I just took a look at the Wiki Page for the movie. The movie itself wasn't even filmed in India, but in Sri Lanka and Puri was the only real native indian actor. The rest was hired extras from Sri Lanka. So no wonder, the two didn't recognise the landscape
Ceylon to use an older name has a lot of Tamil people. Tamil is a state of India. The sacrifice victim is Indian. from an interview he gave " “OK, you’re going to be in that cage. And they’re going to pull you towards it, and you’re going to die and you’re frightened. So: What would you say?” I said, “Well, I think I’d say ‘om namah shivaya.’ It’s a prayer type of thing that you say before you die; you pray to the god Shiva.” And then they checked that with Amrish Puri, and he said “Yeah, yeah, that’s right.”@@Anthyrion
The feast is a tip that the rumors of an evil at the palace were true. Those things would be sacrilegious for a Hindu to eat but a cult who did ritual murder would partake in it. There is a filmed scene where Indy remarks that dinner was weird since no Hindu eat those things. A Pakistani reaction channel picked up on the context of the feast
I only TODAY figured that out from your comment and their reaction. Until now, I’d just assumed chilled monkey brains was more hilarious cultural stereotyping from the Howard the Duck writers.
Monkeys are worshipped as avatars of Hanuman so killing and eating one would be sacrilegious unless you were in danger of starving to death.@@ericjanssen394
Yeah Cinephiles React did that comment. They were also bothered that India (or as they called it, Hindustan) was portrayed that way, and they defended India by saying nobody eats those kinds of things. But they also remarked that it's because those people were part of an evil cult. I actually wish they would meet each other and make a "crossover" video. Would be very interesting.
This was filmed in Sri Lanka, that explains the scenery. However the costumes were like rajistan because that is what western audiences think of when they imagine India. They think of Rajistan, and this was made for westerners
That must be why they went back and forth between guessing it was set in Rajastan or in Kerala. Rajastan for the costumes, Kerala (near Sri Lanka) for the palm trees and scenery. About as good a guess as you can make for a fictional setup! It's like Americans trying to figure out what city something is set in when half of the scenes were filmed in Vancouver BC.
I LOVE when Babu repeats the words! :3 I was waiting for them to react to this movie just because it has indian language i was very curious about. Babu is awesome
If it hasnt already been mentioned, Temple of Doom is actually a prequel to Raiders of the lost Ark, taking place in 1935, one year before the events of Raiders.
Narrative wise it doesn't really matter as they're completely self-contained stories. In the books that Indian villain is a recurring character though, that's when it starts to matter.
@Trazynn The time line is important if lore and chronology are important to the fiction you consume. Watching Raiders knowing that Indy has already experienced the events of Temple can change how you watch Raiders. As well, it begs certain questions, that are not answered in the subsequent films. What happened to Short Round, he would only be one year older and loved Indy like a father and saved Indy's life. Why is he not with him in Raiders or mentioned? What happened to the Romance between Indy and Willie? Again they escaped death together and yet within a year Indy is with Marion and would have a child with her. None of those question matter if Temple came AFTER Raiders. Just my two cents.
they had books etc. Indiana Jones encountered the wreckage of the Millenium Falcon and human skeleton of the pilot and the still alive Chewbacca@@matthewkinsey9044

When Indy is being whipped he is being called a pig. When the guard is knocked out of the trance and being sucked into the grinder he yells Save Me White Master!

I know the vast majority of the Indy Die-Hards (especially those who prefer Last Crusade) have mixed feelings on this film due to it being darker than _Raiders of the Lost Ark_ (which resulted in the creation of the PG-13 rating afterwards) Kate Capshaw’s performance as Willie Scott (which I can somewhat agree to a degree, but I hated Elsa more than Willie), among other things, but I love the fact that it was much different than the other installments and let’s be real Ke Huy Quan as Short Round is one of the best sidekicks Indiana Jones had and it was also heartwarming that when they were promoting the fifth Indiana Jones film at D23 Ke reunited and met Harrison Ford backstage with Harrison saying _"Are you Short Round?"_ to which Ke Huy said _"Yes Indy, I’m Short Round"_ and they got a picture. Not to mention when _Everything, Everywhere, All at Once_ (which they should react to at some point) won Best Picture both Ke Huy and Harrison reunited once more. But overall in my unpopular opinion I enjoyed this one more than Last Crusade. Also it’s awesome that Babu was able to recognize Amrish Puri as Mola Ram cause he was a very well-known famous actor in India.
