Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom is a 1984 adventure film, the second entry in the Indiana Jones film series, and a prequel to the previous film Raiders of the Lost Ark (making it the first in terms of narrative chronology). It is directed by Steven Spielberg, with the screenplay by Willard Huyck and Gloria Katz and the story written by George Lucas.The prologue sees Indy (Harrison Ford) getting into some trouble in mid-1930s Shanghai, and nearly dying from poisoning when one of his clients tries to double-cross him. He escapes with his two sidekicks Willie Scott (Kate Capshaw) and Short Round (Ke Huy Quan) aboard a plane but they crash in the Himalayas. The main plot then begins when they arrive at a village in India, and the inhabitants tell them an evil cult stole a sacred stone from them and kidnapped their children for slave labor. Indy then sets out to retrieve the stones and free the children from the cult's grip.The film also stars Amrish Puri as Mola Ram, Roshan Seth as Chattar Lal and Philip Stone as Captain Philip Blumburtt. Along with the first Gremlins film, Temple of Doom is largely responsible for the creation of the PG-13 rating.The film's story is followed in production order by Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.

Tempting Fate: After they drop down from the plane in a rubber dinghy and more or less safely land on a mountain slope, Indy comments on how well it turned out for them. Cue the rubber dinghy going over a cliff and down a raft. Short Round wants to demonstrate the sturdiness of the Rope Bridge to Willie by wildly jumping around on it. Guess what happens next.

comment
Brainwashed and Crazy: Anyone opposed to Mola Ram: The maharaja, many of the slaves, and even Indy. Possibly Chatter Lal as well. Don't drink the kool-aid around Mola Ram. Hell, the novelization and shooting script both had even Mola Ram waking up from brainwashing when he grips the Sankara Stone at the end. And then the poor guy falls to the crocodiles before Indy can save him (cut from the movie both because it seemed too cruel and it begged the question of who brainwashed him?).

All There in the Manual
 Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom / int_17ce80aa
comment
All There in the Manual: The dinner scene is infamous as it appears to portray a crude stereotype of Indian cuisine (and perhaps non-Western dietary practices generally). However, the novelization makes it clear that the point was to provide the first clue that something was amiss at Pankot, and that Chattar Lal wanted to horrify the trio and the British officer in an attempt to get rid of them. We also get some information on Short Round's background, plus the fact that he thinks that one of the elephants is the reincarnation of his dead brother. According to the novelization, Short Round's real name is "Wan Li".

comment
Artistic License – Biology: Indy tells Willie that the "birds" she is seeing are giant, vampire bats. Vampire bats are both small and from the Americas. Those are fruit bats. Although at the time, Willie was annoying him, so it is possible Indy only said that to scare her. The "crocodiles" in the bridge scene at the climax of the film are recognizably American alligators, not crocodiles.

Where's My Gun?
 Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom / int_1b72be3
comment
Where's My Gun?: Indy is confronted by a massive Thuggee swordsman and cockily reaches for his revolver (in a Call-Forward to the famous scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark). However, his smile vanishes when his hand pats his empty holster. He lost it earlier during the car chase with Lao Che's men, when he handed it to Willie, who of course dropped it out the window (to be fair, this is because it was very hot and she couldn't hold it), causing him to scream this trope at her.

Papa Wolf: Indy is enraged when the Maharaja whips Short Round, even though he's being whipped himself and can only shout "Leave him alone, you bastards!" Between that and the other enslaved children, the Thugee are arguably the only enemies that Indy fought with more fury than he did later against the Nazis.

Everybody Hates Hades: This film played a large role in giving Kali the same reputation as the Greek God of Death in the Anglosphere. In Hinduism, Kali is a popular deity who represents transformation and transience, and the power to face most of life's challenges with strength. Here she's transformed into a Satanic figure against all traditions of existing Hinduism in India.

The Cavalry Arrives Late: Blumburtt and his troops at the end of the film. Lampshaded by Willie and only partially late since they neutralize the threat of the Thuggee archers, killing several and forcing the rest to flee.

What Measure Is a Non-Cute?
 Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom / int_2e528f4e
comment
What Measure Is a Non-Cute?: Indy and the others are outnumbered enough to hold from stopping the torturous sacrifice of an adult. Whipping a little kid with the same numbers however, that's going too far.

