My mom and I visited Amber Fort in Jaipur, India... the real life Temple of Doom... was pretty cool. We also visited the Temple of Karnak in Luxor, Egypt, and Petra in Jordan, and Venice and other places in Europe and the US, so if we go to Machu Picchu in Peru then we'll have visited all of the major locations that inspired the major settings of the Indiana Jones movies.

"Right. All of us..." One of Indy's best moments and one of the reasons Temple of Doom is my favorite of the series. He has the treasure, but risks everything to save the children. That and a fantastic friendship with endlessly charming Short Round. They make such a great team! I really want to see Ke Huy Quan return to the franchise now that he's acting again. A Dr. Round spin-off would be amazing.

She's singing "Anything Goes" by Cole Porter in Mandarin. She's actually pretty good; I can understand her. I'm ABC (American Born Chinese) so I guess that helps. Edit: SHORT ROUND!!! Yay! Indy and company start in Shanghai. The plane they're on crosses the Great Wall (which is northish of Shanghai). They swing around the Himalayas (which is where the pilots jump out). And, voila, we're in northern India once we get past the mountains. Those giant bats might actually be flying foxes (well, that's what they're called but still bats). I think they're fruit bats.

Yeah George Lucas after the release of Star Wars teamed up with his friend Steven Spielberg to do Raiders of the Lost Ark. So both Star Wars and Indiana Jones are Lucasfilm franchises but Indiana Jones is a George Lucas and Steven Spielberg collaboration. That is probably why Indiana Jones is sooooooo good. My favorite is Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade I'm excited for you to eventually get to watch that one.

Hey James... Temple of doom is great movie, it more of sequel \ prequel to raiders. It takes place before Raiders of the lost ark. That why Indy is little bit different. Plus this was the movie that created the pg-13 label. Parents thought it was little to much for kids to be pg . Hence pg-13 was made. also Kate capshaw was married to Spielberg at the time so he enjoy putting her though the bugs in the cave.

Some interesting facts: This is technically a prequel because it is set in 1935. Raiders of the Lost Ark is set in 1936. The kid who plays Shortround is also in The Goonies. And Kate Capshaw, who plays Willie, married Steven Spielberg. You will find out why he hates snake in The Last Crusade.

The crazy parachute raft scene is actually completely plausible, btw. The Myth Busters tried it, expecting it to fail, and then had to figure out why it worked. It's the same reason cats and squirrels, for example, can fall from virtually any height without major injury -- as long as they don't flip over. They spread themselves out and reach terminal velocity almost immediately and fall at a constant speed instead of accelerating. The raft, too, as long as it doesn't flip.

this moviw was shot during a time when Lucas and Spielberg were going through divorces. Willie was played by Kate Capshaw who would later marry Steven Spielberg. Short was played by Ke Quay Kwan who would also appear in The Goonies. and then would disappear from hollywood because there was enough roles for asian actors. He would later resurface in 2022 and win a Oscar for best supporting actor in Everything Everyone All At Once. Narional Treasure is a movie you really should watch (there are two National Treasures).

And had no clue it existed because it was called RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK... no INDIANA JONES in the title. But anyway, you definitely brought back my childhood love for this movie. Rented it several times before making my own copy in the 80s. You will love the 3rd film also.

@robburns4176 Жыл бұрын

look at the dates in the opening; Ford is playing a younger Indiana Jones. He got into top form, so he spends a lot of time with his shirt off in this one. Club Obi Wan, the most visible egg in the show. Jones' travel agent is a Dan Akroyd in cameo. Indy is truly lost, he's in Sri Lanka, India wouldn't allow the production in their country. The village leader did not speak English, Spielberg said the lines off camera and the leader would repeat them phonetically. The production discovered it takes 1000 bugs to cover one square foot of floor. The bugs were refrigerated to slow them down, otherwise they scattered instantly, to join the 100's of snakes they lost in the first film. When the bridge splits it goes from Sri Lanka to the UK in one cut. Amish Puri was in Mola Ram mode all the time on set, frightening the cast and crew.

Yay! Score one for my favourite Indy film. Nice to hear that you agree with my assessment, so far. For me, the Temple of Doom is the most enjoyable of all the Indy films. It is also the best crafted, in my opinion, from an editorial standpoint. This film builds and builds to non-stop action in the third act, and it's really dark at a time that blockbuster films weren't so dark generally. What's another dark sequel from a few years earlier, that also happens to be a Lucasfilm production? That's right, the Empire Strikes Back. People complained about that film at the time but it would go on to receive praise as the greatest Star Wars film ever. I hope that someday more people will come to appreciate this masterpiece adventure as the best Indy film ever. It does have big competition, in truth, from the first and third Indy film, both brilliant in their own right. The fourth... yeah, that's not even in the running.

People don't realize that George Lucas created Indiana Jones, wrote the screenplay with Lawrence Kasdan, & hired Steven Spielberg to direct. George's dog was named Indiana. Spielberg married Kate Capshaw, & are still married to this day. Also, these films are when Kathleen Kennedy came into Lucasfilm family(She runs Lucasfilm now). Lastly, I have a movie suggestion that you must add to the Patreon poll that I consider one of the funniest movies in the 90's, & it is Major Payne. People were literally falling out in the isles laughing back in the mid 90's. Trust me, treat yourself to Major Payne(1996) starring Damon Wayans.

Meanwhile, Jones has taken on an honorable quest to save the village and so that one stone stays with him, so he can take it back. Basically, the Shankara stones are like the One Ring; they have a mind of their own and when the opportunity arises, they manipulate events to get to where they want to be.
