    Before Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull came out Temple of Doom was the whipping boy in the series.

      Huh I’ve never heard that in my own experience. I’m middle aged, saw it in theaters. In fact I think it was probably the most referenced of the franchise in my world besides the scene with the opening of the Ark.

      I remember being terrified as a kid with the heart stuff.

        That heart scene scared grade school aged me as well.

        It was after The Last Crusade had been out for a while and was pretty much universally liked. Thats when the people started talking bad about Temple of Dooms goofy scenes and cheesy special effects.
