A prequel to (1981) set in 1935, the year before, the professor, archaeologist and adventurer by the name of Indiana Jones is back in action in his latest adventure. This time he teams up with a nightclub singer named Wilhelmina 'Willie' Scott and a twelve-year-old Chinese boy named Short Round. They end up in a small distressed village in India, where the people believe that evil spirits have taken all their children away after a sacred precious stone was stolen. They also discover the great mysterious terror surrounding a booby-trapped temple known as the Temple of Doom. Thuggee is beginning to attempt to rise once more, believing that with the power of all five Sankara stones they can rule the world.
It's all up to Indiana to put an end to the Thuggee campaign, rescue the lost children, win the girl and conquer the Temple of Doom. Alternate Versions To avoid an '15' certificate in the UK (with the sacrificial ceremony said to be bordering on '18', according to a letter sent by the BBFC to UIP in 1984), the BBFC cut 1 minute 6 secs from the film and later said that it was one of the strongest PG ratings they had ever issued. Among the cuts made were a heart ripped from a sacrificial victim and his lowering into the blazing pit, edits to a whipping scene and the fight between Indiana and the overseer, and the removal of a shot of a man's head hitting the side of a cliff. The line 'Leave him alone, you bastards' was changed to 'Leave him alone' and sounds of screams and violence were also considerably reduced. This PG rated print was the only version available in the UK for many years until October 2012, when the cuts were fully waived for the 12 rated Blu-Ray release. I know that there are a lot of haters when it comes to Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, it has it's flaws and is by no means the strongest movie of the Indiana Jones series, but I just have so many good memories about this film and still to this day when I watch it, it gives me chills and excitement. The characters are memorable, the script is great, and Indiana is still pulling in the action packed excitement continuing from Raiders of the Lost Ark.

The direction, editing, even the special effects are great. You have to love Short Round and Willy, the two new side kicks to Indiana's new adventure.
Now I agree, Willy can get a little annoying here and there, but she was just so hilarious in that scene with the bugs and having to save Indiana and Short Round. Plus, Short Round has some of the most memorable lines of the entire series 'Okey, dokey, Dr. Jones, hold on to your potato!' , cheesy, but so funny. Harrison Ford still has Indiana down to a tee, this was the role that was meant for him. In this prequel, we start off in China on a trade off gone wrong with Lao Che, he ends up meeting a beautiful and very high maintence American girl, Willie.
They escape together with Indiana's little side kick, Short Round and accidentally without knowing, they've escaped onto Lao Che's air plane. They wind up in India, where they find out about these rocks that can restore the village they're in, also the children have been kidnapped by Mola Ram and Indiana must free the kids and restore the rocks so the village can be safe again. Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom is a fun sequel, I don't know why people complain so much about it.
I can understand if people say it's the weakest of the series, but on it's own, this is a fantastic movie. It's one of my biggest recommendations to my friends as well as other film viewers. It just has everything you could want: action, romance, alligators, and heart sacrifices, lol, OK, that sounded gross, just trust me this that this is such a fun movie. It's one of my favorite films, I know that sounds bad, but I just love this film. It's a lot of fun and Indiana and Short Round are just the best buddies to watch argue on screen. This is an awesome sequel, definitely a must see.

