I love that key hey Quan is getting the recognition he deserves and no longer being type casted but I love short round
However! We need more short round, but it is definitely probably too late. He should have been in either of the last 2 movies. I guess Lucasfilm will have to make a short round tv series instead
I mean... even in Everything, Everywhere, All at Once, he was a clever Asian sidekick who was good at martial arts.
Like you say, I'm thrilled to see him getting recognition and love, he deserves it, but he's still a little bit type-casted. I don't think that's necessarily a negative thing, though. Dwayne Johnson is ALWAYS an action hero, and he's doing just fine, you're not about to see him playing a lawyer in a court procedural drama. And that's fine
He was and is my favorite from the Goonies.
Honestly, i have no idea why people crap on this one its goddamn great. The food scene people get iffy about like.. This is a cult, basically hindu satanists haha hence the dead animal on his head. Its not stereotyping just shlock
@@cleverusername9369..? Short round wasnt good at martial arts hahah..the only commonality is hes Asian in both films haha, and i mean, of course
Temple of Doom may be the weirdest, but it definately has a lot of really cool things about it. Like Shortround, Indy with the ripped sleeve shirt, mind control, Sankar Stones, etc.
A lot of people dislike Kate Capshaw "Willie" for her screaming but i find it completely funny i love it!
You’re so right about the ripped shirt!
What I love is the position this movie takes in Indy’s character arc. This is the next event after his childhood experience with the Cross of Coronado. His father ignores him, so he takes up the mantle of the bandit, and not just the leather jacket and fedora, but the white coat and red flower of the guy he eventually takes the cross from as an adult. His cynicism and abandonment issues led him to become the man he hated as a boy. “It belongs in a museum”, turns into, “Fortune and glory”. In Temple he fights the devil in the underworld to redeem his soul, a fight he repeats in Raiders by fighting his darker self embodied in Belloq, which concludes in Last Crusade when his father finally acknowledges him - the one thing that he wanted from the beginning. He’s finally gotten his fathers recognition and validation. That’s more important than the Grail, the Ark, or any fortune and glory. Which is why he rides into the sunset at the end, and that there’s only three Raiders movies.
That's a good assessment, except Temple of Doom is not the next adventure after Utah 1912. Young Indiana Jones Chronicles show college student Indy on all sorts of adventures. It is also impliable from the whole franchise that Indy's entire life was one nonstop adventure to the next.
@@vnchronicler5358 the TV show, like the later movies, are parasitic to the original trilogy. It can stand alone, and represent the original vision for the character, while they cannot. Feel free to consider then but, as you rightly point out, they screw things up by existing. So I don’t bother considering them.
@@vnchronicler5358 "It is also impliable from the whole franchise that Indy's entire life was one nonstop adventure to the next."
I totally agree. He hated his students so probably spent very little time teaching.
I lost my mum earlier this year to cancer...I remember my mum and dad watching this movie in the living room and chasing us all to bed, insisting that the movie was too 'grown-up' for the kids. Of course the kids all watched it while they were out of the house anyway...but this made me remember her once again. Thanks Eric for this deep dive. 😊
Sorry for your loss.
As an Asian kid, Short round was me.. I got to see it in the theaters.. I remember just absorbing it all in, it was non stop action, just one thing after another an super funny and graphic with the heart pull and all… the movie was so much larger than life.. It really turned me into a dreamer wanting to go on adventures and I could see a world outside my small little hometown.
Temple of Doom is my favourite Indiana Jones adventure, and probably one of my favourite films of all time. I'm almost certain it was one of the first films I ever watched, back around 1987/88. It blew my mind at the young age of 5/6, and still gives me that great nostalgia we all look for to appreciate as we get older. My son showed me this channel, thanks for the video!
Same here
Me too
Yep, this one was always special to me because I was 7 when it was released in theaters. I could barely remember Raiders because I was only 4 when we saw that, but this one was so thrilling. Same with Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. I barely remembered seeing Empire but was utterly blown away by Jedi. Great memories.
The fact that all the uptight weirdos hate it so much only makes me love it more
10:25 "Fortune and Glory" is the main drive for Indy and his fellow grave robbing, temple running, artifact seekers. Most are in it for the fortune, but Indy is more in that glory category. "This belongs in a museum!" Just like in the intro to Crusade, you see part of Indy's drive is the pride and glory of discovery. To be the one who finds the treasures and fills the musems. One of the things that makes me love Temple is that Indy has the strength to give up glory to help people.