@@MrGenedancingmachine But the Indy Die-Hards also had mixed reception and prefer Last Crusade and the first film over Temple of Doom and the fourth and fifth film
@@MrGenedancingmachine Besides, Critics (film critics) reception for the fourth film was slightly positive than the fans (especially the Indy Die-Hards who loved the first three films) were mixed to negative.
@@Seek1878 I would venture to say that the writers/filmmakers are fully aware of how outlandish it all is and recognize that its over-the-top nature can be found funny by some. This series, more than anything else, is supposed to be FUN. Tbh, there's very few moments in this film one could even argue are trying to be serious moments. Perhaps Indy becoming possessed (which I can see someone perhaps finding humorous/too campy) and the emotional exchange between Shorty and Indy (which I think definitely hits the mark, emotionally). Other than those two moments, it's kind of wall-to-wall bonkers action, gross-out moments, and comedy gags.
About the banquet - you can tell Babu and Raeen that evil people in palace do evil things (like human sacrifice) so their dinner is not an ordinary dinner but it is perverted , strange. I know that in western countries knowledge about indian cousine is low and this scene was supposed to be funny but when watched their reaction i think this explanation would be better for them. Greetings from Poland!
It’s shorthand for evil rich. Roman and French aristocracy would eat ridiculous and elaborate food made from animals no one would ever normally eat. It’s an example of decadence.
@@00Kuja00 Its been mentioned elsewhere in the comments section but originally Indy notes that regular Hindu people dont eat stuff like that and "Something is....very wrong here". The line was cut and only ended up in a kids autio book format. Of course it also might have been cut because Indy said the line wrong and erroneously said "hindus dont eat meat" instead but ti was an earnest attempt by Hollywood half a century ago
@@TrollCapAmerica He does mention in the film "these are not hindus". But hinduism is a very complex religion, I have a masters in history of religions.
@@TrollCapAmerica most hindus at that time wouldn't have eaten meat at that time since it would be a luxury food for rural hindus. Even now fully vegetarian is dominant in a lot of areas or its the majority of their eating.
Hehe, I think Babu would make a great movie villain, too :D Well, it was way less "cringe" than I expected. I'm very happy that they enjoyed it, and I'm looking forward for the third part. I really hope you'll show them Conan the Barbarian soon. The atmosphere of the sacrifice scene in Temple of Doom always reminds me of the snake tower in Conan the Barbarian. I guess this type of atmosphere is somewhat iconic for adventure or fantasy movies of that era.
1. Many folks don't care for this one very much but I do. It's all kinds of fun. 2. Just a small suspension of belief regarding the lifeboat drop out of the plane, and the coal car landing perfectly on the tracks. 3. IRL Ford could fly that plane. 4. When I was in the US Navy I got to eat monkey (but not monkey brains) and tasted dog in the Philippines. 5, Shortround is "Billy Badass" 6. Disneyland already has a "Temple of the Lost Ark" so another one of the ride through the tunnel/mine would be cool too. Assuming you can still afford it. 7. The guy that gets crushed is the same actor that played the guy that gets wacked by the propellor in "Raiders of the lost ark". 8. Kate Capshaw got the Willie gig because she was dating and later became Spielberg's wife.
3. Well I mean it was the 90's before he took up flying again, it was too expensive for him in the 60's when he took some flight training courses. Also fly yes, land no (unless there's a nearby golf course) 2. I remember when Crystal Skull came out, and some people were saying it wasn't as good because of all the supernatural/unbelievable stuff. I was like, did you watch the first three, faces melted, hearts pulled out, non-survivable falls, live forever.
2. Oddly enough, Mythbusters did a test of the lifeboat fall and surprisingly... with some luck, it can kinda work, sort of. So not completely out of the realm of plausibility. The coal car though would be a complete dice throw... but still it could happen.
Ever since I started following/subscribed I wondered if they’d do this film. I am so glad they got to view it. Babu had me cracking up. Their summary of the film was very good.
This reaction made me so happy. I love their enthusiasm for movies! I agree that Amrish Puri gives a tremendous performance. I am looking forward to watching more reactions. 😊
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom was shot in Sri Lanka, China, the United States, and England. Filming locations included Blue Canyon and Coal Mine Canyon in Arizona, University of the Pacific and Hamilton Air Force Base in California, Kandy in Sri Lanka. Filming also took place at Elstree Film Studios in England.
