- Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984)
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom is a 1984 American action-adventure film directed by Steven Spielberg from a script by Willard Huyck and Gloria Katz, based on a story by George Lucas. It is the second installment in the Indiana Jones film series, and a prequel to Raiders of the Lost Ark. The film features Harrison Ford who reprises his role as the title character. Kate Capshaw, Amrish Puri, Roshan Seth, Philip Stone and Ke Huy Quan, in his film debut, star in supporting roles. In the film, after arriving in British India, Indiana Jones is asked by desperate villagers to find a mystical stone and rescue their children from a Thuggee cult practicing child slavery, black magic, and ritual human sacrifice in honor of the goddess Kali.
We thought it would be fun for Coby to watch Indiana Jones in chronological order, which is basically just reversing Temple of Doom with Raiders of the Lost Ark but ultimately the films were made so close together it's hard to tell the difference in Harrison Ford's age. We can imagine Short Round is in boarding school getting an education so he can show up later in the Short Round Disney+ series.

#IndianaJones #Reaction #TempleofDoom
End Music by: Diego A. R. Delfino - ภาพยนตร์และแอนิเมชัน
There is a call-back joke in Temple of Doom that doesn't really land without seeing Raiders of the Lost Ark first, but it's still a fine place to start the franchise. It's my favorite film in the franchise.
Willie's slap having the punch sound effect ALWAYS makes me laugh.
I was at the World Science Convention when Frank Marshall (the producer) announced they were making a 3rd Indiana Jones movie. Someone in the audience asked if he'd have to sit through the movie with another whining woman, to which Marshall replied, "It depends who you go with."
I think this has the best first 20 minutes of any movie ever.
THANK YOU! Thank you for loving Willie as much as I do. She's comedic relief. She's a fish out of water... and you got that! Most people hate the screaming. I love it as it's her character's honest reaction to being forced on an Indiana Jones adventure, and I love Indy's reaction to it. Willie's a lounge singer, not Lara Croft.
I wholeheartedly agree with you. Willie Scott is a great character. 🤠
Wow! I've never seen anyone say they like Willie! I was honestly starting to think I was the only one. Every reactor on TH-cam hates her with a passion, but I think she's hilarious! We need to start a Willie Scott fan club lol.
8:05 Fun Fact: The sound effects of the engines dying are the same ones they used for the Millennium Falcon stalling in "The Empire Strikes Back".
9:23 Fun Fact: This guy was played by D. R. Nanayakkara, a Sri Lankan actor who did not speak any English at the time of filming his scenes. Director, Steven Spielberg, would feed Nanayakkara his lines to repeat or mime them from behind the camera.
Shorty is wearing a New York Giants' hat in this movie. They became the San Francisco Giants in the 50s. Until recently I thought it was an older version of a Yankees' hat too. 🙂
I knew someone would have picked up on Short Round's Giants hat. 😄 The style of NY on his hat is used by the New York Mets now. ⚾️
The mine cart chase was originally slated for Raiders of the Lost Ark, but it was scrapped for a myriad of reasons. When Spielberg needed a climax for Temple of Doom, he had the time & resources to utilize it.
A lot of Indy enthusiasts put ToD near the bottom of the pack, but I absolutely LOVE it for its opening, the uniqueness of the tone, and the finale when the children are reunited with their parents in the village. That final scene is almost always tear-inducing for me :-)
As a person born in '86 I appreciate the Aqua - Doctor Jones reference and yes it was about Indiana Jones.
Temple of Doom is my favorite Indy movie. Saw this in theaters in 1984 at 6 years old and loved it. In the 2-3 years that followed I watched this movie at least 60 times. It's the funniest movie in the trilogy and Short Round is the best side kick.
I love the matte paintings from this era of film. They have so much more character and artistry than CGI backgrounds IMO.
40:30
The Maharajah brought the army.
This movie is my favorite prequel, great way to get them out of the typical form. They filmed in Sri Lanka, because India did not accept hosting a film depicting their culture eating snakes, bugs, ect.. Also they actually dropped that massive bridge in Sri Lanka, and another smaller set in London. Filmography is kick ass.
