That scream that you're referring to is called a "Wilhelm Scream" It's kind of a stable in various types of movies and television shows, it even makes appearances in video games
Fun fact. The village elder who tells the story about the stones, can't speak a word of English and was reading of large qu-cards and copied Steven's Spielbergs movements
The Wilhelm scream is a stock sound effect that has been used in a number of films and TV series, beginning in 1951 with the film Distant Drums. The scream is usually used when someone is shot, falls from a great height, or is thrown from an explosion. That's the scream you heard in the first Indiana Jones movie... it's used in almost every movie 😘
You're totally right! It has become kind of a cool, inside joke for Hollywood sound effects artists. They're looking for places in the films they work on to put it.
Willie's full first name is Wilhelmina, which is a humorous nod by Lucas and Spielberg to the Wilhelm scream and the fact that Willie screams a lot during the movie.
Two things: 1. The scream is recycled from hundreds of movies and is called the Wilhelm Scream. 2. The guy who meets Indy, Willie and Short Round at the airport is Dan Akroyd.
Well, back in 1935 Asia hadn't yet come together to pass the Treaty of Chicken Safety yet. They were not required to stock their airplanes with chicken-sized parachutes and most shipping companies chose to cut corners and not even bother. There were events like this where many chickens died in plane crashes that eventually led to the treaty being signed in 1967. Now those chickens can be recovered and finally delivered to their destination where they can then be killed and served to hungry people.
Honestly, dying in that crash was probably better than if they got out. Had they escaped they would have been doomed to starve or freeze to death on a mountain top.
I love Temple of Doom, it’s fun seeing Indy’s character prior to how he was in Raiders and Crusade...he’s not trying to find artifacts because they “belong in a museum”...he’s all about that fortune and glory! And while this movie leans into the “horror” more then Raiders or Crusade, it nails it when it comes to the comedy 😆
The novel and comic adaptations explained that the feast was a result of the guests being drugged by the Blood of Kali. Indy figures there's something very wrong about Pankot since no self-respecting Hindu, Muslim, or Sikh (Pankot Palace is depicted as being in East Punjab, thus all the turbans and the maharajah's surname being Singh) would even touch that stuff. The British commander has similar thoughts, hence why the soldiers show up at the end. The feast scene, the violent portrayal of Kali worship, and the British being portrayed in a heroic light are why this movie was banned in India. They couldn't even film there despite casting a lot of Bollywood actors. The village was filmed in Sri Lanka and the villagers are speaking Sinhalese, not Hindi. The man who helps them on the plane is a brief cameo by Blues Brothers and Ghostbusters star Dan Aykroyd.
I remember the novel. It's a shame they didn't find a way to make that clear in the movie, I was fifteen when I read the book and even at that age I was like "Oh, OK. Now that makes sense". Still, the rest of the movie rocks - it's only that scene that has mucho cringe to it, every other second is just perfect (in my fairly assertive opinion).
I didn't know about the feast clarification but that makes way more sense. I actually wonder if that was a retcon to cover an error? I'm not even Hindu but I hate the demonization of Kali in this movie. I'm not full on cancel indy over it but it was ignorant ethnocentricism that "others" a culture it doesn't understand. Honestly between that and Willie, this was my last favorite of the original 3 films.
Indiana Jones is a cultured character who understands customs and speaks Hindi. For me, what's problematic about the dinner scene is that Indy behaves like there's nothing out of the ordinary about these dishes to the Indian culture.
The novelizations did tend to add details to explain things that would have been errors or inconsistencies in the movies at the time. So yeah, I think it was more that the movie made mistakes and then the novelization adaption added an explanation to make it not a mistake. While many novel adaptions of movies are really bad, I found the Indiana Jones ones to be very good. They were able to express what was going on in his mind a lot better. Though I did find the fact that in the book Short Round felt like he was going to go back to the States with Dr. Jones and he was going to adopt him kind of sad since he was never seen or mentioned again.
I used to love those novelizations of 1980s films (other good ones include Gremlins & Back to the Future). They not only re-incorporated scenes deleted from either the final cut or the pre-shooting script, they also explored other potential inconsistencies and usually found a way to make them fit into the story (probably sometimes in ways the filmmakers didn't always consider-writers fixing plotholes).
During the scene where Indy fights the Thugee assassin in his bedroom. There's a shot where he knocks over a lamp, then he flips the guy over his back and then somersaults over him. Harrison Ford flipped the stuntman over his back and ruptured two spinal discs in the process, resulting in a herinated disc. Harrison was in so much pain that, whenever he was done shooting a scene, a gurney was brought in on set to have him rest on between takes. But the pain worsened when he had to ride the elephants for the scene in Sri Lanka. Finally, Harrison was flown back to Los Angeles for weeks of surgery and therapy. But Spielberg wanted to continue the filming schedule since they were running out of time. So Harrison's stunt double, Vic Armstrong, shot all of the scenes of the Indy. And after Harrison was released from the hospital, all the close ups of his face were shot afterwards.
