People talk a lot of shit about Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom—Willie Scott just screams, Short Round is annoying, it's racist as fuck, etc.—and yeah, all of that is true to varying degrees (the colonialist bullshit especially) but goddamn is it way more fun, exciting, and just plain weird than its boring Sunday afternoon sitcom follow-up Last Crusade. Of all the Indiana Jones films, this is the one that most closely resembles the pulp serials that served as Steven Spielberg and George Lucas' inspiration—for all the good and bad that entails. Revisit this mean-spirited Looney Tunes adventure and (snake) surprise yourself. by Bobby Roberts