9:32 The filmmakers were denied permission to film in North India and Amer Fort, due to the government finding the script offensive. As a result, location work went to Kandy, Sri Lanka, with matte paintings and scale models applied for the village, temple, and Pankot Palace.
Great reaction ! Loved it that you starts with temple of doom (it's still my ultimate favorite adventure movie of all time), it's another experience that only few reactors on youtube have done. The only issue is that you could find is the others are not as action-packed, stressful and dark as this one (wich is still considered to be the most intense of them all). And perhaps also it will be your favorite (it's my personal favorite by the way) and the others couldn't top it but maybe not.
Because the 3 indy movies are all great in their own way, it's crazy, they have each their own style.
And the most crazy thing is when you ask people and fans of indy, they can have each of them as their favorite like a 33% for raiders, 33% for temple, etc ... Something really rare with the fandom of a movie franchise. When everybody is always talking about perfect trilogy, they're always talk about the lord of the rings, star wars, back to the future, die hard but I "protest" to say indiana jones is one of them (the first 3 movies are all amazing).
Since you seem to be familiar with star wars, you must know that Georges Lucas wanted for the sequel to the first indy : the same treatment he did with empire strikes back meaning a darker movie than the first one with higher stakes.
You can see the pattern here :
-a new hope (1977) - raiders of the lost ark are the first fun adventure into this universe
-empires strikes back (1980) - temple of doom (1984) have higher stakes with darker elements
-return of the jedi (1983) - last crusade (1989) are less darker than the previous one for an epic conclusion.
And for both trilogy, my least to most favorite goes with the same order meaning it goes like this :
-return of the jedi and last crusade (8/10)
-a new hope and raiders of the lost ark (9/10)
-empire strikes back and temple of doom (10/10)
There is also a little fun fan theory where you can imagine that the whole indiana jones life is actually a fever dream that Han Solo has when he was frozen into the carbonite :)
And it doesn't really matter which indy you watch first since they're all stand-alones movies with differents sidekicks and plots just like james bond. Which is funny that you mentioned since for the anectode : Spielberg wanted to direct a james bond movie but he couldn't (producers issues I guess) so he decided to create his own james bond but way better ;)
More iconic, more handsome, more badass, better films and became even more memorable than him througout the years with only 3 movies. It's like james bond but if he was an treasure hunter.
And actually, it's a really good thing that you started with temple of doom especially for indy's character developments : Maybe you didn't notice but at the starts of the movie he only steals artifacts for "fortune and glory" and deliberatly threathened a girl in hostage just for his own interests and being a novice by drinking the poison. (that's also why audiences was kind of confused when they saw temple of doom, they didn't know it was a prequel, so it was weird to see an naif/inexperienced indy drinking a random drink).
And furthermore, at first (maybe you didnt' catch that but) he didn't go save the slave children at pankot or retrieve the rocks to brem them back, he just wanted them for himself, his own "fortune and glory" but when he heard the children's scream and then the whole followed adventure you witnessed ... Changed him a bit, grown him.
That's an important detail to remember for the following entries (especially the third one "last crusade" ^^). The only detail that could bug you in raiders is indy doesn't believe in magic (even after that whole supernatural adventure I witnessed) so it's better to assume that he was probably amnesics at some point (the only explanation XD)
Also, you souldn't be nervous about the old effects, I mean come on, it's spielberg and georges lucas together (they can litterally create magic). And like the first trilogy of star wars, some effects still hold up very well even after 40 years and unfortunetly some a little less :(
So sorry for my bad english and for this too long comment XD
I'm really looking forward the next indy movies reaction. Do you think you could upload once a week maybe ? :)
Great insights! Coby's reaction to Raiders will be next week, followed by The Last Crusade!
@@popcornroulettereactions Popcorn, did you look when Willie fainted when she looked at the monkey brain?
