Fun fact. Indy didn’t get the girl. Steven Spielberg did. He eventually married the actress who played Willie Scott.
She only got the role because Spielberg was dating her at the time, as is evident by her being the worst part of this film.
@@ComedicPause No, you have the causality backwards. They met because of Temple of Doom (and married several years later).
@@bigdream_dreambig either way, Spielberg got the girl, not Indy
Fun fact, you're wrong because the hero always gets the girl and the movie world is different from the real world, boom.
She was in a very forgettable film, Best Defense (with Dudley Moore & Eddie Murphy). At one point her character was waiting for her husband, and you could hear her humming the Indy theme under her breath. ;)
Fun fact: the idea of Mola Ram taking someone's heart out and burning it came from George Lucas, who felt his ex-wife did the exact same thing to him.
Lucas full on admitted in old interviews he was in a very dark place when making this movie because of his divorce
I didn't know George Lucas was married to Amrish Puri...
Still better than Late Capshaw.
Damn 😐
@@deadmanwalking8740 Yeah, divorce can do that to people
Not sure I'd call it a fun fact. Interesting for sure.
Definitely continue the Indy series, but I'd also recommend another Harrison Ford movie called "The Fugitive". One of the best action-crime-drama-thrillers of the 90s.
And also The Devil's Own, Air Force One, Patriot Games & Clear and Present Danger.
@@alextan1478 You're forgetting the big one: Blade Runner. Certinly his other most famous role outside of Star Wars and Indy and one of the best sci-fi films ever made.
Last Crusade is my favorite. I can't wait for your reaction for that one. (assuming that it is coming next.)
The actor who portrays Short Round is the same actor who played Data In Goonies.
In my head canon, Indiana takes Short Round back to be adopted in Oregon and becomes Data.... Only problem is they are like 50 years apart.
Addie must've been thinking as she watched the Indiana Jones movies, "Snakes. Why did it have to be snakes?"
You’re totally going to love The Last Crusade.
“There’s no lead up to their relationship“. Indy is handsome and Willy is gorgeous, that’s all you need.
7:41 This little boy managed to escape from the mines below Pankot and made his way through the jungle back to his village. All alone, by the looks of it. Brave kid. :)
And he had asthma.
Another fun fact. The big man Indu fights on the conveyorbelt is played by the same guy who did the giant german in the first movie.
Pat Roach. R.I.P
Shut it. Why does a fact have to be fun?
@@mikerodgers7620 your mama asked for it.
@@mikerodgers7620 why not? That's why
@@bmxdoe Temple of Doom was better. Raiders is better.
Another great reaction! 😊
As I mentioned on Patreon this movie, and the movie "Gremlins", prompted the very first PG-13 rated movies.
Loved how you noticed the Club Obi-Wan in the beginning.
4:34 - 4:38 Fun Fact: The guy that walks Indy, Willie, and Short Round to the plane is a cameo by American actor Dan Aykroyd. I highly recommend the Ghostbusters movie series that he's in.
8:44 - 9:50 One of my favorite scenes of the movie. Indy and Short Round arguing over their poker game. While Willie tries to get away from the wildlife.
17:34 - 17:51 This is the scene that made this a PG-13 rated movie. And it's the scene that still creeps me out til this day.
This is a good movie. It's difficult to rate this one. Because 'Raiders of the Lost Ark" and the next one "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade" usually ties as my favorite of the Indiana Jones movies.
Looking forward to your next reaction. 😊
It's been a few months but just had to correct you Dan Aykroyd is Canadian
Fun facts time.Parents took their kids to see it,back in the 80's and were upset about the gore and violence.So,that's when PG 13 rating happened.
Addie going through the Indiana Jones fandom initiation of hating Willie was funny to watch, because she’s so naturally inclined to like the “good guys”, but Willie is just THAT annoying.🤣
She's like Jar Jar Binks.
@@znk0r except not ugly
I disagree. Willy is not AS MUCH a damsel in distress as some claim her to be. No, she's no Lara Croft but herself. Not everyone is a badass. There are far worse examples of damsels in other movies.
@@jericoba she just complains and complains every scene she's in. That's not a damsel in destress, that's just annoying AF. Next time you watch it...imagine spending 1 hour with that person.