Surprised you did this one! I loved this movie as a kid. My brothers and I would run around trying to rip each other’s hearts out shouting “Kali-maaaaa!!”
So much fun. The mine cart scene is classic, the “fortune and glory”, the dinner scene, the fight on the ladder, the elephants. What an adventure!!!
This was a great movie, even if it’s dark and scary (and insensitive).
My brother and I did the same thing! 😂
I could swear that there was a 1950's Carl Barks Donald Duck comic book story set in the Andes where he and his nephews had to escape a flooded mine in virtually the same way Indy et al did in Temple of Doom.
This was the first Indiana Jones movie for me too! My cousin played it for me to scare me but accomplished the opposite since I loved it and made me an instant fan of the franchise. And yes, in my mind I also remember seeing the heart pulling scene.
My elementary school showed this and Raiders of the Lost Ark for Movie Day, back in the mid-80s. They hired a movie projector 📽️ using actual film reels that had to be changed. I wouldn't be surprised if the heart pulling scene was shown then. Also, as a child, I was definitely traumatized by both movies lol
This was the only Indy film I had on VHS as a kid so for me this was the standard. It was always my favorite and only learned as an adult that people actually didn’t like it lol
I used to watch this with my dad on VHS recorded from a TV showing of it. I loved the opening scene, short round driving the car, them jumping out the plane, being grossed out by the dinner, being fascinated with all the stunts and the happy ending. I lost my dad in 2018, so this is one of the movies that reminds me of him 🥲. Thank you for all the Deep Dives and Rockstars that you do!
Totally love your takes on this film.
When I was a kid, I really looked up to Short Round as an empowering figure. In a lot of films then, even Spielberg films, the filmmakers produce drama by putting kids at the mercy of strong adults. Short Round was in there side by side with Indy.
These days, I like seeing how Indy evolves from a cutthroat “fortune and glory” treasure hunter to a hero.
Best kid character
One thing I love in this film is what I call the "travelling music" - the cue you hear when they first climb up on the elephants and set off for the palace. The variations John Williams uses for it are also amazing.
Great video. This is actually my personal favorite of the series. I have the most fun re-watching it, and it's got the absolute best hero moments for Indy. The opening scene is spectacular, and the finale on the bridge is probably the best conceived final showdown I've ever seen for a Hero. What's a better tough spot to put the good guys in then in the middle of a dangerous rope bridge with bad guys on each side? But most importantly, it gives Indy the biggest arc (with a c) that he gets throughout the entirety of the series. He starts off as a pretty unscrupulous grave robber whose only concerns are fortune and Glory, and ends as a man that risks everything he has to save children he doesn't know, and understands that honoring a culture's traditions are more important than money and fame. The relationship he has with Short Round is the single most loving relationship he has with any character throughout all of the movies. And people love the whine about Willie but she is the absolute perfect foil to the selfish man that he is in the beginning. There's a reason we never see her again, he outgrew her.
Thank you Eric for showing appropriate respect when explaining Kali. I imagine this film is the only reference they may know. Maybe now someone curious will give a wiki a look. Thanks.
This movie was my favorite of the three growing up, and I think Ke Huy Quan/Short Round goes a long way to help with that. It gave me someone to relate to, and added a sense of fun to the film (the mine cart chase was always my favorite, it looked so fun) which is ironic, considering how dark this movie is remembered as being.
I too, was a chosen dad for Indiana Jones's Stunt Spectacular. My daughter was 4. She's 28 now and she still remembers that day. The sound guy even put a demonic laughter over mine.
My daughter was beyond impressed. Thank you for bringing that memory back to me.
Cheers
My dad had the VHS of this and the first movie, so to me it is something I grew up with. It was just an awesome tale, and the fact that there was a kid in it made me feel like I could have taken part it something that epic. The tape of ToD was the censored version of the movie. I did not get to see the heart being pulled or the big guy being crushed. Both were obviously so implied that nothing was really lost, but it was still fun seeing it YEARS later. My dad had told me that it was supposed to be there thus my young curiousity spun out of control, so finally seeing it was like a childhood dream coming true. I love this movie.
I remember going to the arcade as a kid and playing a Temple of Doom game where you had to navigate the mine cart along the tracks.
It was very similar to the mine cart level in Donkey Kong County for the SNES.
