The actor that played Short Round pretty much left acting to avoid playing Asian arche/stereotypes like this. Went into martial arts choreography and recently returned to acting in Everything Everywhere All At Once.
And just won a GOLDEN GLOBE AWARD!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS TO HIM
Loved that movie. And fun fact: he was also in "The Goonies".
Might even win an Oscar what a comeback!
He won the Oscar!
Wait, hold, hold up ✋🏽🙅🏽♂️
He didn’t want to be stereotyped as Asian and decided martial arts was the antidote? What were his other choices, mathematician or software engineer?
Did you make a sarcastic post and it went over my head? 🤔
Fun fact: In the special features for Temple of Doom, they reveal that the actress playing Willy didn't actually know how to scream well, so she had to practice screaming for the movie.
I find it a bit funny though that the thing critic hates the most in this movie was something the actress was trying her hardest to do. :) I think that she serves her purpose though.
I forget the actual name of it but in acting/theatre classes they teach you to like cap your voice basically you learn how to yell/scream but not sound too high pitched or hysterical. So you are right its not as easy as many would think it is.
awesome astronaut r u kidding that sounds absolutely ridiculous and yet at the same time I don't doubt it
I had to do acting in a student film, and they wanted me to scream but I didn't know how to... I've never needed to scream, and I doubt I'll ever scream. They ended up having me do something else so I didn't have to scream, lmao...
I'm surprised NC didn't bring up Romancing The Stone.
"I'm a singer! I could lose my voice!"
One can only hope!
Mark 35950 fingers crossed 🤞🏻
No one can only pray to god and jesus
Agreed
Because she was so casted in this film for her mouth's "singing abilities" and not any other vocal talents I'm not at liberty to describe
That Chinese guy who dies near the start actually had a story in the comics with Lao Che killing his family and taking him into captivity and eventually befriending Indy
Emerald Wolf This is the first time I’ve found someone with Anakin as their icon without their name being Anakin
Emerald Wolf Several actual. I’m even subscribed to one after a comment he made on sand
@The God Emperor Himself Yep, first Issue was in September 1981, after the raiders of the lost ark movie was made
He's also in the Indiana jones and the emperor's tomb game
Dude your profile pic being greg that's just too cool
In the Lego version I looved the Temple of Doom levels. Willies power was to scream, it was fun to play her.
I love that game
Same!
Her only use
Lucky I never got that game
Okay, that's pretty funny (and clever)
did anyone else play the Lego Indiana Jones game?
yup
Oddly enough I've been replaying it recently and this came up on youtube recommendations
yes
yes
really borde yeah
5:36 Say what you will, Doug. But that kid grew up to win an oscar.
Yeah
Doug is an idiot.
Oscars are so manipulated nowadays
Yeah adult him child him still got a bad role.
@@kunalkoragRight. It's like saying The Rock wasn't a goofball when he first came into professional wrestling. Just because he became a huge star later in his life doesn't mean he didn't take on some bad gigs.
In Shortround’s defense, I think he’s a great character because it doesn’t matter that he screams. He screams because all his lines are said in urgent times, which adds to the urgency!
Same! I love me some plucky kid characters.
"Thank you for sending the annoying white woman away, we will celebrate by watching Rob Schneider movies"
Thank you for writing this comment for me, I didn't notice this in the video! :)
thats all a lot of top comments are. "LOL ILL JUST REPEAT WHAT WAS SAID IN THE VIDEO AND GET A TON OF THUMBS UP." why are people this stupid.
Does Rob Schneider even make movies anymore?
Well thychaos, I have over 233 likes where you only have 1. If it works, it ain't stupid ;)
all that proves is that there are a bunch of retards on youtube. if your goal was to get approval from these people, i feel sorry for you.
I actually like Short Round. I found him very endearing and a welcome respite from some of the darker elements in the story. The female lead, yeah she is fecking irritating.
True true
Steven Spielberg said that he did not enjoy this film as much as the rest of the Indiana Jones films, but said that it was a great experience for him, because he met his future wife, Kate Capshaw, during the production of this movie.
The "chilled monkey brains" were made from custard and raspberry sauce.
The "giant vampire bats" that are shown in the movie, were actually fruit bats. Vampire bats are a lot smaller.
According to some sources, Harrison Ford was not entirely comfortable with the film's story and not entirely happy with how the film turned out.
In the original draft, there was supposed to be a motorcycle chase scene across the Great Wall of China. However, the Chinese government refused to grant the permission of filming.
The three main characters are named after dogs. Short Round was named after screenwriter Willard Huyck's dog, which was named after the orphan in The Steel Helmet (1951). Willie was named after Steven Spielberg's dog and Indiana was named after George Lucas' dog.
Kate Capshaw had to be taught how to scream.
As he knew that he would spend a large portion of film shirtless, Harrison Ford underwent a strict weightlifting regimen to prepare for the film. In an interview on the DVD release, he credits being in such good shape for his quick recovery from a back injury while filming.
Kate Capshaw was thrilled at the opportunity of singing and dancing in the opening musical number, but her dress was so tight there was very little movement she could attempt without ripping it.
Willie Scott (Kate Capshaw) screams a grand total of 71 times throughout the movie.
For the bug chamber sequence, Kate Capshaw was really covered with over two thousand insects. She took sedatives prior to the scene to get over her initial fear, and claimed "they definitely worked".
There was a scene involving Kate Capshaw and a rather large snake which had to be cut, as Capshaw was having panic attacks at the very prospect of it. Steven Spielberg jokingly says that the only reason Kate married him later was because he allowed the scene to be cut.
