Yeah, I caught him too, that was weird.

This was probably the 2nd time I'd seen Temple all the way through. It really is not a good movie. As we said many times last night, Short Round saves it.

To me, the difference is easily seen in a comparison between the bar scene in Raiders and the cabaret scene in Temple. That cabaret scene is so bloody cartoonish, with the "oh, I almost have the thing I need...damnit, someone kicked it!" gag over and over and over. Bleh.

I still had the same reaction to the 3rd one I've always had. Don't like the bookends but otherwise enjoy the movie. The suckage at the end has been discussed, but I may be the only one who despises the River Phoenix flashback. I hate those kinds of hokey origin scenes where everything is explained by a single event (whip, scar, snakes, hat, lame). You start to expect young Indy to fall into an icy cold river and be forced to skin a cow, tan its hide, and make a jacket to survive.
