INDIANA JONES AND THE TEMPLE OF DOOM

(US, PG, 1984, 118 min)

9:30 p.m.

The darkest and most-violent of all the Indiana Jones films! Blood sacrifices! Beating hearts! Child slavery! This is the one that caused such a stir with parents (along with Gremlins) that the MPAA created the PG-13 rating. It's true that this film gets gory and violent (you get to see a man gets crushed to death under a huge stone crusher) but Raiders of the Lost Ark had people's faces and skulls melting away, not to mention big Germans getting shredded up courtesy of aeroplane propellers. By contrast, Doom, has an even darker and more sinister edge to it. Indiana Jones goes on the hunt for a sacred stone which was stolen from an Indian village. His search leads him to discover an underground Thuggee cult, which has stolen the stone and forced the children of the village in slave labor. It's up to Dr. Jones to retrieve the stone and free the children.
