136 Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984)
- Begins with a shot of a mountain on a gong which is reminiscent of the
Paramount Pictures logo. See also ("Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)" (qv),
and "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989)" (qv))
- Short Round was named after screenwriter 'Willard Huyck' (qv)'s dog, which
was named after the orphan in "The Steel Helmet (1951)" (qv).
- The club at the beginning is called ``Club Obi Wan'', a reference to a
"Star Wars (1977)" (qv) character.
- Shots of mining-car roller-coaster ride done with models and a 35mm camera
modified to hold extra film.
- Rehash of the ``shooting the swordsman'' joke from
"Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)" (qv).
- Suspension bridge only shown from one side, to avoid showing the Grand Coulee
Dam.
- While filming the whipping scene, the crew played a practical joke on
'Harrison Ford' (qv). Chained to a large stone, 'Barbara Streisand' (qv)
appeared, dressed in a leather dominatrix outfit. She proceeded to whip
him, saying ``That's for "Hanover Street (19??)" (qv), the worst movie
I ever saw.'' She continued whipping him for "Star Wars (1977)" (qv), and
making all of that money. 'Carrie Fisher' (qv) then threw herself in front
of Ford to protect him, and 'Irvin Kershner' (qv) chided director
'Steven Spielberg' (qv). ``Is this how you run your movies?'' This entire
sequence was filmed.

- CAMEO(Frank Marshall): a tourist in the background in the
airport scene at the beginning.

at the beginning.
