Short Round was one of those kids in movies that didn't suck and you actually enjoyed him being on screen.

“Hang on, lady. We’re going for a ride.” “Oh my God! Is he nuts?” “He no nuts. He crazy!” 🤣🤣🤣

1984 was a great year to be a kid. I got to see this, Gremlins, The Karate Kid and Ghostbusters in theaters.

My favorite film theory: the Indiana Jones movies are what Han dreamed while frozen in carbonite...

I may be annoying someone, but I think Minty looks better without sunglasses. Actually, that Indy hat looks really good on him. :)

"I'm not THAT easy!" "I'm NOT THAT EASY!" "I could've been your Greatest Adventure."

Loved it as a kid , still love it as an adult The Indiana Jones Trilogy will forever be a cinematic treasure

So if Temple of Doom was written while he was going through a nasty divorce, makes me wonder if the scene involving the guy's heart being tore out was a reference to his own heart being ripped out due to the divorce.

My god Minty you actually have eyes and not just sunnies welded to your face lol

Wow. First time I've seen Minty without his trademark sunglasses!

I think this is the first time I’ve seen Minty without his trademark sunglasses and I have to say he looks good!

I remember seeing this at eleven and all the "controversy" surrounding the rating. It wasn't the violence so much as the gore that got parents upset. There were stories of kids puking in theaters, passing out from the dinner scene, etc. but all I remembered was LOVING it with my friends watching it at a matinee...

“No time for love Dr. Jones!”

It’s amazing how adding a hat and removing sunglasses can change someone’s entire appearance. Maybe that whole Clark Kent glasses 🤓 disguise does make sense after all 🤔🤔🤔

Well done Minty! I didnt realize how bad a rap this received for the blood and guts. I was just very happy that they kept the series alive. The scene with the snakes, bugs, eyeball soup and chilled monkey brains was pretty awesome for shock value :)

A couple things, first: dude! you have eyes! Second, I agree with you, Temple of Doom was also my favorite Indiana Jones adventure. Kudos for getting it right!

Classic film temple of doom is my favorite of the series. The film give me a lot of joy as child and as adult. I definitely can rewatch this over again.

The mine cart chase is the main inspiration for a level of the first Donkey Kong Country game.

Short Round accidentally discovered that the fire could break the spell of Kali when he defended himself from the "evil" Indy.

I'm with Minty. Temple of Doom has been my favorite since I was a kid. It's action packed and is truly underrated. It's also the only Indiana Jones film where Indi's actions actually mattered. In Raiders, Last Crusade, and Crystal Skull the end would have been the same even without Jones. In Temple of Doom he recovers the stones and frees the children.

My favourite Indy movie. Would have been 5 when i first saw it on VHS. It was just perfect for a little boy with a growing sense of morbid curiosity. All the gross stuff and crazy bugs was just amazing to me.

Willie gets heat for being weak and wimpy but I related to her the most because she has a realistic reaction to all the crazy crap. I'd be screaming too.

Temple of DOOM and Star wars and Ghostbusters were my favs growing up as a young buck

This is my favorite channel of all time. You cover literally every movie I hold dear to my childhood.

I love that the club is called Obi-Wan in this movie

Short Round: "You call him Dr Jones doll!"

This was the Raiders movie we really needed. We saw him take on dark forces and when it was over it showed us how badd azz Indy is. ✊🏾

I’ve always liked Temple of Doom, but never fully appreciated it as I do as an adult. It’s an all around great movie and fits perfectly in the Indiana Jones TRILOGY.

Other than the date on screen, I can't see this being a prequel and didn't know until you mentioned it. It even has a callback in the 'knife to a gunfight' scene, only this time without a gun. It makes a point of being a callback by his look of "I've done this before." smugness before discovering it isn't a gun fight.

This is the Hollywood I remember, when someone got offended at your artistic vision, they didn’t give in to their demands, they just changed locations.

I've seen this movie heaps of times through my 45 years and I always forget that Dan Ackroyd is in the film. Then every time I watch it and he appears for his cameo, I'm "hey, that's Dan Ackroyd". I'm sure I'll forget again.