Will always be my favorite indy. Because he saves the kids. It's a great send off with the kids celebrating at the end
Raiders should have been first but honestly they're interchangeable
This one takes place first so it’s ok
You lose the reference when Willie grabs the snake thinking it was the elephant's trunk as well as when Indy reaches for his gun when facing off with sword wielders and it isn't there, but otherwise, it's okay to see this one first
They're not interchangeable at all, they're very much two different films that's why the imagery was lost on her cos she started with this first and thought she was watching a Bond film, then when she watched Raiders she'd already seen the character so the opening of that had less impact. Watching things chronologically doesn't necessarily work. Lucas only set this a year earlier cos he wanted to avoid Indiana running into the ascension of Hitler in the late 30s but he made a huge mistake doing so cos as Coby later sees Indy goes from having a massive supernatural experience in this film to then dismissing the ark as superstitious nonsense in the other film which makes no sense. So watching them chronologically doesn't work at all.
@@Hoeech you lose alot more than just specific film references, the first scene of the first film is designed to introduce you to the image of Indiana with the hat and whip, it doesn't work if you start with this one cos this one is introducing Indy as a James Bond style character which just confused Coby so no you can't just start with this one it doesn't work.
14:14 "She does _not_ want to part with the sparkly dress." Remember that this trip was unplanned for her, so the red-and-gold sequined dress is the only thing she has that's hers! Up until their arrival at the Pankot Palace, the outfit she's been wearing has been borrowed: the white coat, dark pants, and shirt that Indy wore to the club.
I Know he's a Villain But That Balaram SCENE IS JUST SO METAL!........(I may have misspelled his name).......
The scene where he screams and runs is the same as in "Star Wars: A New Hope".
That was Stormtroopers chasing him.
When I was a kid, I always made fun of Willy. Today though, she is the one movie character I can relate to the most. I would be constantly screaming if I was in the same kind of situation as that poor woman🤣
No, burning him with fire worked. Not the words. And he was taking all 3 the first time as well.
This is one of the greatest reactions ever!! I love your smile and the way you react!! And the smile always!!

"i couldve been ur greatest adventure"16:57 17:19 18:00
The food was meant as a clue that something wasn't right about the palace. A lot of people misinterpreted it to being a depiction of Indian stereotypes.
How WONDERFUL to actually, finally see someone watch Temple of Doom, without it being bloody compared to Raiders at every turn. So refreshing! Temple is it's own thing,has it's own vibe and yes, you will see that the female leads are very different in each film - especially Marion from Raiders who is constantly pitted against Willie...unfairly so! Temple of Doom is my favourite one, hands down, and it is also the very first Indiana Jones film I ever saw - I had no point of reference and just thoroughly love every wild moment!
It's interesting you're watching these in chronological order. I will say that in doing so you'll miss a couple things: (a) The opening musical number is really a subversion of expectations, after already establishing in "Raiders" that Indy is a character that's known for gritty adventure. (b) The part towards the end of "Doom" when Indy goes to grab his gun and it's not there is a callback to a popular scene in "Raiders."
You're right that it is odd that Short Round isn't with Indy later on. (Of course "Raiders" which came out before Doom, confusingly takes place a year after "Doom.") Considering they were basically father and son, and Short Round was one of the most well-liked element of "Doom," we can only hope that he's at least alive and doing well, and that Indy maintained the relationship, even if he wasn't raising him anymore.
Kate Capshaw actually had a pretty good career going in the 80s ("Space Camp," "Dreamscape"), but I'm convinced that starring in Doom derailed her trajectory. I think she got a negative response from playing such a histrionic character. (If you watch her other movies, you realize that this wasn't the norm for her.) Plus, when you eventually get married to the most successful director in Hollywood and then go on to raise a huge family, then obviously your acting career is going to take a backseat.
Great feedback!
Capshaw couldn't have had a "pretty good career going" until Doom "derailed" it because Doom was only her second film, released a couple years after her teenaged debut in A Little Sex (which has been panned by the Rotten Tomatoes audience).
wow she was born in 84 wouldn't have guessed that
Kate Capshaw was also in "Space Camp".
