In Willie’s defense I would be screaming half the time also in these situations
All of us would, very few of us are hard as* like Indiana Jones. Lol.
I like these reactors, in fact she is one of My Favourite reactors on here. But if I am being 100% completely honest... in this one I found them as annoying as they thought Willie was. These two couldn't make it through the dinner scene without freaking out. They think they would do better than Willie in the rest of the movie?? The Script had Willie screaming a lot, granted. But these two would probably be screaming just as much if not more.
yes she absolutely is an analogue for how civilized people would freak out. Its even worse today, everyone always whines and cries victimhood. i go on Twitter or reddit and its all complaining and pearl clutching.
She is NOT annoying. She's reacting like 99% of us would in this situation !!
😂 Yeah. She didn’t do a goddamn thing. Except...
Saved Indy's ass in the spike room.
Gets a triple kill in the mine car chase.
Helps free kids.
Saves Short Round on bridge.
Helps knock Mola Ram down.
Gives Jones a weapon to fight Giant Thuggee.
Throws rocks at Giant Thuggee.
Only gets kidnapped once, compared to 3 times with Marion.
Yeah. Did NOTHING. 😂 These two want a Gary Stu (like John Wick) or Mary Sue (like Anna in the 2019 film of the same name) who have no personality and never make mistakes. Willie isn’t Jones or Shorty, but she has way more charisma than Elsa and Spalko in the next two films.
Hell yeah, say it loud for the people in the back.
Damn, this needs to be top comment
You are full of delusions, Marion killed Nazi's and saved Indiana Jones's life countless times in raiders of the Lost, Indiana Jones got captured in every movie, and Willie got captured and was totally useless, how many people did Willie kill to save anyone oh none, she couldn't even save herself, Marion saved herself nobody saved her. What is your problem with talking lies about Marion to elevate of all people useless Willie, pretty pathetic, an Indiana Jones was useless he wasn't even important to raiders of the Lost ark plot, it's amazing how Indiana Jones keeps getting captured and yet you talk about Marion getting captured even though every character gets captured in every Indiana Jones movie especially Indiana Jones, seriously you are delusional idiot, that hates the fact that Marion was a strong character to be distorted and lying about her so much.
Nailed it! lol
So, what do you think about Willie Scott?
They made Willie Scott the way they made her so she would contrast Marion from Raiders of the lost Ark. Also, because the movie so dark, they needed someone you can laugh at. Not laugh with, laugh at. You laugh with short round.
I don't think you're right AT ALL. I think a bunch of writers made a bad choice that they thought was funny but really isn't.
He is right
@@smiffy68 Even if you don't find willy that funny doesn't mean that everybody find her unfunny
I have never understood the Willie hate. He literally dragged her into this. She's a fish on land, want do you want out of her?
I agree. She's a fish out of water. She's probably been pampered her entire life. That's the whole point of her character.
Dude, she's hilarious, the levity of the film. I think Willie is the best comedic sidekick in this type of movie. I never found her interesting as a love interest for Indie, though.
I always go straight to the comments when I get a vibe that there will be Willie hate by the reactors & low in behold "spoil alert" I wasn't wrong.
I guess these reactors think they can do a better job. 😂
I think if this is the first time for you to watching this you’d probably react this way about Willie or they obviously haven’t understood what her character was about…
The Willie hate is entirely unwarranted. What is she supposed to do? She's out of her element. That's the whole point. Shorty is more competent than her because he's been around Indy.
I 100% agree. Yeah, they didn't want a Marion clone in this. So go blonde instead of brown hair, an indoor girl vs. a tough as nails woman... and yes, she's a fish out of water tagging along on one of Indy's adventures and it leads to a lot of physical comedy. Plus, Willie does have character growth and punches out a Thuggee all on her own too! I always appreciated her for what she is, a fun character.
100% agree
It's the screaming and whining. You can be out of your element without blowing out an eardrum a minute and being obnoxious as hell.
@@Jigsaw407 it’s a homage to the damsel in distress. Just like the films are homages to Saturday morning serials.
@@sitebstudios I'm fully aware. But knowing why she is annoying doesn't make her any less annoying.