Ooh, Me Accent's Slipping: When he first appears, at the dinner scene, the young Maharajah speaks with a very plummy RP accent. However, much later on, after Shorty has beaten him up, he comes out with "Please leesten! To git out, you mast tek de lift tunnal!", in some sort of "ethnic" (Indian?) accent. Well, he was Brainwashed and Crazy before. Willie's Missouri drawl tends to slip back in when she gets really mad. (Kate Capshaw is really from there.)

Agony of the Feet: Indy slows down the runaway mine cart that he, Shorty, and Willie are escaping in before it crashes into the barricade at the end of the tracks by stomping on the cart's wheel to apply pressure, as the cart's brake lever had snapped when they tried to use it. The frictional heat sets his shoe on fire and leaves him jumping around, calling for water to put it out.

Water cascading from the mine causes parts of the cliff wall to cave in or be penetrated by broken wooden beams, forcing the three further along the ledge to avoid the debris.

comment
Hand in the Hole: Indy and Short Round are going to get crushed to death in the trap full of bugs because Willie doesn't want to stick her hand in the dark hole to release the trap. It's a subversion, though, because it's not the dark hole that creeps her out. It's the fact that the hole is literally crawling with bugs of all types. And she picks the wrong hole at first as Indiana's hand points out.

Artistic License – History: The Thuggee Cult died out in the 1850s, yet this film takes place in the 1930s and presents the arrival of a British regiment (or rather, an Indian Army regiment led by a British officer) at the end as The Cavalry. Small wonder it was banned in India. The film is inspired by Gunga Din which likewise took place in an earlier period. (The movie does refer to the Thuggees as having been originally wiped out "a hundred years ago", implying that the movie's Thuggees are meant to be interpreted as a fictional resurgence.)

Aren't You Going to Ravish Me?: In the scene where Indy bursts into Willie's room looking for more hitmen and for the secret entrance to Kali's temple, Willie is at first coquettishly alarmed by the aggressive demeanour of Indiana ("Be—be gentle with me!"), then confused and finally disappointed.

Hiding Behind the Language Barrier: During the final confrontation against Mola Ram and the Thugees on the rope bridge, Indy manages to convey his plan to sever the bridge (with everyone on it) to his Chinese sidekick Short Round, using Mandarin.

Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?

comment
Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: Willie freaks out about the wildlife, not to mention being annoyed about an elephant that keeps nudging her with its trunk. Then a snake slithers onto her and she casually throws it aside while Indy has frozen in terror, thinking it's the elephant again. Subverted during the dinner scene with "Snake Surprise". The snake itself is dead, and what are commonly mistaken to be snakes crawling out of the body are actually eels, so Indy is unfazed.

Not Distracted by the Sexy: After being attacked by an assassin in his room, Indy goes to Willie's room to search for the Secret Underground Passage that the assassin entered from. But Willie mistakenly believes that Indy showed up at her room so that he could make love to her. Willie spends the next few moments offering herself to Indy while he ignores her in his search for the passage.

Sacred Hospitality: Downplayed. Indy, Willie and Short Round are given food when they come to the village. Willie refuses it at first, Indy says that they have been given more food than the villagers get in a week. So, Willie's natural reaction is to give it back so the villagers can eat. Indy summarizes that she is just insulting [the villagers] and embarrassing him in the process. After Willie reluctantly eats, the village elder is a lot more friendly.

Played for Laughs, where Indy and Willie have an argument over their Belligerent Sexual Tension. Each one is certain that the other is hot for them (and they're both right), but their egos won't allow either to "submit". Thus, they retire to their individual rooms and the audience is treated to a montage as they prepare themselves for a wild night of raunchy sex, only to (angrily) realize that neither one is biting. Then, the trope is played its straightest after Indy is almost assassinated in his room and barges into Willie's to check for another assassin, with Willie reclining on the bed, positively giddy to see a crazed Indy bursting her door down, sexily cooing "Oh...

Category Traitor: Jones accuses Mola Ram of betraying Shiva — a deity that neither of them worship, but it mattered to the ancient text about the Sankara stones ("Follow in the footsteps of Shiva. Do not betray his truth."). Bizarrely, it's the one decent piece of Hinduism in the movie. Kali is Shiva's bride and both are part of the same over-deity. Mola Ram is a blasphemer on a big-big scale.