I would be interested to see their reaction to the film ‘Everything, Everywhere, All At Once’, and to knowing that this kid, Ke Huy Quan, grew up from being Short Round to being Waymond.
A movie you may want to consider is The Deceivers; a 1988 adventure film directed by Nicholas Meyer, starring Pierce Brosnan, Shashi Kapoor and Saeed Jaffrey. The film is based on the 1952 John Masters novel of the same name regarding the murderous Thuggee of India.
Babu & Raeen are golden together! Glad they got to watch another Indiana movie. I would love to see the gang react to movies based in India like Slumdog Millionaire, Lion, Gandhi please.
When they land after the plane crash, your comment about how the scene didn't represent where your country. This is how many Americas feel about how they represent America in movies. Of course, this is supposed to by 1935 (or something like that) so it was long ago. Still, I appreciate your comments.
Considering this has been numerous times he’s said helicopter instead of plane, I’m wondering if there was a translation error some time ago that created this confusion. Like how some languages have multiple words for snow, so when we say snow, we are being incorrect
I finally learned that Indians don’t eat pregnant snakes and monkey brains. I liked that they translated many of the lines in Hindi that I always remembered but never knew what they were saying. And Babu has good musical rhythm.
Snakes and monkey are believed to be kind of holy animal like ancient Egyptian and cats also 30% of indian are vegetarian india has biggest population of vegetarians in the world
It’s definitely interesting to see their reactions to this movie. I’m glad they take it so well, and that they clarify things for us. Regardless of the intent, the stereotyping in this movie is pretty bad. Other commenters had mentioned a deleted scene where in Indy remarks that the feast was weird and that no Hindu would eat those things. They really should’ve left that in.
When it comes to the Banquet scene I think Amrish Puri (who plays Mola Ram) put it best "it's based on an ancient cult that existed in India and was recreated like a fantasy. If you recall those imaginary places like Pankot Palace, starting with Shanghai, where the plane breaks down and the passengers use a raft to jump over it, slide down a hill and reach India, can this ever happen? But fantasies are fantasies, like our Panchatantra and folklore. I know we are sensitive about our cultural identity, but we do this to ourselves in our own films. It's only when some foreign directors do it that we start cribbing."
Poor Babu: ‘I will defecate if I see such scenes.’ Ironically, though, now he knows what it feels like being a regular dude at a modern American cinema.
I must admit I was a little worried Babu and Raeen would be confused and a little offended by certain aspects of the film's plot largely involving Indian culture. We all know there are many inaccuracies. But they understand it's just a fictional adventure movie and I'm very glad they enjoyed it. 1984, what an awesome year for movies. This is one of my all time favorite movies of my generation. I remember seeing this in a movie theater in 1984 with my mum and her friend when I was 10 years old. The feast at Pankot Palace had everyone gasping in horror and laughter, it was hilarious. I even had the LP album read-along.🙏🤍
I saw this whenever I was probably about 7- I was horrified during the feast and asked my mother if people eat the things they were showing. She said “Idk what’s going on. You’d get weird diseases from eating stuff like that, These people have something wrong with them.” 😂 that became much more apparent to me during the sacrifice scene.
@@darla896 hahaha Yeah the feast scene with the snake surprise and monkey brains was horrific and funny. I remember baby sitting my younger cousin and her sister, this movie was on tv and although they insisted on watching it they got pretty freaked out even though they were only a few years younger than me. I put on some WB Cartoon videos for them so they could get to sleep. The sacrifice scene is what tipped them over the edge I think.😂
These were supposed to be Shanghai, China and India near the Himalayas in 1935, 12 years before independence and the partitioning. Roshan Seth, who played the Pankot Prime Minister, said the dinner scene was intended to be simultaneously a joke the Pankot people were playing on what they believed was the ignorance of their guests about the culture of India, but also a hint something is very wrong with the people of the palace. Also, what Temple of Doom portrays is more a caricature of how Westerners imagine India, the same way the Indiana Jones series and similar adventure stories of the early 20th century portray various cultures as how Westerners imagined them. However, because some of the shots and lines that made that more readily obvious were cut, many people interpreted it as disrespectful of Indian culture, and this film was considered the least well regarded of these first 3 movies. Seth said in a later commentary that this film really established Amrish Puri's fame for playing villains, that after this film, he always kept his head shaved and continued to play every major bad guy in Indian cinema for years. (Mola Ram definitely left a deeply intimidating impression in my childhood memory and this is the only film I've ever seen him in..!)
