Product Description
From Amazon.com
The Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) adventure after Raiders of the Lost Ark is more violent than its predecessor, but also looser, more imaginative, and finally more satisfying. Still organized like a series of connected cliffhangers, the story (set 10 years before Raiders) involves Indy's attempted rescue of stolen children from a pagan cult. Director Steven Spielberg draws upon sundry cinematic influences, particularly Gunga Din, for an air of classic adventure, though one can also find traces of John Wayne movies in Jones's relationship with a woman (Kate Capshaw) who's come along for the bumpy ride. The film's opening bit, in which the antidote to a poison Jones has swallowed keeps bouncing around a nightclub just out of his reach, is a blast. --Tom Keogh
Additional Features
This three-piece video package contains the entire Indiana Jones trilogy: Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. An excellent choice for the new fan.

The Adventires of Indiana Jones.,
By
This review is from: The Adventures of Indiana Jones (Raiders of the Lost Ark / The Temple of Doom / The Last Crusade) (Full Screen) (DVD)
This set of movies were given as a gift at Christmas and after christmas, I learned the movies were scratched and not able to be seen without skipping. I was very diddappointed and hope the next set I get will be in better shape since their are no more sets available.Also a complete set of thwe Mummy set. The set of the Mummy were fine but the other set has not arrived as of yet.I had dissappointed me to no end to have this happen. I try to buy new when getting DVD's to get away from this problem. Is there no way of previewing them before you send them out. This kind of leaves a bad tastes in your mouth when this happens and the dvd costs so much for the sets.

Too spooky for my taste,
By
This review is from: Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (VHS Tape)
The "now standard Indiana" formula is there and there are a lot of fun parts to this movie. However the bad guys are too bad and the situation is too spooky. Be sure to watch "Riders of the Lost Ark" first even thought this takes place chronologically earlier.Once again James Bond has nothing on Dr. Jones (Harrison Ford) as he negotiates for a treasure and is double crossed at every turn, barely escaping with his life, also the acquisition of a steriotipical blond singer Wilhelmina Scott (Kate Capshaw), and his new sidekick Short Round (Jonathan Ke Quan). In his hasty retreat he does not realize that there are greater forces at work insuring that he fulfill his destiny to recover a sacred object and all the children of a beleaguered village. Is he up to the challenge? In this case does being blond help or hinder? Will Short Shot prove that size does not matter? Take heart! Be prepared for a dark passage "a little too dark for my taste".

To me, this is the best of the series,
By KittyK "AsISeeIt" (Studio City, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (VHS Tape)
The opening is my favorite in all movies. My next favorite is the opening for Men In Black. I became a fan of Kate Capshaw when I saw her in this movie. She shows three times the personality of the female leads in Raiders of the Lost Arch and The Last Crusade. She made the movie a standout to me. I enjoy Short Round too. I believe that there is plenty of character development in this movie, and character development in a movie is extremely to me. I honestly don't understand some other reviewer's complaints.