Non-Dubbed Grunts
 Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom / int_8f27123b
comment
Non-Dubbed Grunts: In the foreign translations, Willie's screaming is often left undubbed. Curiously, there is an exception where her screams are dubbed, during the scene where the group camps for the night on the way to Pankot Palace. The most likely answer for this is that Willie screaming and the others talking ended up on the same audio track, so the dialogue could not be removed without also erasing the screaming.

Bowdlerized: For its UK release, about one minute of violence and gore was cut in order to secure a PG rating rather than a 15 (the 12 rating wouldn't be introduced until 1989, and 12A until 2002). There was also some drama about the rating in the US. The uncut version was finally released on Blu-ray in 2012 with a 12 rating. Detailed 'Cutting Edge' background and comparison video via GNC Films

Artistic License – Religion
 Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom / int_a27c0c2c
comment
Artistic License – Religion: Every single thing to do with Hinduism. In fact, what the movie gets right about Hinduism or India can be counted on the fingers of one hand. Though to be fair to the film, most of the Hindu characters are explicitly shown to be members of the villainous Thuggee cult, making them as much of an accurate representation of Hinduism as the Peoples Temple was for Christianity. One of the most egregious errors is that Shiva and Kali are set up as gods of good and evil respectively, while in Hinduism they are both unambiguously good, and in Bengali Hindu tradition, they're husband and wife. Kali worship is a perfectly benign activity as opposed to the demonic rituals portrayed in the film, and the real-life Thuggees were never so diabolically evil. The only record of the Thuggee cult is that of the English governor William Sleeman who captured the original group, and some historians argue that he considerably exaggerated their presence and activity to boost his career. The little that we know of Thuggee suggests an organized group of highwaymen who robbed travellers and killed them by strangling them with a rumal (a special handkerchief/scarf), an ersatz-Aztec cult interested in human sacrifice they were not. In fact, the word "Thug" in North India now refers to a swindler or con-man rather than a violent goon or murderer. Mola Ram claims that when he succeeds in his Evil Plan they will take down Allah, the Hebrew God and the Christian God, evidently not realising that all three are the same being. Admittedly, being a Hindu (and a thoroughly blaspheming one at that), he might just be ignorant of other faiths.

The actor playing the village Shaman spoke no English, so delivered his lines by phonetically repeating after Spielberg, who was prompting him off-camera. His long pauses are not for dramatic effect, but simply because he is waiting to receive his next line. Even a moment where he wipes his eyes was him mimicking Spielberg.

Save the Villain: When the Head Thuggee Guard is getting pulled into the rock crusher via his sash, Indy tries to pull him to safety, trying to save him despite the fact the guy just tried to kill Indy the same way. When that doesn't work, he hands the guard one end of a rope attached to a pulley system and pulls down on the other end, trying to lift him out. Of course, the guard is too heavy (and the pull proves too great) that it lifts Indy instead of pulling the guard free. Even though it is a well-deserved painful end to the brute's life of cruelty, even Indy can't help but turn away in horror at the gruesome results.

Chekhov's Skill: Indy fluently shifts into Chinese while arguing with Short Round over which of them is cheating more at cards. He later uses the same language to warn the boy that he is going to cut the bridge without alerting Mola Ram and his Mooks. Indy, being an Omniglot, knew enough Hindi to activate the Stones by uttering an incantation:

Oh, Crap!: Indy actually lets out a little yelp of terror when he realizes there are more Thuggees charging towards him. Also when he realized he doesn't have his gun. This is Wille's facial expression for much of the film. The plane's fuel is empty and is about to crash into the mountains. "Indy, cover your heart! Cover your heart!!" Mola Ram when he sees Indy climbing up after him on the rope bridge after attempting to knock him off.

Convection, Schmonvection: Zig-zagged. It's averted when the first sacrificial victim bursts into flames well before plunging into the lava pit (his heart, which Mola Ram holds onto the entire time, starts smoking even before that happens). Then it's played straight when Willie is in the exact same situation, and again during the mine cart chase tug-of-war in the lava cavern.

Faux Fluency
 Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom / int_b26b3e4b
comment
Faux Fluency: The opening "Anything Goes" number. It seems they did have a Mandarin translation of the Cole Porter song, but Kate Capshaw butchered the pronunciation. Since Mandarin is a tonal language, this effectively turned it into gibberish. Here's a Chinese speaker's best guess at a translation. The actor playing the village Shaman spoke no English, so delivered his lines by phonetically repeating after Spielberg, who was prompting him off-camera. His long pauses are not for dramatic effect, but simply because he is waiting to receive his next line. Even a moment where he wipes his eyes was him mimicking Spielberg.

Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?
 Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom / int_bce16d24
comment
Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?: The two thugs that work for Lao Che. Instead of simply shooting Indy while he was sleeping on the plane, they instead plot a collision course into a mountain and then parachute from the plane. This is even more stupid when you realise that they're just parachuted into the middle of the Himalayas! Where the hell were they planning on going after landing halfway up a mountain?! note  According to the shooting script, the two thugs saw that Indy had quick reflexes and weren't sure whether he was asleep or half-asleep so they got cold feet and decided to jump out of the plane rather than go after him with a knife Subverted when Indiana is about to pull his "revolver defeats swordsman" routine from the previous movie, but he is lacking the gun. He resorts to Good Old Fisticuffs and then proceeds to use his whip.

Willing Suspension of Disbelief
 Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom / int_c39a5ef0
comment
Willing Suspension of Disbelief: To be expected, as this is an Indiana Jones movie. But a few notable examples: The raft escape. The thing doesn't flip over during the whole fall (which MythBusters demonstrated it would), the landings don't hurt everyone aboard or throw them clear, and the raft doesn't burst on impact after the spectacular fall or get shredded during the toboggan-style slide down the mountain. If The Maharajah was planning to have Indy killed, why send a single assassin? He had a palace of guards at his disposal. Fire breaks the Black Sleep? Seems like this might cause a lot of problems, given the Temple of Doom is in a lava-oozing cave network, with lots of torches around. Indeed, in the novelization, this is how Short Round learns — a guard is burned by a spurt of lava and starts to snap out of it just before he's led away by other guards, no doubt to be drugged again. Willie Scott would have certainly burned to death, that close to the lava. Yet she's absolutely unhurt. Many, many, many times, the minecarts (in all instances) would have gone off the rails. That track layout was not practical to carry the minecarts. The fact that Indy stops a runaway minecart by using his feet as brakes and still even has feet, let alone being able to run for his life on them soon after. The pressure of the water from the collapsed storage tank is WAY too powerful by the time it reaches the end of the mine cart tracks, given the distance it covered and the lava it certainly encountered (boiling away and/or filling up the empty space under the tracks).

Shout-Out
 Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: The nightclub from the prologue is called "Club Obi-Wan". Many to Gunga Din (from the Thuggee plot to minor details and iconic scenes such as the bridge) to the point it can be considered its Spiritual Successor. Read The footage of the giant bats as Jones and his entourage pass through the jungle on their way to Pankot Palace is taken from The Bridge on the River Kwai. Spielberg pays homage to David Lean, the man who inspired him to become a director. The names Pankot and Mayapore are taken from the 1960s-70s "Raj Quartet" novels by Paul Scott, of whom writers Willard Huyk and Gloria Katz are fans. The name of Short Round is a Homage to Samuel Fuller's The Steel Helmet where the American GI protagonist befriends a Korean boy during the Korean War and gives him the same nickname. The opening musical number is Spielberg's spoof of Busby Berkeley musicals of the early 30s, namely the number "Shanghai Lil" from Footlight Parade which has the same element of Chinoiserie and Shanghai setting. The scene where Indy wakes up and discovers the plane's pilot has disappeared is straight out of Lost Horizon.

Foreign Queasine: "Ahh. Chilled monkey brains!" —Not to mention the appetizer course of giant beetles, live eels inside a posed snake corpse, eyeball soup... As it turns out, this was a Batman Gambit to try to encourage both the British and Indy's party to leave; it obviously failed miserably. The novelization highlights the banquet menu as a tipoff that all is not well in Pankot, as Hindus would never eat such food, and further that not even a "normal" bad guy would serve something so depraved.

Contrived Coincidence: An escaped child slave makes it all the way back to Mayapore on the exact same night that Indy and his companions arrived at the village and agreed to seek out the sacred stone, and carries with him a vital clue to guide Indy. (Then again, this could add credence to the village elder's belief that everything about Indy arriving at the village is by Shiva's design.)