for the film they did want to shoot the palace scenes at the real pankot palace in Janpur, India, but sadly they weren't allowed to. most of the film was done in sri lanka and sound stages in england. the dinner scene was over exaggerated on purpose. if you get to watch the making of the film steven and george talk about to his alot. there was a certain style they were going for like from the 30's and 40's films . the film gets darker to represent the divorce george lucas was going through and his pain etc. and after star wars epi 4 came out epi 5 empire strikes back was darker at the end of it too and george explained this to spielberg and he went with it. it's the film that got the pg 13 rating made; spielberg asked the rating guy to create it.
And aren't the other films scandalous for Russians, Egyptians, Germans, etc.? Yes, it's as cliché as possible, but Indiana Jones is just an adventure film. But also a satyr of old films at the time where each indy is located: that's why in 1 and 3, we have the ark and the grail with na*is, the story takes place in the 40s. In the 50s were the Russians and the myth of aliens. Indiana Jones 2 takes place in the 20s, early 30s and at the time, these were exotic myths, with the natives seen by the whites of the time with all the clichés that ensued.
I would HIGHLY recommend ‘Million Dollar Arm’ to my friends. It’s the story of bringing two Indian boys to America to have them become Major League Baseball pitchers. My friends here will find the same actor who played the villain in this, only he’s a good guy.
Love how Babu was cheering along with them during the sacrifice. Not sure whose side he was on. 🤣
😂😂
Totally agree with Babu. Amrish Puri's Mola Ram couldn't have been played nearly as well by anyone else. He was iconic in that role.
He loved it. He kept the shaved head look
Best villian of the series! Such a great actor. Harrison Ford said he loved working with Amrish.
It was nice to see how Babu reacted to Amrish Puri. Proud of his fellow countryman
Amrish loved the way his head looked and adopted it for the rest of his film career

Not to mention when _Everything, Everywhere, All at Once_ (which they should react to at some point) won Best Picture both Ke Huy and Harrison reunited once more.
But overall in my unpopular opinion I enjoyed this one more than Last Crusade. Also it’s awesome that Babu was able to recognize Amrish Puri as Mola Ram cause he was a very well-known famous actor in India.
As long as its one of the first tree im happy enough.
That was the critics reaction which you're mistakenly applying to indy fans
@@MrGenedancingmachine But the Indy Die-Hards also had mixed reception and prefer Last Crusade and the first film over Temple of Doom and the fourth and fifth film
@@MrGenedancingmachine Besides, Critics (film critics) reception for the fourth film was slightly positive than the fans (especially the Indy Die-Hards who loved the first three films) were mixed to negative.
I love how unintentionally hilarious this movie is.
Its a comedy’s its very intentional 😂
@@winwinmilieudefensie7757 Even when it tries to be serious its funny
@@Seek1878 I would venture to say that the writers/filmmakers are fully aware of how outlandish it all is and recognize that its over-the-top nature can be found funny by some. This series, more than anything else, is supposed to be FUN. Tbh, there's very few moments in this film one could even argue are trying to be serious moments. Perhaps Indy becoming possessed (which I can see someone perhaps finding humorous/too campy) and the emotional exchange between Shorty and Indy (which I think definitely hits the mark, emotionally). Other than those two moments, it's kind of wall-to-wall bonkers action, gross-out moments, and comedy gags.
About the banquet - you can tell Babu and Raeen that evil people in palace do evil things (like human sacrifice) so their dinner is not an ordinary dinner but it is perverted , strange. I know that in western countries knowledge about indian cousine is low and this scene was supposed to be funny but when watched their reaction i think this explanation would be better for them. Greetings from Poland!
It’s shorthand for evil rich. Roman and French aristocracy would eat ridiculous and elaborate food made from animals no one would ever normally eat. It’s an example of decadence.
It's also, I think, an homage to orientalism and their views of the mysical east as a place filled with strange stories.
@@00Kuja00 Its been mentioned elsewhere in the comments section but originally Indy notes that regular Hindu people dont eat stuff like that and "Something is....very wrong here". The line was cut and only ended up in a kids autio book format. Of course it also might have been cut because Indy said the line wrong and erroneously said "hindus dont eat meat" instead but ti was an earnest attempt by Hollywood half a century ago
@@TrollCapAmerica He does mention in the film "these are not hindus". But hinduism is a very complex religion, I have a masters in history of religions.
