History Film / IndianaJonesAndTheTempleOfDoom

->'''Short Round:''' ''What is 'Sankara'?''
->'''Indy:''' ''Fortune and glory kid. Fortune AND GLORY.''

The film got heavy criticism for its violence, which wasn't bad for an R, but was considered too much for PG. Even StevenSpielberg admitted this. The film, and the first ''{{Gremlins}}'' film, are a large reason the PG-13 rating was created in the US.

* ReadyForLovemaking: PlayedForLaughs, where Indy and Willie have an argument over their Belligerent Sexual Tension. Each one is certain that the other is hot for them (and they're both right), but their egos won't allow either to "submit". Thus, they retire to their individual rooms and the audience is treated to a montage as they prepare themselves for a wild night of raunchy sex, only to (angrily) realize that neither one is biting. Then, the trope is played its straightest after Indy is almost assassinated in his room and barges into Willie's to check for another assassin, with Willie reclining on the bed, positively giddy to see a crazed Indy bursting her door down.

** Bizarrely, it's the one decent piece of Hinduism in the movie. Kali is Shiva's bride and both part of the same over-deity, anyway. Mola Ram is a blasphemer on a big-big scale against both.

!!Provides Examples Of:

* ThisIsSparta: "We. Are. ''Going! To!'' '''DIE!!'''"

* BusbyBerkeleyNumber: The gloriously over-the-top cover of "Anything Goes" that kicks off ''Temple of Doom''
* TheCameo: DanAykroyd appears in the beginning of ''Temple of Doom'' as Weber, as payback for [[StevenSpielberg Spielberg]]'s cameo in ''TheBluesBrothers''.

* TheCavalryArrivesLate: The British troops at the end of the second film.

* ConvectionSchmonvection: Zig-zagged in ''Temple of Doom''. It's averted when the first sacrificial victim bursts into flames well before plunging into the lava pit. Then it's played straight when Willie is in the exact same situation.
* CreatorBreakdown: "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" was produced while Lucas was going through a divorce, hence the scene where a sacrificial victim gets his heart ripped out and set ablaze. Lucas has admitted that this may be why the film was made so much DarkerAndEdgier than its predecessor.
* CrowdHockey: ''Temple of Doom'''s opening shootout at Club Obi Wan also has Willie chasing a diamond all over the place while fleeing customers kick it around, including into a [[NeedleInAStackOfNeedles spilled bucket of ice]].
* DarkerAndEdgier: ''Temple of Doom''.

* FakeShemp: Harrison Ford injured his back during filming of ''Temple of Doom'' and was out for several weeks. To continue production Spielberg used Ford's stuntman Vic Armstrong to perform the action sequences (even the simpler ones Ford could do) from behind and Harrison later filmed a few token close-ups.

* HandInTheHole: ''Temple of Doom''

* LethalLavaLand: The Temple of Doom.
* LetsGetDangerous: Towards the end of ''Temple Of Doom''.
* MacGuffinMelee: The lounge scene in Indiana Jones And The Temple Of Doom, where Jones, Willie Scott, and Lao Che's goons fight over a diamond [[spoiler:with the antidote to the poison Jones drank.]]
* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: Indiana thinks a wide string of coincidences brought him to the village in ''Temple of Doom''. The villagers think Shiva sent him.
* MoodDissonance: ''Temple of Doom'' has a scene where Indy and Short Round are trapped in a room with a DescendingCeiling and filled with spikes. In order to free them, Willie has to reach into a hole filled to the brim with bugs. Scary, but thanks to Indy and Willie both freaking out, it's also hilarious.
* NoodleIncident: In ''Temple Of Doom'' during dinner at Pankot Palace, the Prime Minister said something about Indy being threatened with the loss of his head by the Sultan of Madagascar.
-->'''Indy:''' ''It wasn't my head, it was [[GroinAttack my... my misunderstanding]]''.
* PapaWolf: Indy. ''They're innocent children... Mola Ram, prepare to meet Kali, '''IN HELL!!''' ''
