DVD Description

The second of the George Lucas/Steven Spielberg Indiana Jones epics is set a year or so before the events in Raiders of the Lost Ark (1984). After a brief brouhaha involving a precious vial and a wild ride down a raging Himalyan river, Indy (Harrison Ford) gets down to the problem at hand: retrieving a precious gem and several kidnapped young boys on behalf of a remote East Indian village. His companions this time around include a dim-bulbed, easily frightened nightclub chanteuse (Kate Capshaw), and a feisty 12-year-old kid named Short Round (Quan Ke Huy). Throughout, the plot takes second place to the thrills, which include a harrowing rollercoaster ride in an abandoned mineshaft and Indy's rescue of the heroine from a ritual sacrifice. There are also a couple of cute references to Raiders of the Lost Ark, notably a funny variation of Indy's shooting of the Sherpa warrior.

Special Features:

  • Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom: An Introduction by Steven Spielberg & George Lucas
  • Creepy Crawlies: Steven Spielberg, George Lucas and Frank Marshall reminisce about snakes, bugs and rats.
  • Locations: Travel across the world to discover where the films take place and where they were shot.
  • Storyboard Sequence — The Mine Cart Chase
  • Galleries: Illustrations & Props; Production Photographs & Portraits; Effects/ILM; Marketing

    Synopsis
    Filmmaker Steven Spielberg returns as director for this rip-roaring prequel to 1981's smash hit RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK. Here dashing, whip-wielding archaeologist-adventurer Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) is joined by comely chanteuse Willie (Kate Capshaw) and a 12-year-old sidekick named Short Round (Ke Huy Quan). 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 cliff-hangers, last-minute rescues, screaming damsels, and tribal sacrifices 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 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's Classification & Ratings Board created a new rating--PG-13. Spielberg cast actress Kate Capshaw, who would later become his real-life wife, for the film.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Paramount Pictures... , 15 May 2008
    By S. Hurford "WorkingClassHero" (The Shire) - See all my reviews
    (REAL NAME)   
    ...must be having a laugh! The runtime on the actual case of this release lists this film at 114 minutes, the 2003 case lists it at 112 minutes. Closer inspection of the films themselves by placing the discs in the player show they run for EXACTLY the same amount of time. If you are looking for the uncut version of this film, DO NOT be fooled by the listed run time of this DVD. It does NOT clock in at 118 mins.
    This film was originally attacked by the BBFC waaaaaay back in 1984 and trimmed by 66 secs for excessive violence.
    As it is now 24 years down the line one would assume this film would get a 12 certificate. After all, that's why the Motion Picture Association of America created the PG-13 rating in the wake of Temple, as barely got it's PG cert over there. In the US, the film is uncut and STILL rated PG. Whatever has happened we consumers have been left high and dry again!
    It appears either Paramount have made a mistake, or are trying to pull a fast one and get completists like myself to purchase this film in GOOD faith based on the extended run time. I for one am very disappointed and intend to take this as far as I can to get some answers from Paramount Home Entertainment UK Ltd.

    That said, despite the missing bits, it's still a massively enjoyable romp. Not the best of the three, but still quality entertainment and perfect for watching while having a few beers with the lads.

    (REAL NAME)   
    A prequel to the other Indiana jones films set in 1935 sees Indy battle an evil Cult who have kidnaped children from a village. Kate Capshae is also an unwilling accomplice to Indy but his pint sized sidekick short round is invauble.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A golden oldie, 8 Feb 2009
    By R. May (the Netherlands) - See all my reviews
    Even after all these years it still is a fun film to watch. Nothing out of date re special effects or interaction/humour between the leading actors. Enjoy!
