      My opinion of temple of doom is that it has the highest highs and lowest lows out of the og trilogy. It’s by far the most chaotic Indiana Jones movie and it stands out as unique when you compare it to the other two.
      Also shortround is the best Indian Jones sidekick ever, and one of few people that indie really cares about. Fuck Shia labeouf, indie should have adopted shortround as is son.
      My fav will always be the last crusade for obvious reasons, but the entire OG trilogy is gold.

    Rich is right, Short Round was always going to be the getaway driver because Dan Aykroyd says that Indy's assistant booked the plane for 3 people. Since I doubt Wu Han planned on kidnapping Willie or getting shot we can assume the original 3 were going to be Indy, Short Round, and Wu Han.

    I'm half Indian and saw Temple of Doom at a cinema in Fiji while on holiday. Saw a Hindu statue shop and immediately got a statue of Kali. Got back to Australia and resumed school after the holidays and was swamped by kids asking about the food. Because they all watched it too, and thought that's what we eat.
    The whole point was that they were a cult eating that weird stuff, as most Hindus are vegetarian for a start. But I had to convince a lot of people that they weren't popular Indian dishes.

      Based on vegans in the usa i really dont think Indians are vegetarians. Theres 14 vitamins you cant get from vegetables because plants dont make or need them. You can only get them from animals like chickens pigs or cows or any animal at those levels on the food chain. But ive never been to india and i dont feel like trying to prove this. Maybe indians are some kind of evolved human that can process plants at the same level as goats and cows. Even though both those animals stomachs are way different then ours and in goats way more powerful.

    Surprised they didn't discuss the framing of the scene where Indiana Jones could leave, but instead comes back for the kids. When he returns, the kids are pushing a minecart and the light of the cart itself reveals the silhouette of Indy's return. So it's a bit of a callback to the silhouette usage in the first movie, but this time it's portrayed in classic heroism style. It's one of my favorite shots of all the movies.

It was another clue into how well they knew each other, that he knew how to fight just like Indy, after Indy started looking after this orphan boy. I was a little Chinese boy the same age as Short Round when I saw Temple of Doom and Short Round made me feel validated decades before representation became a Hollywood buzzword.

    Temple of Doom is highly under-appreciated. All of the set pieces and action sequences are fantastic and memorable (night club opening, mine cart chase, bridge sequence), and the tone is so dark, adventurous, and bold. Indiana Jones walks straight into a pulpy horror film and it’s entirely awesome. Raiders is an all-time classic, and Temple is Raiders on steroids. While The Last Crusade has its many high points and the Ford/Connery banter is fun, but it’s clearly a return to the Raiders-esque aesthetic after the controversial Temple. But that dark and edgy side of Temple is what engages me the most and keeps me coming back to it. Not to mention, the sweet bond between Indy and Short Round brings some real heart to the film, contrasted with its darker moments.

It takes its time building the scence. "Showing" the audience a scene rather than " lead me the way." through boring dialouge hand fed to me. Exposition!!
    Short round. Charming. A great cast of unusual characters in an unusual circumstance works in this film. Caught Dan Akroyds cameo in the intro. Never knew!! His voice is iconic for me. 80's.

      And also, if your first film has Marion Ravenwood as the female lead, who's up there with Princess Leia as a cool, spunky, competent, kind of badass character, then you can get away with going for the complete opposite of hat in this film. As you say, the contrast is refreshing and imo at least, she's still a fun character. And she does end up more courageous by the end.

    Spielberg was with Amy Irving during Temple of Doom. The two had a son together around this time (or within a year or so). Depending upon who you believe, Steven was not ready to grow up and face the responsibility of fatherhood. Also, Temple is a prequel because even though they thought Indy and Marion should be together, they didn't want to explain why she wasn't in the film! And FYI, the first 20 minutes of Temple is just all the set pieces they did not use in Raiders. They were written during that film's production.

And the Ark gets flown straight to Germany in the flying wing, probably a lab somewhere where they eventually figure out how to use it safely.
      And Henry Sr dies in Castle Brunwald or possibly somewhere out in the desert, Indy never sees him again nor has their relationship repaired.

They're both trying to kill eachother, and at one point the thugee's clothing gets caught in the machinery and he starts getting pulled in about to be crushed and he starts screaming to Indy for help, and even though they were just trying to end one another, Indy starts trying to help save him because damn... what a rough way to go. The thugee died anyways, but I always appreciated that both of them got horrified about what was about to happen next and that Indy was decent enough to try to not let that happen.

      Spielberg can stuff it about this movie. It was always my favorite as a kid, followed by Raiders. I also loved Last Crusade, but I appreciated the darker tone of Temple of Doom more. I think kid movies should be extremely dark in spots. We don't have to traumatize kids, the good guys should always win the end in kid movies, but I do think kids should be made aware of the cruelty that exists in the world via the media they consume. A few movies that did this extremely well that I remember from my own childhood were An American Tail, Pinocchio, The Secret of NIMH, and of course Temple of Doom. The Iron Giant also gets an honorable mention. I can't really think of a greater message to present to small children than that of a sentient weapon of mass destruction deciding it doesn't want to be a gun or hurt people, because violence is always the wrong choice.

It wasn't until now that I really thought about it, and realized they probably could have found some crocodile farm or a crocodile-themed tourist attraction to film in in Sri Lanka if they wanted to, so it must have been a conscious choice to use alligators specifically because that's how old timey serials would have done it.

    Also, Rich, don't worry. Later tie-in Indiana Jones novels specified that Shortie grew up and went to school in America, with Indy paying for it from the money he gets from his various archaelogical shenanigans. With that in mind, I'm just gonna say it: HE should be the one to inherit the fedora, not 'Mutt' Williams.

      Oh, don't worry. They make sure to tell the audience that Mutt gets killed in Vietnam and he's divorced from Marion in the Dial of Destiny (after they got "happily married ever after" in the Crystal Skull), so not only is he a deadbeat dad, his kid is also dead, AND he's sad and lonely and divorced. Because KK absolutely HATES fathers apparently. Also yes short round is in the movie. They're that desperate.

    It was my favorite Indiana Jones movie as a wee dumb child. It had the least amount of talking and was the funniest. It also definitely felt more like a cartoon like, "Tune in next time to see where Indy ends up next!" which appeals to a kid.
    Also, at least when I was a child, I didn't think the eating scene was intended to depict normal Indians. I thought they were eating like that as foreshadowing for their weird cult.

      I grew up in the southern us watching this movie in the 90's so not a bastion of cultural understanding but as far as I could tell everyone interpreted it as weird cult stuff and a big sign something was wrong.

    Guys, how did you not get how the greenery returns to the village. It's the fact that the damned up water is released. It takes Indy and company time to travel back to the village. Though the stones do have magical properties, it's still portrayed as somewhat superstitious in the movie that they associate the lack of water with the stones.
