10 Harsh Realities Of Rewatching Indiana Jones & The Temple Of Doom, 39 Years Later

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom is a contentious film, aging perhaps the worst out of the original trilogy and the extended catalog. The second installment in the Indiana Jones movie franchise, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, was actually a prequel to the first film. Harrison Ford’s charisma was always given plenty of scenery to chew in the pulp action series, but Temple of Doom provided a particularly dazzling backdrop to his adventures with the enigmatic Thugee cult in India. Much about the film doesn’t work, either in retrospect or even when it was released.