Fun fact: the large bearded thugee is played by the same actor, who is the large German (killed by propellers) in Raiders of the Lost Ark! He is played by Pat Roach, a English actor and pro wrestler
If you ever played skyrim, or assassins creed odyssey I HATE CHICKENS IN VIDEO GAMES>. Skyrim chicken deaths kill a chicken and the entire world is after you.. its a chicken, you are fighting and a dragon comes down.. and while fighting to save the village you attack a chicken by accident and nope forget the ruddy dragon he killed a chicken.. what.. its a ruddy dragon, it breaths fire.. no you are a chicken killer.. worst crime in existence.. then oh not only that game, but assassins creed odyssey. i am fighting a battle with people, i accidentally hit a chicken and yeah low on health.. chicken kills me.. i mean a chicken killed me died by chicken..
I didn't hate Willie, but she was definitely my least favorite romantic interest in the series. I always got the vibe that it was just a physical attraction, not love like he felt for Marion. Short Round was one of my favorite characters of the series. As a kid he made you feel like you could be Indy's sidekick! I always felt they should have brought him back as a potential adopted son for Indy and Marion.
Because Temple is a prequel, they deliberately made Willie an inferior love interest, someone you wouldn't want or expect Indy to end up with. That way you don't ask "Why wasn't Willie in Raiders?" It's obvious why she wasn't in Raiders, their relationship was never serious. And yes, Short Round is probably the greatest kid sidekick in cinema history. Usually kid sidekicks are terrible, but Short Round is a delight. He has so many great lines and actually manages to be helpful.
While the movies were based on the old serials, the character was also originally planned to be similar to Bond in the idea of him being with different women in every movie. In the first (Raiders) when Marcus went to Indy's apartment, he was going to a young lady as company over at the time. In fact a student from the university.
@@Logan_Baron Did You Know Spielberg Originally Wanted To Do a James Bond Movie on 1980s and then George Lucas Convinced Him To do a Little Project Called: Raiders Of The Lost Ark and In Words Of George Lucas He Said To Spielberg: This Is Much Better Then James Bond.
Fun Fact: The Thugee that got crushed in that Rolling device was played by the same actor who played the mechanic who Indy fought in the airfield scenes in the first movie
That's man-mountain Pat Roach. He played two parts in Raiders: the german mechanic Indy fights, and one of the Sherpas who come into Marion's bar with Toht to steal the amulet.
He is also technically in Indiana Jones and the last crusade (he plays a Gestapo officer that indy fights but the scene ended up getting cut but he is still credited though)
"I heard the same scream" Well you likely heared it many many times by now. It is called the Wilhelm Scream, it is used for movies for years now and even back than was a somewhat well known insider that comes up in SO MANY movies
* I have to admit Duaf, your reactions to this one cracked me up several times lol, especially the screaming beaver. I wasn't expecting that lol. Great reaction video.
The Wilhelm scream is a stock sound effect that has been used in a number of films and TV series, beginning in 1951 with the film Distant Drums. The scream is usually used when someone is shot, falls from a great height, or is thrown from an explosion. The sound is named after Private Wilhelm, a character in The Charge at Feather River, If you want to test those stunts, react to Mythbusters
13:44 Take a moment and appreciate one of my favorite moments in all of movie history! It is a moment that is absolutely brilliant and very under appreciated! I love that moment for three reasons! 1. Indiana Jones never sees him. 2. The audience or much of the audience also never sees him until he strikes! 3. This is all despite the fact that he is hiding in plain sight! Brilliant setup and execution! This scene needs to be appreciated more than it is!
26:37 His name is Amrish Puri. He was an Indian actor, who was an important figure in Indian theatre and cinema. He is remembered for playing iconic villainous roles in Hindi cinema as well as other Indian and international film industries.
"You've got a voodoo doll? What kind of sorcery is this?" Voodoo, you just said it. lol Indiana Jones was never really meant to be realistic. It was an homage to '30s/'40s pulp adventure movies. There was big anniversary DVD box set years ago that I still have, with a "making of" documentary they'd shot for it, and they talked to the stunt coordinator for the movie and he was saying how Spielberg was pitching Raiders of the Lost Ark to him and was trying to describe Jones and after he rambled for a few minutes the coordinator apparently just asked him "Does he ever lose his hat?" Spielberg said no, "Say no more, I understand completely." lol
Fun Facts: The club at the start is called Club Obi-Wan & also the man who shows Indy, Short Round & Willie to the plane in Dan Aykroyd of Ghostbusters / Blues Brothers etc fame.
I think the original idea behind was just to make old school "serial" movies. They don't need to have a continuity, if they don't want to. Just like early James Bond films, where everything sort of resets when the need it to, while still hanging on to some elements or plot points if useful. With Indy-series the continuity came as an aftertought with some novelisations and a prequel television series. Simply put: they were making it up as they went along.
Yeah, I tried to get her to watch this one first over on her Patreon in order to get the full flow of Indy's character arc (something those of us who saw the movies in real time never got to experience), but, alas, all the 'release order' zealots overruled me. 🙄
The creatures that were inside of that stuffed python at the feast are called caecilians. They're burrowing limbless amphibians but often get confused for eels, snakes or even giant worms but they have rows of shark like teeth, tiny tentacles under their eyes and many are poisonous, so no one would really eat them. They're really fascinating creatures that most people don't even know exist.