I watched this movie so many times on VHS I wore out the tape. This was and is one of my favorite films from the 80s. Good on ya Minty!

I love what you said about Short Round representing all us kids wanting to be a part of the adventure . That is exactly how I felt !!!!!!!!!!!!

My Mum and Dad took me to see it and I was so engrossed my Rollos melted in my hand!

I don't know about my favorite, but I did enjoy Temple of Doom. It was a sequel that dared to do something different yet still retained the uniquely Indy qualities. I especially loved the musical score again composed by John Williams.

OMG! Minty has eyes! I don't think I've ever seen him without glasses on. Temple of Doom was always my favorite too, mostly because of Short Round.

My 🧠 suddenly combusted from trying to process Minty without sunglasses 🕶.

The reason Willie and the dancers cover the opening title sequence was Mr. Lucas's way of sticking it to the Director's Guild who insisted the credits be shown at the beginning, something Mr. Lucas didn't like doing as it took away from being immersed in the world of the movie.

It’s actually the best one in the series. It’s a non-stop rollercoaster ride and extremely colourful fun. They don’t make them like this anymore. It was a massive hit in the cinemas and I remember friends going back again and again to see it. I’ve seen it many many times. Easily the best of the four movies.

I remember when you could get all 3 Jones movies from McDonald's in VHS format.

In school, we could choose a movie to watch on our birthday. I chose this and traumatized half my third grade class. Between monkey brains and heart ripping....

Fun fact: The large Thugee that ends up in the stone crusher was played by the late great Pat Roach (Who also got chopped up by an aeroplane propeller in ‘Raiders’). At the time he was also filming the first series of ‘Auf wiedersehn pet’ at the same studio, and would often arrive on the set of ‘Pet’ still in his Thugee makeup.

Didnt expect Minty to ditch the sunglasses. You look like a different person. Love the show.

My father let me and my cousin watch this movie when we were little kids back in the 80’s. My cousin’s mom (my aunt) was pretty annoyed with my dad for showing this movie to her son because of all the violence, but we both LOVED it. My father died several years ago and I will always love him for letting me watch crazy movies that, in retrospect, I was probably too young for but left indelible impressions that stuck with me and always kept pondering over. A great movie I love rewatching from time to time.

"Cover your heart!" Easily one of my favorite Indiana Jones movie

Indiana Jones part 1-3 were all great, but temple of doom has a special place for me. As a kid my family and I went to see it in the 80's. I must admit that heart scene terrified me but boy what a movie!

I was around 10 when Temple came out. You've cleared something up for me that I was wondering since then. You mentioned the deleted scene of Shorty finding out how to cure Indy by touching him with fire when a guard was burned and some other guards take him away when the 'spell' is broken. I specifically remember that scene in the theatrical release back then and it confused me why it wasn't in the video release a few years later. Since then I could have swore I seen that scene and now you've proven that I wasn't dreaming it up, thank you. I may now die in peace.

Now youre speaking my language!!! "Temple of Doom" was always my favorite as a kid and when Mullaram always took that heart out, I always freaked out and cried because it was just that awesome!! That movie was raw, bloody, and dared to take a lot of risks and thats why I always loved it. Thank you for finally doing this one for the true original Indiana Jones fans!!! :)

This is my most watched Indiana Jones movie, watched it loads when i was a kid and still really enjoy it.

Anyone else remember the Read Along Book and Tape of Temple of Doom? "You'll know when it's time to turn the page when you hear the chime ring like this." (chime rings) "Let's begin."

Temple of Doom is also my favorite Indy movie. The gritty gore and edgy themes were a bonus for me when I was a kid!

Aaah! Minty, you have eyes! You look good without sunglasses. I've always enjoyed this one, and it aged well. Wish they made more like this.

The funniest part of this movie was when the army shows up to help, and the one "soldier" spends the entire scene struggling with his SMLE rifle, which had apparently malfunctioned. That was that guy's movie claim to fame: The soldier that didn't know how to operate his rifle properly.

It wouldn't have made sense for Karen Allen to return for a prequel. Remember in 'Raiders' that Indy hadn't seen Marion in years. And this movie was set only one year prior to the first one.