I loved it when she was doing the punching when Indiana was doing it was showing she was supporting him cheering him on
Omg the Willie hate is RIDICULOUS to me. She’s literally a fish out of water Marion was an archaeologist so she’s used to fighting and being in danger. Willie is a lounge singer. Also are we going to forget that Willie didn’t ask to come with Indiana he basically kidnapped her after he physically THREATENED her at the table.
It's not just the fact that Willie really didn't have any choice in the adventure that absolves her of any hate - Willie was supposed to be an intentional subversion of the 'perfect action movie damsel' stereotype. Everything about her is the opposite of traditionally strong female stars - she's not on board with the hero's plans; she's not a particularly lovable character; basically, the only redeeming thing about her is her looks which was pretty much a necessity as they couldn't exactly cast an ugly woman in a Spielberg movie.
Essentially, Spielberg was saying: "This is what would happen if an ACTUAL random onlooker got drawn into one of Indy's adventures - they wouldn't just be unhelpful, they'd actually make it way more difficult for Indy to survive."
@@CopiousDoinksLLCI doubt that a random onlooker would be as stupid and in-the-way as she was. She practically made everything harder on purpose. There is a line between the typical action love interest, and a 30 year old
Woman with the self awareness and emotional intelligence of a 4 year old.
I feel like I always have to defend Willie every time someone reacts to Temple of doom(which is my favorite Indy) but you guys were really ruthless. You can’t blame the actress for the character. Willie also was written by a bunch of men, so there wan’t a whole lot of actual female perspective on what a “city girl out of water” would act like(most likely she was the persona of every high maintenance girl they’ve ever met in my opinion). They probably kept telling her to ham it up so it would be funnier(to men). Plus, there’s a lot of horror elements to this movie and she’s definitely a talented top scream queen.
And I agree with another comment, that to help with the dark elements of the film, the writers wanted to have two featured comic characters to lighten it up. Shorty provides the adventurer sidekick role, and Willie is the token female for Indy to smooze, but I also like to believe that she’s supposed to represent the audience perspective. I’m pretty sure none of the UA-camr reactors bashing her could ever survive what she went through.
Also, if you remember correctly, Marion didn’t do much to help Indy either except be sassy, she literally thought his whip was a snake, and tried to burn him. All she really did was talk tough. She just happened to be more used to the archaeological lifestyle because of her father. and chose to go do something dangerous with Indy and he already had a history with him so knew on some level what yo expect. Willie has literally never done any of this before, met Indiana Jones once, and I was dragged along without a choice. She has never fight, been around bugs/wild animals, and definitely had an incredibly traumatic experience in the fire pit.
I’m not gonna spoil anything about the female lead in the third installment, but trust me, all the women in these movies are written caricatures and the actors playing them did the best that they could. Also, you need to remember that this is supposed to take place in the 1930s. It’s very where the any women at all could would be experienced or know what to do in this kind of adventure at that time.
I never could understand any hate towards actresses/actors about their performances when that's what's given to them in the script and actually directed to have that performance. Seems like Spielberg or Lucas has said that she was written that way because of the messiness of the his/their personal lives at the time.😢
I think it's supposed to be a satire of the (literal) scream queens of the 30s like Fay Wray. But it falls terribly, awfully, painfully flat. It missed in 1984, and it has grown more painful over the years.
@@smiffy68 I agree but I know I’d be screaming my head off myself if I was in any of those situations Willie gets dragged into 😅
@@hillarymead Trust me.... I Get It... From being a performer 1 min. to literally being dragged into a situation as quickly as it happened, into an unknown, unfamiliar land/country is scary as hell but if it was an IRL situation instead of a scripted movie would you want to be surrounded by an entire brainwashed cult out to kill you & everyone with you while, at the same time, have just one person in your party that can't do something as.... (uugh, as much as I hate to say it)... "simple" as being quiet so they AND the rest of the entire party isn't killed?
