Reacting to INDIANA JONES AND THE TEMPLE OF DOOM (1984) | Movie Reaction

[@DawnMarieX]

My reaction to Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade has just now, literally just now, been uploaded to Patreon: www.patreon.com/DawnMarieAnderson

[@krashd]

Btw, if you're enjoying the Indy movies may I suggest the two National Treasure movies featuring Nicholas Cage (they made a third in 2022 but I haven't seen it yet), they are very Indy-like, Nicholas Cage doing the same thing Indy does but in the modern day as he tries to track down artefacts from America's history, then there is also The Goonies (brilliant 80's movie) where a bunch of kids do the Indiana Jones thing of trying to find a lost pirate treasure. In fact the kid from this movie (Ke Huy Quan who plays Indy's sidekick) has a major role in The Goonies.

[@briansolo]

The Anything Goes intro is one of my favorites in any movie EVER Interesting factoid: the man who plays the village shaman didn't know a lick of English. Spielberg sat right next to camera, feeding him his lines, and the actor would repeat the words, the best he could, phonetically. This one is often seen as the "black sheep" of the trilogy, but I absolutely love it, and the ending gets me in the feels every time. The looks on the parents' faces when the children return are so genuine & tender. One more thing: if you want a little bit more of the actor who plays Short Round as a youngster, and if you haven't watched it already, you HAVE TO watch The Goonies. You'll love it.

[@RDRussell2]

Oh, me too. I saw it the weekend it opened in the theater, so of course it was (1) totally packed with no empty seats and (2) no one really knew what to expect. Yeah, the entire theater was squirming and squealing at the scene with all the bugs. Bedlam is right. But the whole movie was like that: groans of disgust with the monkey brains, collective shock when the heart was removed, everyone leaning to one side as those rail cars veered around curves, gasps of breath every time those rail cars had to jump a gap in the track, and laughter whenever the rail car safely made it across. It was an experience you can only get in a theater! Sadly, you have to wonder if those days are long gone.

[@ronweber1402]

Even Kate Capshaw questioned Spielberg on all the screaming but Steven wanted screaming so screaming he got. I think that there is some truth to idea that they made her so annoying as a kind of catharsis to the acrimonious divorces they were both going through. I would've liked this movie a lot more if they hadn't made Willie the human equivalent of fingernails on chalkboard. They could have done the fish out of water thing without making her so unlikable

[@babs3241]

@@ronweber1402 There was the faintest whiff of a good idea in the scene where they were talking about her grandfather, and how it was that she ended up obsessed with making money (grandpa died poor no matter how many people he made happy... making people happy is great, but if you die because you can't afford a doctor or heat for the house in the winter, not so good). The arc could have been her realizing that making kids happy was a good thing to do, and maybe you don't have to be rich to be secure, or something like that. The materials were there. But yeah... instead, they went with "scream more."

The boy was also In The Goonies, which is basically Raiders of the lost Ark for kids. He was also recently in Everything, Everywhere, All At Once. He met Harrison Ford backstage at the Oscars and was nervous to approach since he hadn't seen him since they filmed this. Ford looked at him and said "Are you Short Round?" he replied, "Yes, Indy." This and Gremlins were responsible for the creation of the PG-13 rating int he US. It wasn't bad enough to be an R, but people thought they were too gross/scary for younger kids.

[@DevlinDomini]

This one takes place a few years before Raiders. So, it was Willy who got dumped before Marion came back into his life. Really hoping Short-Round is in the new movie. I assume that Indy found him a good home after this adventure and wouldn’t purposely endanger a child.

Steven Spielberg ended up marrying the actress that played Willie. I saw this movie as a kid when we were on vacation. It rained a few days, so we found ourselves at the movies. We saw this and Ghostbusters on that trip. Even though it rained It turned out alright.

[@DJBell1986]

My favorite part of the Lego video game version of Temple of Doom is if you try to play as Willie all she can do is scream and run in circles. Every button.

[@TSIRKLAND]

The priest pulling the sacrifice dude's still-beating heart out of his chest, him still living, then the heart bursting into flame when the guy does is amazing. When Willie is being sacrificed, the priest's hand moves toward her chest, but for some reason, he does not do the heart-pulling trick. Obviously, we need Willie to live, for film purposes. But why he refrained from performing that part of the ritual in the moment is unclear. When the priest and Indy are clinging to the slats of the dangling bridge, his fingers start to burrow into Indy's chest, but Indy manages to out-muscle him and pull his hand back. It is one of the cooler, but definitely weirder, magical effects in any of the Indiana Jones films- of fantasy films in general.

