembered for and not too fondly. (The role I next most remember her for is SpaceCamp where she played the first female shuttle pilot.) But Willie *is* a starlet, a nightclub singer and entertainer. She's written true to character and Capshaw's performance is precisely how such a person might be. They certainly exist, even today, and definitely did during the '30s.
Such characters are especially not liked today, understandably, but though people remember Willie Scott as particularly egregious, the Damsel was fairly common a stock character during the '80s.
I like how they didn't even notice Dan Aykroyd helping them get on the plane in the beginning. 😆
I’ve seen this film many times and never knew Aykroyd was in it! 😮
Has anybody? I had to read about it myself. :)
Spileberg makes a cameo in this scene to as one of the missionaries in the background
Watch til the end.
@@busimagen thanks!
Since a kid and even now, my favorite Indiana Jones movie. It is an incredible rollercoaster fun ride, with dark tones. And i said it before and i will say again, i love Kate Capshaw's performance: see is setting an homage to the scream queens of the 40's movies.
I never seen any of the Indiana Jones films but judging by this and the first one, I can see where naughty dog got the inspiration for the Uncharted series
I never quite got why it's a consistent opinion that this film is bad, or not as good--I personally think all of the first three are tons of fun. And as to your comment that everything here was coincidental, that's what I LOVE about the film, it feels like a real adventure in that sense, they stumble onto a village and are like hey, guess we're doing this--that's what adventures are! Always loved the way this film captured that feeling. Great reaction as always!
6:20 TBR always making sure to keep the Wilhelm Scream in the edit 👌
Why not? It's a classic.
Originally called (30:32) "Man getting bit by an alligator, and he screams".
@@clarencewalker3925 Tradition!😎
The actor who played Short Round said that Harrison Ford taught him how to swim (during down time at the hotel they stayed at). So cool! The 3rd is absolutely my favorite, on all levels - but Raiders is so iconic, it's hard to not make that my #1. PS People were crying out for a Short Round and Indy movie before the Crystal Skull was made. After seeing him in Everything, Everywhere All at Once, I'm SO sad this didn't happen :(
Love the double face-palm when Willie bumps into the button again! Short round, the opening sequence, and the scene with spike/crushing/room/trap made Temple of doom my favorite. I think a lot of people don't like Willie, but I thought her character and the dynamic between the three was great
Temple of Doom blew my 9 year old mind when i saw it in the theater. I was forever hooked. The music, animals, adventure, spells, and the score!!! Oh my blessed heart, the score! One of my favorite films. The first trilogy is so good. When you rewatch the 4th movie you’ll realize how bad it really is compared to this. PS. Those are fruit bats, one of Earth largest flying creatures. They come out at sunrise & sunset since they don’t use sonar to hunt since they mostly eat fruit. There’s many different species of fruit bats in Indonesia, Congo, Philippines, Amazon & Madagascar.
This was always my favourite out of the three movies. 👍
This is my absolute favorite Indiana Jones movie. I don't care what anyone says lol
Ditto
❤
As someone who was a teen growing up in the 80's, best part of seeing this movie one night back in '84, was the next year by winning an arcade tournament by dominating the Indiana Jones & the Temple of Doom arcade game by Atari. Great times back then.
I love the fact that it was a game by your avatar!! 🤩😍
Love that game! The arcade version was one of the first quarter poppers to have such good dialect right from the movie. The music stayed true to fashion also
I still hear the sound the people made getting whipped in my dreams.
“Alelele”
“Alelele”
One of my favorite parts in this movie is "Willy...we are going to die!!!"
That spike room sequence is the best
The big guy on the conveyor belt is the same actor as the big German in the first one. He's in all 3 of them.
Still my favorite movie in the series! It's just so dark and wild. Spielberg and Lucas were ballsy with this one.
Spielberg and Lucas were ballsy......very!!! 100%
Doesn't matter if you're ballsy if it's a fail.
