Indiana Jones and the Temple of D00M (1984)
#1
I thought I’d revisit this to see Ke Huy Quan’s debut again. 

I remember it being bad but wow, not that bad. It’s amazing that the franchise survived. 

I remember thinking Kate Capshaw was hawt. Sure, okay, I was a teenager obsessed with blondes at the time. Wow she is talentless except for getting Spielberg to marry her. 

I was dating an Indian gal after it came out and I remember that she was offended by the racist portrayal of Indians. I remember having some sympathy for that because the initial portrayal of Shanghai was cliche. After living in India for a month and a half, I get it. So misrepresented, so appropriated. 

I remember being annoyed because Short Round was a dumb name. It’s still a dumb name but Ke is quite precocious and is the best thing about this film. 

I remember Scapino doing an impression of Indy saying ‘we are going to die’ when he and Short are about to be crushed by the spiked room. I think he delivered the line better than Ford.

Not D00M recommended. D00M should be removed from the title.