17:15 The recurring theme in Indiana Jones is that religion folklore and tales are true. Ark of the Covenant comes from Judaism, and all this with magic and taking a person's heart out and Sankara Stones come from Hinduism. The next movie centers around Christianity
The Wilhelm scream is a stock sound effect that has been used in a number of films and TV series, beginning in 1951 with the film Distant Drums. The scream is usually used when someone is shot, falls from a great height, or is thrown from an explosion. The sound is named after Private Wilhelm, a character in The Charge at Feather River, a 1953 Western in which the character gets shot in the thigh with an arrow. This was its first use following its inclusion in the Warner Bros. stock sound library, although The Charge at Feather River is believed to have been the third film to use the effect. The scream is believed to be voiced by actor Sheb Wooley.
@@gastronomist Spielberg's marriage was falling apart and he was having an affair with Capshaw during production of "Temple." His attitude toward the character of Willie (or any female protagonist he and Lucas would have come up with) instilled a 40's era annoying comedic shrew into the direction of Kate's character. Spielberg even said he was in a dark place at the time of making this film.
The really big Thuggee guard was played by Pat Roach. He also played both really big villain thugs in Raiders, the big Nepali/Sherpa in the fight in Marion's bar and the Nazi who fights Indy under the spinning plane. It was a gag for him to be a really huge thug in each of these three Indiana Jones films.
When i was a kid this one was my favourite (not anymore because the third is just a perfect film), i love the dark vibe of temple of doom, it's like Indy going to hell and back
And yet, in Raiders, he claims not to be a believer in the supernatural, despite his experience in India. This in turn raises the question of why he's bothered about the Germans finding the Ark if he doesn't believe it has otherworldly powers.
This movie created too many continuity issues. For starters: -Where the hell were Willie and Short Round during Raiders of the Lost Ark, Last Crusade, and Kingdom of the Crystal Skull? -Why would Indy abandon an orphan asian boy like Short Round? -What made Indy ditch Willie just so he could reconnect with Marion? AND -How did Indy learn how to fly so fast? (In Temple of Doom, he said he couldn't fly a plane but in Last Crusade, he can but he doesn't know how to land.)
The Willie never being seen again didn't bother me. Indy was originally conceived as a James Bond type character with a girl in every port. Marion was kinda the exception which is why they made the next movie a prequel, as we're supposed to assume he settled on one girl with Marion. But I didn't see any reason that Willie wasn't gone as soon as they got back to civilization. Short Round never being seen or mentioned again bothered me. Because it does come off as abandoning a kid. Especially since in the novelization, Short Round thought that he was going back to the States with Dr. Jones and he was going to adopt him.
Yeah, I tried to get her to watch this one first over on her Patreon in order to get the full flow of Indy's character arc (something those of us who saw the movies in real time never got to experience), but, alas, all the 'release order' zealots overruled me. 🙄
@@ComeOnIsSuchAJoy 99% of the time I would say release order is the way to go, but as far as Indy goes anyone saying it should be watched chronologically would get no argument from me
After seeing the face you made with the "bugs" in Indy's previous reaction, I was looking forward to seeing you react when I saw Cate Capshaw, literally covered with bugs of all kinds hahahahahahaha
In the Indiana Jones universe the diamond from the beginning is the Peacock’s eye which once belonged to Alexander The Great and it was part of the golden peacock statue and that diamond was used as a statue’s eye during Alexander’s reign
I believe the people of the village were thanking Indy, Willie and Short Round for coming to help bring back their kids and save their village. They may have prayed to their Indian god Shiva to send someone to help them and see their arrival as the answer to their prayers.
The things is, that India has probably the largest population of vegetarians in the World. And the few that does eat meat usually only eat chicken, lamb and goat.
The guy that got flattened in the rock crusher is the same guy that both got a chair broken over him (while his arm was on fire) in Raiders in Marions bar, and got chopped up by the propeller
Wow, I'm impressed. You are really the first person that cared about the chickens on the plane! And you noticed too the various water levels in the different takes at the end.
5:21 that scream is the "Wilhelm Scream", it's been in a LOT of movies since the early 50's. There are several TH-cam compilations of it, pretty funny.
I'd be intrigued by a "Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead"-style story about the 2 Chinese pilots working for gangster Lao Che who bailed out in their parachutes in the middle of the Himalayas. They'd have to get to civilization from extremely harsh terrain, report back to their boss, who would eventually learn that Indiana Jones survived and likely punish them. It could be quite the Henchmen's Adventure.
29:55 Short Round doesn't appear in any of the other movies, but other media provides more details of his life. His real name is Wan Li and Indy took him back to the US following this adventure and set him up in boarding school. They shared several further adventures over the years.
29:20 indie took sort round with him to america, where short round was adopted by a cuple of indies friends, and than, he went to college and became an archeologist just like indie :) they remaided frieds troughout their lives.
Another Ester egg as Indy boards the plane and talks to Lao Che you can see 2 gentlemen walking by in the background - they are Steven Spielberg & George Lucas. Though one needs a big TV.
Yes that sound effect is in everything from this to star wars and lotr Wilhelm sound effect. The song anything goes is really good Cole porter the lyrics in English are great ( in olden days a glimpse of stockings was looked on as something shocking but now God knows anything goes)
@@fastertove agreed, RAIDERS is one of the best movies ever made... DOOM is a GREAT follow up (impossible to surpass Raiders) and is a worthy sequel (prequel). On the other hand Crusade and Crystal Skull? Completely UNWATCHABLE imho.