@@TrollCapAmerica most hindus at that time wouldn't have eaten meat at that time since it would be a luxury food for rural hindus. Even now fully vegetarian is dominant in a lot of areas or its the majority of their eating.
Raheens first reaction is Always-they will die now. As Babu reminds him, you don't kill the hero in the first few min. of the movie.
Amrish Puri ... One of the best Indian actor to play bad guys like in the movie Gandhi!!!
Hehe, I think Babu would make a great movie villain, too :D
Well, it was way less "cringe" than I expected. I'm very happy that they enjoyed it, and I'm looking forward for the third part.
I really hope you'll show them Conan the Barbarian soon. The atmosphere of the sacrifice scene in Temple of Doom always reminds me of the snake tower in Conan the Barbarian. I guess this type of atmosphere is somewhat iconic for adventure or fantasy movies of that era.
Their faces during the feast 😮 🤦♂️ 😐 😕 😑 😣 😱
No wonder. The fantasy dishes were absolutely vile!🤣I had completely forgotten how bad that was.
The actor who played the kid reunited with Harrison Ford recently
1. Many folks don't care for this one very much but I do. It's all kinds of fun.
2. Just a small suspension of belief regarding the lifeboat drop out of the plane, and the coal car landing perfectly on the tracks.
3. IRL Ford could fly that plane.
4. When I was in the US Navy I got to eat monkey (but not monkey brains) and tasted dog in the Philippines.
5, Shortround is "Billy Badass"
6. Disneyland already has a "Temple of the Lost Ark" so another one of the ride through
the tunnel/mine would be cool too. Assuming you can still afford it.
7. The guy that gets crushed is the same actor that played the guy that gets wacked by the propellor in "Raiders of the lost ark".
8. Kate Capshaw got the Willie gig because she was dating and later became
Spielberg's wife.
3. Well I mean it was the 90's before he took up flying again, it was too expensive for him in the 60's when he took some flight training courses. Also fly yes, land no (unless there's a nearby golf course)
2. I remember when Crystal Skull came out, and some people were saying it wasn't as good because of all the supernatural/unbelievable stuff. I was like, did you watch the first three, faces melted, hearts pulled out, non-survivable falls, live forever.
2. Oddly enough, Mythbusters did a test of the lifeboat fall and surprisingly... with some luck, it can kinda work, sort of. So not completely out of the realm of plausibility.
The coal car though would be a complete dice throw... but still it could happen.
I'm pleased they enjoyed the movie. This was the first Indy movie I saw back in the 80s. And it got me hooked. 🤠
Thought you guys have already seen this Indy franchise long ago, but glad that you guys enjoyed the Indian themes in this Hollywood film! 🌴🇮🇳
Ever since I started following/subscribed I wondered if they’d do this film. I am so glad they got to view it. Babu had me cracking up. Their summary of the film was very good.
Well, this will be..... interesting.
God bless you, gentleman. I love seeing someone who knows how to experience a movie.
Thanks for the translations of what they were saying in the movie.
I often wondered.
yes most of it is real Hindi. Its been translated for decades.
This reaction made me so happy. I love their enthusiasm for movies! I agree that Amrish Puri gives a tremendous performance. I am looking forward to watching more reactions. 😊
Short-round just won an Oscar
Oh, I've been waiting for this one for cultural reasons! THANKS!!!
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom was shot in Sri Lanka, China, the United States, and England. Filming locations included Blue Canyon and Coal Mine Canyon in Arizona, University of the Pacific and Hamilton Air Force Base in California, Kandy in Sri Lanka. Filming also took place at Elstree Film Studios in England.
my personal favorite indiana jones movie, short round number 1!!
Another great video! Could i suggest The Princess Bride for a watch, its another great film.
Cant wait for them to watch the last crusade
I would be interested to see their reaction to the film ‘Everything, Everywhere, All At Once’, and to knowing that this kid, Ke Huy Quan, grew up from being Short Round to being Waymond.
WHEN WILL LAST CRUSADE BE ACKNOWLEDGED
A movie you may want to consider is The Deceivers; a 1988 adventure film directed by Nicholas Meyer, starring Pierce Brosnan, Shashi Kapoor and Saeed Jaffrey. The film is based on the 1952 John Masters novel of the same name regarding the murderous Thuggee of India.