The nightclub in the opening scene is called Club Obi-Wan, an homage to the Star Wars character.
Kate Capshaw received a black eye in the runaway mine cart sequence. The next day when she reported to work, everybody else on the set was wearing a black smudge under their eye.
Anything else would be fine...
But why in god's name did they not build a set of the Great Wall ? I've got that image seared in my brain now, woulda been great.
@@Henry-nk9wx Didn't one of the Tomb Raider films (under Jolie's time) find a work around for that? Because there was a scene where Lara rides a motorbike on the Great Wall.
Yep, 100% undeniable facts. But overall I thought it was a great movie.
Interesting
“Steven Spielberg jokingly says that the only reason Kate married him later was because he allowed the scene to be cut”
Yeah, nothing to do white the fact the dude is a billionaire 😂😂
18:21 well duh, it’s called temple of doom, not temple of happy fun time
Fair
Yeah I know
3:39 Does anybody else find it funny that a platinum blonde named Elsa fell to her death because she wouldn't "let it go?"
It would have funnier if she died by ice.
10/10 best comment.
AND YOUR WINNEEER!!!
Forshadowing 100
I like the movie but I know how bad it is.
The screenwriters obviously dropped a gallon of LSD and watched a history channel special on the ancient Aztecs
ALL THESE SQUARES MAKE A CIRCLE ALL THESE SQUARES MAKE A CIRCLE
Not really, pot and LSD were barely affected. I could have easily gotten my hands on some in the 80s if I wanted to (and some of my friends did).
Yes (or at least LSD, I'm not positive about pot), during the '60s...
If they're Aztecs wouldn't charles Receski be referring to Crystal Skull? Also, two Billionaires in the entertainment industry having a hard time finding LSD?
@@davidjames579 Crystal Skull was Mayan culture. Not Aztecs.
The Indian Doc Brown line still has me in tears till this day.
To me he looks like larry from the three stooges if his hair color and skin color were swapped
Lol
Out of the first three, yes it’s the worst. But it doesn’t suck as bad as the Critic seems to think. It has cool sets, badass Indy moments, and even some nice brutal violence.
It's not even the worst of the three. Critic is just too jaded while looking back at an older movie and judging it by today's standards.
@@Smokr really? I think you’re the first person I’ve ever heard think it’s not the worst of the original trilogy
Its my favorite of the trilogy, always has been
@@dr.k8610 it’s my favorite of the original trilogy as well. Obviously, part of it is nostalgia (it was my first Indy movie), and I can appreciate the cinematic masterpiece that Raiders is, and can agree that it is, objectively, the actual best of the four. But I just have the fondest memories watching Temple of Doom with family and friends, and it’s just the wackiest of the four (yes, I too don’t think Crystal Skull is a terrible movie either, just the weakest entry of the bunch) I love wacky, weird shit and Temple of Doom passes with flying colors.
It’s your opinion whether it’s bad or not.
Can't wait for "Indiana Jones 5: Harrison Ford needs an ambulance"
Miss X no Indiana jones 5: indi broke his hip.
Derpy Whooves Indiana Jones 6: Indy crashed his plane
Miss X No
Indiana Jones 5:
Were bragging the franchise out at this point
Wait the movie still going to happen
Alpha then free Tharp Indiana Jones and Heaven
I love this movie. It's stupid, it's it's clumsy, but it's fun. I agree Willy is annoying, but I love Short Round. He just seems like someone I'd like around
Short Round is the only redeeming feature of this movie
I'd like Short Round around. I'd like to use a round on Willy.
I didnt find Willy too annoying in my opinon. I really enjoyed this movie
Caleb Helterbrand don't you mean short around 😏
QP Morris me neither. I saw this movie first. Is it not supposed to be silly? It's the 80s. Indian Doc Brown tho ? Funny comment.
The fact that team Snob actually did know the villain's name but couldn't say it for the sake of the bit sparks so much damn joy...
The guy who played Short Round just won an Oscar for Everything Everywhere All At Once
I hope I'm not the only who knows that Temple of Doom is a prequel to Raiders, not a sequel. Raiders is set in 1936, whereas Temple of Doom is set in 1935. Temple of Doom is a prequel.
This should have been a warning to us in 1997.
BatmanFan 1990 I always wondered if the date was a film flub. The reason I say that is because, like the Star Wars Trilogy, the story for Indiana Jones got away from George Lucas while he was writing it. The awesome mining cart scene, for example, was something he couldn't use in Raiders. So maybe setting Temple in the year 1935 was a mistake.
i knew that
i also forgot that thank you random stranger
It makes no difference. There is minimal continuity between the first 3 movies.
I don't like sand.
The best is "The Last Crusade".
Why?
A 100% more Sean Connery.
12:50 those "foods" are the most disgusting thing I've ever seen ... if anyone were to willfully eat that ... they are a total disgrace to the entirety of nature .. HUMAN OR OTHERWISE ! there IS NOT , AND THERE CANNOT be a single thing more incredibly horrible to eat than what is at that table
Dynasty Lobster Sounds like youve never tried my wife's cooking *buh dum tiss*
Illumination! :)
Fatman in Paradise my favourite too
Fatman in Paradise its my favorite as well
Club Obi Wan.. I see what you did there, Lucas..
Yeah I would say that using a raft as a parachute is significantly more believable than surviving a nuclear blast at ground zero inside of a refrigerator.
I mean yeah, raft and parachute made with similar materials. A fridge though is not therefore it is not nuke proof.
