8. Oddly enough, there's a bit of precedent to the "hiding in a lead lined fridge while the bombs are dropping" idea.

   A movie called "Ladybug Ladybug" from 1963 shows a little girl do the same thing. Granted, you don't know if she survived or not still…if I had a nickel….lol.

17. I always thought the temple of doom dinner scene was supposed to be a contrast to the villagers from earlier in the movie. The excess of the palace and their hostility contrasts how the villagers are kind and despite having no food choose to feed Indy and Short Round. The palace is evil hand having a curse is why they are eating snakes and insects while the food given by the villagers was vegetables more in line with typical Indian food.

    There is a deleted scene in the script where Indy is suspicious after dinner scene saying to Short Round something like Hindus consider life sacred and makes you wonder what’s really going on here.

18. Regarding Temple of Doom’s racism controversy: I don’t recall if it was stated in the final cut of the film, but the banquet was actually what tipped Indy off to something being wrong in Pankot, because the food was all things that no Hindu would willingly eat. I could’ve l sworn there was a deleted scene where Indy explicitly states that, but I can’t find it anywhere. However, it is canon, and is at least stated in The Ultimate Guide.

    There’s no defending the Thuggee brownface, though. Not sure whether that’s as bad as or worse than Indy’s… uh, “past” with Marion (seriously, what the HELL were they thinking?)

24. Hopefully iceberg videos will never die. I know the trend is over four years old, but a good iceberg chart video is really enjoyable, as well as informative and often quite eerie.

30. Kingdom of the Crystal Skull over Dial of Destiny is crazy

31. A fun little iceberg entry regarding the music: there’s evidence that John Williams wrote a concert version of the new Naz— err, Axis Powers themes in Dial of Destiny and then largely scrapped it.

    The only evidence is that there are two spots of the soundtrack where pieces of it were edited in. The brass fanfare at the start of the Axis Power themes in the end credits (Prologue on the OST) appears to be the opening, while the final 30 seconds or so of “Voller’s Return” is the closing. The rest of the piece is unheard.

    We know this because of the public cue sheet database for the movie listing a unique cue titled “N*zis” in those spots and only those spots. There’s a forum post that goes into more detail about it, but that’s the gist of it.

32. I heard online that the fridge scene was actually taken from early drafts of back to the future, and Steven Spielberg just had it in the back of his mind without anything to use it on for so long so he decided to throw it into Indiana Jones when the opportunity presented itself.

33. I have to assume that Indy being a part of the Society of Explorers and Adventures mythology is in a different iceberg or more obscure than I thought 😂 a parks iceberg would be great if that isn’t covered yet

36. that Temple Of Doom prank made me just recoil at every single revelation, holy hell

    Reply

37. Temple of Doom is hard to talk about because it's definitely racist, whether it was a 'product of its time' or the film is just being misinterpreted, doesn't really change that fact. If people have to DEBATE whether or not something is racist, it probably is. However, I also still believe it to be a good film weirdly enough. I dunno what that says about me, but so be it.