There is book more technically a journal called The Lost Journal of Indiana Jones and it shows that the kid Short Round became and Archeologist. I highly reccomend that book.
The darkest and the most violent Indiana Jones movie ever made. This film is the reason why the PG-13 rating was made. Red Dawn and Dreamscape were released with PG-13 ratings.
Yeah, RD was the first. On Aug. 10, 1984, only three months after parents were outraged over the release of PG-rated "Temple of Doom," "Red Dawn," a drama starring Patrick Swayze, became the first film to be released with the PG-13 rating.
Usually it’s considered one of the movies that inspired the PG-13 rating, but not the only one. Gremlins is another that caused a lot of outrage as a PG-rated movie.
That scream you noticed... well, congratulations! You find the Wilhelm Scream! The most iconic scream in the history of Hollywood. And let me tell you another thing: maybe you don't Know it, but you had hear it many times before. Here's some link for you to know about the famous Wilhelm Scream: th-cam.com/video/UfRPPMXY5SQ/w-d-xo.html
I’m not sure if you noticed, the guy with the bad English accent on the runway was actually a cameo by Dan Ackroyd. Also, the Head Guard Indy fights on the conveyor belt is the same actor, Pat Roach, who he fought on the tarmac in “Raiders”. Remember the guy that went through the propellers? He also shows up in “Crusade”. Let’s see if you can pick him.
Fun fact, the actor playing Shorty couldn't read english so he improvised his lines with the direction he had, Willie is played by the wife of Steven Spielberg the director and the scene where they were surrounded by gross insects, the insects were real ^^ and this movie takes place before the first one as you said
Interesting that he couldn't read English. This reaction made me notice he pronounced "Kali" wrong and I never knew what he meant to say until just now when I saw the subtitle. I figured the mistake came from reading the word incorrectly--guess not!
Keep in mind for the Indiana Jones movies, they were very much invoking the themes and feel of the old 1930's and 40's serials like Buck Rodgers and such, ones where each story was encapsulated in its own, with little to do with the rest of the stories other than the main character just going on another adventure. Its not like today where multiple movies HAVE to all link up together very tightly and where all the characters carry over somehow. In the three main Indy films (the fourth movie doesn't count) other than Indy, only Marcus Brody and Sala are the two other side characters we see that were in more than one movie. Other than that, his love interests and whatnot do not factor into the adventure. Think of them almost like the James Bond movies, the older ones, where there would be new Bond Girls all the time, new villains, just a new adventure with each story.
Also there is no continuity to pulp cliffhangers from the 30s..a hero had a different damsel in distress with a gun or a whip. Tarzan and Jane, Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers, Doc Savage, The Phantom and the Shadow are born out of that era of storytelling..these are ubermasculine man's man archetypes that conquer and defeat what they are up against. These characters were in the magazines BEFORE superheroes like Batman and Superman were created and superheroes would replace such stories in comic book literature. And they are derived from those characters in terms of their viewpoint and beating their villains which were originally like Indy fighting Nazis and Communists and then they developed colorful super villians later on.The Good is clear and evil is also absolute as the Nazis are depicted. There is no gray area or in between. But I understand your preference.
reply to the 17:53 mark...you have to remember majority of women love somewhat rude bad boy's and that is because ladies see them as a challenge to change the guy into a good polite guy...the only time single women go for a already good guy's is when they have reached a certain age like around in their 50's because they have reached the half way point in their life where a life changing challenge isn't fun anymore
You know, Jaba the Hutt would probably love the food from that palace. Also you have to watch The Goonies after seeing this movie. You'll love it :-) Shorty is in it, and Sam back when he was a little kid.
I think a Clone Wars episode make a reference to that dance from the beginning I think it was from the episode that Obi Wan (nice reference that this movie made to that club) and Quinlan Vos were after Ziro.
You did hear the same scream. It's called "The Wilhelm" and you will hear it in just about every film that a sound person can put it in. It's an inside thing. Once you identify it you cam't unhear it.
i saw this movie about 7 times in the theater and countless times on vhs and dvd. And i never thought about the poor chickens (and their families). We can only hope they escaped in a deleted scene. I heard they will show up in Indiana Jones 5 - The Coop of Doom.
Despite its problems, I really enjoy this one. Giving Indy a kid sidekick to pal around with amps up the humor (for more Short-round, check out The Goonies), and Willie is great satire of the damsel in distress trope. You will probably enjoy The Last Crusade best of all.
Short Round came to the U.S. with Indy, and attended and was housed in university, eventually earning degrees in Physics and Engineering. He worked as a college professor, in Astoria, Oregon, though his true delights were in inventing and being a family man. His son, nicknamed Data, went on to have adventures on his own and with his peer group called "the Goonies."
Always wondered what happened to him... 🤔😊
Best film theory EVER...
Nice headcanon!
Especially considering that Short Round and Data (from The Goonies) were played by the same actor.
Lol....yep
That scream that you're referring to is called a "Wilhelm Scream"
It's kind of a stable in various types of movies and television shows, it even makes appearances in video games
It's now a bad cliche.
It's been used in over 400 films... (according to google at least).
...and it will continue to be used for years to come.
Now she’s identified it, she’ll recognise it every time she hears it!
@@pedanticperson1149 that wouldn't surprise me in the very least
@@MrDarkwing78 Alas it will I am afraid....