Growing up in the 90s, I somehow ended up watching this movie twice as much as the others. It reminds me of time spent with my older brother.
"Indy, let's get out of here."
"Right, all of us."
The slow reveal from the light of the minecart and John Williams' soundtrack...gets me every time.
And I always thought Indy was more interested in the treasure for himself but had a change of heart throughout the film. When he gets the stones, he's ready to leave. But he hears the kids and decides to save them. Great character development.
I love that you’re doing these, Eric. I appreciate your love for film and the details in films. Deep Dive is awesome! I love the first 3 Indy movies and Crystal Skull was ok. I will be watching Dial of Destiny. The character of Indiana Jones(and the charm of Harrison Ford) made me fall in love with these and I’ll always love them.I’ve also watched the coal mining car scene about a million times.
The opening of this movie is one of my favorites ever. It’s so fun and over the top, the dancing, the fighting, Short Round driving them away. It’s so great. Can’t wait for your vid covering the third movie!
Watching Temple of Doom for the first time while sitting on a huge car hood at a drive in theater was one of the happiest memories of my childhood. It'll always be one of my favorite Indy movies.
This movie scared me as a child. The dinner scene made me nauseous and then I would have to close my eyes by the time they were pulling out hearts. Great analysis, Voss! I always learn something new from these deep dives. Keep up the good work!
The first scene of Indiana Jones I ever saw was the rope bridge scene when I came into the living room and my dad was watching it on cable! I remember later getting the movies on VHS at WalMart, and the box set also including a few episodes of Young Indiana Jones.
Temple, Raiders, Last Crusade, Crystal Skull, they all have a place in my filmdom. The chase sequences are some of the best and original across many genres, an Indy staple. Indys lust for adventure is always overshadowed by the love for his friends; and even when he makes the sacrifice play to save his friends (to seemingly lose to the villains) and family he never gives up on his ultimate goal.
My dad and I have always enjoyed watching the Indy movies together. He showed me the first three, then we watched to fourth in the theater, and soon he'll be in town to visit and we'll watch the fifth! I think there's always been a connection to us in those movies, whether to Indy and Short Round, Indy and his father, or Indy and Mutt. I think we see our relationship somewhere in those movies. We have bonded a lot over them. Thanks for these breakdowns! Can't wait for the next two before Dial of Destiny!!
As a kid, I didn’t (or I felt I didn’t) stand out to my dad. He was a drill sgt and very much a manly man. I kinda saw him as like Indiana Jones. He even had an Indiana Jones style hat that he wore all the time. I even still remember how it smelled! He was always watching sports on TV and I wasn’t really into it. This ws one of the few movies that we could watch together and get excited about. We lived in the middle of nowhere and all I really had were VHS tapes. We only got 3 channels on TV… So, it was a bit difficult to find entertainment. I remember my dad bought me the picture book of this movie (and yes… it was for kids… and yes it had the nipple shot). I just have fond memories of the movie. For us, it was a simple action movie we could watch together. Thank you, Erik Voss for showing it some love!
The Indiana Jones Trilogy just makes me happy. I feel myself having fun watching them. The hair on my arms stands up when his theme is played.
I love Indiana Jones, I love Erik, and I love this channel.
It’s crazy how Quan and Fords relationship is still going on! It’s so adorable! ❤
As a little boy, Temple of Doom was apart of my regular film rotation alongside Raiders of the Lost Ark.
While we had Raiders on VHS, our copy had of ToD was recording from and HBO “free weekend”. Coincidentally Goonies was also recorded from that same weekend. I lived vicariously through Ke Huy Quan in both films.
I’d play both Indy and Short Round as a kid. As I pretend fight alongside them upon my many MANY rewatches.
One of my favorite memories was when I was four, I used a small cooler bag as Indy’s bag and I’d put small building blocks in them as the Shankara Stones. I would reenact the bridge scene by dangling my bag off the side of the living room couch.
Great timing! I just watched this last night, what a classic!! Strangely, as I was watching it, I made note of most of the same things that were pointed out in this video. I think this channel has changed my movie-viewing brain.
Great video. :) one small thing. You mention that this movie starts with a scene that is the “first time Spielberg shot a musical sequence.”
There are actually many musical numbers of great complexity in “1941” which premiered in 1979. :)
Yo Eric - these Deep Dives (all...) are truly well done.. I watch them and get moved by how you portray the sentiments that are often overlooked. Bravo!!