@@lemonoid7793yeah
It’s not that he couldn’t survive in a fridge from a nuke. It’s the way it was presented. Realistically, the fridge wouldn’t go flying through the air. It would most likely stay in the same spot. The heat and radiation would drop off rather quickly since the doom town was miles away from the nuke being tested, and there have been similar tests done in real life during the 50s. Not with people mind you, but with food. A test conducted in the 50s involved storing food in a fridge in a stone house. After the bomb went off, the team went to the house, which was still standing, opened the fridge and found the food completely in tact and free of radiation. So it’s not that unrealistic for Indy to survive, it’s unrealistic in the way it was shown
His name is Amrish Puri. Complete badass when it comes to acting as a villain. He passed away almost unnoticed.
Philip Dmello passed away yes, but not unnoticed. he was THE guy to play a villain in Indian cinema. I watched this movie just to see his acting and not Indiana, and he nails it. also I agree on badass part.
He is definitely one of the best villains in Indiana Jones that’s sad he has passed away Rest In Peace
Yes, rest in peace, you magnificent actor. Thank you for the childhood traumatization- I mean memories...haha.
No that was the name of the actor.. The characters name is mola ram
Princess Vespa in "Spaceballs" was a better and funnier version of the spilt rich girl character. They didn't make her annoying and had the right level of funny. Willie on the other hand.........
Gotta wonder if Princess Vespa's personality wasn't inspired by Mel Brooks watching Temple of Doom.
‘’Its my industrial sized hairdryer AND I CANT LIVE WITHOUT IT’’
... and go to hell !
I got to meet the actress, such a nice person
@@evansabella9251 no u didn't stop lying bot
Raiders of the Lost Ark is still my favorite of the trilogy, but I gotta laugh at the fact that you could completely take Indy out of the movie and nothing would change. The Nazis would still get the Ark, and open it, and die.
y e e t if anything, Indy made the situation worse, if he didn't get involved, all the Nazis would die, then Hitler would send someone to figure it out, they'd die, and continuously until we've eradicated the entire German army.
y e e t this has been debunked bro
Thank you Amy. xD
There’s a video on TH-cam called raiding indys lost character ark. You should watch it, but basically the whole point is that the trilogy is about the journey not the destination
y e e t It still kind of cracks me up that the Nazis stole a sacred Hebrew artifact that legend says can Channel the power of the HEBREW GOD and somehow thought they could weaponize it against their enemies, including the Hebrews. I mean, what did they THINK was going to happen?
I love how Temple of Doom was the film that led to the creation of the PG-13 rating. I still remember how shocked I was when looking at the box of my grandmother’s VHS copy and seeing the PG rating and thing “WTF?!? Were the people tasked with issuing the rating asleep thru half the film or taking a bathroom break during the sacrifice scene??”
I see
It led to the creation but wasn’t the first fil to be/wasn’t rated PG-13, only the outrage afterwards along with Gremlins(also PG) resulted in the creation and issuing of the PG-13 rating.
@@thatdude5353 yeah i’v heard
At least Short Round is more tolerable than Scrappy Doo
well, he actually does something useful for one...
True, but that is setting the bar pretty low!
I guess it's popular because Temple of Doom came out during a simpler time when audiences don't care about realism and just want to see cool guys do cool stuffs, no matter how ridiculous, while Crystal Skull came out during modern times where campiness or "cheesiness" is dying out
Exactly. To me, both Indy 2 and 4 were equally cheesy. Indy 1 and 3 at least had some religious mythos backing it up. But people excuse 2 while shitting on 4. It's like bitching about the Prequels being kiddy flicks while forgetting that the Original Trilogy was also seen as a series for kids.
@gothatway09 Yeah, I wasn't born yet during the 80s. I also didn't know exactly when this movie came out when I made that comment years ago, and I simply thought it came out during Nostalgia Critic's generation and people loved it
.....so ppl actually hated it in the 80s?
This movie was always supposed to be a cheesy satire/homage of 1930's serials. I don't get why people expect these movies to be realistic or take themselves super seriously.
"where campiness or "cheesiness" is dying out" ??? Ever seen a Fast & the Furious movie?
@@MrStGeorgeIllawarra actually no, I don't care about cars and racing movies at all.
Nostalgia critic: let me introduce you to the 2nd most annoying character in the film: short round
Indiana: don't talk to me or my son ever again
Personally I love temple of doom. Indiana Jones was always meant to be b movies. All of them have corny parts, but that’s what I like about it. Movies are meant to take you out of real life so you can relax and this movie does that perfectly. Not to mention that temple of doom has the best score out of all of them (all of them have incredible scores) thanks to the brilliant John Williams. Also, the last 45 min of this movie is the best part of any Indy movie...and that’s saying A LOT
I agree. That cart chase is one of my favorite scenes in movies. I also I lpve the guy being flatten just before the chase
The 3 fight scenes are great
The slave driver fight is violent and action packed
The minecart chase is very intense and cool
And the bridge battle is extremley intense because anyone could fall off with one wrong move
I liked crystal skull better than this movie, the plot was just so convoluted and willie was the worst
Maximator bruh the plot was incredibly easy to follow lol
Monky the plot was easy to follow it just didn’t make any sense, that’s what I mean by convoluted
The ritual scene actually traumatized me when I was a child. Im now 25 and still think its one of the most horrifying movie scene I've ever seen
I will not watch it. Completely skipped that part out of this video, I genuinely cannot think of a worse fate than the one that dude suffered.