@@hillarymead Marion didn't do much yeah right ok haha 😂 sure Marion just shot and killed Nazi's and saved Indiana Jones life countless times in the movie, Marion saving the hero Indiana Jones's life is what you consider doing you nothing really you sound like such an idiot that didn't even watch raiders of the Lost ark, and I'm sure you didn't. The fact that Marion is a badass and saved Indiana Jones's life, Marion is the only one that ever killed to save Indiana Jones's life, that's why Marion had a higher body count than Indiana Jones yeah that's just reality and facts of the movie. I mean what do you consider doing anything, in that case Indiana Jones didn't do nothing he wasn't even important to the plot, that's what you called doing nothing and being useless
17:02 Kate Capshaw was really screaming hardly in true disgust,she really had nearly forty big bugs and two huge centipedes among her clothes and skin,as it came out just after this scene filming was over.
You guys cringed about her waaaaaay too much: you cringed so much that you made us cringe about you: you just needed to take that easy and lightly, chill.
For real, they were more annoying than Willie lol
Kate Capshaw as Willie was great in this she was funny with her reactions and being scared, especially with all those bugs. Great Indiana Jones movie the music is always a hit.😊
Kate Capshaw is not the problem, the fact that she was designed to be the anti-Marion is the problem.
Her character was just right for the overall one of this adventure.
i remember reacting this way to willy when i was a kid watching this, but on subsequent watchings, i just chalked her performance up to being the comic relief
Thats why shes a great character, Marion sucked.
Of course she wasn't. These two are just whiny idiots.
I beg to differ. Kate was the problem. I don't mind the idea of the prissy, stuck-up city girl who screams at everything while thrown into this adventure... it's her portrayal that is annoying. In the hands of a better actress, Willie wouldn't be the "anchor" that drags this film down.
Willie is a great character. She is certainly less annoying than how annoying your constants complaints about her were.
We will agree to disagree
💯
I agree
While Willie can be annoying, your reaction is a bit over-the-top, and seemed to detract from you enjoying the rest of the film for what it was. Most people don't seem to hate her as much as you two did.
It was quite ridiculous and a tad annoying to be honest
💯
For sure... it wound up being that EVERYTHING she did was BAD to them. It was painful to watch them watch the movie. They couldn't enjoy any of the comedy of her character... too bad. 🤷♂️
I agree....it's almost like you're waiting for her to show up or say something to force the discontent towards her
Regarding the raft escape from the plane: Mythbusters did an episode and ruled that the stunt was survivable, and therefore plausible.
In addition to being the anti-Marion, Willie is also meant to be the classic buffoon character in the adventure movie, a role usually played by men--think John Hannah in the Mummy, any character played by Steve Zahn or Jack Black. These characters are comically inept, but I don't think this generation can even picture a woman in the fool archetype.
i love this episode but i really like the work of the actress because the character is not an adventurer just a luxury showgirl put in indiana jones world and she s really do it well...
Yeah l agree with someone's comment indy did drag her there she had no choice and it is her first time in that situation and is anybody else calm at creepy crawlies in dishes and creepy crawlies inside walls and people getting there heart ripped
Temple of Doom is a classic!!!
Okay, I'm going to defend Willie here. First, she was meant to be the opposite of Marion. Marion was basically a female Indiana Jones. (but rewatch Raiders. She was just as useless, just without the screaming) Second, she's a city girl thrust into a series of situations that are waaaay out of her comfort zone. Most of us would just like her if put into those situations. Every woman I know (and most of the men) would have let Indy and Shorty die in that spike chamber, screaming all the way back to their room. And who wouldn't freak out at that banquet, or when grabbing a gigantic bat, or watching some guy get his heart ripped out. And a lot of men would rather be with a Willie over a Marion. We do tend to like our women to be more girlie. There. I've said my peace. Feel free to rip me a new one.
And most of guys are more of a Willy than a Marion themselves ^^
@@marievjing Exactly. People like to tough talk, but truth be told, 99% of us would be screaming and crapping out pants witnessing just half of what Willie witnessed. She is the most realistic character in the whole series.
@@wampa25 Definetly. And I've got the same issue with folks always critizing people taking "dumb decisions" during horror movies.
These people obviously never had a traumatic experience because you would normally know that when you are in panic, you are not acting straightly.
Even with a simple mugging on the streets, people don't even know how to react or just don't react at all, if either that happens to them or not
Said your piece....
Exactly, Marion actually causes trouble a lot more than Willy. At least Willy were funny enough, Marion wasn't even funny. She's useless and not funny. Lol. Plus you were right, willy would react just like 99% of all women would react. Not all women are tomboy like Marion.