And just think, I was the ripe old sge of 7 when I saw this back in the mid 80s. Fun in one way, disturbing in another.😳
8:42 it's actually "suspension of disbelief" which is funny cos Popcorn in Bed uses it wrong in the exact same way (repeatedly, despite people trying to correct her)
By the end of this viewing, you spoke about the "ball" chasing Indy which you didn't get to see. It's literally in the "Raiders" poster on your right, directly behind Indy
I've been an indiana jones fan my entire life. you are the only reactor who knew beforehand that Temple came before and watched it first as their first experience. I'm very intrigued to see your reactions to the other three.
other Indy fans here, please let's refrain from KOTC talk today. positive vibes 😊
9:19 Although this wasn't filmed in India, parts _were_ filmed in Sri Lanka -- and both places do actually have palm trees!
It was actually shot in Sri Lanka, just outside of India.
When he screamed and ran, it’s a reference to, Star Wars A New Hope, when he ran into the storm troopers. When you mentioned the cavalry, and where did they come from, there are some deleted scenes from this movie, which would explain why they showed up, and another including why short round used fire to snap Indy out of the spell. I can’t imagine why they were taken out, because it fills in the gaps of the story that are unanswered.
6:10 Great eye, Coby. I have watch this movie about 8 or 9 times with other reactors and you are 1 of only 2 people that noticed "Club Obi-Wan"
First time watcher here. So glad you decided to watch these in chronological order.
Just something different
Thanks for appreciating the approach!
7:54 Well, the lyrics for Aqua's "Doctor don't have to be about Indy, but the music video includes a jungle safari, snake, spider, tribesmen, and voodoo dolls -- so I'd say it's pretty likely!
* "Doctor Jones"
You know I thought it was kind of weird to watch this chronologically, especially since the movies aren't really connected. But now I'm thinking it was probably a good idea because you actually enjoyed Willie, where as most reactors seem to hate her. Idk if that's just your personality or because you don't have Karen Allen to compare her against in the first film. But either way it was a nice change to see someone actually appreciate Willie for once. I think the dynamic between her and Indy is great fun. :D
This guy gets it
Best reaction I've seen yet. Great! I saw this one before the other ones and I do like this one the best. I saw this one in the movie theater. ❤
Your James Bond reference was appropriate because Spielberg and Lucas imagined that Indiana Jones was going to be like James Bond.
I agree with your movie sequence even though The Last Crusade fouls up your plans--and this discounts Young Indiana Jones Chronicles.
Thanks for sharing your viewpoint--it's fun to get a second opinion.
Temple of Doom is my favorite.
That bridge sequence is so iconic
Coby, I loved that you loved the movie, it was easy to tell because you were literally on the edge of your seat half the time!😆I've just enjoyed this movie more and more over the years. It was a little controversial at the time because of the intensity, Spielberg even said there were a few scenes that were too intense for kids. I will say I'm just not a fan of watching things in chronological order vs. release order. For instance, you missed the gag at the campfire about the snake, which I'm sure you got when you watched "Raiders". Also, you missed seeing Indy for the first time in his introductory scene where he steps out of the shadows like the rest of us did. But I'm really looking forward to seeing your "Raiders" reaction and how you react to it after seeing this one first.
Btw, the kids were looking for the missing stones, but also were mining for precious gems to fund the Thuggi cause.( FYI the Thuggis were a real and murderous cult in India in the 1800s that the British eventually put down by force.) And I'd say the authorities were alerted when the kids were freed and ran out of the palace The British commander was already on-site or nearby from making his inspection of the palace.