Wonder why that inspired the PG-13 rating...
Really I was more traumatized by the food scene I know it fake but still
Agreed, I love the plot of the film, but they went too far with the ritual scene
I love this movie more than the other two because of that scene. I was 10 when I first saw it.
I feel like I'm always telling people this. They tested the floatation raft from a plane on Mythbusters. IT IS 100% POSSIBLE. It is actually one of the more realistic things in the movie, despite how crazy it looks. The fridge, on the other hand is INSANE. Literally no comparison between the two.
Christopher Eves really? could you tell me where to find that?
I'm sure at least part of that myth is on TH-cam. Just google "Mythbusters Indiana Jones Life Raft". They put their dummy "Buster" in the raft, dropped it from a plane and it floated down quite gently.
The fridge one is based on how a somebody who survived the bombing of Hiroshima claims his grandfather survived. There is some sense in it, because when dealing with such extreme conditions, whatever is there between you and the blast will absorb some of the punishment before it reaches you. Even what clothing you're wearing can help. That said, Indy was probably hit by a much more powerful bomb at a far closer range, so you'd need much more than a fridge to stand a chance.
No, it would not work. You would tip over especially since in the movie they aren't wearing any harness or positioned evenly for proper weight distribution. At the height they fell and the manner in which they fell, it is not realistic at all.
yeah, the raft thing is unlikely, as the weight distribution in the film is not as even as in the experiment mythbusters tested, but still possible.
and the fridge would be ok if he didnt fly for a mile in the air. If it was just the shockwave and radiation, it would be totally believable, but incinerating heat blast and then the impact from flying for a mile and landing on the solid ground is just too unrealistic
Looking back at this video, I think critic owes Ke huy quan an apology since he won an Oscar’s for everything everywhere all at once.
Yeah I know
In the Lego game, Willie can scream so loud it shatters any glass surface. That's seriously her superpower. Not sure how to feel about that.
Probably great, since Willie is no longer useless! XD
Neither do I
To be honest, the one I like the most is The Last Crusade
Last Crusade is love. Last Crusade is life.
The Last Crusade is the best movie. It has better fights. I never understood why they didn't kill off Toht during the truck chase. He was a henchman, brute force, why have him at the Ark opening? Last Crusade got it right when they killed off Voght with the awesome tank segment.
12:50 those "foods" are the most disgusting thing I've ever seen ... if anyone were to willfully eat that ... they are a total disgrace to the entirety of nature .. HUMAN OR OTHERWISE ! there IS NOT , AND THERE CANNOT be a single thing more incredibly horrible to eat than what is at that table
Deus vult.
*"I never understood why they didn't kill off Toht during the truck chase. He was a henchman, brute force, why have him at the Ark opening?"*
I guess this is why I like Last Crusade least and you like it best.
Oh jeez, unless we're *counting* Kingdom, lol.
I always liked that Temple of Doom was both the silliest and the darkest of the three. I liked it's tonal confusion.
Dingoes8MeBabies I'm guessing Indiana became a believer that's why the you betrayed Shiva line gets said.
If this movie got made today it would be Rated R.
@Jason Not really, tumblr would've frothed at the mouth so much at it the movie could as well get cancelled altogether.
Dingoes8MeBabies I think there is 4 movies
animalparty Currently yes Raiders of the lost ark, Temple of Doom, The Last Crusade, and the very hated Kingdom of the Crystal skulls.
It be great to see Indiana Jones searching for buried treasure that some infamous Pirate buried while pursued by Pirates.
Actually, no, it's the silliness that kept it from getting a complete R-rating at the time. The tone is not confused; it's two polar opposites that take a very twisted, bizzarre, tongue-in-cheek and gruesome look into a dark tale/myth.
I don't know why he's complaining about the violence and dark imagery.
The filmmakers had to be creative.
Think about it. What else can be worse than the *Nazis* ?
Genocide.....wait
. . . S o v i e t U n i o n ? ? ?
Yeah, I got nothin'.
@A Frustrated Gamer racist
A Frustrated Gamer that was dark and a little too out of place. But I appreciate the humor
@A Frustrated Gamer it's not a fact, so your still racist.
Funnily enough shortround was the most helpful person in the franchise
Yeah better than mutt
Temple of Doom isn't awful, but it is the most ridiculous of the trilogy.
short round was my favorite character.
Yeah I like Short round. Willie annoyed the hell out of me though...
+Spotted Hyena Uh..well.
It is horrendous
Refrigerator nuke..... need I say more
Is Temple of Doom the worst of the three movies? Yes.
Is it still good? Yes.
gplechuckiii Thank you for not acknowledging that KOTCS exists 😂
Christopher Bucher He meant of the first three movies.
No, I didn't. There are only three movies.
gplechuckiii No there are 4 movies. No matter how much you hate it, Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is a Indiana Jones movie.
Relax man. It's just a joke.
Kate Capshaw is married to Stephen Spielberg, and the dress she wears at the beginning is very old and valuable
Yeah interesting
5:27 this kid would probably do well in a movie about the multiverse.
I think they called it Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
Wait........yeah, that's it.
Lol.
Not a lot of people know this, but Temple of Doom is actually a prequel to Raiders of the Lost Ark, with Raiders taking place in 1936, and Temple taking place in 1935, one year before the original. And the writers intentionally made Willie annoying so that Indy would have a reason to break up with her in time to get with Marion in Raiders.
Ok I get they didn't want to have conflict with the first movie bug did the audience have to suffer in the sake of continuity
At least in this movie his character was needed more than Raiders.