You were TOTALLY criticizing Kate Capshaw. Multiple times you criticized her line delivery which is criticizing the actress and not the character. I feel like these 2 read up a little on the movie before watching it and saw that there was a group of people that don't care for Willie Scott so both decided to really ham it up for the reaction. If you can't understand why Willie was played the way she was that's one thing, but to constantly dog on her and then say you weren't is disingenuous. She was introduced as an obviously spoiled person who is used to nothing but the finest things in life and is suddenly thrust into a nightmare world of murder, mayhem, human sacrifice, child slav@ry, and confronted with the fact that the supernatural does exist. She is constantly terrified with good reason and this makes her the comic relief of the film. Indy and Short Round are both calm and collected in the face of danger and even near death while Willie is crazed out of her mind. Short Round has many funny lines, but he is NOT the comic relief. You laugh *_with_* Short Round, but you laugh *_at_* Willie Scott.
You guys are way too harsh with Willy, you are NOT supposed to take her seriously. Her character was deliberitly written to be the TOTAL OPPOSITE of Marion as a JOKE.
And Kate Capshaw has a real comedy talents (example when she fell out of the bed).
And I'm supposed you are not familiar with james bond because it's taking the same formula has him in terms of women character. The trope is that james bond or indinana jones have a different lady sidekick in each movies and are all differents. And yes, some of them can be more uselless than previous ones and even when the love interest doesn't have any chemistry, it doesn't matter, it's not point : James got the girl at the end and same with indy.
So sorry for my bad english ;)
Spielberg said he regretted the way this movie went. He was in a bad place while going through a divorce. He actually left his wife for Kate Capshaw, AKA "Willie"
I personally loved it. C'mon, what little boy didn't think it was cool with them eating monkey brains? Lol.
The Willie hate was a bit annoying though. She is a pampered woman that loves diamonds, not an adventurer. I thought her reactions through all this would have been pretty normal.
Ok be honest, put yourself in the dark, in the bug cave, covered with hundreds of little nastys. How long would you last before you were screaming for Indie. I saw this movie in a packed theater and half of the audience were as freaked as Willie.
The irony of Steph calling another woman annoying 😅
By the way, trivia fact: Indiana, Short Round, and Willie are actually named after the filmmakers pets.
The most telling thing about Willie’s contribution to the story. When they were making the LEGO adaptation for the games. Willie’s power was to scream and break glass.
I still remember that shit
I'm tired of the Willie slander. Speaking personally, she's super funny. Her dynamic with Indy is right out of a 1940s screwball comedy. She's the total opposite of Marion, and that's okay.
She also does get a small arc of sorts. We see how useless she is at the beginning of the film, but over time she gets a little more courageous and involved. She helps to free the captured children, at least tries to help Indy during his brawl with the big guy, protects Short Round a few times (look when Mola Ram corners them on the bridge, she forces him behind her) and punches out the bad guy on the minecart.
Hell, she goes from insulting the villagers by not wanting to eat their food and complaining about their accommodations to respectfully giving their greeting gesture when she returns to their village at the end.
GEEZUS. How do you expect a woman like Willie to react to all the creatures and madness she was thrust into?
With just a tad less screaming? I mean, not even for the sake of "realism" just for the audience's ears and tolerance.
It's a terrible choice to write the character that way
@@smiffy68 the character was written well. A pampered singer completely out of her element in comfort zone, . However it was up to Spielberg and Lucas to have her scream as much as she did, and it was a bit much, but I didn’t mind the character at all.
The only thing more annoying than Willie Scott is watching these two grimace every time she did...ANYTHING. This includes the moment at 34:35 when KC's performance is being made fun of before they later stressed the problem "wasn't about her acting."
My head canon was always that Indy took Short Round back to the US and made sure he received a formal education as Indy is, after all, a university professor. We know the army intelligence people came to see Marcus and Indy during term-time as Indy was teaching beforehand, so Short Round was most likely in school.
