Harrison Ford once said Amrish Puri (the evil priest Mola Ram) is ironically one of the nicest people he’s ever known. Puri was so grateful for the role because it rejuvenated his acting career in India. All he had to do was keep shaving his head.

[@ronfehr7899]

I heard that they only had a limited time in which to do his scenes. Him being famous in India explains why. I suppose all of his other movies were filmed there.

[@Armaldo468]

It’s weird-it seems like a lot of actors tend to be almost exact opposites of their common roles. It’s not really consistent enough to even be a rule of thumb, but still. It seems like a *lot* of horrible characters are played by nice people, while some nice or virtuous characters are played by terrible people. I’ve read lots of comments talking about the guy who plays Biff Tannen in Back to the Future (sorry, I don’t have his name memorized, and I hate doing searches-also I detest Google as a company) apparently being a super kind and gentle person, and most of us know how awful the Tannen bloodline is. On the flip side, Chris Evans is pretty much the polar opposite of Steve Rogers/Captain America. Apparently Jim Carrey is also a notorious asshole, yet he often plays really good guys. Ditto for Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, unfortunately. (I say “unfortunately” because up until recently, The Rock was one of few celebrities I still had a fair bit of respect for; I grew disillusioned with Carrey and Evans several years ago for various reasons, though I still respect Carrey as an artist. Chris Evans never really meant anything to me before I learned how much of a prick he is, so I lost nothing there. Only thing that makes me sore about him is that he’s a total slap in the face to Captain America-and I’m not talking about his acting.) Obviously these are just a few examples, but there are a ton more of these bizarre contrasts out there, and it is interesting how often things work out this way.

Raiders and Last Crusade are the best

[@domingocurbelomorales8635]

Temple of Doom is a "prequel" of Raiders. Mola Ram, the evil priest, it´s played by Amrish Puri, who was a well known indian actor who passed away in 2005. For me, the perfect description of this movie is... "Darth Indiana". A great original trilogy, being "The last crusade" my favourite. The OST, by John Williams of course, reminds me ALWAYS to Star Wars, specially themes like "battle of the heroes" or "duel of the fates", in the dreadful scenes.

@@JordanCS13 It seems that a lot of people missed the "Don't judge a book by its cover" parts. Yes she have her flaws, but when she had to save lives: she was there. The worst character is the one in the Last Crusade, I won't spoil, but... Those who know know... The whole "Temple Of Doom" movie is "over the top", cartoonish, and with a weird mix of "for the kids", and "gore as hell", so it's not the best balance, it's below the other, but it still entertaining, and if you accept some goofiness, it's still a nice movie.

When the motors of plane stop (out of fuel), this is the same sound in Star Wars when Millenium falcon can't jump in hyperdrive. And Indiana Jones say the same replic : "we have a big problem"

You're absolutely right about how changing your look opens the door to different characters. I grew out my beard & let my hair grow to audition for a Western a while back.

[@jrivademarjr]

I know everybody has an issue with Willie’s character in this movie,, but you have to remember the source material that Indiana Jones is based on. His character is based on the 1940s serialized action adventures that you would get at the movie theaters. She would be a typical damsel and distressed character from that time and actually more accurate to the overall tone of this Indiana Jones series. Marion is a fantastic character in the first movie, but she is definitely more of a modern day woman.

[@thomasriddle7005]

The problem is they went for damsel in distress and overshot the mark by a fair margin.

[@jkhristian]

In fairness to Kate Capshaw she only did what Spielberg and the script told her to do.

[@glennjpanting2081]

44:09 - A lot of actors have changed their looks for a role, and that look has become their trademark. For instance, Richard Moll played bald, big-hearted bailiff Bull Shannon on the NBC series _Night Court_ (1984-1992; if you haven't seen it, it's hilarious!). Moll had shaved his head for his role in the movie _Metalstorm: The Destruction of Jared-Syn_ (1983). The producers of _Night Court_ liked the look so much that Moll kept his head shaved for the entire run of the series, and became famous for it!

[@auntvesuvi3872]

Thanks, Verowak! 🧭 I love the opening musical number so much. Yes, 'Willie' is a damsel in distress trope (as most female characters in the 1930s were depicted)... and very irritating. But otherwise, I think it's an enjoyable ride. And I don't think it's a spoiler to let you know that it was pure lust between them, not love. You won't have to worry about seeing her again.

[@TedLittle-yp7uj]

There were many, many strong female characters in 1930's films (c.f. Better Davis, Katherine Hepburn, Paulette Goddard, Barbara Stanwyck, etc., etc., etc.) Even in the serials, which the Indiana Jones films were based on, the female characters, though often in peril, were seldom week characters and often rescued the hero.

