Back in the 80s, my sisters and I would watch this a lot and jump off of the top bunk or the sofa onto these giant cushions we had and yell “WASAYA!!!” like the cult member did. Our mom would walk into the room and say “Keep jumping off my furniture and I’m gonna ‘WASAYA’ all of you right in the ass!!”
in terms of physical stunts, Indiana Jones is still the nº1 action hero in my book; doesn't need a fast car with gimmicks or a machine gun/grenades; just his body, fists, wits, a whip and a revolver; it's a shame they didn't do a 4th movie circa 1992-94
Another perfect action sequence. Camera, editing, FX, structure of rising tension and resolution - amazing that one of film's greatest chase sequences takes place entirely on rails!
The water behaved very well. Staining on the rails all the time, not falling into the endless pits of nothingness or lava, making it all the way to the end. :D
I say that the fact that this scene is even spoofed in a korean crazy black humor animated feature movie(Aachi & Ssipak), pretty much speaks for itself. Oh and I might be just being another biased Lucas-fanboy, but those at 1:07, those were definitely lightsaber sounds! xD
There is an Indiana Jones ride at Disneyland in California. There's also a ton of various minecart rollercoasters out there, like Big Thunder Mountain also at Disneyland.
I liked the first movie and the Last Crusade, but just never could get into the Temple of Doom. It was just too slapstick for me, kinda like Conan the Barbarian being serious while Conan the Destroyer was not up to par.
I like to watch it with the perspective of indi being a young selfish guy who wants to be like the fedora guy from last crusade and that by the end he drops the fortune and glory aim he had setting up the character arks for the next two films in the timeline
Doubt it. I was there, the packed house ate it up. TOD is a masterpiece. The groaners are like today's cinema. Facepalms, groans, shouts of "BULLSHIT!" aplenty with the Fast franchise, John Wick and especially the MCU.
@@JessicaChastainFan Were you at the showing I attended at the Harry Street Mall Cinema in Wichita, KS in 1984? NOPE, you were not. People literally groaned at the big jump over the gap. You know what I doubt? That you were even born when this movie was released.
Your theater was one out of thousands. You do realize that right? Everyone loves this movie, any RU-vid video you see on it proves it. So even though we were not in your theater with a bunch of uptight farmers who just cared about getting back to their graining, we are in the majority....obviously . Dear lord!
Spielberg's foolish movie this temple of doom, he insulted india with very poor script, that time world this Spielberg is correct, but he lied about india in this movie.