One Interesting Easter egg in this movie is near the beginning you can see the name of the club, its called club obi wan.
Also, the scene at the cliff where Indy reaches for his gun is a callback to the scene in _Raiders of the Lost Ark,_ where he also fought a swordsman.
Nice catch, I was watching this movie about 2 - 3 months ago and realised that "egg"
Also, the one where Indd ran after the thuggees is a mirror of the one in Star Wars episode 4 where he runs after the stormtroopers
@@rapliberationarmy089 Han never ran after thuggees. What movie are you watching? And what are you smoking? And have you got any more?
"obiwan ....... Kenobi!!!!!"

Underrated movie and the trilogy as a whole is top 5 trilogies of all time
When the plane’s engines stopped, its the same sound as when the Millemnium Falcon’s hyperdrive malfunctions.
And the sign for the night club was "Club Obi Wan" that she overlooked

I've seen and talked about this movie with a ton of people, and she's literally the first to say anything about the chickens dying.

I just ate, now you're making me hungry for KFC! thanks! 😁

Because Temple is a prequel, they deliberately made Willie an inferior love interest, someone you wouldn't want or expect Indy to end up with. That way you don't ask "Why wasn't Willie in Raiders?" It's obvious why she wasn't in Raiders, their relationship was never serious.
And yes, Short Round is probably the greatest kid sidekick in cinema history. Usually kid sidekicks are terrible, but Short Round is a delight. He has so many great lines and actually manages to be helpful.
Fun fact- the guy talking to Indy on the way to the plane is Dan Aykroyd doing a British accent lol
With the exception of Marion, I think with Indiana Jones it’s more sex than love.
Fortune & glory, kid!
Like James Bond
While the movies were based on the old serials, the character was also originally planned to be similar to Bond in the idea of him being with different women in every movie. In the first (Raiders) when Marcus went to Indy's apartment, he was going to a young lady as company over at the time. In fact a student from the university.

Fun Fact:
The Thugee that got crushed in that Rolling device was played by the same actor who played the mechanic who Indy fought in the airfield scenes in the first movie
That's man-mountain Pat Roach. He played two parts in Raiders: the german mechanic Indy fights, and one of the Sherpas who come into Marion's bar with Toht to steal the amulet.
Yep. Pat Roach. You might also know him as General Kael from Willow (he was the guy who wore the skull mask)
@@DanSolo0119 that's the same guy that played General Kael in "Willow"???
I didn't know that
@@MOSchops-xu2ei I didn't realize that he'd played 2 different characters in Raiders
He is also technically in Indiana Jones and the last crusade (he plays a Gestapo officer that indy fights but the scene ended up getting cut but he is still credited though)

"I heard the same scream"
Well you likely heared it many many times by now. It is called the Wilhelm Scream, it is used for movies for years now and even back than was a somewhat well known insider that comes up in SO MANY movies
That famous scream is a Wilhelm Scream. It's been in movies for decades. It's kind of an inside joke.
And this was the moment where all Sam types went “so you’re telling me there’s a chance!”
Depending on how good your hearing is, that 'scream' has been in almost every single action or adventure movie since 1977.
The Wilhelm Scream was first used in the 1951 film "Distant Drums" for a guy getting eaten by a crocodile
Actually, it's been around a lot longer than that
The "Wilhelm Scream" has been used since the 50's
@@karlsmith2570 wasn’t it some guy’s real scream in a Western movie when he got shot off a horse? I might be making this up
Always makes me smile when I hear it
Always makes me smile when I hear it
* I have to admit Duaf, your reactions to this one cracked me up several times lol, especially the screaming beaver. I wasn't expecting that lol. Great reaction video.
The Wilhelm scream is a stock sound effect that has been used in a number of films and TV series, beginning in 1951 with the film Distant Drums. The scream is usually used when someone is shot, falls from a great height, or is thrown from an explosion. The sound is named after Private Wilhelm, a character in The Charge at Feather River,
If you want to test those stunts, react to Mythbusters
Billy was a big step down from Marion. The actress was Steven Spielberg's wife, btw.
She wasn't his wife until after this movie though
*Willie*
Except this movie happened first, so his fling with Willie predates his reunion with Marion.
13:44 Take a moment and appreciate one of my favorite moments in all of movie history! It is a moment that is absolutely brilliant and very under appreciated! I love that moment for three reasons!
1. Indiana Jones never sees him.
2. The audience or much of the audience also never sees him until he strikes!
3. This is all despite the fact that he is hiding in plain sight!
Brilliant setup and execution! This scene needs to be appreciated more than it is!
26:37 His name is Amrish Puri. He was an Indian actor, who was an important figure in Indian theatre and cinema. He is remembered for playing iconic villainous roles in Hindi cinema as well as other Indian and international film industries.
"You've got a voodoo doll? What kind of sorcery is this?"
Voodoo, you just said it. lol
Indiana Jones was never really meant to be realistic. It was an homage to '30s/'40s pulp adventure movies. There was big anniversary DVD box set years ago that I still have, with a "making of" documentary they'd shot for it, and they talked to the stunt coordinator for the movie and he was saying how Spielberg was pitching Raiders of the Lost Ark to him and was trying to describe Jones and after he rambled for a few minutes the coordinator apparently just asked him "Does he ever lose his hat?" Spielberg said no, "Say no more, I understand completely." lol
lol
That scream you keep hearing is the Wilhelm Scream. It’s a sound effect used in tons of movies. It’s in Star Wars too.