@@jkhoover it isn't , though
@@ComandoPadentro Unfortunately, it is, especially compared to Raiders and Last Crusade. Lucas and Spielberg had trouble with the tone. Some parts are completely silly, and some parts are super serious. It's really slow until the very end, where it's non-stop action for the 3rd act. The balance for the entire movie is just way off.
@@jkhoover I disagree, but that's ok.
I really loved this movie for what it is.
"The last Crusade" will blow your minds !
Can't wait to see your reactions
You two are so sincere, and I love your chemistry. I subscribed early to your channel and have loved watching you guys the last couple of years. As a rabid film nerd I love seeing your reactions to these films. It’s like seeing them for the first time. Keep up the good work. Great channel!
My favourite as a kid was Temple, and still my favourite now
Another edit, lol. I love your reactions to Haunting of Hill House. One of the best shows I’ve seen in the last few years…. Fantastic television
My favorite of the trilogy.
A year after this came out, there was an episode of NOVA on PBS about FX tech. For POV shots of the coal cars going through the tunnel they used a little car with a camera mounted on it. The camera was a common snapshot camera with the back door removed and replaced with a custom-built film magazine. So it looked like a regular little camera with a big drum on each side. They then took one frame at a time with the usual stop-motion method, but the camera could pivot on the little car, so they turned it to look around corners just before a bend on the train track. The FX man said he always felt disappointed by shots taken from a camera fixed on a moving car, because you didn't see what was ahead until after completing a turn.
This is my favorite Indiana Jones movie. Who could’ve imagined Ke Huy Quan as Short Round and Data in The Goonies would go on to win an Oscar. I was so happy for him. He’s always been a great actor.
Did you guys get new chairs? They look really comfortable for movie watching.
I saw this film during its original theatrical run. My date and I were in a over packed theater. I remember laughing so hard during the dinner scene. Loved this film.
As a kid watching these, i thought Short Round was just the coolest kid ever. I loved his connection with Indy, I still get a little teary how he says "Indy, I love you"
Fun fact: Stephen Spielberg met Kate Capshaw in this film and later married her. They are still married to this day.
When I was younger, this was my favorite one. But as an adult the original and the third are probably my favorite
STOP!!!! It's still this don't lie!
The child mimicking the adult was something Spielberg also did in Jaws, between father and son at the dinner table.
God, I've been watching this original trilogy my whole life, and it's just so consistently awesome at every phase. All three, while admittedly not perfect, are still great in their own ways. Ark is just a damn fun, lighthearted, exuberant serial adventure, full of wonder and mysticism. Every charecter is incredibly memorable and likeable, the action scenes still knock your socks off...only complaint is a few really stupid scenes here and there, like when Indy and Marrion have sex on the boat.
Temple is just a breathless, adrenaline jacked thrill ride, with an incredibly dark, horror movie like edge that truly makes it stand out in the series. As grating as Willie and her screaming can get, I actually don't dislike her nearly as much as everyone else, for one, because she's actually really funny a lot of the time, and to be fair, what normal person wouldn't be screaming non stop?
Finally, Last crusade. Oddly enough, I find this one by far the weakest as an action spectacle. For some reason, most of the action sequences in it do next to nothing for me, and in a series so famous for it's action scenes, you'd think that would ruin it, but I still completely love it for one pivotal overarching element.....it has...so...much....❤ and feels. Everything with Indy and Henry Jones Sr is handled so beautifully you still totally go along with it. I swear to God, that scene where Connery tells him to forget the grail....😭😭😭😭 No human being who ever had a dad couldn't loose their shit during that moment. All in all, if adventure had a name, it would be Indiana Jones.
Sam's face when Indy added Chen to the flaming shish kebab was worth the admission alone lol.
Agree on Wu Han, ever since I was a kid I felt gutted he died, might be one of most impactful bitpart character deaths ever, David Yip and Ford sold it like champs.
This film is a movie OG for villainous laughs as well.
