Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom: Difference between revisions

 

* [[Actor Allusion]]: [[Harrison Ford|Indy]] [[A New Hope|chases after a small group of mooks, only to encounter a larger group of mooks and run away from them screaming.]]

* [[Aren't You Going to Ravish Me?]]: Willie during the entire scene where Indy bursts into her room to look for the secret entrance to Kali's temple. "I'm right ''here!''"

* [[Artistic License]]: No, Kali worship isn't really like that, nor are the Thuggees. These films are intentional mimicry of early century pulp fiction.

* [[City Mouse]]: Willie Scott.

* [[Conveyor Belt O' Doom]]: Indy fights a big Thugee on one that leads to a rock crusher.

* [[Creator Breakdown]]: The film was produced while Lucas was going through a divorce, as well as Steven Spielberg's then-current breakup with Amy Irving, hence the scene where a sacrificial victim gets his heart ripped out and set ablaze. Lucas has admitted that this may be why the film was made so much [[Darker and Edgier]] than its predecessor.

** They also admitted that they weren't in the best of moods during production.

* [[Slap Slap Kiss]]: Willie after being saved by the no-longer-evil Indiana.

* [[Slipping a Mickey]]: Indiana's drink is poisoned by Lao Che.

** The nightclub where the movie begins is named "Club [[Star Wars|Obi-Wan"]]. In that scene the origins of Indiana as a derivative [[James Bond]] are very explicit and homaged.

** 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]]. [http://www.theraider.net/information/influences/gunga_din.php Read]
