Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984)

Wikipedia

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom is a 1984 American action-adventure film directed by Steven Spielberg. It is the second installment in the Indiana Jones franchise and a prequel to the 1981 film Raiders of the Lost Ark, featuring Harrison Ford reprising his role as the title character. After arriving in India, Indiana Jones is asked by desperate villagers to find a mystical stone and rescue their children from a Thuggee cult practicing child slavery, black magic and ritualistic human sacrifice in honor of the goddess Kali.

At this point, what I don’t understand is why this film wasn’t made first… it’s the first in the series, right?

Anyway, the Temple of Doom gets a bit into Indian mythology, which I wholeheartedly support. I love mythology, doesn’t matter which one, I love the stories. I will also say that India mythology is one that I know very little about, so I can’t say if the stories of the Gods involved is made up (ha ha) or based on the stories.

Digressing from there, I love all the secret passages, the brain-washing, and the triumphant return! Also, the elephant. Love that elephant.

My Rating: ★★★★