Cannot wait for part 3's reaction. Once you are done with Indy, please get some Axel Foley in your life. 😄
The original screenplay has a scene that never made it into the movie where Short Round asks where Wu Han is before they get on the plane. Indy tells him that "Wu Han's not coming" and Short Round just kind of understands that he's gone.
@@benvsreality Cool to know. I can actually visualise that scene happening.
I'm 44 now and have loved this movie since I was a kid. I can't, for the life of me, understand people saying this movie is weak. All 3 are great in their own way. We don't talk about 4.
It's just relative. Temple of Doom is a really good and entertaining movie, but a lot of fans think that the other two are even better.
Weak? first I'm ever seeing this EVER!!! Never did I see anyone say this was the weakest.....NEVER Till now :/
This Movie will always have a special place in My Heart, as it is one of the very first Movies that I'd ever seen as a kid...saw this before I'd even seen "Raiders." Found out years later that Harrison Ford severely injured himself filming that bedroom fight scene, and underwent emergency surgery to fix his back. While He was recovering, Harrison's Stunt Double stood-in for him as "Indy."
Another Fun Fact: Kate Capshaw & Steven Spielberg starting dating in-between filming this Movie, and they're still Happily Married today!
This is my favorite film in the Indiana Jones series. It’s mostly because of the rescue of the kids. In just about every Indy movie besides this, there’s a running thing that if our hero didn’t get involved, the villains would still lose due to whatever artifact they were chasing turning on them in some way. Here, he actually makes a major difference by saving all the children. That just makes this one my favorite.
Plus, the action scenes are the best in this movie.
I grew up with Indiana Jones, being born in '77. The ?ast Crusade is HANDS DOWN my favorite! Hope you enjoy!
Here’s some little points of trivia for you. The name of the club in the opening was Club Obi Wan and when he turns and runs from the guards after escaping the mines are both homages to Star Wars. The guy that met them at the airport was Dan Aykroyd. Mythbusters proved that using an inflatable raft to jump from a plane and survive is possible and the big guard that was crushed is the same actor that was chopped by the propeller in Raiders.
This is my favorite Indiana Jones movie -- just so you know: we do exist. And I thought Willie was hilarious. I think there are people (not sure if you're among them or not) who just get irritated with characters whose function is largely to irritate the other characters in the story, Jar Jar Binks (whom I also love) would be another instance. And it's not only comedy: in serious drama, Blanche Dubois in A Streetcar Named Desire is another case. The fact that these characters drive the other characters crazy is a central part of the point.
I’m way in the minority but I think this one is the second best Indy movie.
The Last Crusade is many fans’ favorite of the series, including mine. After the dark themes of Temple, Crusade is much more light, fun, and funny, with a cool story to boot. Hope you enjoy.
If it hasn't been mentioned before, the big guy Indy fights (who ends up in the rock crusher) is the same actor who got minced by the plane propeller in Raiders. He's an English ex-wrestler and star of a famous sit-com about Northern English builders working in Germany, called 'Auf Weidersehen, Pet'.
These movies are always a thrill ride.
This one was one of my faves since my grandmother found it entertaining so we enjoyed it together, the last film before she passed.
Many Minecraft rides and adventures stemmed from this movie.
This is my favorite of the Indiana Jones movies. The opening scene with Harrison Ford wearing the James Bond tuxedo. The shootout, car chase and Dan Aykroyd escorting them to their plane. Also the dinner scene never gets old. The bugs, the snake surprise, the soup with eyeballs and of course the chilled money brains. So gross but so fun to watch. I love this movie completely and Harrison Ford is such a great iconic actor.
This is my favorite one despite its obvious and glaring flaws (Willie being annoying and the falling from the plane sequence being utterly ridiculous). The dynamic of Indiana and Shortround is the most fun of all the Indiana Jones movies. And the really dark messed up visuals is the coolest aesthetic of all the Indiana Jones movies.
Raiders takes place in 1936. Indy is slightly less experienced here.