*High Five to Minty* It was also my favorite Indy film as a kid growing up. Great film!

Temple was always my favorite too. Seeing you with out sunglasses is surprising because seeing you with them on for so long I forget there are eyes behind those.

::::notices Minty not wearing shades::: "YOU BETRAYED SHIVA!"

I loved The Temple of Doom as a kid. I honestly didn’t know it was a prequel until this video. My wife and I were blown away by that revelation. I can’t wait for your Last Crusade video as that’s my favorite Indiana Jones movie.

Love this movie. Used to watch it all the time when I was like 10, never seen any of the other ones.

Of all the Indiana Jones movies, this one if by far my favorite. I have to agree with Minty that this one, while it was much darker, was so much fun and more interesting than the others. While yes, Willie was more of a damsel in distress, it made much more sense for her to be like that. Don't get me wrong. Karen Allen's character in Raiders was a strong female lead. And I loved her for it. But, Willie took the cake for me. If I was put in all of those predicaments, I'd more than likely be screaming my head off. Especially when it came to free falling out of a plane, getting stuck in a tunnel full of nasty creepy crawlies, and then shackled into a cage dangling above a fire pit and almost dying. I feel like the other 2 movies that came after this were very tame and didn't take the risks that Temple of Doom did. Screw the critics. This movie gets 4 stars!

This was (and probably still is, but I should do a rewatch to make sure😊) my favorite Indy movie. I'm not sure I saw it in 1984, I would have been 6 but the 80s were a different time and my brother was 12 so I may have gone with him. I have distinct memories of sitting at lunch in elementary school and grossing out my friends describing the dinner scene. I love all it gory goodies!

Taking off your sunglasses is like Darth Vader removing his helmet. Iconic.

This is my favorite Indy film as well. 1984 was a great year to be a kid and Temple of Doom made a big impact on me.

I thought for sure we’d get a mine cart roller coaster ride from this film, but instead we got Indiana Jones and the Lost Temple of Mara, which is a GREAT ride!

My favorite Indy movie. Love the 2 comedic sidekicks (Willie and Short Round are perfect) mixed with the darker tone. Probably watched it over 100 times.

This was the BEST indy movie ever. Even better than Raiders. Everything felt so dark, and Indy really felt like a Hero in this one at the end when all the children were saved. In the theatre, you could hear many in the audience weep for joy at the ending. They just don't make movies like this anymore.

Minty you deserve more subscribers! Keep doing what you're doing! Your reviews are great!

It's not true that it's inconsequential that TOD is a prequel, and also untrue that Indy is the same as Raiders. This is the movie when Indy becomes Indy. He totally is a lesser man, is only after "fortune and glory" (at the time, he did not care about the village, he flat out says it himself) and ended up vastly more altruistic, the character we see consistent throughout the rest of the saga. In the beginning of this movie, Indy is almost indistinct from Belloq, trading out antiquities in brutal trade-ups and cares only about personal gain. But after he is burned awake from the black sleep, he is reformed and saves everyone, stops all the evil, and doesn't keep the stones for himself as he clearly originally planned to do. Anyway, I think a lot of people who not only like this film, but it's their favorite, at least subconsciously are picking up on this fact.

I loved this movie as a child except for the part where the heart gets ripped out of the guys chest. That gave me nightmares for a while. The monkey brains were pretty messed up too. Nice vid Minty Mark.

Funfact to number 6: In Germany, the Title "Indiana Jones und der Tempel des Todes" would actually be the translation of Temple of Death not Temple of Doom...

That club opening music and dance number in the first bit is one of the best made of them all . One of darkest movies of them,but also most black humor and emotions in them.

My FAVORITE Indy movie by far. The arcade game was fantastic. Great graphics and sound although it was a quarter muncher. One cigar store near me had it and we were there everyday after school

I feel closer to Minty now, seeing him without his shades is like the first time my gf let me see her without makeup on

I love that the subtitles have it listed as “pancake palace”

Great video Mark! I prefer the non-sunglasses look, as well as the restrained overall tone. Looking forward to more in this direction going forward. The Indy costume was a nice touch as well.