@@znk0r Well, that's your opinion. Perhaps you are really sensitive to any complaints. :-)
This was so much fun Addie!!! Thank you so much... still LOL!!!🙂🙂🙂
I SO can't wait for the opening of The Last Crusade.
For me
Raiders of the Lost Ark 9/10
Temple of Doom 10/10
The Last Crusade 9.5/10
In 1957: hey in 2022 we’ll all have jet packs and flying cars!
2022: men on the women’s swim team and I am watching a hot girl watch a movie.
How was she That close to the lava and didn’t catch on fire? The first sacrifice caught on fire way closer to the lava..
If you like Harrison Ford; you can watch "The Fugitive" (1993).
These movies are such priceless classics. I guess slso this one is pretty dark for nowadays taste. But we love them. Especially the next one is my absolute favorite. Looking forward to your reaction. You Rock Addie! Battled through all those snake scenes. 🤣 greetings from Germany!
Dan Ackroyd played the "British" man who greets Indy at the airport where Lao Che plane is.
Spielberg and Lucas were both going through breakups while working on this. Which is why the final bad guy has the power to rip out peoples' hearts.
Pat Roach played the rock crusher guy, he was the same actor who played the mechanic who went through the Flying Wing propeller in Raiders. Great reaction! Willie sucks!
Fun Fact. One of the men, not sure which, that speaks Indian, didn't know English at all and they taught him by having him talk phonetically.
This PG rated movie is why the PG-13 rating exists. Look it up!
Watch Hulk 2003
This movie has both the best character (short round), and the worst (Willie) in the whole series.
So of the original trilogy, this is regarded as the weakest. Your complaints are everyone's complaints, but don't worry, the third movie is considered the absolute best by just about everyone.
Actually Raiders is considered the best by just about everyone. Just sayin'
Addie Counts you also you have to remember that this movie's timeline was 1935 which is a Prequal to "Raiders Of The Lost Ark" 1936 Timeline so Willie's character is just a woman of his past that meant nothing to Indiana Jones but a Adventure (Pun Intended)
Damn you beat me to it 😏
Yes this movie is technically a prequel to Raiders. 👍👍👍
@@kimleechristensen2679 there is no technically...it is a prequel because Lucas didn't want the bad guy's to be Nazis again and maybe also worrying the viewers would see it as to repetitive... so with this one Lucas thought okay i'll put Indiana Jones in India come across a group of Thuggee "Thug's" that hadn't been seen for 65 years since 1870...and that is how come there wasn't any Nazi's in this one as the main bad guy's because Lucas chose 1935 where they we're pretty much still in infancy when it came to the Nazi Party
Hey Addie, just so you know, there is a snake right behind you 😅
I wanna know from Addie....
If you were in Willie's place, and instead of bugs it was SNAKES, would you have the courage to overcome your fear and help your friend escape certain death?
I'll even make it easy for you - the snakes are all HARMLESS little garter snakes. 🙂
imagine how we all felt in the theater during the insect scene.
I don't think Willy was anyone's favourite "love interest" and aside from the fact she was basically the only woman in the movie, aside from the grieving mothers, I don't know why Indy put up with her. She was useful... about once when she got them out of the deathtrap.
Adorable reaction... I was scratching my head at why you thought the snake statue was scary but otherwise... loved it.
Not true.
Kate Capshaw married Steven Spielberg. They met when he cast her on this film. They are still married so she can't be all bad.
@@douglascampbell9809 It's not the actresses fault that the character was so unlikeable - she was not too happy with the character either. But that's what they wanted the character to be so she had few options.
@@HH-hd7nd Even Kate Capshaw thought Willie was screaming too much but that's what Steven wanted so that's what Steven got. i think he had also just gone through an acrimonious divorce and made her as annoying as possible.
While I understand why Willie annoys people, I sort of relate to her the most of the 3 main female side characters in these movies. While I'm not obsessed with jewelry and money like she is, and I also don't scream like her, I'd probably be as freaked out/ hesitant to do these adventury things as she was. Can't say I'd be as brave as Short Round even though he's younger than me. I think they did a decently realistic job of having a character out of place in an adventure movie.
