Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom - FULL REACTION
Added 2024-07-22 21:48:55 +0000 UTCI mean what a crazy prequel!! I had no idea this film was going to have such a frightening story full of rituals and sacrifices. Totally makes sense why it's called "...the temple of doom". Enjoy :)

Same haha. It kinda makes sense I suppose, but I never knew in 30 years of watching this film.

2024-07-26 02:30:44 +0000 UTCA strange sequel but still very fun. Pacing is a little weird and Willy is annoying although i think she is fine in the second half there here reactions feel less out of place. Certainly a dark tone but it works. The third film is excellent should be a fun adventure (: Short round is brilliant best part of the film by far.

2024-07-25 00:17:56 +0000 UTCIt was so surreal to me when Ke Huy Quan made his comeback, because to me growing up with this movie and The Goonies as major parts of my life, to me he's always been a huge star π€£

2024-07-24 04:56:53 +0000 UTCI said it in the last one, I don't care what anyone says, this is my favorite Indy movie and the only one that I truly love and watch regularly. Raiders is really good, Last Crusade kind of bores me, Crystal Skull was meh and Dial of Destiny can go burn in hell. I didn't see any of the others until I was an adult but we had this one on VHS and I watched it many times. I always wished they had taken Indy in the direction of an archaeological James Bond. Every movie a new adventure, a new location, a new lady. Have Shorty show up every so often. They could have made a dozen of them. But I found that the focus on Indy's personal life doesn't interest me. There's one more Lucas movie with this same feel - "Willow" from 1988. It's a dark fantasy and one of my all time favorites, I think you'd like it.

2024-07-24 04:53:47 +0000 UTCBest of this film was Short Round!!! The actor who played him just now won an Oscar decades later, for his role in "Everything, Everywhere, All at Once" (He also played Data in "The Goonies") And The Last Crusade is the best one of this franchise...Sean Connery is in it!!! There is a movie that Sean Connery played in that almost no one knows about with Christian Slater in it and F. Murray Abraham is in it as well..."The Name of the Rose"...it is a medieval murder mystery set in an Abby....great film!!!

2024-07-23 22:20:51 +0000 UTCThe only iffy thing that this movie has is the voodoo dolls. As a neo pagan i just laughed seeing them pull one out. Voodoo and Hoodoo are a magic practice started from african religions and north america so seeing an indian kid pull one out with an evil smile is so corny lmao. This was always my favorite movie as a kid even when my mom made me shut my eyes during the scary parts!

2024-07-23 06:34:53 +0000 UTCI can't tell you how much I loved that your first real comment on the content of the first scene, apart from mentioning the actress, was an awkward/puzzled look on your face and "riiiiight......this makes sense." π I know what you were getting at about the time period but without that context it's a hilarious thing to open with, given that the entire reason that scene exists was because they thought it would be ironic if this big action movie opened with a dance number.

2024-07-23 06:11:41 +0000 UTCOscar, you survived the challenges of the second installment. Now to reap the benefits of the top-notch third entry in the franchise. Some questions voiced here will be answered. BTW, I had trouble with your volume choices, hard to hear the film dialogue without having you shouting.

2024-07-23 04:22:40 +0000 UTCI do believe this movie had a ride in one of the major parks here in the US! May have been at the Universal theme park? I vaguely remember going on it as a young kid back in the 90βs. I hope you get a chance to watch The Goonies! It has the kid who played Short Round in it.

2024-07-23 02:02:11 +0000 UTCThis one is definitely βout thereβ to say the least, going off your comment at the end of Raiders capturing the essence of spirituality, you will LOVE the next one, it is everything a great Indiana Jones movie should be β€οΈ

2024-07-22 23:23:16 +0000 UTCAnd I just looked up the cast really quick and I forgot that Ke Huy Quan was in this movie as Short Round. Apparently this was his film debut as a child, and just last year he won his first Oscar award for best supporting actor for Everything Everywhere All At Once. Harrison Ford was the presenter for the award and they shared a hug. Itβs a very cool full circle moment.

2024-07-22 23:18:52 +0000 UTCJust started and already very surprised by the Anything Goes musical theatre performance. Itβs true that as far as pop culture goes, musical theatre isnβt the main source of entertainment anymore, but how theatre itself has evolved is super interesting, as well, although people still love to see the classics when itβs done right like how they performed it in the movie. Itβs a lot of hard work. Not an easy job at all, but as someone who is a musical theatre performer by night, itβs an amazing job to have and so worth it if you love it. But yeah, seeing that first thing in this film was very surprising to me, but also made my heart swell. π Side noteβ¦ that choreography is INCREDIBLE!!!

2024-07-22 22:59:00 +0000 UTCMay I suggest George of the Jungle if you havenβt seen it yet? 1997, Brendan Fraser and Leslie Mann.