I remember watching that scene for the first time as a kid and thought that I shouldn't be watching it, BUT I COULDNT LOOK AWAY! I was probably 4 or so and still love it now.
One of my favorite movies as a kid. Also seen from my parents taping it. Also had a jacket and pretended to be Indiana Jones. Thanks for the deep dive!
I always viewed this movie as Indy learning that there is more to treasure hunting and archaeology than his own fortune and glory. It's my OG "the real treasure was the friends we made along the way."
When you mentioned vcr recording off the tv brought so many memories of how my family use to watch these movies... Thank you...
Hope you continue through all 4 movies!!
This was so excellent. Thank you Erik, I look forward to more Deep Dives!
For me.. this movie was so important, it was THE Indiana Jones movie growing up, it was on tv it was beyond fun it was a glorious insanely exciting world.. it sparked my imagination. As kids we would go in family holiday to Devon (the West Country in England) and a pub that our family would go to had the Indiana Jones and the temple of doom arcade game in the back. Playing on that was a sold childhood memory. For me this film was the best, the same way return of the Jedi was the best Star Wars film and Jaws IV was the best jaws movie.. I still have endless love for this movie. Loving this channel btw!
what lights me up is watch You break films down. so thank you.
The shot where Indy punches the guard from of screen and he slides across the ground line he was tossed by a bear is my all time favorite shot in film.
Amazing!!!! Well done… now I want to watch again!
I always laugh when mola ram does that weird laugh as he rolls away , just hear indy running up to him “MOLA RAAAAAM”
i love that you are going through these movies
This was the first film my dad took me to see when I was seven. It scared me but I enjoyed it just a much as I do now. Miss you dad.
What good timing, I just rewatched this movie for the first time in years last night!!!! Love the breakdown
This was a great analysis!
This was my favorite movie as a kid. My dad wasn't around so watching indi and short round always made me so happy
This movie reminds me of my 10th birthday. I went to my cousin's house and we all fought over the Indy poster my Aunt got. Me, my Brother and my two cousins spent ao much time together watching this movie, its kind of an anthem for us.
This is corny but you asked for it with your heartfelt love for this movie. This is why I love it. My brother was six years older than me. He treated me like all big brothers do at some point, bossing me around, trying to act important and all knowing. Acting like his younger brother was something he had to suffer through. We use to watch the trilogy on VHS. The first time I watched this movie I was seven, and the heart scene scared the living hell out of me. My brother was next to me and he saw that I was scared, and he put his arm around me. I looked at him towering over me and he had a wary Indiana half smile. He left his arms there till I laughed again a few minutes later and he pushed me away. Lol that’s what makes me hold a special place in my heart for this treasure of a movie
One of my favorite all time movies. My late mum loved this movie the most out of all the Indiana Jones movies, reminds me so much of her
Thank you for Deep Diving into my childhood Eric, keep them coming..
This is my FAVORITE Indiana Jones movie. I remember watching the making of this film when I was a kid, so many models and miniatures. Cool stuff, I gotta find that doc
What an interesting similarity to me: my father recorded ToD from an ABC tv re-airing and that VHS was one of the only major movies I had as a little kid so I watched it a lot. Raiders I wouldn't see until much later. So, to me, ToD is quintessential Indy viewing and I don't have any negative feelings about it. Later, Temple would help me accept KotCS because a lot of the campy, over the top nature of the gags (fridge, vine swinging) I didn't see as quite so crazy due to the mine carts and the heart pulling. No complaints, a lot of heart, and a good movie in the Indy collection.
I too watched this one first when my family recorded it off the TV onto video in England one Christmas. Then I proceeded to watch the heck out of it for years and have it on in the background while I threw myself up and down the stairs as Indi escaping some grave danger, (at least in my head). What I never realised is that, in England at least, films were often trimmed down slightly to have a slightly shorter run time, maybe to take up less of the TV schedule. So it wasn’t until many many years later, when watching the re-released DVD trilogy, that I realised this, e.g. when Indi pauses on the rope bridge at the end, it is longer in the DVD than my ancient TV recording.
Your deep dives are my new favorite watch.
Thanks for all the details. Love from Belgium 🇧🇪 ❤
So much of my good memories of my father are tied to watching movies. And all I could do through the whole video was think about my father and smile.