THAT'S. NOT. AN. EXCUSE. They could've killed her off or have them break up, at lease then my ears wouldn't be one step closer to deafness!
@Gavin Oshman He was adopted by a couple?
@Gavin Oshman He was going to appear in "The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull", in fact. But Spielberg and Lucas disregarded it. He appears on the marvel comics, rescuing once Indi from some pirates before going back to his boarding school.
I like Short Round. He's cute, and actually useful.
I can see his line reads being annoying, but he certainly was actually a decent sidekick.
Tippetarius He helped Brendan Fraser get into the computer club in Encino Man
Tippetarius he's the best
He flipped off the bad guys in goonies
better then sakura
And ten times better than Willie.
I love this movie. I don't care what people say.
Same Here
Hold up do people not like this movie?
I think I made that exact same statement on another TH-cam comment section. I feel the same.
@@Johan_Liebert___probably because the feel
This was the first Indiana Jones movie I saw, and I was 7 or 8. The part of the man pulling other people’s hearts gave me nightmares for weeks. I didn’t see another one until I was 15.
I saw Raiders and Temple of Doom when I was nine. I wasn't allowed to watch Last Crusade due to the PG-13 rating and I got in big trouble when I watched it behind my parents' back. I wasn't able to watch Crystal Skull until my parents started letting me view PG-13 content and after watching it, I felt like I didn't really miss anything good. Temple of Doom is still in my top 10 movies to this day and I'm almost 21.
Seriously I watched it a lot over the years since I was age 7
@@DarthSpiderMaulI watched it a lot as a kid because of me playing the Lego game
I have a soft spot for Short Round. Nothing to do with logic or quality, I just like him.
Ewwww..... :/
I like him too
I actually found him to be likeable and hilarious, so I can agree.
Short Round was the best part of that movie
This is the only film where Indiana's presence actually affects the film, he saves the Slaves. Yet in every other one if Indiana Jones isn't there. The ark is never found or a bunch of Nazi's die and in Last Crusade the holy grail is never found or a bunch of Nazi's die.
Critic's reaction to the fire death heart thing is funny as hell no matter how disturbing. 😂
@josephlegrand I thought it was the kids running away through the palace that alerted The British who were still staying there. So it without Indy freeing the kids, they wouldn't have known.
Actually without Indy in Raiders the Nazis would never found the Ark.
In Raiders, Marion would have been kidnapped/interrogated/tortured/killed by the nazis in Nepal if not for Indy's intervension. And the ark woldn't have been retrieved by the USA goverment.
6:10 Makes jokes about Lucas being racist.
6:25 Makes a stereotypical racist joke about Chinese people.
Damn, it took only 15 seconds for the Critic to do the same thing that he mocked Lucas for.
You mean like how Doug did his usual shtick of insulting Christianity right before he gripes about the movie being insensitive to Indian culture.
@@MrThankman360 Yeah, that.
Everyone knows by now; Doug is good at recounting movies (mostly), not criticizing them. His joke about the Chinese wasn't even set up fairly, given that a kid DID escape at the beginning and made it back to the village while he was there. He also acted like characters can't change their minds about things over the course of a movie's runtime. Yes, Doug, Indiana Jones is calling out to Shiva because he saw the stone's power first-hand. It's called "development", you must be new to movies, Doug.
He clearly says “Willy” and not “my Willy”
I don't think Lego likes Willie either. As proof, In The Lego Indiana Jones Video Game (and possibly the second one) Willie has an ability to scream to destroy glass objects.
Also doesn't help that they took a year to start making Temple of Doom sets.
i fully acknowledge this films flaws, but this movie is a fun as hell
is like the "least good" of a fantastic trilogy, wich means is a pretty fucking cool movie anyways
I have no idea why I read the comment in the voice of your profile pic character.
SHOW ME WHAT YOU GOT.
ingibingi2000 I read that in the voice of your profile picture which made it so much better.
If you love this movie, then you love it for the right reasons. Captain Hindsight is tearing it apart for the wrong reasons.
Fun fact the thuggee actually existed, they weren't as batshit insane as they where in this movie, but they did steal and kill and praise the god Kali, you can thank the british for the movie depiction.
Nostalgia Critic: This is like something a psycho would write.
Me: Stephen King?
Edger Allen Poe?
maybe not the Hindus, but the sacrificial scene is reminiscent of the Thuggee's, who killed thousands in rituals. for the most part they were stopped by the British Raj
16:00 Oddly enough, he shows the clip where it is stated as such. Guess it was some kind of comical exaggeration?
Nicktrains thompson probably, also I think he's considering that in general, this paints India in a very bad light. Imagine if they were all black....as an idea. But to me these are based off of old serials.
like, did you know the original Buck Rogers fought Chinese, not aliens, who take over the world.....for white women (i bought the first collection )
Nicktrains thompson They killed people by strangling them though, not rip out their still beating hearts. And from what I know about real life Thuggee, they didn't commit their murders in overtly elaborate rituals either.
They were basically more akin to a mob (in the mafia/crime families sense of the word) that specialised in robbing (yes, they stole the belongings of their victims too) and committing murder of travellers they met on the road, than a straightforward crazy religious sect. They mostly used their beliefs to justify their way of life, if you will: "We have to kill all these people to prevent Kali from ending the world, you guys!" :). Also women were supposedly a no go as sacrificial victims, due to Kali being a goddess (probably out of respect of her gender or something, I dunno:S).
