Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984)


Number two, in which Indy tries to recover magical stones in East India, is a big dopey comicbook adventure with poor gender and race politics but it remains my favourite, well, perhaps second favourite of the Indiana Jones movies on account of its big opening Shanghai dance number, its hilarious banquet scene, its comedy routine involving jungle animals, the lengthy carry-on involving Indy getting trapped with Shorty in a spikey booby trap, the minecart rollercoaster ride that I've dreamed of going on since I was a kid, and of course the climactic collapsing rope bridge.

★★★★☆