Fun Facts:
The club at the start is called Club Obi-Wan & also the man who shows Indy, Short Round & Willie to the plane in Dan Aykroyd of Ghostbusters / Blues Brothers etc fame.
the little boy named "Shorty" is perhaps the grandfather of "Data" from the 1985 movie "the goonies" 😄
I think the original idea behind was just to make old school "serial" movies. They don't need to have a continuity, if they don't want to. Just like early James Bond films, where everything sort of resets when the need it to, while still hanging on to some elements or plot points if useful. With Indy-series the continuity came as an aftertought with some novelisations and a prequel television series. Simply put: they were making it up as they went along.
Well yeah and each movie tells its own story, with only the character of Indy to really be the main point.
The Temple of Doom takes place at an earlier time than Raiders of the Lost Ark.
Yeah, I tried to get her to watch this one first over on her Patreon in order to get the full flow of Indy's character arc (something those of us who saw the movies in real time never got to experience), but, alas, all the 'release order' zealots overruled me. 🙄
No chickens were harmed during the making of this movie!
The creatures that were inside of that stuffed python at the feast are called caecilians. They're burrowing limbless amphibians but often get confused for eels, snakes or even giant worms but they have rows of shark like teeth, tiny tentacles under their eyes and many are poisonous, so no one would really eat them. They're really fascinating creatures that most people don't even know exist.
17:15 The recurring theme in Indiana Jones is that religion folklore and tales are true. Ark of the Covenant comes from Judaism, and all this with magic and taking a person's heart out and Sankara Stones come from Hinduism. The next movie centers around Christianity
The Wilhelm Scream is used in pretty much every movie ever made. It's a staple in Hollywood.
The Wilhelm scream is a stock sound effect that has been used in a number of films and TV series, beginning in 1951 with the film Distant Drums. The scream is usually used when someone is shot, falls from a great height, or is thrown from an explosion. The sound is named after Private Wilhelm, a character in The Charge at Feather River, a 1953 Western in which the character gets shot in the thigh with an arrow. This was its first use following its inclusion in the Warner Bros. stock sound library, although The Charge at Feather River is believed to have been the third film to use the effect. The scream is believed to be voiced by actor Sheb Wooley.
Don't worry. A lot of people didn't like the romance in this movie even when it came out. There were a lot of things they didn't like.
It was more comedy romance than lovey dovey romance.
@@dan_hitchman007 That was ok, but most people found Willie annoying.
@@gastronomist Spielberg's marriage was falling apart and he was having an affair with Capshaw during production of "Temple." His attitude toward the character of Willie (or any female protagonist he and Lucas would have come up with) instilled a 40's era annoying comedic shrew into the direction of Kate's character. Spielberg even said he was in a dark place at the time of making this film.
Not even just the romance, this was easily the weakest of the three classic Indy films on just about every front.
@@dan_hitchman007 I've heard that too, but I also just watched something where he was saying how great he thought Willie was as a character.
'That scream' is referred to as the Wilhelm Scream. It is in many, many, many movies
"Is he that innocent?" (sees Indy launch a flaming kabob into a guy's torso)
The really big Thuggee guard was played by Pat Roach. He also played both really big villain thugs in Raiders, the big Nepali/Sherpa in the fight in Marion's bar and the Nazi who fights Indy under the spinning plane. It was a gag for him to be a really huge thug in each of these three Indiana Jones films.
When i was a kid this one was my favourite (not anymore because the third is just a perfect film), i love the dark vibe of temple of doom, it's like Indy going to hell and back
Seven minutes in, and I'm laughing at your determination that we care about the chickens. XD
this movie actually takes place before Raiders of the Lost Ark
People literally forget that this Movie is a Prequel to Raiders
And yet, in Raiders, he claims not to be a believer in the supernatural, despite his experience in India. This in turn raises the question of why he's bothered about the Germans finding the Ark if he doesn't believe it has otherworldly powers.
This movie created too many continuity issues. For starters:
-Where the hell were Willie and Short Round during Raiders of the Lost Ark, Last Crusade, and Kingdom of the Crystal Skull?
-Why would Indy abandon an orphan asian boy like Short Round?
-What made Indy ditch Willie just so he could reconnect with Marion?
AND
-How did Indy learn how to fly so fast?
(In Temple of Doom, he said he couldn't fly a plane but in Last Crusade, he can but he doesn't know how to land.)
The Willie never being seen again didn't bother me. Indy was originally conceived as a James Bond type character with a girl in every port. Marion was kinda the exception which is why they made the next movie a prequel, as we're supposed to assume he settled on one girl with Marion. But I didn't see any reason that Willie wasn't gone as soon as they got back to civilization. Short Round never being seen or mentioned again bothered me. Because it does come off as abandoning a kid. Especially since in the novelization, Short Round thought that he was going back to the States with Dr. Jones and he was going to adopt him.
@@loudboy317 Short Round moved to the Goon docks in Astoria OR
Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade will always be my fav Indy film 😎
Interestingly this movie is actually a Prequel. It takes place one year before the first film.
George and his sub par prequels.