Thank you Mr. Bishop for all your good stuff and shadelessness! 🥰

I used to rewatch the last 30 minutes over and over as a kid!

The whole ripping the heart out and burning to death was pretty disturbing as a kid.

Dude, you said it exactly the way I feel about it. When I first saw this movie on TV in 1989, it quickly became my favorite Indiana Jones movie. I loved how dark and gritty it was. Of course it was edited for content so a year later we rented it and I got to see the full movie without commercials and just thought it was epic. It also has an amazing original score by John Williams that sounds like a pure adventure through the jungles and into the heart of darkness that is the Thuggy cult temple. Wish I could’ve seen this one on the big screen. Great video.

1984 was a good year for movies. You had: Temple of Doom, Ghostbusters, Gremlins, Terminator, Nightmare on Elm Street, Karate Kid, the NeverEnding Story, Beverly Hills Cop, Police Academy, Splash, Footloose, This is Spinal Tapp, Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter, Sixteen Candles, Purple Rain, Red Dawn, Amadeus, all classics. My dad was 18 in 1984, if I was his age in 1984, I would've seen all these movies.

That Howard the Duck shirt is dope! Mintyanna Jones.

I believe the set that they used for the “Temple of Doom” was the same set they used for “Enemy Mine”

I was pretty much the only one of my friends that saw this film as a favorite one of the original trilogy. Still love this one. Also, the look is awesome Minty. Love the sunnies, but man, you are rocking that fedora and no sunnies look.

I agree with every word of Minty's opinion here. I grew up on this movie and watched it a million times as a young kid. This was my go-to movie when I was home sick from elementary school. Literally wore out the VHS tape. Looking forward to showing it to my kids, and I don't plan on waiting until they're 13 yrs old either.

That fedora is a good look.

Temple of doom has always been my favorite of the indiana Jones movies. A friend of my parents was college friends with Kate Capshaw. She’s from Missouri so that’s why at the end of the film she says “I’m going back to Missouri where people don’t eat snakes.”

Saw this movie when it came out in Washington DC @ 10y/o right after having open heart surgery. Huge Indy fan.

You in swashbuckling mode with your Indy-wear, and no shades! Looking fabulous, Minty!

1:22 I GASPED 😂 This is the first time I've ever seen your entire face and you are adorable

That deleted scene explains a lot. I always wonder how Short knew about the fire/spell.

Hey there internet people. I find it really interesting, of all the Indiana Jones, Star Wars, Gremlins ETc (see what I did there?) videos I have seen over the years nobody mentions the audio books. I had tons of them to help me read when I was a kid, where you listen to a tape and read along. The Indy ones had you turning the page every time you heard the whip crack! Turn the clock forward 40 years and I've happily read some of the best sci-fi/fantasy novels out there. Keep up the great work Minty, you're giving me immense joy and happiness. Thank you!

This was the first movie I ever went to see on my own. I loved it.

And that's why those films back then were great. Lucas wanted a motorcycle chase and dinosaurs. He probably had to scrap them because the technology wasn't available yet and he had to recognize the limitations. Now there's no limitations, thus Crystal Skull.

Love this one Minty... No glasses is a good look buddy... Keep the great videos coming

When I was a kid the "Aaa desert" line always made me laugh.

Thank you for doing a top ten on this one. I loved it even though it was an unorthodox version of indiana jone's adventures. Please do the last crusade. Favorite line from crusade:"You belong in a museum"!!😄

You look different without your sunglasses.

Agreed, my favorite of the franchise. Just visually stunning of a movie! I wore out out VHS copy as a kid because i watched so many times. Temple, crusade, ark, kingdom in that order for favorites

temple of doom is one of my favorite indi movie too.... but it would have been nice if you would have discussed the Indian cast that was used in the movie as Amrish Puri is a really big name here in India and thats the reason why temple of doom is so popular in here..

Great Episode Minty and I must say this is the first time I've seen those screen shots from the deleted scenes . I'm also gonna go out on a limb here and say I really like the no sunglasses look. You should definitely do it more often.