This was the first Indiana Jones movie that almost my whole family attended in the theater (down to my 3-year old brother). My dad vouched for this movie based on Raiders that only he and i had seen in the theater. As you might imagine, we weren't the only family in the theater and that made Temple of Doom even more memorable. The screams! The laughs! The ride! A true rollercoaster of a movie!
My first Indy Jones film. The one I saw the most so I have an attachment to it. They fun and adventure in this was great, probably the funniest of them all.
This is my favorite one but i think its because this is they only one ive ever seen 🤷🏾♀️. I just remember me and my dad watching this together and quoting the movie. "Drop them Dr. Jones! They will be found, you won't!"
Thanks for the reaction 👍 I can understand how you would rank the series 1, 4, 2 because I think a lot of a films impression has to do with the age and date you saw it. Even though #2 is generally looked down on over time, if you saw it (especially as a kid) in 1984, you were blown away because the genre was still so fresh and new. It’s really not the same as seeing it when it came out.
Trivia: Kate Capshaw is Steven Spielberg's wife and Ke Huy Quan won an Oscar for "Everything Everywhere All at Once."
Did u notice the English man at the beginning taking indy and Willie to the plane was dan Aykroyd? Also, the club at the beginning was club obi wan? Finally, the big Indian guy indy fights at the end is the same actor that he fought in the first film under the plane that got chopped up...
9:55 The shooting star used to be Steven Spielberg's thing. He used to put one in all of his movies.
I know Willie is often a major point of contention with this installment, but over the years, I've grown to tolerate her. 😂 In actuality Kate Capshaw is a very underrated actress, and she did a great job for what her performance required. Personally I think this has some of the best Indiana Jones stuff. That mine cart chase is absolutely invigorating. The amount of filmmaking techniques used in it are amazing and varied. The Last Crusade is definitely a better movie, but this is the one that overtime has really grown on me.
FUN, BUT CRAZY FACT: While shooting the bedroom fight scene, Harrison Ford ruptured a spinal disc from flipping the assassin over his back and somersaulting over him. He had to use a gurney to rest on while shooting takes, but his injury deteriorated and he had to be flown back to Hollywood for surgery and physical therapy. Luckily, he recovered and made it back to the set just before shooting schedule ended.
I'm one of the few I guess, since this is probably my favorite of the three. The third one isn't bad at all, neither is the first one, this one just holds a special place in my heart. When I was young and watched this at our small theater, pay once get to watch it twice, I think the only movies I saw more than this one were The Dark Crystal and Gremlins. Good old days. Good memories. 🐾
Willie Scott’s character is a homage to similar characters in the old 1930s and 40s adventure movies, like Fay Wray in King Kong or a whole bunch of characters in vintage horror movies. I think everyone got this back in the cinemas in 1984 having grown up watching those old movies on TV, so we didn’t mind at all.
This is my favorite Indy film, I think simply because it's the one I owned as a kid and watched over and over. I didn't see the original (at least regularly) until later.
"We... are... going... to... die!!"
40 years later that still cracks me up every time.
As a kid, "Raiders" was my favorite. As an adult, the third film is my favorite. Sean Connery and Harrison Ford are so damn funny and incredible together in that movie. I can't wait for you guys to see it. "Temple of Doom" is my least favorite of the original trilogy. I couldn't get past the 30 minute mark on the fourth film. It's so bad. But hopefully you guys watch that on the channel. It will force me to finish watching it. hahaha. Great reviews.
I absolutely adore Temple of Doom and i think the main reason for that is because I watched it first out of the Indy films and when i was a kid, once Indy comes out of his blood of the kali coma the action just never lets up for one minute and just loved it as a kid and still do, still my favourite Indy adventure. I also loved that you notice that this is set earlier to Raiders so it actually makes it a prequel and the first in the Indy timeline, that is why there are no signs of any characters from Raiders in this one and yes MVP is definitely Short Round gutted he was never in anymore of the Indy films. Great to see you both enjoyed it though👍
This is my favourite out of the three films. I liked the style and setting of this one.