With the new film coming out, there’s been a ton of videos going over Temple of doom. Even my fav channel RLM, but yours is the best. The enthusiasm for possibly my fav film was so nice to see. It really is refreshing to see channels still celebrating film instead of waiting to tear them down. Temple of doom for me is easily my favourite, the score, the set pieces and the subtleties. Of course it’s problematic, and alot of creative choices made in the film, do leave a unpleasant taste. The heart ripping scene, I remember seeing that at the cinema in the Uk and it freaked me out, and that was when it was heavily edited. Only recently did I see the full uncut sequence and I think if I had have seen that when I was 8 I would have been scarred for life! Anyway, great video, I’ve subbed and I’ll look forward to more.
This is the movie that made me fall in love with Indiana Jones. I still take it over Raiders of the Lost Ark.
I first saw this movie on the ABC airing on March 17, 1991, and it showed the heart removal scene uncut.
I did the same thing with indiana jones as a kid . haha and watched jaws with my grandma and all those first wave movies ... lovee all these deep dives these are your masterpieces! please never stop making them ...thanks to the entire crew.. I recently just found out about the Alien 3 Assembly cut from 2003 have you all watched all the versions i think another released in 2011 ? ITs totally worthy of a deep dive ( also as a great making of and commentary tracks) also some good you tube comparisons.. also also aaamazing score ... you're like yea we are a week away from finishing the editing on that one haha ... but really cool re visit and like I bet so many its amazing how much TBS and TNT edited everything as kids but played stuff over and over ... like.. when i finally saw Blues Brothers in the theater ... I was in awe of how much they swore haha ... and im nerding out have a great one ! also James Cameron is releasing The Abyss in 4k the first Terminator aswell.. the editorial flow itself is still of a rhythmic flow that seems ahead of its time ..
The mine car sequence was phenomenal! As a kid, I. Used to ride my bike along a hilly path and pretend I was in the mine car with Indie, Willie, and Short Round.
We must be the same age because my experience watching Temple first was identical then going to Indiana Jones stunt show in '92. The heart, and dinner scenes still brings back that first time shock and awe
And those three lines on the Shankara stone now opens a menu on every website. Thanks Indy!
The Lego video game version of the opening for this movie remains one of my favorite childhood memories
As an early teenager (12 to 15) I used to watch the first Indy trilogy and the Get Smart show with my dad all the time on cable. Then in 2008 (I was 17) with new movies from both franchises coming out, my dad bought me full DVD box sets of both franchises. Such a great time for both of us.
Now my dad has mental health issues and paranoia, but I bought a smile to his face by inviting him to see Indy 5.
Dude, there are so many shows on RUclips like this, but yours is actually good. 👍
I'm 42 and this was my first Indiana Jones movie. Don't remember where I actually watched the movie but the feeling of being awestruck still remains to this day.
My first Indy experience too! And I still have a lot of love for it. Great breakdown as ever!
I've always loved this movie. I was in 4th grade when it hit theaters. I remember playing the arcade game at the local 7-11 where you can have Indy whip the hell outta people, rescue kids and ride the rails in the mine.
Rewatching this after their touching reunion just make me so happy. My first film was Raiders and I watched it with my Dad which helped develop my love for Indy.
Erik, thank for doing a Deep Dive into my favorite Indiana Jones movie. I’ve loved Temple of Doom since it was released in theaters and have rewatched it at least yearly. I also introduced my kids to it when they were younger, and they enjoyed it, as well. Without Short Round, and the way he was played by Ke Huy Quan, I don’t think the movie would be as good as it is.
There's also a cut line from the dinner scene where Indy says "A devout Hindu would never eat meat, makes you wonder just what those people are" and it would've served as foreshadowing
These breakdowns make me love these movies even more!
The bridge scene will always be one of my favourite scenes
Movie are to me what music is ti most people. My parents really understood that and this was one of the first movies I was allowed to stay up past my bed time to watch. I too had that sensation of "seeing " the heart pull, even though it was edited out of the TV version- the suspense, the music and the actors made me believe. Btw, the shot of the dead monkey through the fan in Raiders is an image burned into my brain, still haunts me!😂 Thanks so much for doing these deep dives!🥰👏🥳
This was my first Indiana Jones movie. Actually used the lifeboat taking from the plane scene later in a school music class when we had to analyse music in movies.
Temple of Doom is my favorite Indy movie and I don’t care what anyone says! I think it helped ignite my love of Horror films and all things spooky - the movie literally like watching a carnival spook house and dark ride combo!
