History Film / IndianaJonesAndTheTempleOfDoom

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

** The two thugs that work for Lao Che. Instead of simply shooting Indy while sleeping on the plane, they instead plot a collision course into a mountain and then parachute from the plane. This is even more stupid when you realise that they're just parachuted into the middle of the Himalayas! Where the hell were they planning on going after landing halfway up a mountain?!