Unless of course you were referring to the scene where Indy is being strangled in his bedroom which is indeed more reminiscent of the actual sacrificial practices of the Thuggees (like I described above) than the actual sacrificial scenes.
good point, though women were not exempt, as they were expected to commit suicide if their husband died before them, and were often forced. for a more in depth exploration of the subject i would suggest reading around the world in 80 days , which is surprisingly accurate
Nick, I made a similar comment. No the Thuggee didn't have ceremonies anything like the movie portrays , but they really were Hindus and they really did kidnap children and murder thousands. so yes the movie was perhaps a little culturally bigoted about India, but was not really a rip on Hinduism itself, unlike the innumerable stabs Doug (and especially Rob) make on Christianity in virtually every video. IE: the crazy extreme nuts following a particular religion, do not represent all adherents.
In some ways I can excuse the implausibility of the pilots ditching the plane and the rubber-raft escape. The Indy movies, after all, were inspired by the serials of the thirties and forties, which had the heroes in situations every bit as implausible.
It's about the effect on the characters, rather than the villains choosing the best plan. This situation would be in an adventure serial. You wake up and everyone's left the plane!

Nobody cared what my name was till i put on the creepy weird skull hat"
Fair enough
As both a fan of the James Bond series and the original Batman TV series, I've seen far more implausible escapes than that. It's all part of the fun.
This is definitely a guilty pleasure movie for me. I genuinely enjoy watching it.
I find okay honestly
11:58 And, if Thanos gets his hands on all of them, he can wipe out half of the universe with the snap of his fingers.
Balance.
Now that would be the best crossover in the history of crossovers
Well hate to break it to you Doug, but the mythbusters tested the raft thing and apparently is works just like they showed it
lol
Did they really work in real life?
Lies it's not true
sweetblackblood1 They’re not Mannequins; they’re dummies that have the same weight of an average human.
Am I missing something? They said Mythbusters proved Doug wrong, not that the Indiana Jones actors / stunt doubles were stupid enough to try it themselves.
Alternatively, if you're referring to some video of Mythbusters test dummies trying it... Why aren't you commenting on THAT video?
Short Round is the highlight of this movie
Remember, this was a retro adventure. You know the whole time that Indy will make it to Raiders. That makes it funny to me when he escapes one death trap after another in a bombastic way.
Dan Aykroyd was in 1941 which also was directed by Spielberg, Dan's character was severely missing from Kingdom of the Crystal Skull if you ask me.
The pilots were idiotic to jump out of the plane in the middle of the Himalayas instead of simply using knife attacks Indy brought Willie along since her shrill voice could make the fiercest tigers avoid the group along a three mile radius
Knife attacks?
@@Baptism4AnEnemy aka, slitting their throats while they are asleep
True enough, but it's a crazy 80's action movie and the Indiana Jones franchise was inspired by those serial cartoons of the 30's, so since that seems like a scenario out of one of those cartoons, it was enjoyable for me. To each their own.
So, I head to the comments expecting digital tones of hate for NC not liking temple of doom. But everyone's being...... reasonable. Internet, what happened? I'm not complaining, but what happened?
Angryenderman give it time
well, we've got orange troll from concentrate (it's extra pulpy!) in the whitehouse, so all the hatred is being concentrated there.
because we agree with him that it was bad
Nah...
People are too tired from fighting nazis. No reason for the autoimmune response of fighting over nothing.
It’s a great film because it knows what it is. It has a few minor flaws due to deleted scenes, but it’s supposed to be a true 30s serial. It’s a fun ride from beginning to end.
It's amazing how culturally insensitive this movie was, honestly. Yet this one somehow gets a pass, despite depicting heart sacrifices and eating raw animals? 😂 While over in Xena Warrior Princess, they got flak because the god Krishna helped a lesbian woman? 😂
Well temple of doom did get banned here in India for obvious reasons lmao
Actually the intention was that these people aren't actually Hindus, but a cult that in itself was insulting actual Hinduism. Somewhere between script and screen that intent got lost and people mistook the movie for trying to say actual Hinduism was like this.
I mean it’s not perfect but I still like it
@@northwindkey Its still horribly racist in its depictions of Indians.
I absolutely love Temple of Doom. I recognize that Raiders and Crusade are overall better movies but I personally love Temple more.
Agree, its still a very silly movie than the other two, but not 'bad'.
All three Indy movies (yes I said three, that one didn't count) are great adventure movies with amazing action scenes and charming characters. Temple of Doom might be a little "sillier" than Raiders and Crusade, but that's not at all a bad thing.
Last Crusade is nowhere near as good as the first two! It's good but Raiders and Temple are phenomenal! Up there with the original Star Wars trilogy, Zulu and Aliens!
Carlos Callejo I'm amazing at how nice the comments are knowing how anti opinion youtube is
I love temple as well. I looooove the opening sequence. Just a fun movie.
My kids love when I mimic Shortround 'You caaw him doctah jones!!'
I never realized Dan Akroyd had a cameo in this. Mind blown.
It was supposed to be John Cleese, but he was unavailable. So that's why Dan Akroyd plays it as John Cleese.
Mine too!!
In that same scene, both Spielberg and Lucas are seen as background extras.
Cool to know he was there
Fun fact: In the SNES game, neither Willie and Short Round appear in the whole Temple of Doom portions.
Even an inanimate object doesn't want those guys
I like all four Indy movies.
And I have one small question, if the fourth movie is so forgettable, why did people whine about it for so long?
Snoopy was a great example.
You know, it's weird how well that clip from Stephen King's IT fits with that scene.
