Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984): 8/10
…with amazing practical effects…
Not very many… 😄
Did you fast-forward through the mine-cart chase, the raft in the water, the car chase, the bug scene, the sacrificial tearing out of the heart, the rock crusher fight, most of the bridge scene etc. etc. and then only watch the part where the water shot out of the side of the mountain and Short Round’s feet dangled from the bridge?
Yeah, I generally don’t give that film the credit it’s due. It just always annoys me how almost all of the blue screen/matte effects range from wonky to terrible, and a lot of the locations are obvious set pieces. There were definitely quite a few great effects throughout the film.