When King's Island in Cincinnati, OH was owned by Paramount, they had an Indiana Jones mine car rollercoaster. 8 year old me loved it when it opened in 1991. We lived close enough to the park that commercials for the ride were on TV with Saturday morning cartoons. Waiting for our trip to King's Island that summer seemed like an eternity. Now that the park is no longer owned by Paramount, it was rebranded as "Adventure Express" it just doesn't have the same magic that it did 32 years ago.
That's why the Brady bunch went there it was a paramount show
You can dislike Willy and still love Kate Capshaw. A fun movie she is in that hasn't hit the reaction channels yet is "SpaceCamp" from 1986. Awesome ensemble cast when they were young...Joaquin Phoenix, Lea Thompson, Kelly Preston, Tate Donovan, etc.
...and Black Rain (1989) with Michael Douglas and Andy Garcia.
To me, the odd films were the best, Raiders and Last Crusade. #4 has little value, but we're hoping 5 continues the odd film being good.
To be honest, 4 is so over-the-top campy at times it is kinda fun to watch. Cate Blanchett chewing the scenery every time she's on screen is just wonderful.
the weakest of the 3 indiana jones movies is still a great film. yeah you heard me, there are only three.
Last crusade is my favorite
Hehe.. that a girl Addie..
Not as much snake in this one.. but a lot of bugs.. and just so you know.. those were eels coming out of the dead boa at the dinner table. :D
Glad you weren't too hard on Willie. I think she(Capshaw) played the character well as anyone could.. the annoying city girl love interest.. also part of the comic relief. Vast difference to Marion.. the street smart tomboy love interest.
The jump scare is real.. have you ever seen a whole theatre jump at the same time.. Hehe..
I had a hell of a time with my gf at the time.. she just squirmed/jumped/screamed through the whole movie.
Obviously this was my favourite of the trilogy 20 yrs ago.. but in time I think Last Crusade has become my fav.. mostly due to certain actor(s) in the next film of the trilogy and has aged better than say.. Temple of Doom or The Lost Ark.
Any who.. can't wait for the next Indy film!
This is the main reason we have PG-13 now.
There is an Indiana Jones ride at Disneyland. It’s super fun
Ah I think it's gonna be a running gag with snakes. 😅
Your reactions are too much fun 🤣
Interesting fact: In the Indy timeline (in the movie) this actually took place three years earlier than Raiders did.
One year
lol I never noticed club Obi-wan
Love your reaction, as always! You were so on edge throughout the whole reaction that it was making ME anxious. This is definitely the darkest of the Indiana Jones films. Yep. This is what we watched as kids! Willie is comedic relief. She’s not meant to be a real love interest, as Indy only has one real love. Unfortunately, most people just find Willie annoying. I think she’s hilarious, and, if I’m honest, if I was in those situations I’d probably react the same way. Except for perfuming the elephant.
One day world will be hindu 👍
this is by far th best movie in the series
This film also contributed to the establishment of the PG-13 rating. It was also banned by the Indian government due to negative and stereotypical portrayals of Indian culture (particularly the dinner scene and the Thuggee Cult).
•For better or worse (mostly worse), yes, Willie Scott is the love interest.
•My senior year of college, I took a course on Modern China, from the Qing Dynasty to the Present Day. Nurhaci was the Jurchen general who reorganized the Jurchen Tribes into the Manchu people and then began the conquest of the Ming Dynasty, eventually founding the Qing Dynasty that ruled China from 1636 to 1912.
•Yes, but probably don't try it in real life.
•For the record, none of the foods depicted at dinner are actually Indian cuisine.
•Nobody does.
•The mines inspired many rides and video game levels.
Fun fact : Despite they are being presented as Indians, the villagers from the beginning are Sri Lankans, played by Sri Lankan actors and speaking in Sinhala language. & also those scenes were filmed in Sri Lanka.
Yeah, the Indian government was not about to let this movie get filmed there, which, fair shakes, it doesn't exactly paint the country in a positive light. So, rather than jump the hurdles of rewriting the script, they just moved production to Sri Lanka and made a model for Pankot.
please react to *Sandman*
Fun Facts: The exterior of Pankot Palace was realised through the use of both matte paintings & a set constructed at Elstree Studios here in the UK. The bridge & village sequences were filmed in Sri Lanka….oh & the bats are fruit bats, not vampire bats.