(And, a side note, I had guessed 24, 25 tops,. Maybe a young looking 30 based on a reference. Never '84! 🤩)
Definitely would’ve recommended Raiders first. It’s how most of us were probably introduced to Indy. And it set the bar for adventure films. AND the first female lead character was a strong type and I love how the first Indy film comes out swinging that way! 💪
And that first Indy reveal in Raiders after the first whip crack…chef’s kiss introduction to an iconic character 🤌
That being said, welcome to the club! One of the best characters and series! ❤️
Over the years I’ve introduced people to Indy via Raiders and Doom sometimes doing Raiders first and sometimes doing Doom first and I’ve always found people enjoy Doom way more if they watch it first and Raiders and Crusade work better back to back because they share similar themes. That’s the main reason I had Coby watch in this order. Lots of time growing up in the 80s people who missed Raiders in theaters would often catch Doom as their introduction to the series - happened to my friend who it took him years to see Raiders after first watching Doom on HBO. I think he rented it from blockbuster in 87 or 88 finally before the new one came out. Haha
@@popcornroulettereactions Interesting concept! I guess it’s not quite as egregious as watching the Star Wars prequels before the OG trilogy. The big reveals that most of us got to experience would definitely be revealed. And I do see some merit from doing it in story order for some. But there’s some things done in Raiders in terms of introducing the character that help to know when viewing Temple for the first time. Diff’rent strokes 🤙
Coby: I watch a LOT of reaction channels, and you're definitely one of the best! Keep up the beautiful work letting us re-watch our favorite films as if it's our very first time, yet again, WITH you! :)
Shorty is the real hero here. We, the fans, wanted more Shorty, but those who count, didn't. Shorty's next big adventure was the GOONIES. Your apprehensive anticipation was wonderful. There was a certain sparkle in this reaction that we don't see for this offering. I see your like for this movie directly relates to your Indy exposure. Most of us don't care for Willie. Not even a smidgen. Timey wimey, she is Indy's first on-screen girl, and we all saw her as a frufru replacement for Marion. Indy, even in his YOUNG INDY tv thing, was constantly changing his ladies. Anyway, I'm glad you got started. I'm glad you're invested in the series. I know you'll love the ride.
I'm glad that you liked this movie, so much. Because many say that it's the weakest one. Of the trilogy.
So, I hope the upcoming two films might be fun to you, as well.
Crystal Skull does not count 😉
I honestly don't mind "Crystal Skull." As with the Star Wars prequels, I feel the issue was mostly just in its execution. And I'm sure it'll still look like a masterpiece compared to "Dial of Destiny."
About 15 years ago, the Mythbusters actually tested if the "life raft parachute" stunt was in any way a plausible means of escaping a crashing plane. As it turns out ..... no. No it is not. If you try this, you will die
Great reaction video; I love this young lady's smile. Speaking of smiles, Harrison Ford has a way of making people laugh.
I definitely think there's something to watching the films in chronological order (vs. release). Raiders will definitely still feel like the first one released.
Other thing I remember Kate Capshaw most from was SpaceCamp.
I personally think they work best chronologically because you start off with more of a James Bondsian Indiana Jones and then Raiders and Last Crusade sort of tell the one two punch of Indy's conflicts with Nazis around two Christian stories. Plus from a romantic standpoint, you kind of know that Indy and Willie aren't going to last so it's not crazy that a year later he'd hook up again with Marion for a short time before being single again and seduced by a Nazi. Also puts Raiders and Kingdom of the Crystal Skull one movie closer together for that plot point.
Also, SpaceCamp was great - our first real introduction to Joaquin Phoenix.
She was in Dreamscape, too, with Dennis Quaid and the guy who Arnold dropped in Commando.
What you should really do, for context, is watch some of the old Republic and Universal serials. This is where Lucas got the inspiration for both Indiana Jones and Star Wars. It would seem that Indy is mostly based on the Republic serials (see "Zorro's Black Whip" for simpler versions of many of the scenes) and Star Wars is more Universal (including the scrolling text).
You do realize Indy speaks, reads & writes 27 languages and knows A LOT of facts.
I always like to think that Shortround came back to America with Indy and is in boarding school for the next couple films.
BTW, Coby, has anyone ever told you that you look a lot like Ashley Greene?
18:55 Just a little movie mistake. The match Indy is holding is supposed to be the only source of light in that tunnel, and the match is in-between the wall and his hand....What's casting the shadow of his hand? LOL
There are around 7-8 types of Palm Trees native to India... I don't know if the ones in the background are any of those types though.
Shot in Sri Lanka. India had issues with the script.
This review was so much fun. I love your personality. Keep up the great work. Looking forward to the next film.
