CLASSIC INDY: CATACOMB CONFLICT!


Deep in the catacombs beneath Pankot Palace, a bruised and battered Indy, despite being affected by a spell of almost crippling sympathetic magic, fights on against one of the Thuggee slave masters (Pat Roach) in this classic and inventively staged action moment from INDIANA JONES AND THE TEMPLE OF DOOM.

It's not generally so well loved by Spielberg, and its definitely scary and frightening in places, but I think TEMPLE remains a terrific movie, as well as a worthy and equally fast paced sequel to RAIDERS. Check out this great recent article on its behind the scenes making, and the deep, dark time that both Spielberg and Lucas were going through in their personal lives as they were making it, here: Explaining 'Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom' - Grantland With thanks to THERAIDER.NET for the heads-up.

INDIANA JONES: coming soon to Blu-ray!