Harrison Ford suffered a severe spinal disc herniation by performing a somersault while filming the scene with the assassin in Jones's bedroom. A hospital bed was brought on set for Ford to rest between takes. Lucas stated, "He could barely stand up, yet he was there every day so shooting would not stop. He was in incomprehensible pain, but he was still trying to make it happen."
The guard crushed by the roller was played by Pat Roach; the same actor who played the Nazi guard who is diced by the plane in Raiders!!! He also played General Kael in Willow….which is also well worth watching!!
Interestingly Temple of Doom isn’t actually the second film. If you go by the years the films are set in the sequence goes as follows.
Temple of Doom - 1935
Raiders of the Lost Ark - 1936
Last Crusade - 1938
Kingdom of The Crystal Skull - 1957
Indy 5 title tbc - 1960s (this based on them recreating the NYC welcome home parade for the Apollo 11 astronauts in Glasgow & also from what I saw on the location shoot in North Yorkshire)
He was also one of the goons in Marion's bar; the one who looks a little off🤫
@@jeffreymcmahon3627 I never knew that!! I’m guessing he’s the one with the really bad prosthetic eyelids??
@@davidanderson1639 Yup
When Ford couldn't work anymore and left for America to get surgery, he luckily happened to have a stunt double who looked near-identical who did all the action scenes until Ford could recover.
Your reactions are great and you are a joy. Really looking forward to your reaction to the next one, Last Crusade is my favorite in the series.
By the way, you should react to Everything Everywhere All At Once. On it's own merits it's great, but you might also recognize an actor from this film.
Great reaction! If you loved Ke Huy Quan (Short Round), I must recommend The Goonies and Finding O’hana. Not only is he in both movies, but they both are adventure films like Indiana Jones.
🤠👦🏻👩🏼🦱👳🏽♂️👳🏽🌋🤎💛🧡❤️
26:27: There's actually a roller-coaster based on this movie at Disneyland Paris.
George Lucas and Spielberg were friends. They made the Indiana Jones film together, and Lucas wrote the Indiana Jones stories, hence the references to star wars and trash compactors and spike room, similarities.
Here's a fun fact for you: a lot of the action scenes in this movie were planned for _Raiders_ but got cut because there's only so much you can put in one movie. This includes the raft scene, the mine cart chase, and the whip vs sword fight.
Kate Capshaw suffered almost as many mishaps in filming as her character did: she got a shiner when part of the board Key He Quan hit one if the big guys with broke, and a big piecechit her eye (the crew showed up the next day with black eyes painted on); had a couple near-panic attacks filming the scenes with snakes and bugs (Willie tossing that snake away is all that remains of a longer scene that got cut); one of the elephants ate that vintage dress she wears in the Shanghai scenes and they had to claim insurance and rebuild it before doing pick-ups and reshoots.
Amrish Puri shaved his head for this role and kept it that way until he retired from acting, and apparently in his day he was India's answer to Christopher Lee: the guy you get when you need an imposing bad guy.
If you’re new to Indiana Jones. I’m right there with ya. In fact, this is still the only Indiana Jones movie I’ve ever watched. But I HAVE played LEGO Indiana Jones which is a great LEGO game and video game in general. However the last time I’ve ever watched this movie fully was when we rented it from the local library in my hometown. And I was VERY young at the time. And I remember being so terrified of the part where he literally pulls the guy’s heart out and the guy somehow STILL alive after that. But I still love this film so much. Good on you Stephen Spielberg.
When I was a kid, I used to chase my sister going “Kalimah!”
Thank you for loving this and NOT hating on Willie! She was deliberately not like Marion to give Indy a different type of love interest, an "indoor" girl - one out of her element. And she provided a lot of fun comedy. I know I'll get a lot of hate for liking her character, but so be it. George and Steven wanted a different love interest (like Bond) for each movie. That's also why this was set in 1935, one year before Raiders in 1936 - so Marion is still in Nepal during the events of this movie. Please watch Last Crusade as well as Crystal Skull - Crystal Skull also gets too much hate. I love it as much as the others.
I appreciated the Willie character...... the performance/portrayal, however.. a bit too much screaming.
Willie was a good character idea realised poorly. In the end the result is annoying character though.
Fish out of water but has an arc and eventually rises quite a bit to the terrible situation. That's solid grounding.