Raiders of the Lost Ark reaction coming next week!
@@popcornroulettereactions Sweeeet! Lol
Although he’s over 80, I can’t wait to see Harrison don the hat and whip one more time.
It's not the years, it's the mileage
Loved your reaction to this classic. It's probably my second favorite after Raiders, however I'm debating between it and the Last Crusade. At 9:25 in regards to your comment on where it was filmed, from what I've heard it was filmed in Sri Lanka. My idea is that the Indian government at the time didn't approve of the film being shot on the mainland due to it's portrayal of the country and elements of the hindu faith, such being how the goddess "Kali" is portrayed. The actor who actually plays the head of the village was a Sri Lankan actor who didn't speak any English, and simply repeated what he heard Spielberg tell him to say with a headpiece in his ear.
In the novels, you find out that Indy eventually leaves Short Round at an orphanage, as he doesn't think he'd be a good father to Shorty.
What? He went back with him to the US and was eventually put in a boarding school. They continued their adventures.
Definitely watch the movie The Goonies(1985) if you haven’t seen it.
The sacred stone lingam is the primary male organ. Compared to the yoni, female form.
Pat roach is the big guy with turban who got crushed under the wheel 🤣🤣 he was born and lived not far from me
The fact is that temple of doom is actually a prequel to raiders of the lost ark.
It was the fire that snapped them out of it.
* I like that. "Indiana Jones it!" I'm gonna have to remember that for bedroom nocturnal activities. Maybe even play some Indiana Jones music, who knows. Oh, by the way, do you remember those 2 other adventures that Chatter Lal mentioned at "dinner"? If you're interested, the one that he said took place in Madagascar was an adventure called *Indiana* *Jones* *and* *the* *Jewel* *of* *Heaven* which mostly takes place in *Madagascar* *1931* It was actually the Sultan of Zanzibar: "Sultan Khalifa bin Harub". He hired Indy to find the "Jewel of Heaven" sapphire, but double crossed Indy when he found it, and tried to have Indy killed.
* Indy escaped with Jock Lindsey in his plane, both to within an inch of their lives, but not before the Sultan screamed at him: *"I* *WILL* *CUT* *YOUR* *BALLS* *OFF* *IF* *YOU* *EVER* *RETURN* *TO* *MY* *ISLAND!!!"* and his voice echoed through the jungle, kind of like Belloq's did. Unfortunately, they don't have a full story for this one yet but, the other adventure that Chatter Lal mentions is called *Indiana* *Jones* *and* *the* *Crystal* *Skull* *of* *Cozan* which takes place in *Honduras* *1933* where Indy finds and enters *The* *Temple* *of* *the* *Serpent* in search of "The Crystal Skull of Cozan". If you'd like to read about it, most of the story is the prologue of that Indiana Jones novel called *Indiana* *Jones* *and* *the* *Philosopher's* *Stone*
* Oh, one thing I forgot to mention. The adventure of Indy's called *Indiana* *Jones* *and* *the* *Temple* *of* *the* *Forbidden* *Eye* takes place immediately after *Indiana* *Jones* *and* *the* *Temple* *of* *Doom* and quite literally *IS* the ride that you said you went on at Disneyland in Anaheim, CA. The ride consists of you being in a military troop transport vehicle(which is actually an enhanced motion vehicle or EMV). They have the *Indiana* *Jones* *Epic* *Stunt* *Spectacular!* amusement show in Disney's Hollywood Studios at Disney World in Bay Lake, FL.
I agree. Raiders should’ve been first. It’s not that it’s a bad choice for the first film, (TOD is actually my personal favorite )but there are a couple underlying jokes that you won’t get unless you saw Raiders first.
The old classics are MUCH better than most of today's crap.
Just started watching your reactions! This movie is the reason we have PG-13 movies....it didnt exist yet and this movie made it happen!
Temple of Doom is known as the dark Indiana Jones film. This film is one of the movies that forced the MPAA to create the PG-13 rating. Last Crusade ended up being a lot lighter as a result.
