I’ve never understood the criticism and people who hate Temple of Doom. To each their own but I love Temple of Doom as much as Raiders and Crusade

[@fshoaps]

I am not one of those people, but I can tell you the reasons why. Temple Of Doom has much less of a plot, it doesn’t tie in characters like Sallah, or even Belloq.

[@TwoToneTonyLee]

@@fshoaps I thought it was because it was to dark and some say sexiest but f that’s it’s great

[@stravinsky1300]

I am a mixture. I certainly don't *hate* the movie (if I did I wouldn't be watching this video) but there are some parts of it I don't care for or wish they could have been done differently. For me personally, Raiders is the best Indiana Jones movie.

[@robdilauro4344]

Willie Scott is amazing, stop it. Yes, she is spoiled and self-centered, but she was actually stronger than most fans make herself out to be and did some really heroic stuff throughout. Plus, she's hilarious.

[@TheMovieHowze]

Shes also great because shes so different from marion, which allows indy to deal with a very different dynamic. It makes it unique.

[@JudasFm]

@@TheMovieHowze Same. I like Willie Scott because she's the only one of Indy's companions to actually develop as a character. Marion at the beginning of Raiders acts the same way as she does at the end, likewise Elsa. Willie goes from being a screaming damsel in distress to punching guys off mine carts and stomping on Mola Ram's fingers, and is the only one to call Indy out for all the shit she goes through (IIRC, unlike Marion and Elsa, Willie never asks or volunteers to go with Indy; it just kind of happens).

[@matthewrascoe8690]

I like the villain of this film, Mola Ram is the perfect blend of Manson-esque cult leader with the wicked manipulative intelligence of a Bond villain, a balance that suits the films dark tone. Add in his plan to desecrate all of the world and their religions with the mystic stones, Ram is on the level with Donovan or Spalko as a monster.

[@sk8777kid1]

This was the first one I saw as a kid. Indiana Jones was one of hero’s as a kid.

[@2degucitas]

I always wondered how they did the bridge scene. 3 different sets to complete all the elements. Those kicking mannequins were so realistic I thought they were stunt people!

[@TwoToneTonyLee]

Think this might be my favourite. Probably made Indiana jones bigger. All the kids say, they don’t want us to watch it, they made a new rating system for it lol

Indiana Jones: When Steven met Kate

[@ericsahagun5344]

I got honestly tell you and this blows my mind because I surprised myself but I really thought this movie was too dark I loved raiders of the Lost ark but for years after seeing it in the theater I refused to see it again I even bought the trilogy when it was available but I would watch one and three three and one and I strongly objected to the Temple of Doom and it took me a long time before I would give it a chance and now I still think it's dark and when I hear you guys talking about it I have to agree with the parts where you guys say This is dark very dark and it's not okay but I changed my mind and I decided to focus on the contrast of the comic relief and the actress Kate Kapshaw who I fell in love with and I'm just as hell of Steven Spielberg Well I loved her and I love short round and I have decided to love the movie! And seen behind the scenes and all the work that went into pulling it off I really have to respect how well it was put together and the great lengths they took to achieve all these amazing scenes truly a work of genius and great skill via the crew the cast and the production!

[@jimmymccartney2049]

Music: John Williams(1984)

[@pajasek99]

John Williams' soundtrack in the Indiana Jones movies is truly iconic and perfectly captures the adventurous and exciting spirit of the films. His use of memorable themes and motifs, such as the famous "Raiders March," adds an extra layer of excitement to the action on screen and has helped to make the Indiana Jones franchise a beloved classic. Williams' ability to create music that is both thrilling and emotional is a testament to his skill as a composer, and his contributions to the world of film music are truly unforgettable.

[@jimmymccartney2049]

[@katharper655]

I was living in Twin Falls, Idaho and the raft going off the canyon was the Snake River Canyon just to the northwest of Twin Falls. Now, I see crazy lunatics are base-jumping off the Perrine Memorial Bridge which is about 2 miles from where the raft went off the canyon. But they used the Snake River Canyon for the raft fall. Good choice...

[@wrenchofpower]

Bring back the stones and our children...bring back to us...bring back to us. We prayed to Shiva. That is why your plane fell from the sky. You didnt crash.

Like most people, I love ROTLA , TOD , and TLC ✝. TOD is my favorite though. None of them are altruistic. Indy is a pirate. Willie is a gold digger. And Shorty is a con artist. But they all draw the line at the slave labor of children. It also has the best combination of action, horror, romance, and comedy! ROTLA 8/10, TOD 10/10, TLC 8/10.

Four questions I've always had about this movie. 1. Why were the sacrifice's arms being held high up above him? 2. Why was a Thuggee wrapping his arms around the sacrifice's neck and holding the sacrifice's head back? 3. Why did Mola Ram stare at the sacrifice's chest for a few seconds after he held his hand over it? 4. Why did Mola Ram wriggle his hand around while it was going into the sacrifice's chest? If someone knows the answers to my questions, please reply and let me know. Thank you very much. 😊

[@Nattevandring]

1. To expose more the chest (something like in crucifixion) 2. Same as above, to keep him straight and with chest exposed 3. It's part of the dark magic involved in opening his chest to extract the heart 4. Same as 3. Just my two cents