Babu & Raeen are golden together! Glad they got to watch another Indiana movie. I would love to see the gang react to movies based in India like Slumdog Millionaire, Lion, Gandhi please.
When they land after the plane crash, your comment about how the scene didn't represent where your country. This is how many Americas feel about how they represent America in movies. Of course, this is supposed to by 1935 (or something like that) so it was long ago. Still, I appreciate your comments.
This would have British India which also included Pakistan and some other areas
To think that little kid grew up, and did "Everything, Everywhere, Al at Once" with one of the greatest Martial Artists in movies as the lead
You must watch The Last Crusade! Great father/son dynamic with Sean Connery. 🤠
I want them to watch Jumanji (the old version only!) and after that Zathura ⭐😼👍
The Kali maa scene is iconic, I still remember it 35 years later.
My second favorite Indiana Jones movie. Cool to see such a unique perspective on it
Considering this has been numerous times he’s said helicopter instead of plane, I’m wondering if there was a translation error some time ago that created this confusion. Like how some languages have multiple words for snow, so when we say snow, we are being incorrect
its why he and her is often confused in the subtitles
Very good.If adventure has name,its name is Indiana Jones!
I'm glad they liked the movie.
"Mmmmm!!! SNAKE SURPRISE!!" 😋
"Chilled monkey brains" my favourite
@@DarknessIsThePath Oh yeah!! With Ritz crackers!! 🤣
I finally learned that Indians don’t eat pregnant snakes and monkey brains.
I liked that they translated many of the lines in Hindi that I always remembered but never knew what they were saying.
And Babu has good musical rhythm.
Snakes and monkey are believed to be kind of holy animal like ancient Egyptian and cats also 30% of indian are vegetarian india has biggest population of vegetarians in the world
It’s definitely interesting to see their reactions to this movie. I’m glad they take it so well, and that they clarify things for us. Regardless of the intent, the stereotyping in this movie is pretty bad. Other commenters had mentioned a deleted scene where in Indy remarks that the feast was weird and that no Hindu would eat those things. They really should’ve left that in.
When it comes to the Banquet scene I think Amrish Puri (who plays Mola Ram) put it best
"it's based on an ancient cult that existed in India and was recreated like a fantasy. If you recall those imaginary places like Pankot Palace, starting with Shanghai, where the plane breaks down and the passengers use a raft to jump over it, slide down a hill and reach India, can this ever happen? But fantasies are fantasies, like our Panchatantra and folklore. I know we are sensitive about our cultural identity, but we do this to ourselves in our own films. It's only when some foreign directors do it that we start cribbing."
It would be really cool to see them react to videos about how movies are made
Someone get Babu a Cole Porter CD, NOW
When will 3rd movie be watched????
KALIMARRRR, BABU! KALIMARRR!!
Jai maa Kali
Jai maa tara (another name for Kali)
(I am atheist but who cares)
Please react to “The Princess Bride”! I think the reactors would love it.
The Indian scenes in this movie were actually filmed in Sri Lanka.
Hope they check out Apocolypto at some point.....maybe a bit violent....but I think they've seen enough so far that it wouldn't bother them too much.
The man that booked them on the plane full of chickens is Dan Aykroyd.
it's always weird watching a movie shot in your home country, isn't it?
Poor Babu: ‘I will defecate if I see such scenes.’ Ironically, though, now he knows what it feels like being a regular dude at a modern American cinema.
Has anyone broke the news to them that Indiana is a US State?
No it isn't, it's a dog. o7
@@YogiBhoy78The same malamute that was inspiration for Chewbacca😊
@@Jim-Mc The very same that was the inpriration for the inspirarion for Chewie, the Yorkshire Terrier my son got for me 😅o7
Spielberg had asked his casting people to get Puri, he had heard of him and wanted the best villain they could get.
I was waiting for Andrew Zimmern to show up in the feast scene 😂
I must admit I was a little worried Babu and Raeen would be confused and a little offended by certain aspects of the film's plot largely involving Indian culture. We all know there are many inaccuracies. But they understand it's just a fictional adventure movie and I'm very glad they enjoyed it. 1984, what an awesome year for movies. This is one of my all time favorite movies of my generation. I remember seeing this in a movie theater in 1984 with my mum and her friend when I was 10 years old. The feast at Pankot Palace had everyone gasping in horror and laughter, it was hilarious. I even had the LP album read-along.🙏🤍
I saw this whenever I was probably about 7- I was horrified during the feast and asked my mother if people eat the things they were showing. She said “Idk what’s going on. You’d get weird diseases from eating stuff like that, These people have something wrong with them.” 😂 that became much more apparent to me during the sacrifice scene.