The relationship between Indy and Short Round was way better than the romantic relationship. Ke Huy Quan, who played Short Round, took a 20 year break from acting because nobody would cast him. Last year he was cast in Everything Everywhere All At Once and won an Oscar for the role (so did two of his costars and the film itself). You should totally watch it.

The bats are actually Fruit Bats & will come out during the daytime. The exterior of Pankot Palace was realised as both sets, which were build here in the UK….& also as a series of matte paintings. The guard who gets crushed is Pat Roach; who you saw get minced by the plane in Raiders. He also plays General Kael in Willow. Also, during the fight with the guard in the room, Ford suffered a severe spinal disc herniation. Despite Ford managing to film some scenes, production ended up was shut down whilst Ford was flown to hospital. For the following 5 weeks, stunt double Vic Armstrong body doubled for Ford whilst he recovered. Just as Indiana Jones was named after Lucas's Alaskan Malamute (who was the inspiration for Chewbacca), the character of Willie was named after Spielberg's Cocker Spaniel, and Short Round was named after scriptwriter Willard Huyck's dog, whose name was derived from The Steel Helmet. To answer the question about the fall from the aeroplane….Mythbusters tested it & the test dummy only sustained a broken pelvis….so it is possible that it would be survivable.

[@TheChromeRonin]

An interpretation is that Mola Ram never actually pulled anybody's heart out of anybody's body -It was all mass suggestion. Mass hypnosis, if you want to call it that. During the first sacrifice, we are shown what those present think they are seeing. During the second (attempted) sacrifice, we see what really happens (Mola Ram doing as if he is holding aloft a beating heart, when in fact he isn't). At the end of the movie, I interpret what Mola Ram tries to do to Indy on the remains of the rope bridge as an attempt at suggestion, perhaps inducing a heart attack or something.

[@nedzed3663]

All these years later, and I'm still hung up on one silly thing in this movie. Not the fact a man's heart got ripped out and he still lived, not the inflatable raft out of the airplane bit, the voodoo doll or how drinking blood turns you into an obedient slave. The thing that made me go "come on, now" even back when I was a kid watching this was how Indie made a grown man slide several feet away on the granite ground with 2 punches, that man slid a good bit, and was out, sleeping like he was in his bed.

@Dawn Marie, the Temple of Doom, though the second movie, is a prequel... though that term had yet to be coined when it came out. Raiders is 1936, Temple is 1935... That means Indy and Marion hadn't met back up yet. "CGI's amazing" you said. I laughed so hard! What CGI? There was some rear-projection screen work and some practical effects. This move was made in 1985. The state of CGI was practically non-existent, and wasn't actually called CGI yet.

[@kalasatwater2224]

I'm glad you did this one, for some weird reason some reactors skip this one

[@karlsmith2570]

39:48 The First Indiana Jones movie, Raiders of the lost ark was set in 1936, this one was essentially a prequel as it's set in 1935, one year earlier

[@stevena3244]

Objectively, 20°C is 68°F

[@JoeCensored]

"What about the last girl?" That hasn't happened yet, but the only clue is the year stated at the beginning. This is a prequel.

[@aussierob3860]

Tip Top reaction as always Dawn. Small Easter egg; the club at the beginning is called Club Obi Wan, a tribute to Obi Wan Kenobi from Star Wars. Anyway, cheers Dawn from Down Under.💯👍🇦🇺

The big guy is actually the same actor as the big German guy in the first movie. Pat Roach. Wrestler, martial arts artist and actor from Birmingham.

[@warrenrandall6936]

Yes, the German who has his head mutilated by the plane's propeller in the fight with Indy.

[@crazysnake1096]

In the Laserdisc version of this movie, you can see a couple of cockroaches scurrying across the dance floor during the opening scene. That scene and the one with the bug filled tomb were filmed at the same time right next to each other.

[@justcode2822]

I saw all the first 3 Indiana Movies at the cinema, and it's only now that I've found out that the second film was set a year earlier in the Indiana Time Line.

[@williamstevenson8518]

I love how Delbert Grady from The Shining comes to bail them out in the end.

[@ink-cow]

"The CGI is amazing!" No CGI in 1984! All practical effects.

[@Salta0monte]

The 'final boss fight' guy is the same actor as the huge bald guy fighting Indy around the plane in the last movie - English former professional wrestler Pat Roach.