"I love that she hated him the whole movie so far, and . . . then all it took was an apple." So _that's_ what I've been doing wrong! Note to self: next trip to the grocery store, buy apples. 🍏🤣🍎
I've been hoping for ages that some reactor would actually be willing to watch these movies in chronological order. THANK YOU for finally being the one to do so. 😎
We are glad you were able to appreciate our experiment!
@@popcornroulettereactions Generally, I believe in watching any movie series in chronological order* (if you're first coming to them long after their initial theatrical runs, anyway) since often times I feel certain aspects in prequel movies tend to get undermined if you've already seen the later-set outings. While it's not as big of a deal with this series since all the movies are largely self-contained, release order _does_ interfere with Indy's overall character arc from beginning to end. But, again, thanks for doing this.
*Star Wars is the exception; I prefer to have people strategically alternate between both trilogies the first time around (to both preserve the big OT revelations _and_ to avoid spoiling the events of the PT), and _then_ watch them chronologically in all subsequent viewings in order to get the full flow of the saga.
“Then the whole mission is pointless”
Welcome to the first and third movies…
Dig your Blow Out poster behind you :)
36:36 A kid can't die because it's an 80's film? Someone has never seen "Jaws."
Granted, "Jaws" was a '70s film...
She missed the Ghostbuster cameo easter egg. LOL
For a second I wasn't sure what you were talking about, but then I remembered. Then again, when I first saw this at 10 in '86 on HBO, I didn't catch it either.
This really isnt a "Chronological order" dependent series. Raiders should definitley have been your first warch... especially since... you know.. that poster. 😂 it also happens to be, IMO, hands down the best one 🤘
I hear ya but I actually really love rewatching with Temple of Doom first
my favorite in the series
Glad you didn’t hate the character Willie. Most reactors, after seeing Indy and Marion’s relationship from raiders, vehemently dislike Willie. I won’t deny that she is pretty annoying but that was how the character was written. She was meant to be the helpless, annoying, damsel in distress. Which is exactly how a bunch of men writers in the early 1980s would portray the type.
I think that's another benefit of watching Temple of Doom before Raiders because Willie is sort of a letdown after Marion
Willie is definitely closer to Indy's type in this movie, since here he's more jaded and self-interested, thus being more concerned with making money off of artifacts than preserving them (he seems to have his turning point at the end when he tells the head villager that he now realizes the power of such things). So a shallow, pampered showbiz type would seem right up his alley.
It was my……misunderstanding.
Great reaction.
I don't know if you did watch them already, but I will be part of the majority and state you can definitely skip Crystal Skull and Dial of Destiny. Stick with the original Trilogy and you will be fine.
You should have watched in release order.
There's a moment in this one that would be hilarious if you did.
did you recognise one of the Ghostbusters at the beginning of this film? Just a small cameo role.
This movie is why we have a PG-13 rating. The sacrifice part scared a lot of kids and parents complain so they added the extra rating
You re fun to watch movies with :)...ever see Romancing the Stone?
The diner scene in this film is widely considered the most culturally insensitive part of the film. Indian food is nothing like that. 😂 The scene was designed specifically to gross out the kids in the audience.
"i'm going to marry the director instead" 😄... i used to prefer this out of all the Indy movies, maybe this changed a bit, but the opening is still cool
I love your insight you are very funny
43:12 You're confusing Indiana Jones with Angelina Jolie.
You really should've watched Raiders first, too late now, Lucas did intend Indiana Jones to be "better than Bond" hence the homage to Bond in this second film opening but that's why you don't get the desert beginning cos that's what Raiders gives you, the intro to the world of the character. This wasn't shot in India it was shot in Sri Lanka cos India felt Speilberg was being racist with the depictions of their culture so banned them from filming there (Indians dont eat any of that stuff, that was more a depiction of the cultists, the Thugee cult was a real Indian cult which is who these bad guys are sposed to be) And yes the Aqua Doctor Jones song is pretty much parodying this character.
Voodoo is native to Haiti.
Not India.
Her shirt just says Beat not the Beatles, so what is it?