I love the Temple of Doom. It's a constant reminder that family movies can go dark, and still be a fun adventure.
Angel- I Love Movies ...but it isn't fun
Jake tongue yes it is lol
Angel- I Love Movies But Raiders of the lost Art has that scene....
Indiana Jones Movies are Family movies now? ^^
Volox TV Kindaaaaa???
I’ve always loved the opening to Temple of Doom because it perfectly sets up the rest of the film. True to it’s word, “anything goes.”
Ehhhh, I disagree with almost all of your points. Most of the issues you have a problem with are the reasons I like it. I think scurrying for the antidote on the floor was cleaver and exciting. I think the opening dance number was fun and set the establishment of where the first set takes place. I think the death by hanging was creepy and brutal. I think they took him into the middle of nowhere and jumped because they were actually afraid of Indy and his potential to overpower them. I think Willy is funny tbh; it's entertaining to have some prissy girl juxtaposed to all the filth. When she's running around the jungle while short round and Indy play poker I laugh every time. I like short round and his wittiness. I like the dark theme showing me real danger rather than all the glossy shiny look of Kingdom and the Crystal Skull. I don't think this film as bad AT ALL. I think it's actually very entertaining and a genius masterpiece like the other two.
Honestly the only thing I can agree with you on is the raft falling out of the airplane and over the cliff being too much, BUT at the same time they used an actual practical effect so mostly I bought it while watching, unlike Kingdom where they have some silly CGI to try and convince me of what I'm seeing.
The novelization went some way toward explaining why the pilots didn't just shoot Indy: when they saw there was a woman and child with him who would also have to be silenced, they feared the karma it would bring on them, and decided to let fate take its course by abandoning the plane rather than killing them directly. It's the same sort of plausible-deniability-to-the-gods you see in Greek mythology--the story of Perseus, for example. King Acrisius knows the gods condemn killing one's own kin, so he won't kill his daughter and the grandson who's prophesied to kill him outright, but if he sets them adrift in a chest, then POSEIDON is technically to blame if they drown. Or Oedipus Rex: King Laius won't murder the baby who's destined to kill him and marry his widow, so he leaves him to die on a mountain. (And that's why this always seems to backfire: Oedipus kills his father and marries his mother without knowing who they are until it's too late, and Perseus accidentally kills his disguised grandfather with a misaimed discus without even knowing he was at that competition. And in this, well, Indy and company survive, though it didn't backfire on the pilots.)
Huzzah! A man of quality!
Yeah I know
For me the problems with this movie lie with its racist portrayal of Indians.
Temple of Doom is a great movie
It's better than Last Crusade, which is a sitcom version of Raiders.
Ryan Fanstone Agreed
Daniel Brown Well then I guess Raiders REALLY sucks, cuz this one is definitely better.
2 things:
1. I absolutely LOVE temple of doom
2. I forgot you even reviewed this
You like shit movies then? Alrighty then
+MileyCyrusPartyUSA Hey it's okay they like shit movies I like the Star Wars prequels 😂
It's alright to like shit movies just like it's alright to like shit songs like a certain someone in this thread. Yes Miley, i'm looking at you metaphorically.
WarriorsProductions™ The SW prequels are not bad movies, they just disappointed. But disappointing is often worse than just plain bad. If you don't expect great movies, the SW prequels are ok and have great moments.
Deep breath, Cyrus
Someone has to make a nostalgia critic on this video itself
I felt like critic is gonna make a review on raiders of the last arc before the new movie comes out
I don't understand why people would dislike this movie or Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. 7:30, the plane ran out of fuel.
Before I started watching the video, I saw the title and thought...
"...this movie was _bad?_"
DrewViss X and what do you think now?
Guess I've been made more aware of the flaws of the movie, and I can agree with them. But it doesn't really tamper with my opinion on the movie in general
Exactly
I like Temple of Doom and Crystal Skull. I can't help it, they're guilty pleasures for me.
Same
Where there’s a whip
There’s a way
So, are you ever going to review Kingdom of the Crystal Skull?
The temple of doom is one of my favourites in the whole franchise. It's silly yes, but is so enjoyable to watch because of the set pieces and action. You can't hate this movie too much because it's awesome cheese!
19:09
... It's creepy, weird, skull-hat guy, like all of the other Indiana Jones villains:
Spanish guys who betray Indy for the Idol
Black trench coat, glasses wearing nazi guy
Butch nazi who gets chopped up by an airplane
Tan-shirt wearing nazi guy
American guy who is secretly working for the nazis
Tank nazi
Russian guy who gets eaten by siafu ants
Cate Blanchett
and ALL of the other miscellaneous characters inbetween action sequences.
Belloq, Elsa, and Mac are the only ones that come to mind easily. It's not fair to rip on a particular movie for not clarifying a villain's name when all of the other films MOSTLY do the same.
Tim the Animator black trench coat nazi’s name is Arnold Toht and he’s entertaining as heck in my opinion
Yeah, but Tim's point is his name is never spoken in the film. Unlike Weird Creepy Skull Hat Guy, whose name, Mola Ram, IS actually spoken twice.
Colonel Dietrich and Dovochenko werent that bad.
His name is mola ram
Colonel Vogel was awesome.
Leave short round alone he was amazing.
And he a oscar winner.
Well spoken there ^^
Jokes on the critic… short round actually won an Oscar!
Raiders of the Lost Ark - classic
Temple of Doom - most watched
Last Crusade - the best
let them fight
Nicholas Borg It's scary how accurate this is
Nicholas Borg Crystal skull- abomination
Raiders - the "adventure" film.