As a kid, I was obsessed with all things Indiana Jones…I, too, had a brown leather (faux?) jacket and even a real bullwhip that I’d tie to things and try and swing from….it’s a wonder I never broke any bones! 😂. Anytime I’d come across a suspension bridge, I’d wanna run across it, jump on it, or climb over the side of it and hang off it…as I did many times on the one at the park in my hometown. 😂
Great video…always nice to see some Temple of Doom love!
Fantastic vid, I watched Temple first as a 10 year old Kid on german TV mostly uncensored. Please go on with you vids 🙂
Just saw the film yesterday with my son. We loved it, the darkness, the effects (always screaming 'green screen'), yet it is funny and non-stop action. Thanks for the deep dive. Next weekend we'll be watching The Last Crusade. Thanks Erik!
Solid video, great ending.
Born in ‘82, this one was always my favorite as a kid.
Another great Dive! I've been rewatching Indy as well and I've done it one at a time before these Dives come out. Onto The Last Crusade now! Hoping that the Deep Dive for that will come out before the new movie does, I'd assume yes.
I had no idea there was any controversy surrounding this movie, I always ignore the BS like that and will continue to do so, this movie always had its creepy scenes like the bugs, the weird food, the heart being pulled out, but it was still really good. Specifically with this movie it was nothing different than the feeling I got when I watched all the classic as a kid. Star Wars and Indiana Jones, just awesome memories watching them all.
I think, like you, this was my first Indy film (recorded on VHS). And that day forth, my dad would dig his fingers into my ribs and say, “watch his heart” as he dug.
When my dad was collecting movies the first movie that he ever owned was Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom it means so much to us
Thank you so much Eric! I was fortunate enough to save up and buy the indiana 3-pack on vhs from Wharehouse records back in the day. This movie is so sentimental to me, but now is so much more interesting now that I've really fallen in love with Indian history(shout out to Praveen Mohan!) They definitely did there homework and the "Kali ma"... Kali ma shop-te-de was iconic!
One of my favorite movies as a kid. Great Deep Dive.
I had the same experience as you as a kid! This film is the best movie to show when you’re teaching drama students about the suspended belief! When I watched it, I still don’t know why they haven’t made up a theme park ride for the mine chase scene because It looks amazing.
This was another reason my childhood was great. It was my introduction to Indiana Jones. Still my favorite Indy movie. Sad to see the legacy is coming to an end with Dial of Destiny. Thank you for the memories.
Like ur positive views on these great vids ❤❤❤ liked
This was the first Indy for me too as my dad taped it from the tv. Consequently it developed also to be my favourite.
The mine scene was the best as a kid that every roller coaster ride after that felt like it, especially Skull Island in 6 Flags.
That hat thing actually works for me too. I don't go dead-to-the-world-asleep, but I frequently use my Aussie Fedora (yes, mostly because of this movie) as a cover for my eyes too when I want to snooze while out and about. It works like a blind-fold to block our annoying light, and has a similar mental effect to that of wearing a blanket. Not to mention, it's way easier to have that around everywhere than it is an actual blanket. And more than a few people can attest to the fact that just using a blanket, even in the heat of summer, can help you sleep easier.
That hat, plus Crocodile Dundee's hat, are what got me so interested in Australian Culture in the first place, when I was just a youngin'. I also picked several of my winter coats to mimic the look of Dr. Jones throughout my life as well; as you mentioned in the other Deep Dive. Steve Irwin, an actual Australian instead of a movie-stereotype of one, was a welcome hero in my life as well, and was the first (and only, to date) celebrity I cried for when they died.
In the early 2000's me and my college roommates had a tradition inspired by Temple of Doom that you showcased here. Any time we were griping we would say in a high pitched Kate Capshaw voice "I hate dirty dishes...and I hate final projects...and I hate vacuuming..." Then we would always have to finish with, "...and I hate YOU (deep voice)!"
I remember growing up as a kid I would watch Mom's favorite movies with her on her birthday, always Indiana Jones & Star Wars
The reaction from Short Round and Willie after the heart pull was so accurate...Especially Short Round's jaw drop, lol
Definitely was scarred for life with the THOUGHT of the heart pull as a kid. Your videos on classics from growing up gives me light and happiness 😊
I think sometimes it's our imagination...not what we actually see, that is scarier. That can be good and bad.
