Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
Who else wants to see the more family friendly yet equally more horrifying entry in the Indiana Jones series get riffed? It has tons of weird moments that are begging for it!
The main story picks up in the holy grail (pun intended) of stereotype Indian villages, whose occupants ask our three heroes (Indy, his Chinese kid Short Round, and the most annoying blond/love interest ever) to get their sacred arkenstone back. Also their kidnapped children. Indy decides he wants to help, Short Round just wants to follow and make his dad proud, and the blond doesn't even care until she hears about the diamonds in the stones.
It has tons of funny potential. Like a funny booby trap scene where people can die! The wacky food they eat in the palace! Ripping a guys still beating heart out of his chest and showing it to him before dropping him in hot lava! Do I even have to mention the child slavery mine which is a pretty clever analogy about child actors in any Steven Spielberg produced movie?
This is the ONE INDY MOVIE I wanted to see riffed when I signed up for Rifftrax and its high time for it to be riffed!

This movie makes Crystal Skull look good. Riff it!

It really deserves a riff. I don't think I can watch it again without a "Just the Jokes" riff! Heck, maybe make it a Kickstarter goal next year!

Arguably one of the weaker Indiana Jones movies (along with Kingdom of the Crystal Skull), this movie is long overdue for a RiffTrax "Just the Jokes" commentary! Heck, it's been 12 years since the guys riffed the fourth movie. Temple of Doom has a lot of reasons for being riff material, including...
1. Kate Capshaw's annoying character, Willie Scott
2. The dark atmosphere from the Thugee Cult (Heck, they possesed Indy and want to destroy every religon on the planet!)
3. We need more Indy movie riffs from Mike, Kevin and Bill!It's been a very long time since the guys riffed an Indiana Jones film, and with the Star Wars Skywalker Saga out of the way, maybe it's time to finish some unfinished business of more Lucas riffs!

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Crap! er... Doom. Whatever. This was the first crack in the facade of George Lucas and Steven Spielberg Can Do No Wrong (long before Crystal Skull, the prequels, and even Howard the Duck.) and it's long overdue to get the riff treatment.
PLEASE, for the love of Kali give me the ability to watch this movie and actually enjoy it!! -

It is the other worst movie in the franchise! It deserves to be riffed! Plus, we would like to see the entire Indiana Jones series riffed!

The "special" effects during the bridge climax never fail to plunge me into a perplexed ball of rage. In half the shots Indy and company appear to be 30 feet above a barely moist, rocky creek bed. In the other half of the shots the bridge is hundreds of feet above a wide, deep river filled with crocs. I guess the continuity editor was the raccoon from Buffalo Rider.