Temple - the "hero" film.
Crusade - the "comedy" film.
Crystal Skull - the "what am I watching?" film.
I'm not gonna argue.
*opens mouth to rebuttal* ..........actually, yeah....yeah thats about right.
He was called Mola Ram! How can you forget that???
I always thought it was Woolo Ram.
We all call him creepy skull hat guy. I heard its his madan name.
+Feuersteinfilms I always thought it was "Molah" instead of Mola. :P
@@wall4818
Really...woolo ram
@@nateds7326 Madan name? What's that?
The Donkey Kong Country Mine Cart level music!!!
8:26 BUT THAT'S NOT HOW PHYSICS WORKS!
For the record, what's more ridiculous: Nuking a fridge or....jumping a large break in the tracks, outrunning a tunnel full of rushing water, surviving being put that close to molten lava, having your heart torn out and still being alive....do I need to go on?
These movies are not meant to be taken too seriously, so jumping all over one scene in Crystal Skull is bullshit. I think the problem is that people today have less of a sense of humor and adventure.
Samurai Momo that's why I love all the Indiana Jones movies, they are so much fun
Samurai Momo
The logic of people who love TOD and hate KOTCS:
Fighting the nazis to find an ancient Christian artifact that’s full of ghosts that melt people if they look at it in the middle of an ancient Egyptian tomb with a different Egyptian artifact with instructions to respect a Hebrew god: Totally reasonable and logical!
Fighting the Soviets to find an alien species worshipped by South Americans: Jumping the shark!
Jumping out of a plane into river rapids in a raft with three people and surviving without a scratch: Seems reasonable.
Getting blasted away in a refrigerator built in a way that resists explosions and emerging damaged: completely illogical!
I could go on.
Fred Johnston for starters they weren't aliens they where interdimensional beings ( they lived in the space between spaces) secondly our history is full of the possibility of aliens ( just watch Ancient Aliens on the History Channel) also what they were looking for is part of History which is El Dorado or the city of gold. The differences instead of the Treasure being gold it was knowledge. Plus during Stalin's time the Soviets were really working on Psychic Warfare. Plus there have been a few scenes from the first three movies and see more impossible than the refrigerator scene from the fourth one
like Sky-diving with a rescue raft and living..
I agree
24:47 "He said it was all mumbo-jumbo earlier in the film, so why is he suddenly so invested?" It's called character development
Jack Character development would involve changing his character and THEN his beliefs. Indy's personaliry doesn't change at all here, he just suddenly believes - tbh, he probably shouldn't have been so skeptical considering the last movie
+ Sterling Muse. I wouldn't attack Indy's skepticism in the beginning of Temple of Doom considering it chronologically took place BEFORE Raiders of the Lost Ark. As for the whole believing in mumbo jumbo, that was more of the fact he had actually seen the bizarre cult stuff and was ready to accept the supernatural, so it wasn't unsurprisingly sudden.
Marten Slager Marten Slager You know, I think I've forgotten that Temple of Doom happens before Raiders more often than I care to admit XD Still, it is a bit odd that Indy cares enough to call Mola Ram a betrayer with so much emotion. Why does he care so much all of a sudden? This isn't well explained in the movie, and it still isn't character development. It's like a bona fide immortal spoke with his voice or something, but that isn't even hinted at and Indy doesn't act freaked out about it afterward.
Fair enough. I suppose I just try to ignore flaws in films more than I care to admit. Especially when it comes to Star Wars and Indiana Jones, because these were what I grew up with.
Marten Slager I'll admit, I'd be far less critical of Last Crusade. I've just never enjoyed Temple of Doom as much as the other movies, so I'm more critical of it than the others.
These willy jokes are some of the funnies i have heard!
I honestly can't believe Nostalgia Critic thinks Shorty is annoying in this! I've always thought he was such a cute kid, with an adorable voice! So what if he screws up sometimes, he's a FREAKING CHILD! And he is no where near as annoying as Willie in this!
You NEED to do a Real Thoughts on this one!
That would constitute more Real Thoughts, and prerqeuisite reviews, on the other movies and maybe the TV series.
With any luck, Doug will make next January all about Indy...
He REALLY should
I second that!!
penises are REALLY a man thing
They just did a Sibling Rivalry on it.
I love Temple of Doom, especially Short Round. Why does everyone hate em so? Sure, the film is goofier and has more plot holes than a typical IJ film, but it's kinda fun watching. Short Round is adorable and pretty heroic and funny at times. I can see why people despise Willie, but it's honestly funny to see her getting thrown around this way and that. All im saying is that this movie gets a worse wrap than it deserves.
Blonde TapperWare I prefer it over crystal skull, raiders, and last crusade. It’s my favorite, but raiders will have to be my second favorite.
because ppl let this one pass but not the 4th one. because everything ppl hate the 4th for is in the second film. it's literally protected by nostalgia. back on the day, temple of doom lile the franchise. most ppl saw last crusade as a comeback.
I love little kids, but even I have to admit that Doug is right about Short Round (which is a dumb name anyway). And I haven't even seen the movie! And I probably never will!
Short round is annoying, he always screams
I gotta agree, it is so satisfying to see Willie tossed around.
How exactly is a Chinese kid Playing a Chinese kid "Racist"
People throw around that word so much that it means absolutely Nothing.
Well actors of color can play characters that are stereotypes. I don't think it was intended to be racist but it's still eyebrow raising.
I'm not joking.