This was my first Indiana johns movie when i was a kid, so this shaped the image of the series for me. I kinda feel this movie was most mystical, exotic, and adventures for me. Till i became adult and rewatched the female main character wasn’t even in my memory lol. But even recently i rewatched she was bit annoying, but wasn’t distracting like for you guys to me. I don’t know why but how she reacted made sense for me. I don’t know maybe i am just misogynistic sexist. Lol
I think i never saw stethsabraw so annoyed and disinterested in a movie lol
I can confirm Steph and I both loved the film! We just couldn’t stand the way Willie was written. Our only gripe with the film
Willie was just as well received as a character. The audience found her truly funny when it came out, and I don’t recall any negative comments back then. She was supposed to be annoying. Look at Indy’s reaction. His facial expressions are priceless. Even he is annoyed. I can’t believe you didn’t see that. Even you said he should be annoyed. He was the whole time. It’s the whole point of their chemistry. Complete opposites, but they are attracted to one another despite this. Over the years she has gotten negative attention for truly no reason. I can tell you my mother would’ve reacted the exact same way in all of those situations. Well, except the gold digging part.😂
People today are soft, they complain about everything and they get anxiety over the first feel of struggle. Thats why so many people are on antidepressants and most of them dont need it.
The portrait of Indian culture and food I can't say it's the best movies of him at all 😶and the kalli goddess she is our devotee we love her and respect her she is not evil or demonic entity she killed demons without mercy ❤
Can't speak about Kali as I don't know much about her, but I've heard the food part was just a way for Mola Ram to scare Indiana off. I believe there was even a deleted scene of Indy mentioning it. Could be wrong here though, correct me if I am.
Thugees were a death cult.
@@sirunclejim7217 You are right, Indy gave a line that Hindu wouldn't touch meat or kill animals, that he wonders what these people are. There is an amazing documentary online on youtube with all interesting tidbits of all four movies (three if you're a purist). It's called Indiana Jones, the making of (Insert title of movie) if you're interested. I hope it was informative :)
@@KonradTheKing_ Thanks for the reply! I'll be sure to check those out.
@@sirunclejim7217To add on to this, the book made for this film clarifies that the entity being worshiped isn't actually Kali, but some kind of evil/demonic force.
This has always been my favorite Indiana Jones film. Saw in it theaters with my dad and love the darker aspects of this. Willie has never bothered me. I just accepted her character was like that. A blonde model performer dragged into this adventure 😂 yeah her reactions seem about right 😂
I think you guys are waaaaaay too harsh on Willie.
Willie is the best. She's a legend.
Awesome, so glad you like the character 🙏
A legend a forgotten character like willie is a legend haha 😂 ok you must not know what legend means.
@@dorisbove2210 Like some people don't know what punctuation is...?
@@dorisbove2210 No. Willie is much more remembered compared to Marion and for sure Elsa
lol, can't even watch the heart scene and then immidiatly blame willy for screaming XD
Right tho!
Fun fact, the "guy that got dragged into the propeller in the last film" is the same actor that went into the rock crusher thing.
Come on guys...it was a different time! I watched the film as a kid and absolutely loved Willie's character. If anything, its the portrayal of India and Indians eating monkey brains etc that was offensive and unbearable, but we rode with it!
Well the whole sequence with the banquet food was to foreshadow that there's something sinister going on in the palace. There was a deleted scene that clarified how Hindu's would never eat any of the food prepared. I still understand the sensibilities however, considering how they couldn't actually film in India due to Spielberg refusing to rewrite the script.
Wrt Kate's character: the choices make much more sense when you consider that Indy as a concept is heavily influenced by pulp fiction creations. Adventure magazines, action serials, and penny dreadfuls. You have a fairly straight forward adventure plotline that emphasizes what a badass the male protagonist is, and female characters are often left very 2 dimensional. This movie, more than Raiders, leans into that source material in every aspect, like with the depiction of different ethnicities and their characteristics.
Also like, in the original Raiders Of The Lost Ark script, Marion was supposed to be 15 when she has an affair with Indy. In later iterations she's aged up to 17 while he's in his 20s. Lucas wanted her to be 11 at the time of the "affair". I don't think either man was very invested in developing their female characters.