Artistic License: The film derives entirely from pulp fiction (like all Indiana Jones films), but even then almost everything about its portrayal of India is dated and outlandish: Serving live eels to human diners is a good way to get yourself charged with homicide, as raw eel blood is toxic to people. Pretty much all the banquet's "delicacies" are complete nonsense, and entirely made up by the screenwriters based on how gross Lucas and Spielberg found their suggestions. Indian cuisine is largely vegetarian, and non-vegetarian Hindus — like most non-vegetarian people full stop — would never consume live animals.note Brains are a large part of certain South-Asian cuisines, though it's usually the brains of cattle, sheep, or goats. Then again, the whole thing is actually a ploy intended to scare away Indy and the British officer without attracting attention.

Culture Chop Suey
 Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom / int_df60d405
comment
Culture Chop Suey: The historical Thuggee cult is rather lacking in actual documentary evidence, but the little that exist is drastically differentnote The Thuggee were largely highway robbers who attacked travelers and strangled them by using a handkerchief (a "rumal") and they did this in broad daylight on the road rather than an underground cavern over hot molten lava. The word "thug" is derived from their name. from what is seen in the film. It instead draws inspiration from Aztec, African and Carribean rituals, folklore and hearsay. Mola Ram's Human Sacrifice to "Kali" has more in common with Aztec rituals than anything in Indian myth and history. Mola Ram's outfit has more in common with stereotypical clothes worn by Shamanic priests from Africa and Latin American countries, most notable the shrunken head that he keeps hanging by his side. The Voodoo Doll used by the possessed Little Maharaja to attack Indiana Jones is actually from European witchcraft (although wrongly associated with The Theme Park Version of the Haitian Voudou religion). The Red Pentagram worn by Chattar Lal would make Aleister Crowley jealous. Likewise the film's depiction of India is a melange of different and highly divergent Indian traditions. Since the film was shot in Sri Lanka, some of the extras actually speak Sinhalese. Geographically, the plane that carried Indy, Short Round and Willie was marked to be flying on the Northern border and Indy dives down a snowscape implied to be the Himalayan range, but the village he arrives in is more central Indian than North Indian. Kali worship is associated with Bengal and definitely not considered any Satanic figure.

Oddball in the Series: In many ways. It's the only film where Indy isn't shown teaching at his university at any point (although it is mentioned), and it's the only one that uses the poster font in the opening credits. This is the only Indy film so far where the major villains were non-white. In past and future films, while some of the minor mooks may have been people of color, the major enemies have been either Nazis or evil Russians. It's also the only film in which Indy plays an active part in killing off the Big Bad at the end.

Platonic Declaration of Love: Short Round tearfully tells Indy that he loves him as he's preparing to burn him with a torch to undo the brainwashing. Given that he calls the older adventurer his best friend almost immediately after (and their relationship also resembles a father/son bond), it's clear he meant a non-sexual type of love.

Car Cushion: Slight subversion in the beginning. The car is their means of escape.

Artistic License – Physics
 Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom / int_fc225bec
comment
Artistic License – Physics: The Thuggee perform human sacrifice by plunging a cage with the victim inside into lava, which is then winched back to the surface, with the victim completely gone. This is unrealistic for a number of reasons. Lava isn't hot enough to reduce bones to ash, but would probably have melted the cage, or would definitely at least have softened it to the point where it would have lost its structure.

Wouldn't Hit a Girl: Mola Ram chose not to rip Willie's heart out. But he'd rather have it broken by Indy's supposed betrayal.

Brick Joke: Indy goes for his gun to deal with two sword-wielding guards, only to find it not in his holster because Willie lost it out the window all the way back in the Action Prologue.

comment
Mighty Whitey: Indiana Jones is anointed by the village head as a saviour sent by Shiva to rescue the villagers from the Thuggee. Indy also rescues a bunch of child slaves and liberates them. Likewise, the finale has the British officer leading a contingent of Indian Army troops to arrive as The Cavalry to repel the Thuggee.

Everything Trying to Kill You
 Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom / int_ffd816e7
comment
Everything Trying to Kill You: Nearly every scene in the film is totally tense and filled with peril. Plane crash lands in India, the jungle is filled with vampire bats, monkeys, snakes and elephants. Limited diet, monkey brains, snakes and eels are there for your liking. Then you have underground caverns filled with sulphur, hot lava, crazed cultists, narrow mine carts, a rickety wooden bridge over a river of crocodiles.