@@tdegrddeehjgd Wrong. This movie is good. As are the Star Wars Prequels. Bless George for his creativity.

@@ComeOnIsSuchAJoy 99% of the time I would say release order is the way to go, but as far as Indy goes anyone saying it should be watched chronologically would get no argument from me
After seeing the face you made with the "bugs" in Indy's previous reaction, I was looking forward to seeing you react when I saw Cate Capshaw, literally covered with bugs of all kinds hahahahahahaha
In the Indiana Jones universe the diamond from the beginning is the Peacock’s eye which once belonged to Alexander The Great and it was part of the golden peacock statue and that diamond was used as a statue’s eye during Alexander’s reign
I believe the people of the village were thanking Indy, Willie and Short Round for coming to help bring back their kids and save their village. They may have prayed to their Indian god Shiva to send someone to help them and see their arrival as the answer to their prayers.
The scream at 5:18 is known as the Wilhelm scream. Started in 1951 and used in many movies and also some video game like Grand Theft Auto.
Shorty and all his gadgets went to the US and became part of "The Goonies" along with "Sam" of "Lord of the rings" :)
The things is, that India has probably the largest population of vegetarians in the World. And the few that does eat meat usually only eat chicken, lamb and goat.
Everything you said is true except it’s not “a few” that eat meat. The vegetarian cuisine is mostly southern, while in the north they eat meat.
Not hard since they also have the one of the largest population :)
Never seen anyone react this emotionally to this film before. Wonderful!
The Kali Ma chant has a tendency to stick with you to the very end of your days
Common movie trope: a couple becomes infatuated with each other after facing danger together.
The guy that got flattened in the rock crusher is the same guy that both got a chair broken over him (while his arm was on fire) in Raiders in Marions bar, and got chopped up by the propeller
If memory serves me right, Willie from this movie was for long, (if not still) considered for one of roles who screamed sooo much through whole movie.
Wow, I'm impressed. You are really the first person that cared about the chickens on the plane! And you noticed too the various water levels in the different takes at the end.
"Nobody cares about the chickens."
This belongs on a t-shirt now.
Merch! Merch! Merch!
I love the fact that Short Round is also a Goonie :)
5:21 that scream is the "Wilhelm Scream", it's been in a LOT of movies since the early 50's.
There are several TH-cam compilations of it, pretty funny.
I'd be intrigued by a "Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead"-style story about the 2 Chinese pilots working for gangster Lao Che who bailed out in their parachutes in the middle of the Himalayas. They'd have to get to civilization from extremely harsh terrain, report back to their boss, who would eventually learn that Indiana Jones survived and likely punish them. It could be quite the Henchmen's Adventure.
"Where are you parents!?" Omg I couldn't stop laughing.
My favorite scene from all the movies with the Indiana Jones music is when the kids get back to their families.
29:55 Short Round doesn't appear in any of the other movies, but other media provides more details of his life. His real name is Wan Li and Indy took him back to the US following this adventure and set him up in boarding school. They shared several further adventures over the years.
29:20 indie took sort round with him to america, where short round was adopted by a cuple of indies friends, and than, he went to college and became an archeologist just like indie :) they remaided frieds troughout their lives.
16:25 Don't worry, Duaffy. We feel your anger. It gives you focus and makes you stronger.....oh, wrong franchise.
Another Ester egg as Indy boards the plane and talks to Lao Che you can see 2 gentlemen walking by in the background - they are Steven Spielberg & George Lucas. Though one needs a big TV.
I'm sure someone else has mentioned it, but this movie takes place chronologically before Raiders of the Lost Ark.
1:46 "How do you do? I am Jones. _Indy_ Jones. I like my Martini _shaken;_ not _stirred."_
Yes that sound effect is in everything from this to star wars and lotr Wilhelm sound effect. The song anything goes is really good Cole porter the lyrics in English are great ( in olden days a glimpse of stockings was looked on as something shocking but now God knows anything goes)
only the last two are missing, "The last Crusade" and "The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull", which by the way, are very good too.
IMHO, Raiders and Doom are the ONLY Indy movies worth watching...
@@k.t.5405 The first and the 3nd are the best.
@@fastertove agreed, RAIDERS is one of the best movies ever made... DOOM is a GREAT follow up (impossible to surpass Raiders) and is a worthy sequel (prequel). On the other hand Crusade and Crystal Skull? Completely UNWATCHABLE imho.
There is book more technically a journal called The Lost Journal of Indiana Jones and it shows that the kid Short Round became and Archeologist. I highly reccomend that book.
Love the cut away to the groundhog screaming LOL.
The darkest and the most violent Indiana Jones movie ever made. This film is the reason why the PG-13 rating was made. Red Dawn and Dreamscape were released with PG-13 ratings.
Yeah, RD was the first. On Aug. 10, 1984, only three months after parents were outraged over the release of PG-rated "Temple of Doom," "Red Dawn," a drama starring Patrick Swayze, became the first film to be released with the PG-13 rating.
Usually it’s considered one of the movies that inspired the PG-13 rating, but not the only one. Gremlins is another that caused a lot of outrage as a PG-rated movie.
Funny enough, Last Crusade was way less violent than the first two, but it still got a PG-13.
There were two reasons, actually. This film and Gremlins.
