Binding: VHS Tape EAN: 9786300214439 Format: Closed-captioned, Color, NTSC ISBN: 6300214435 Label: Paramount Languages: Manufacturer: Paramount Number Of Items: 1 Publisher: Paramount Release Date: October 26, 1999 Running Time: 118 minutes Studio: Paramount Theatrical Release Date: May 23, 1984 Editorial Review: Amazon.com: The Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) adventure after Raiders of the Lost Ark is more violent than its predecessor, but also looser, more imaginative, and finally more satisfying. Still organized like a series of connected cliffhangers, the story (set 10 years before Raiders) involves Indy's attempted rescue of stolen children from a pagan cult. Director Steven Spielberg draws upon sundry cinematic influences, particularly Gunga Din, for an air of classic adventure, though one can also find traces of John Wayne movies in Jones's relationship with a woman (Kate Capshaw) who's come along for the bumpy ride. The film's opening bit, in which the antidote to a poison Jones has swallowed keeps bouncing around a nightclub just out of his reach, is a blast. --Tom Keogh Average Rating:
 Rating:  - A Tomb Raider Becomes A HeroI'm still surprised by the hate this film receives. Even by Director Spielberg himself. I've always considered Temple Of Doom the second best Indiana Jones film. In fact I've always felt the series always lost a little bit of steam with each film. But even with such an annoying character like Willie Scott (Played by Cate Kapshaw) I've always felt Temple Of Doom did a brilliant job showing Indiana Jones as a character turn from tomb raiding archaeologist, into the great hero we saw in Raiders Of The ... Read More Rating: - The Darkest Indiana Jones Adventure!!!I like that The Temple of Doom is dark, gloomy, depressing, and etc. Somehow, this takes place before the original. Indy, Willie, and Short Round must retrieve a sacred stone that's been stolen from a village, and must save the children that have been stolen. They deal with an evil cult and sacrifices people and make people drink black blood to become on of them! I also love the scene at Pankot Palace when everyone is eating Snake Surprise, Beetles, Eyeball Soup, and Chilled Monkey Brains! If you love ... Read More Rating: - Actually, I'd give ****1/2 stars. Great movie. I don't why but this is a prequel for some reason. It's not like Star Wars, It is not a series of prequels it's just a one movie deal. It takes place in 1935, one year before the first one took place. Well, I knew this wouldn't be as good as Raiders of the Lost Ark, but that's not to say that it's bad, it's amazing. I heard reviews saying it was racist but no, it's not. It is a good sequel or prequel, so see Raiders and see this any time soon. Rating:  - RacistI saw this when it came out (I was a young adult.) As someone from a hindu family (I am an atheist), I was revolted by the overt insulting nature of this film towards Indians and Hindus. In the first movie, they treated the whole story behind the arc with respect. Not so with Hinduism. Utter drivel. Rating: - Easily the worst of the series but quite good.A year before the events of "Raiders of The Lost Ark", Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) is in Shanghai enjoying an evening of entertainment and making a deal with a ruthless gang of Chinese mobsters for a ancient Chinese artifact. But after a bad deal, he escapes on a plane from Shanghai with spoiled nightclub singer Willie (Kate Chapshaw) and 11 year old Chinese boy ShortRound (Ke Hu Quan)as later they crash land in the Himalayas and find themselves stranded in the jungles. Only until they ... Read More |
