Last Crusade > all
My hot take is Temple of Doom is the worst of the Indy trilogy
For me Kingdom of the crystal skull was awesome but mutt swinging from branches annoyed me
My hot take is that it's the best of the indy films
Exactly. These movies were made for kids or to be enjoyed at the level a kid enjoys a film. I mean this in the best way and its the perfect pulp adventure film. This movie as a funny chinese kid, a boobs lady, monkey brains being eaten, and a beating heart ripped out of a chest. So fricking awesome. ToD is the favorite of anyone who watched these films as a child or with the heart of a child.
The journey to the palace and the mines set pieces are really cool but as a whole it’s weaker
>trilogy
It's an anthology, chud.

Neither is a hot take at all. This movie's as divisive as The Last Jedi, it's just nobody noticed cuz it released before the Internet. Everyone either dislikes it to some extent and thinks TLC is the best one or loves ToD while lambasting TLC for being a retread of Raiders with the humor dialed up to self-parody levels. I'm personally on team ToD.
yeah I know, the monkey brains scene was so insensitive!
You wouldn't get it.
and what happened to Short Round that he wasn't in the other ones.
Did Indy rape him to death?
They should have brought back adult Short Round in one of the future Indy films.
He probably would have been in 5 if it had gone into production after the hype around AEIEO.
from a quick google search:
>Not wishing to feature the Nazis as the villains again, executive producer and story writer George Lucas decided to regard this film as a prequel. Three plot devices were rejected before Lucas wrote a film treatment that resembled the final storyline.
Similar to my guess- that they didn't want to have to follow up on anything from the first movie (like Marion) so they decided to go backward. They wanted to keep each one its own little self contained thing.
>Marion
That doesn't make a lot of sense as an explanation when you consider she's not in the third one anyway.
Yeah I was just thinking about that. Is there even I line that explains her absence? I forget.
He didn't realise you could do a story in 1940-ish WITHOUT Nazis?
It wouldn't make sense for him indy to have some adventure with chinks and street shitters in the middle of the war.
I see what you mean, but the US was neutral until '41
As a kid you wouldn't even notice it's set before raiders though?
I did realise by studying the back of the video case. Not that I cared or understood why, I just knew it was my favourite one.
Why not? He's an archeologist, not a soldier. He only incidentally ended up fighting Nazis.
He enlisted in 1916
Raiders > Last Crusade > Crystal Skull > Temple
You're forgetting something, Chud.
Raiders>Crusade>Doom
These are the only Indiana Jones movies.
>forgetting crystal skull
Indy ends up with Marion at the end of Raiders and he was a more "mature" professor in that movie.
indiana jones was dealing with sleazy criminals and a bit more rough in Temple.
I never knew this was a prequel until, I just assumed Marion fricked off. I'm guessing there's some caption that tells you in what year they are, but I don't think I'd notice even if I watched them back to back.
*until recently
It being a prequel really doesn't matter at all.
I think they did it just so they wouldn't have to follow up anything from Raiders. Totally new cast aside from Indy.
To think the Temple of Doom writers (Gloria Katz and Willard Huyck) would later write Howard the Duck. Their career never recovered from that flop.
It was a daring vision, perhaps too daring.
>rated PG
>shows duck breasts + implied interspecies bestiality
How the hell did they get away with it in 1986?
>Never explain
>Never apologise
That's how.
>Messiah of Evil (1973)
>American Graffiti (1973)
>Lucky Lady (1975)
>Star Wars (1977/uncredited script doctors)
>French Postcards (1979)
>Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984)
>Best Defense (1984)
>Howard the Duck (1986)
Every movie written by the married couple Gloria Katz and Willard Huyck
Graffiti (1973)
George wrote this though. They just helped. It's basically George's childhood.
They still helped George with the script. Same goes for A New Hope.
Spielberg and friend John Millius in to script doctor Temple of Doom like he did with Jaws. Milius got paid but no credit.
>Willard Huyck
>Mallard Duck
What the frick was going on here?!?
>Messiah of Evil
kino
>Messiah of Evil
No that's the most disturbing film I've ever seen in decades,cute girl goes shopping at dead of night get's eaten alive by ghouls
girl wants to watch movie,goes alone at night get's literally ripped limb from limb & eaten by ghouls
final girl tries to escape by sea & doesn't get eaten instead BECOMING ONE OF THEM
It's a prequel because of Indy's character arc from a tomb raider only interested in fortune and glory to someone who respects the cultures whose artifacts he retrieves. The latter lines up with Raiders which is why this takes place before it.
It's a prequel?
ahead of it's time, now the entire world looks like this