Not sure Kate Capshaw was ever the problem. I'm sure she was directed to play Willie that way.
Great Indy movie, still the weakest of the trilogy. I don't count that 'other' movie.
I feel like a fan edit that took out a few of the more ridiculous Willie screams, especially the 'off-camera' ones, cut the 'We're not sinking, we're crashing.' line and made a couple of tweaks would greatly improve the character. Because that punch in the mine cart, that's a golden character moment.
This film was banned in India because of the dinner scene.
25:05 that’s what she said
ToD gets a bad rap, but it's my favorite of the IJ movies. Unlike Raiders, Indy actually accomplishes something other than killing bad guys - he rescues hundreds of children from slavery and returns a sacred artifact to the village.
And Short Round is the best! I sincerely hope Ke Huy Quan will take up the mantle of the series once Harrison retires the character. I would love to see him tilt the hat up and say "Dr. Round"
My headcanon is that Shiva delivers Indy to the village to save his people. And because the cult is using the name Kali for a diety that is clearly not Kali 👹 Shiva would be displeased by this depiction. By invoking Shiva's name against Mola Ram in the finale, he causes the shankara to ignite but isn't burned by the one he catches.
This movie led to the creation of PG-13.
That was certainly one of the main excuses, but the reality is that Spielberg wanted it and the head of the MPAA was his buddy.
@@toddjones1480 That's a fact, and I don't joke. By the way, the first PG-13 film that was released was Red Dawn (1984).
Indi-Addie Jones 😎
For me, Temple of Doom is one of the most underrated movies of all time. It goes balls-out in the action and absurdity so you have to admire its daring, even if it's not your cup of tea. The relationship between Indy and Short Round is such a breath of fresh air, and Ford has never been more charismatic in a movie.
I am perplexed, though, that they didn't go with the obvious choice of making Willie gradually adapt (just a bit) to the increasingly extreme events around her. I appreciate initially making her completely different from Marion, and to have her be this prissy queen... but that only really works for the audience if she's allowed to undergrow character growth. And yet, they didn't do that. I have to think SOMEONE along the way suggested it, and George Lucas/Spielberg just rejected the idea.
The same could be said about Marion Ravenwood. There was no character growth at all throughout Raiders.
@@brokenrhyme - I think the difference is that people liked her personality off the bat. Willie was (intentionally) grating. So it was odd that they didn't allow Willie to change - it would've been such an easy and logical story choice.
Temple of Doom is ok, it’s certainly not terrible, but the first movie set such a high bar it gets a bad rap in comparison. It just suffers from being the weakest of the original trilogy. (Crystal Skull has a much worse reputation than Temple of Doom, South Park even did an episode making fun of how bad that one was. I never saw that one though.)
The jump scare at 19:20 ALWAYS gets everyone including myself even after watching 200+ times.
Great reaction. Btw, this movie is actually a prequel to the first movie (Raiders of the Lost Ark). Also, the lead actress in this movie, Kate Capshaw, is married to Steven Spielberg.
11:22 12:46 13:19 14:39
Snakes: Super scary and nope!!!!
Eyeballs and monkey brains: Lame, not scary
Love your reactions Addie 😄🌹
3:37 Yes, a very extravagant place...what we should expect from a place called Club Obi-Wan. Watch when they jump out the window coming up, you'll see the name on the sign. :)
Willie's scream is amazing!
This was my least favorite Indy film until they had the new films. Also you are not the first person to dislike Indy and Willy together... But to the actress's credit she was quite good in the movie "Space Camp". You should definitely consider seeing it. It also features Leah Thompson and Tom Skerritt.
Love your reactions Addie. Keep em coming!
Most viewers generally like Raiders Of Lost Ark and The Last Crusade best from The Indiana Jones trilogy.
If you love Harrison ford, I suggest Witness, and The Fugitive. Both are fantastic.. Oh.. and Blade Runner...
4:08 You noticed the name of the club :) You are the first of about 8 reacters I've watched watch this film. Good eye.
0:30 Yes, there are less snakes in the rest of the films. And just to let you know, in case you haven't figured it out on your own, THIS film take place before Raiders.
@AddieCounts a more unkown movie with Harisson Ford is regarding Henry, a beautiful drama, and another one is working girl
wich is a great comedy
Lol I hope you like bugs...lol.... .... .... .... .... .... .... ....