@@darla896 hahaha Yeah the feast scene with the snake surprise and monkey brains was horrific and funny. I remember baby sitting my younger cousin and her sister, this movie was on tv and although they insisted on watching it they got pretty freaked out even though they were only a few years younger than me. I put on some WB Cartoon videos for them so they could get to sleep. The sacrifice scene is what tipped them over the edge I think.😂
Oh boy this is gonna be.... Interesting 😂
I too was waiting for this ever since they watched Raiders!! 🤣
Oh boy, _here we go!_
19:11 Raeen getting his Chewie impression down.
Last Crusade please! In fact show them ALL the Indiana Jones films. Crystal Skull and Dial of Destiny too!
I remember my mom hating this installment because of that lady’s incessant screaming.
Same with my mom! She hated this movie (for the screaming stupid lady) and loved the other two ^^
These were supposed to be Shanghai, China and India near the Himalayas in 1935, 12 years before independence and the partitioning.
Roshan Seth, who played the Pankot Prime Minister, said the dinner scene was intended to be simultaneously a joke the Pankot people were playing on what they believed was the ignorance of their guests about the culture of India, but also a hint something is very wrong with the people of the palace. Also, what Temple of Doom portrays is more a caricature of how Westerners imagine India, the same way the Indiana Jones series and similar adventure stories of the early 20th century portray various cultures as how Westerners imagined them. However, because some of the shots and lines that made that more readily obvious were cut, many people interpreted it as disrespectful of Indian culture, and this film was considered the least well regarded of these first 3 movies.
Seth said in a later commentary that this film really established Amrish Puri's fame for playing villains, that after this film, he always kept his head shaved and continued to play every major bad guy in Indian cinema for years. (Mola Ram definitely left a deeply intimidating impression in my childhood memory and this is the only film I've ever seen him in..!)
Indiana Jones is indeed also Han Solo from Star Wars, well spotted!
Oh boy, I have been waiting for this...
"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", please.
A boring movie despite it's great title! Suggest watching The Mummy, Goonies or the Man who would be King for them.
@@jettser17UK They already watched the Goonies... Maybe instead of calling movies boring, pay more attention..
Amazing idea! And so they'd watch something non-western and in another language apart from English ^^
@@jettser17UK they did the Mummy on the patreon in July of last year
So offensive that the government of india refused to let them film it there
You guys need to do The Rocketeer...
Baby and Raeen to react to gremlins!!!!!!
Gizmo Gaga!
for the film they did want to shoot the palace scenes at the real pankot palace in Janpur, India, but sadly they weren't allowed to. most of the film was done in sri lanka and sound stages in england. the dinner scene was over exaggerated on purpose. if you get to watch the making of the film steven and george talk about to his alot. there was a certain style they were going for like from the 30's and 40's films . the film gets darker to represent the divorce george lucas was going through and his pain etc. and after star wars epi 4 came out epi 5 empire strikes back was darker at the end of it too and george explained this to spielberg and he went with it. it's the film that got the pg 13 rating made; spielberg asked the rating guy to create it.
“I have never seen human sacrifices like this”.
So, what have you seen?
babu had an absolute blast upon seeing the great Mr. Amrish Puri.
1:14 He is always interested in fabrics, tailoring and clothing like in a professional way. He works in that industry?
27:22 no words
And aren't the other films scandalous for Russians, Egyptians, Germans, etc.?
Yes, it's as cliché as possible, but Indiana Jones is just an adventure film. But also a satyr of old films at the time where each indy is located: that's why in 1 and 3, we have the ark and the grail with na*is, the story takes place in the 40s. In the 50s were the Russians and the myth of aliens.
Indiana Jones 2 takes place in the 20s, early 30s and at the time, these were exotic myths, with the natives seen by the whites of the time with all the clichés that ensued.
Crazy, fucking granddad.
They should watch Ghostbusters
i like how the dark magic kept him alive enough to burn
I would HIGHLY recommend ‘Million Dollar Arm’ to my friends. It’s the story of bringing two Indian boys to America to have them become Major League Baseball pitchers.
My friends here will find the same actor who played the villain in this, only he’s a good guy.
it was filmed in California Sri Lanka and China
16:17 food's up! Let's see what they make of it.
I think they enjoyed the film 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏
