[@andrewlowden322]

Agreed. the other 2 felt too linear with long chase sequences. The dialogue and lines in this one are fantastic! The 3rd one is awful bc Harrison has to split time with Sean so our attention and focus is divided. Also Sean as dad depantses Indy/Harrison-our hero is not taken seriously. In TOD he is the hero; we get to coast along enjoying HF at his finest. I legitimately can watch this movie start to finish and watch it start all over again. Its my top go-to when I am working on things and need something in the background. I know every line and love knowing they're coming! ("the trouble with her....is the noise" "maybe, he like older women??!"

I'm with Minty. Temple of Doom has been my favorite since I was a kid. It's action packed and is truly underrated. It's also the only Indiana Jones film where Indi's actions actually mattered. In Raiders, Last Crusade, and Crystal Skull the end would have been the same even without Jones. In Temple of Doom he recovers the stones and frees the children.

[@nosuchthing8]

Wait, please be patient? How did Indiana jones not matter in the first movie? If he had never appeared the nazis would have found some way to use the ark.

@@nosuchthing8 the ark would have still killed them. Indiana's actions do not change that.

[@SmallSpoonBrigade]

@@nosuchthing8 It was explained in an episode of The Big Bang Theory. The same applies to both Last Crusade and Kingdom where the bad guys get the artifact he's trying to protect, use it in such an incompetent way as to destroy themselves, and it then winds up being collected after the fact with Indy basically doing nothing that changed the trajectory at any point. This isn't entirely unreasonable as the Ark, Grail and Skull were all just for the purpose of giving purpose to the action, but it's a bit extreme. Sort of like how James Bond doesn't get a character arc in really any of the movies he's in. Once you realize that, it can screw with the perception of the film, but is the way it is for a reason.

[@nosuchthing8]

@@SmallSpoonBrigade I dont agree, the nazis would have found some underhanded way to use the power of the ark.

[@damc8415]

@@SmallSpoonBrigade Big Bang Theory missed the point: The impotence of Indy's actions in "Raiders" underscores the fact that God has ultimate authority over human affairs. Indy's friend Marcus Brody alluded to such supernatural concerns early in the film, when Indy laughed them off. But when Indy tells Marion to close her eyes when Nazis open the Ark, Indy clearly believes the Biblical warning that no human can survive directly seeing God's face (symbolized by the Ten Commandments in the Ark) unless God chose to extend grace to them. The Bible, Exodus 33:17-23; Exodus 25:22; Leviticus 16:2; see Hebrews 9.

Fun fact: The large Thugee that ends up in the stone crusher was played by the late great Pat Roach (Who also got chopped up by an aeroplane propeller in ‘Raiders’).

[@brittanyjaskiewicz6354]

Of all the Indiana Jones movies, this one if by far my favorite. I have to agree with Minty that this one, while it was much darker, was so much fun and more interesting than the others. While yes, Willie was more of a damsel in distress, it made much more sense for her to be like that. Don't get me wrong. Karen Allen's character in Raiders was a strong female lead. And I loved her for it. But, Willie took the cake for me. If I was put in all of those predicaments, I'd more than likely be screaming my head off. Especially when it came to free falling out of a plane, getting stuck in a tunnel full of nasty creepy crawlies, and then shackled into a cage dangling above a fire pit and almost dying. I feel like the other 2 movies that came after this were very tame and didn't take the risks that Temple of Doom did. Screw the critics. This movie gets 4 stars!

[@KevinElliot-ni4lb]

Yeah exactly. The take that this movie is somehow inferior is just getting old. Also every piece of Indy pop culture including an entire theme park ride comes basically from temple of doom

Dude, you said it exactly the way I feel about it. When I first saw this movie on TV in 1989, it quickly became my favorite Indiana Jones movie. I loved how dark and gritty it was. Of course it was edited for content so a year later we rented it and I got to see the full movie without commercials and just thought it was epic. It also has an amazing original score by John Williams that sounds like a pure adventure through the jungles and into the heart of darkness that is the Thuggy cult temple. Wish I could’ve seen this one on the big screen. Great video.

[@trippsevs8840]

I was around 10 when Temple came out. You've cleared something up for me that I was wondering since then. You mentioned the deleted scene of Shorty finding out how to cure Indy by touching him with fire when a guard was burned and some other guards take him away when the 'spell' is broken. I specifically remember that scene in the theatrical release back then and it confused me why it wasn't in the video release a few years later.

The reason Willie and the dancers cover the opening title sequence was Mr. Lucas's way of sticking it to the Director's Guild who insisted the credits be shown at the beginning, something Mr. Lucas didn't like doing as it took away from being immersed in the world of the movie.

[@Viking_Luchador]

if that was #11, then #12 should be famed British stuntman Pat Roach, who played the Thugee taskmaster (and the man banging the gong in the opening sequence), had previously played the Luftwaffe mechanic (and one of Toht's Sherpas in Marion's bar) in Raiders that challenges Indy to a bare-knuckle brawl. In both movies, he suffers a memorably gruesome death --- first chopped up by an airplane propeller, then crushed up by a rock grinder

@@LnPPersonified Yeah, I've heard that he got away with no opening credits in the first Star Wars because everybody in the movie business in 1977 was sure it was going to be a forgotten flop of a movie about ten seconds after it was released, so it wasn't worth the effort of arguing with Lucas about it.

[@SmallSpoonBrigade]

If you want to be technical, it was the prequel to Raiders of the Lost Ark. I hear a lot of whining about the racism of the film, but apart from the maharajah needing to go get a bunch of colonial soldiers at the end to beat back the cultists, it's not a particularly racist film. That's especially the case if you look at the other films, which are much less fair to the evil side that Indy is fighting. I personally liked Raiders of the Lost Ark the best, but in some ways, I think that Temple of Doom was a much stronger film than people give it credit for in general. But, a lot of it does come down to what you liked about the series. Each outing gave a somewhat different experience. You had a ton of action in Raiders, a bunch of violence in Temple and a more nuanced romantic plot with a bit more comedy in Crusade.

@@KP762a so you're saying that the rifle malfunction was probably the most realistic part of the movie? ;-}

In school, we could choose a movie to watch on our birthday. I chose this and traumatized half my third grade class. Between monkey brains and heart ripping....

[@pauljoyner4338]

Lmao. Good job. Terrified 3rd graders. That's good stuff.

[@jeffd5113]

this made me laugh out loud and I can't stop....

[@palaceofwisdom9448]

The boys in my third grade class excitedly talked about the various grisly kills in Friday the 13th. Temple of Doom didn't even phase us. I imagine the girls may have reacted differently, so maybe that's the half of the class that freaked out. 😂

[@sylviemac1971]

Omg! I saw this in the theatre as part of a friend’s birthday party. We girls were all freaking out watching this....meanwhile the boys loved it!

Dope? I think it's pretty smart.

[@Vamptonius]

Other than the date on screen, I can't see this being a prequel and didn't know until you mentioned it. It even has a callback in the 'knife to a gunfight' scene, only this time without a gun. It makes a point of being a callback by his look of "I've done this before." smugness before discovering it isn't a gun fight.

[@dvt1393]

Yup, so this actually being set in the past before Raiders makes this scene and Indy's reaction make absolutely no sense. That's gonna bug me every time I watch it again from now on. 😂

[@formallyknownasj.a.2074]

I’ve always liked Temple of Doom, but never fully appreciated it as I do as an adult. It’s an all around great movie and fits perfectly in the Indiana Jones TRILOGY.

[@joshlee2004]

Agreed, my favorite of the franchise. Just visually stunning of a movie! I wore out out VHS copy as a kid because i watched so many times. Temple, crusade, ark, kingdom in that order for favorites

[@TheNYCGoldenGlover]

My FAVORITE Indy movie by far. The arcade game was fantastic. Great graphics and sound although it was a quarter muncher. One cigar store near me had it and we were there everyday after school

This is my favorite Indy film as well. 1984 was a great year to be a kid and Temple of Doom made a big impact on me.

[@Jayboot]

Looking good mate! I loved all the indy films as a kid, and although i loved the first and third one equally, this one always seemed like the dark brooding sibling, but as i got older the more i fell in love with it.

[@michaelzahn4765]

Funfact to number 6: In Germany, the Title "Indiana Jones und der Tempel des Todes" would actually be the translation of Temple of Death not Temple of Doom...

[@Brinta3]

Doom is just a fancier word for death though.

[@looseele]

I believe the set that they used for the “Temple of Doom” was the same set they used for “Enemy Mine”

It’s been years since I’ve seen it...but this brought back a ton of childhood memories

[@sirmarkus2]

Dearest Minty. Your video style, the character you've created, and overall product is a work of art. The joy you genuinely have for these films speaks to your audience in a similar nostalgic way as things like Ready Player One does, only the book version though. Movie was lackluster. I sure appreciate your creativity. Thank you.

[@LLamaDrunk]

Hey there internet people. I find it really interesting, of all the Indiana Jones, Star Wars, Gremlins ETc (see what I did there?) videos I have seen over the years nobody mentions the audio books. I had tons of them to help me read when I was a kid, where you listen to a tape and read along. The Indy ones had you turning the page every time you heard the whip crack! Turn the clock forward 40 years and I've happily read some of the best sci-fi/fantasy novels out there. Keep up the great work Minty, you're giving me immense joy and happiness. Thank you!

@MintyComedicArts I love how you break down all of the fine points of the films and go into great details on each & every film you've presented us here on your channel *luv* it ! I got a question or suggestion for another video could you do a video on *TheSerpentWarriors* a 1985 film that starred Clint Walker & Chris Mitchum . It's been said this film has a mash up of multiple other "snake films" in it was hoping maybe you with your magical touch could deep dive into this film and give us fans a good solid break down on the film - would love to see what you come up with on it - thanks ahead of time !!

[@dawnwatson4158]

Temple of Doom is also my favorite Indy movie. The gritty gore and edgy themes were a bonus for me when I was a kid!

Saw this movie when it came out in Washington DC @ 10y/o right after having open heart surgery. Huge Indy fan.
