Classic Friday : Indiana Jones And The Temple Of Doom (1984) 8/10

Starring : Harrison Ford, Kate Capshaw, Ke Huy Quan, Amrish Puri
Director : Steven Spielberg
Running Time : 113 mins

Indiana Jones (Ford) finds himself in India with a lounge singer named Willie (Capshaw) and a little boy who calls himself Short Round (Quan). The village they arrive in has been plagued with disaster as all the children have been kidnapped and taken to work in a mysterious temple, under the control of the maniacal madman Mola Ram (Puri).

This lacks the Nazi intrigue of Raiders Of The Lost Ark, and seems to be more aimed at children than adults. Still, it’s a fun packed rollercoaster of a movie, which in many ways paved the way for other classics such as the Goonies with it’s natural feel of being on a ride rather than watching a film.