Temple of Doom - 1935
Raiders - 1936
Last Crusade - 1938
Crystal Skull - 1957
Dial of Destiny - 1969
“ too much to drink , dr jones ?!”😂
I cannot wait to see your reaction for The Last Crusade.
This is my favourite of the Indiana Jones movies, and it is mostly due to Kate Capshaw's character and of course, Short Round but i also prefer the plot in this one over the other movies.
When I lived at my old apartment that had a workout center, this movie was playing on th tv. I was on one of the exercise bikes, and the heart scene came on just as a group of some of the Indian residents of the complex.
Just.
AWKWARD.
This was my favorite when I was a kid. The child loves Temple of Doom. When he realizes Raiders is the Lost Ark is better, he becomes a man. When he realizes Last Crusade is the best, he becomes wise.
And if likes the fourth one he becomes an idiot
I must have been wise as a kid because last crusade was my favorite you can't beat Sean Connery
Happy to see another video uploaded on this channel. Your discussions at the end of each video are always far more interesting and insightful than many other reactors.
Since you have watched Jackie Chan and Indiana Jones, it’s time to watch Jackie Chan’s take on Indiana Jones: “Armor of God” and “Operation Condor.” All of Jackie Chan’s Hong Kong movies stand as giants to his Hollywood movies.
Take care, you two, and cheers.
Agreed.
the only channel whose outro is _almost_ as long as the reaction.
This movie is hardcore. Like others have said it contributed to the pg-13 rating. Lucas and Spielberg were both going through divorces so they have said they were in dark places. Also the big dude Indy fights is the same big dude from raiders, just in different makeup. Can’t wait for you guys to watch last crusade. One of my favorite movies of all time.
I got the VHS tape as a Christmas gift from my grandmother as a child. I watched it almost every day for years. I am not exaggerating.
Willie's a singer and showgirl caught fighting a death cult with a guy who she met when he took her hostage by knifepoint the day before. All things considered, I think she did fine.
Great reaction as always. I love this one as much as all of them, but I think I've actually watched this one more than the others. I saw itbin the theater and it was quite an experience. I think most of the complaints against this one are unwarranted as it's very faithful to the genre. Seems like some people want Indy to go on similar adventures each time.
My mother took me and my best friend to see this as well as Star Trek 2 Wrath of Khan at a double feature drive in theater. I would have been 8 or 9, my best friend too, she was just 1 day older than me. I remember being grossed out by the bug going into the one guy's ear in Star Trek. We probably fell asleep before the end of Star Trek, though. It's something to think about stuff that we experienced and newer generations won't. Such as going to a drive in theater in the summer, with the speakers that don't have great sound lol. Playground and going for snacks, drinks. I know a few drive ins still exist, but it's not the same.
In case you didn't catch it, the guy talking to indy before he gets on the plane was Dan Aykroyd.
Also, Willie Scott, played by actress Kate capshaw, is also Stephen spillberg's wife.
Chronologically, Temple of Doom takes place before Raiders of the Lost Ark.
First of all short round is the mvp of this movie! I love all indie films.. Willie is the real reason people don't like this one. But she actually has a good arc.. she's a pain then becomes more humble and not such a pain lol. But love how dark this film is and it's so action packed! This is my favorite cause I watched it so much as a kid and I think people around my age love this movie but people younger or older don't like it as much.. I do have to say u will probably like the 3rd the most. .. but this movie is the ride influences lol.. that's right!
A lot of the novelization is from Short Round's POV. It's pretty interesting.
While Raiders is probably my favorite Indy movie, Temple of Doom has always been a guilty pleasure. Leaning into classic tropes is a big part of these movies so it can be enjoyed by watching out for the different tropes. An interesting thing with this being set before 'Raiders' is that you can see an Indy that is more like Belloq from that movie; you can see Indy develop into a more caring character.
Spielberg often said in interviews: "Amrish is my favorite villain. The best the world has ever produced and ever will!"
Amrish Puri 1932 - 2005