[@charlescorbee9498]

He was playing in the movie: The Goonies - he was DATA

To those of you moaning about Dawn Marie being too warm, you are showing your ignorance. UK homes are designed to retain heat and after a day of 20+ heat the internal temp will be much higher, especially in a small space such as the room where Dawn Marie records. If you come from say Tampa Florida your home is designed to shed heat (overhangs, under floor crawl spaces, air con etc).

[@RabbiSteve1]

Thanks for this review panel, Jason. I am so excited to see this movie. One of my best friends saw it today and he felt confused by it, but is willing to see it again. I can see that the length and sprawling nature of the storytelling might be challenging. But I welcome that. I confess that I am a Western fan, and usually I’m all in from the get-go. And then it takes a lot for me to not at least like it. But because this is Costner, and his passion project and I just watched and loved OPEN RANGE, this for me is a must. I’ll be surprised if I don’t want to see it at least three times.

[@totallytomanimation]

You'd think, coming from a culture that created Haggis, you'd have a much stronger stomach for weird eats. By the way, all the effects are practical, there was no CG back then.

[@RoGueNavy]

Hey, haggis is delicious!!

[@tarmaque]

Not exactly all "practical." There is a great deal of really obvious green screen/chromakey compositing. But that's been around for decades and was definitely _not_ CGI. They also did a lot of miniature work on this.

[@michaelceraso1977]

yea that ROPE bridge was wild, I recall reading that of course they had tricks to show as if it was really a few hundred feet and H Ford has a Body double for a stunt man who actually did a lot of the stunts. Ford had INjured his back and needed a procedure done to relieve the back pains.

[@dan_hitchman007]

@@tarmaque Practical means tangible. All the effects were done in-camera, even if some were composited together in an optical printer.

[@totallytomanimation]

@@tarmaque I consider Green Screen to be practical, since it's just a way to composite practical elements. But I hear ya.

[@SomethingNowhereMan]

"Maybe it's going to be even more Doom in it..." For some reason, I thought you were gonna reference the game 'Doom' after that statement. xD

[@rinkuhero]

the little boy, grown up, is in another very popular movie: "everything everywhere all at once". maybe one day you'll review that movie and see the boy as a grown up. he's the father in that movie and has a child of his own. if you want to see him again as a kid (a little older), he's also in 'the goonies'.

[@TheScarecrow78]

I know this is a hot take but this is my favorite Indy film. I saw it in theaters with my parents and loved it. The darker tone really does it for me and even Willy's admitted annoyingness doesnt bring it down.

[@thegamingcook785]

Not even a hot take man. It's one of my favourites, indy and short round are my favourite duo, and I love Indy's ark from caring about the stones to rescuing the children, and freeing the village of the curse. Willy was annoying, but the actress played her part well, and mula ram was so overtop as a villain and I love it, and the finale is one of my favourites in the series, muscled up Harrison ford going crazy is always fun, And I love the comedy in this one

[@jasonpratt3970]

Your voice and reactions are fuggin priceless

[@lethalwolf7455]

30:08 should’ve earned an award for acting using only facial expression. That is the most intimidating look I’ve ever seen!

[@fredarsenault8987]

As Ricky would say: Indianapolis jones!

[@hissatsu4937]

Dawn and Indiana Jones movies are perfect combination 😁👍

[@Enigmatic..]

When you said you'd wash the elephant with shampoo and conditioner and give it a ( BLOW DRY ), for a second i thought you were going to say something else lol

[@shainewhite2781]

The darkest and most controversial Indiana Jones movie ever made. This film, as well as Gremlins, inspired the MPA to create the PG -13 rating.

[@nathancruz9172]

22:35 Almost 40 years.

[@jonathanblaze1648]

I saw this in theaters in 1984 at 6 years old and loved it. In the next few years I watched this movie over 60 times on VCR. It's my favorite Indy movie and it's the funniest. Raiders of the Lost Ark 9/10 Temple of Doom 10/10 The Last Crusade 9.5/10 Kingdom of the Crystal Skull 3.5/10 The Dial of Destiny 7.5/10

This is my childhood in a movie lol!!!! snakes, cliffs, gun shots at me feet!! riding horses,dirt bikes and racing mtn bikes. Downhill skiing. Oh , I was in the USMC too lol. Being poor young did have some advantages🙏🤩😄😊😊

I"m old...my 20's are my childhood years😏

[@guitarman8462]

Those bats are called " Flying Foxes " . They eat fruits .

[@robertjewell9727]

Interesting footnote: the time period of this film is before Raiders.

[@SteveHARDWATER]

Thanks for making me revisit this one. A lot better than I remembered really. 😊