I never really noticed but Willie becomes real useful halfway through this movie, like she really gets over herself and helps out
That scream you noticed... well, congratulations! You find the Wilhelm Scream! The most iconic scream in the history of Hollywood. And let me tell you another thing: maybe you don't Know it, but you had hear it many times before.
Here's some link for you to know about the famous Wilhelm Scream: th-cam.com/video/UfRPPMXY5SQ/w-d-xo.html
"That Scream" is the Wilhelm Scream! It's in all the original Star Wars movies, and thousands of other movies and TV shows.
Great video! I'm so glad you're watching one of the greatest trilogies of all time!
I’m not sure if you noticed, the guy with the bad English accent on the runway was actually a cameo by Dan Ackroyd. Also, the Head Guard Indy fights on the conveyor belt is the same actor, Pat Roach, who he fought on the tarmac in “Raiders”. Remember the guy that went through the propellers? He also shows up in “Crusade”. Let’s see if you can pick him.
Fun fact, the actor playing Shorty couldn't read english so he improvised his lines with the direction he had, Willie is played by the wife of Steven Spielberg the director and the scene where they were surrounded by gross insects, the insects were real ^^ and this movie takes place before the first one as you said
Interesting that he couldn't read English. This reaction made me notice he pronounced "Kali" wrong and I never knew what he meant to say until just now when I saw the subtitle. I figured the mistake came from reading the word incorrectly--guess not!
Keep in mind for the Indiana Jones movies, they were very much invoking the themes and feel of the old 1930's and 40's serials like Buck Rodgers and such, ones where each story was encapsulated in its own, with little to do with the rest of the stories other than the main character just going on another adventure. Its not like today where multiple movies HAVE to all link up together very tightly and where all the characters carry over somehow. In the three main Indy films (the fourth movie doesn't count) other than Indy, only Marcus Brody and Sala are the two other side characters we see that were in more than one movie. Other than that, his love interests and whatnot do not factor into the adventure.
Think of them almost like the James Bond movies, the older ones, where there would be new Bond Girls all the time, new villains, just a new adventure with each story.
Also there is no continuity to pulp cliffhangers from the 30s..a hero had a different damsel in distress with a gun or a whip. Tarzan and Jane, Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers, Doc Savage, The Phantom and the Shadow are born out of that era of storytelling..these are ubermasculine man's man archetypes that conquer and defeat what they are up against. These characters were in the magazines BEFORE superheroes like Batman and Superman were created and superheroes would replace such stories in comic book literature. And they are derived from those characters in terms of their viewpoint and beating their villains which were originally like Indy fighting Nazis and Communists and then they developed colorful super villians later on.The Good is clear and evil is also absolute as the Nazis are depicted. There is no gray area or in between. But I understand your preference.
It's weird this movie has a call back to Raiders Of The Lost Ark because Temple Of Doom is a prequel.
Which call back?
@@TazorNissen The "duel" where he shoots the guys. And then in this where his gun is missing.
@@QuayNemSorr
Ah yes, forgot about that.
Technically it isn't a call back.
Yep, the events in DOOM take place in '35.....RAIDERS takes place in '37
Can we have a moment of silence for the chickens....
I adore this comment!!!! 🥰
That scream is the Wilhelm scream. I think it originally comes from a Western. It's in lots of movies.
reply to the 17:53 mark...you have to remember majority of women love somewhat rude bad boy's and that is because ladies see them as a challenge to change the guy into a good polite guy...the only time single women go for a already good guy's is when they have reached a certain age like around in their 50's because they have reached the half way point in their life where a life changing challenge isn't fun anymore
You know, Jaba the Hutt would probably love the food from that palace. Also you have to watch The Goonies after seeing this movie. You'll love it :-) Shorty is in it, and Sam back when he was a little kid.
Yes, you did. It´s the "Whilhem scream", It is a classic of adventure cinema and a private joke between filmmakers
I think a Clone Wars episode make a reference to that dance from the beginning I think it was from the episode that Obi Wan (nice reference that this movie made to that club) and Quinlan Vos were after Ziro.
You did hear the same scream. It's called "The Wilhelm" and you will hear it in just about every film that a sound person can put it in. It's an inside thing. Once you identify it you cam't unhear it.
Shortround was in college during the time that Indy perused Ark. Dr. Jones valued an education above all else.
i saw this movie about 7 times in the theater and countless times on vhs and dvd.
And i never thought about the poor chickens (and their families). We can only hope they escaped in a deleted scene. I heard they will show up in Indiana Jones 5 - The Coop of Doom.
min 16:21 "they're gonna take the hat! Aaaargh!!!!SHHHHHHHHIIIIIEEEETT!" 🙈🤣🙈🤣🙈🤣
The kid ended up moving to Astoria Oregon and joined the Goonies
Yes and played along a young Sean Astin who would later play Sam whom Duaffy mentions. So the circle closes.
At the point of impact where the plane crashed, killing those innocent chickens now stands a Chipotle. RIP you delicious birds.
Despite its problems, I really enjoy this one. Giving Indy a kid sidekick to pal around with amps up the humor (for more Short-round, check out The Goonies), and Willie is great satire of the damsel in distress trope. You will probably enjoy The Last Crusade best of all.
"Satire of the damsel in distress trope." Thanks for the insight, I hadn't thought of it that way before.