[@auntvesuvi3872]

@@TedLittle-yp7uj I'm very aware of that. I was speaking of the trope... which is a trope because it was common enough to become a trope. Verowak will surely research more interesting female characters and performers, the more she watches. My mother raised me on Bette Davis. 🥂

[@VerowakReacts]

My pleasure!! If the Gladiator songs were more easily hummable, I would have hummed that one too! This one was much easier to do 😅 I assumed it was lust between them, I'm just so used to it being love that it felt so weird. Once I realized lust was a thing, it made more sense 😂

Oh Indy, oh Indy, Skies are so windy.

[@mikethemotormouth]

My personal ranking: Temple Last Crusade Raiders That said, it's a very tight race all around. I can see the argument of this being the weakest of the three. The character of Willie is extremely easy to dislike, yes. I agree the romantic subplot does feel forced though that is usually my least liked thing of any movie. So I'm kinda accustomed to dealing with that. Still, there's a good handful of reasons why this is my favorite of the trilogy: with my childhood being filled with musicals like this Sound of Music, Wizard of Oz and Rocky Horror Picture Show, that opening number is a ton of fun; the dinner banquet scene speaks to my taste of an exotic diet very easily; the mine cart chase is a fantastic set piece; and I don't think I've ever seen a hero/sidekick relationship bridge an age gap quite like Indy and Short Round.

[@benschultz1784]

This was filmed in Sri Lanka as the Indian government wasn't too happy with the portrayal of Hinduism. An important scene that got cut for time had Indy run into Captain Blumbertt while getting the fruit platter for Willie, where Indy tells him something's off about Pankot because no one should have eaten anything from that feast. It also sets up Blumbertt returning with his Punjab Rifles later.

The book of the detail that they can't film and scenes that slow down the film but we're important. Short Round saw a guard get burned by hot coal and snapped out of the dream. Indy saw Willie as a giant black crow that spits acid. Read the book. It's even weirder and scarier than the movie.

It's amazing how many female reactors don't like Willie. 'Lust IS a thing.' I believe Kate Capshaw played her role perfectly, and she added a lot to the three-way chemistry of the leads. Spielberg knows what he's doing, and I think he nailed it here, too. Otherwise, Verowak, you did your usual excellent job. Thanks.

[@VerowakReacts]

This is why movies being subjective are great. A character that I cannot stand can be liked by others! Lust is a thing yes, but lust isn't the reason people don't like Willie. Kate played the role as it was intended for sure, which is a role that a lot of people dislike and cannot stand lol

[@NormCummings-h7b]

@@VerowakReacts Agreed, Verowak, and well said. I'd just detour a bit from your thinking to suggest lust might not be the sole reason, but it's definitely a factor, based on numerous other reactors' comments. Do you think maybe Spielberg had that in mind when he had Indy search for the antidote down Willie's blouse, or when he had Indy sorta grope the statue as Willie looks on? Anyway, Verowak, I'll look forward to your upcoming reactions.

[@The2ndQuest]

Believe or not, Muppet Babies used almost an entire episode adapting/parodying this, what is the darkest, most violent of the Indiana Jones films. While not the best Indy film, this remains my favorite. Partly because of all the jungle and dungeon adventure elements, but, I have to admit, probably has a lot to do with Muppet Babies, ha. Willie can be annoying- but it was at least partially intentional, as they wanted to distinguish the film further from Raiders by having the total opposite of Karen Allen's Marion. And she represents one of the archetypes from the old serial films that the Indy series takes inspiration from, for better or for worse. Also, if it's not mentioned elsewhere- the night club at the start is called Club Obi-Wan as an Easter egg, and the man helping Indy to the plane is an uncredited cameo by Dan Aykroyd.

A lot of people hate on Willie, but I think it's refreshing to see a female lead who isn't a strong-female-badass-bitch character, which is practically EVERY female lead character in the past three decades. Also, Indiana Jones is fantasy. That's why the situational aspects of the movie are so unbelievable and why certain scenes are laughable and you get the religious mysticism in every movie.

Which screaming character did you most want to mute/muffle/throw into a bottomless pit? a. Willie Scott in "Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom" (1984) b. Vicki Vale in "Batman" (1989) c. Ruby Rhod in "The Fifth Element" (1997) d. Mary Jane Watson in "Spider-Man" (2002) e. Bobcat Goldthwait in "any of his films" 😁😁😁

To borrow a Jaws quote: "You're gonna need a bigger pit."

To be fair, as much of this is a Steven Spielberg film, it is a dule right along with Gorge Lucas

Funny thing I only recently realized, Wuhan is a city in China, so Indy teamed up with someone else named after a place 😁

This one came out when I was probably five years old, which is right about the time I was the age that I still have significant memories of. I might've even seen this in the theater, but I'm not quite certain of that, but this is the one that does stick out as significant to my childhood. Though now, despite the nostalgia, it is my least favorite of the original trilogy, and maybe all of them. The third one, The Last Crusade, has really been my favorite since I first saw it in the theaters. No spoilers as to why, but I'm looking forward to you seeing it!