Contents. Plot In 1935, Indiana Jones narrowly escapes the clutches of Lao Che, a crime boss in,. With his 11-year-old Chinese sidekick Short Round and the nightclub singer Willie Scott in tow, Indy flees Shanghai on an airplane that, unbeknownst to them, is owned by Lao. While the three of them are asleep on the plane, the pilots parachute out, and they leave the plane to crash over the Himalayas while dumping its fuel. Indy, Shorty, and Willie discover this and narrowly manage to escape by jumping out of the plane on an inflatable raft, and then riding down the slopes into a raging river. They come to Mayapore, a village in northern India, where the poor villagers believe the three to have been sent by to retrieve the sacred stone stolen from their shrine, as well as the community's missing children, from evil forces in the nearby Pankot Palace.
During the journey to Pankot, Indy hypothesizes that the stone may be one of the five fabled Sankara stones that promise fortune and glory. The trio receive a warm welcome from the Prime Minister of Pankot Palace, Chattar Lal. The visitors are allowed to stay the night as guests, during which they attend a lavish but grotesque banquet given by the young, Zalim Singh.
Chattar Lal rebuffs Indy's questions about the villagers' claims and his theory that the ancient cult is responsible for their troubles. Later that night, Indy is attacked by an assassin, leading Indy, Willie, and Shorty to believe that something is amiss. They discover a series of tunnels hidden behind a statue in Willie's room and set out to explore them, overcoming a number of booby-traps along the way. The trio eventually reach an underground temple where the Thugs worship with human sacrifice. They watch as the Thugs chain one of their victims in a cage and slowly lower him into a ceremonial lava pit, burning him alive.
They discover that the Thugs, led by their high priest Mola Ram, are in possession of three of the five Sankara stones, and have enslaved the children to mine for the final two stones. As Indy tries to retrieve the stones, he, Willie, and Shorty are captured and separated. Indy is and forced to drink a potion called the Blood of Kali, which places him in a trance-like state where he begins to mindlessly serve the Thugs. Willie, meanwhile, is kept as a human sacrifice, while Shorty (who was also whipped) is put to work in the mines alongside the enslaved children. Shorty breaks free and escapes back into the temple where he burns Indy with a torch, bringing him back to his senses. After fighting off the guards and defeating Chattar Lal, Indy stops Willie's cage and cranks it out of the pit just in time before it has a chance to enter the fire, while Mola Ram escapes.
Releasing Willie from the cage, Indy retrieves the Sankara stones, and they go back to the mines to free the children, but Indy is caught up in a fight with a hulking overseer. The Maharaja, who is also under the Thugs' control, attempts to cripple Indy with a voodoo doll.
Shorty spars with the Maharaja, ultimately burning him to free him from his trance. With his strength returned, Indy kills the overseer. The Maharaja then tells Shorty how to get out of the mines. The trio escape from the temple in a mine cart, being chased by the Thugs, while Mola Ram dumps water in the tunnels in an attempt to drown them.
After barely avoiding the flood and coming above ground, they are again cornered by Mola Ram and his henchmen on a rope bridge high above a crocodile-infested river. Using a sword, Indy cuts the rope bridge in half, leaving everyone to hang on for their lives. After Mola Ram declares the stones are his, Indy utters an incantation which causes them to glow red hot. Two of the stones fall into the river, while the last falls into Mola Ram's hand, burning it. Indy catches the now-cool stone, while Mola Ram falls into the river below and is devoured by hungry crocodiles.
The Thuggees then attempt to shoot Indy with arrows, until a company of riflemen, summoned by the Maharaja, arrive and open fire on the Thuggee archers. Indy, Willie, and Shorty return to the village with the children and give the missing stone back to the villagers. And on a location in Sri Lanka during the filming of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. Huyck later recalled 'at one point when we were writing it we told George 'We know a lot of Indians.
We've been there. I don't think they're going to think this is really so cool. Do you think you're going to have trouble shooting there?' He said, 'Are you kidding?

Editing 'After I showed the film to George Lucas, at an hour and 55 minutes, we looked at each other,' Spielberg remembered. 'The first thing that we said was, 'Too fast'. We needed to decelerate the action.
I did a few more shots to slow it down. We made it a little bit slower, by putting breathing room back in so there'd be a two-hour oxygen supply for the audience.'

On the film has a rating of 57 out of 100, based on reviews from 14 critics, indicating 'mixed or average reviews'. Gave the film a perfect four-star rating, calling it 'the most cheerfully exciting, bizarre, goofy, romantic adventure movie since Raiders, and it is high praise to say that it's not so much a sequel as an equal. It's quite an experience.' Felt the film was 'too shapeless to be the fun that Raiders is, but shape may be beside the point. Old-time, 15-part didn't have shape. They just went on and on and on, which is what Temple of Doom does with humor and technical invention.'
Commented that 'I think in some ways, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom was better than. In some ways it was less.
In sum total, I'd have to say I enjoyed it more. That doesn't mean it's better necessarily, but I got more enjoyment out of it.' Colin Covert of the called the film 'sillier, darkly violent and a bit dumbed down, but still great fun.' , writing in, claimed it was 'one of the most sheerly pleasurable physical comedies ever made.'

Some of the film's cast and crew, including Spielberg, retrospectively view the film in a negative light, partly due to the film being the darkest and most overtly violent Indiana Jones film.
Both Lucas and Spielberg attributed the film's darkness to their relationship problems, Lucas divorce from and Spielberg's break up with, respectively. Kate Capshaw called her character 'not much more than a dumb screaming blonde.' Steven Spielberg said in 1989, 'I wasn't happy with Temple of Doom at all. It was too dark, too subterranean, and much too horrific. I thought it out-poltered. There's not an ounce of my own personal feeling in Temple of Doom.'
He later added during the Making of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom documentary, ' Temple of Doom is my least favorite of the trilogy.