As a PREQUEL to Raiders, they HAD to make Willy a little unlikeable.
I mean, Indy could NOT fall in love with her, considering his true love is Marian in the next (previous) movie.
All the disgusting foods was actually edible stuff. Either made from gelatin or chocolate or something like that.
Between Kate Capshaw and the offensive portrayal of Indian culture and cuisine, I just flat out do NOT like this movie.
George Lucas, and Steven Spielberg were both going through divorce, making this film -they weren't in good moods.
The film was shot in Sri Lanka, and the location was not "named" as India turned down filming rights,....with some old imagery of how India was shown un the past. This story is set in 1935, a year before "Raiders" so it's a prequel. Yet, the imagery of the cult, in south Asia, has a number of viewers mark this as their least favorite Indy Jones film (or, maybe not).
If you ever view films from the 1930's or around, made by Hollywood,...well, even into the 80's, when "pale face actors" play Asians - Lost Horizon, for example, or Alec Guinness as an Indian Guru in 1985's "Passage to India",...Speilberg cast Asians, which is correct, yet by imitating how much of "the civilized world" depicted Asia,...yes, there are a few problems with this film too.
And, if not mentioned by the other 275 comments, Kate Capshaw, who portrays Willi Scott, became the wife of Steven Spielberg, after this film. They are married still :)
According to the timeline in movies, this happened before Lost Arc and hence before Indy reunited with Marion. What happened to Willi - anybody's guess.
Willie is beautiful but so very annoying. Marion is so much better.
I'm sure you know now this movie takes place in 1935 1 year before
the events of Raiders of the lost Ark.
2:04 It's the human trafficking dad from The Transporter on the right!!
"I just don't like the two of them together." no one did, that's why Spielberg married her.
Ya know this is my favorite one cause it was just CRAZY!!!🤣 Also that Willie was no Marion that's for sure🙄😂
I had a lot of fun with this movie when it came out in the theaters. Nothing touches Raiders but this was enjoyable. I’m one of the few who actually liked Kate Capshaw and thought their tryst was an amusing diversion. The Willy Scott character gets unfairly derided. It’s ok to have a reluctant heroine who does just enough to warrant respect. Marion had her moments of dependence. Not as many, but they were there.
The actress who plays Willie meet her future husband doing this movie. She married Steven Spielberg
The weakest of the trilogy, mainly because of the female lead. Luckily, the sidekick Short Round saves the day. 😀
I kept wishing for horrible things to happen to Willie. I would have loved this as a Indy & Shorty movie. But it was probably best that Willie was so annoying, since this movie is technically a prequel to Raiders, so he was free to reconnect with Marion. And thank goodness for that.
The awesome Pat Roach appearing as the overseer of the slaves, and probably his worst death ever: into the rock crusher. Ugh!
I loved the mine cart chase. It was one of my favorite parts of the old arcade game too. 🙂And Willie was more helpful by this time too, which was kinda redeeming. Still didn't like her though. And nowhere as much as Spielberg did (if I remember correctly he and Kate Capshaw got married after working together on this movie).
I loved Short Round. This was the only time we saw him in the trilogy, and I kinda hated that. He was awesome as a character in this.
Hey Addie, in comparison to Raiders Of The Lost Ark, the remaining Indiana Jones movies have significantly less snakes in them
This movie is better made as an adventure movie, it's more structured and ongoing than the first one. I like both 1 and 2 for different reasons, unlike most who dislike this one. And, Willy is not AS MUCH a damsel in distress as some claim her to be. No, she's no Lara Croft but herself. Not everyone is a badass. Furthermore, Short-round is supposed to be the sidekick here, not Willy.
I'd agree on your assessment Addie. This is one of the weaker Indy films. It also doesn't help that Kate Kapshaw and Harrison Ford didn't have very good chemistry on screen.
The actress who played willy married Steven Spielberg
Also "the last crusade" is the best one.
This is actually my least favorite of the Indiana Jones movies. For me the order is 3, 1, 4, 2.
Fun fact the actress who plays Willy is married to Steven Spielberg soon after the movie
Temple of Doom is my least favorite Indiana Jones but it's so out there... Next up, The Last Crusade is possibly the best and also has Sean Connery!
