"The sustained furor of humor, visual panache and headlong momentum makes for dazzling cinema. All of which makes it possibly Spielberg's most underrated film." - Ian Nathan, EMPIRE MAGAZINE

In 1984, Steven Spielberg returned as director for this rip-roaring sequel to 1981's smash hit RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK, ensuring a long and healthy screen life for the Indiana Jones franchise, which continued in 2008 with THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL.
Here, dashing, whip-wielding archaeologist-adventurer Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) is joined by sassy chanteuse Willie (Kate Capshaw) and a 12-year-old sidekick named Short Round (Ke Huy Quan, later to achieve cult fame in The Goonies). Together they search for a mystical stone stolen from an Indian community and stumble upon a dangerous Thuggee cult. Exotic locales, wild chases, death-defying cliffhangers, last-minute rescues, screaming damsels, tribal sacrifices and one of the most disgusting meals in film history (monkey brains, anyone?) are the order of the day as the threesome attempt to acquire the stolen stone.
A few scenes originally planned for RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK showed up in INDIANA JONES AND THE TEMPLE OF DOOM--most notably the rollercoaster mine chase sequence, which was part of the 80 percent of TEMPLE OF DOOM shot on a soundstage. After the film's release, the MPAA rating board created a new rating--PG-13 -- partially in response (as many have speculated) to DOOM's surprisingly graphic violence.