Just scrolling through the comments about 10 minutes into this reaction and I am almost already to just stop watching because of all the times commenters have had to defend Willie. Like, I already feel I'm going to be tired. I have never understood how it is not obvious why she acts this way. She is CLEARLY not used to anything of this outdoors, adventure life.
Oh we understood exactly why she is behaving the way she is behaving. She’s out of her depth and we said that at the very beginning and we then said what a misguided decision to have her do that all film. Would have been a smarter and more interesting choice if her character arc was overcoming being the fish out of water and her fear for being in a situation she was thrust into
You have to remember, this is taking place in 1935. Men were different then, and women were different then, and they treated each other differently back then. You can’t judge these characters with modern sensibilities.
4:55 - Andrew, I'm surprised that you didn't notice the Star Wars reference there. They were at Club Obi Wan.
Honestly people trashed no 2 when it came out but I have always liked temple of doom. as crazy as it is it’s still classic Indy.
Edit: they didn’t catch club obi wan lol
Temple of doom was the first one I was introduced to as well. Me and my cousins saw it at the movies. I could not get over the chilled monkey brains😂😂
In all honesty, Willie was just a singer, she’s never been around this sort of stuff so I think the way she was in this movie made perfect sense.
I understand why Willie was in it and why indy liked her
16:02 "THERE ARE TWO DEAD PEOPLE DOWN HERE!"
"THERE GONNA BE TWO DEAD PEOPLE IN HERE!"
I found this reaction painful to watch. It's ok that you didn't like the Willie character, I don't particularly like her myself, but to be fixated on that and almost that alone throughout the entire movie got rather old. You both said that you thought this was a really good movie and yet your reaction and commentary is all about the one negative you found with the film. By the time I was half way through this reaction that negativity became really tiring and I was left thinking, "Yeah, we get it, you don't like Willie. Get over it already."
Consider too that she wasn't really written to be likeable. She's meant to be annoying, she's meant to be frustrating, and she's meant to be useless..... and I think that's ok. Afterall, she's a complete "fish out of water" as others have pointed out. She's a singer and actress, a massive star who has presumably lived a very privileged and pampered life, so her panicked and overwhelmed reaction to being thrown into this madness is pretty understandable. I mean, who wouldn't freak the f_ck out at seeing a man's still beating heart ripped from his chest before that man, somehow still alive, is sacrificially lowered into magma?
She's not bad, she was just written that way😉You guys missed the name of the club in the beginning of the film - it was called CLUB OBI WAN - a trib to GL
I love Willie! She’s hilarious…T.O.D. Is the darkest of the series
Hilarious watching folks today, react to Willie. The hate for her is just funny. She reacts like a person would in a situation, coming from fancy hotels and service, now in the jungle, dealing with giant insects and animals. As someone who was around then, she was not the problem, she was written as anti-Marion, she was suppose to be that way. Folks actually found short-round annoying and loud, which is he is, but he's cute and she's annoying now. Would you stick your hand in a dark hole with bugs coming out, be for real. That being said, this was never my fav Indy movie, Ke was ok, as a Goonies fan I liked him in that every time.
Their criticisms seem so PC driven, I think just because a female character can never be portrayed in a bad light nowadays. If Willie had been a man - who are now routinely portrayed as incompetent, nerds, sexist, or half dozen other negative traits - I doubt they would have complained.
@@crescent4996 Yeah, it's really obvious when reactors are heavily influenced by the watered-down writing and sensibilities of modern Hollywood. They hate seeing female characters be scared and vulnerable and behave like a real person would, or for male characters to be misogynistic and mean-spirited. Willie is hilarious in this film and a huge reason it works.
“This movie’s DARK!”
This movie was THE reason the PG-13 rating was made 😆 thank you, Steven
also it’s a prequel to Raiders. Not a sequel. One of the best prequels EVER!!!
Pat Roach was a wonderful guy from the UK, where he wrestled when I was young. He played the big bald German that fought Indy in the first one (propeller) and then the big henchman in the Thugge cult (roller). He also turns up in films like Red Sonja 😁
She has not done one thing she gave indy a bucket to try to help him at the beginning she put the green stuff that was meant to be the antidote after he was meant to be poisoned the bad guy at the beginning said he was poisoned Willie put the antidote in-between the top bit of her dress
Very nice portrayal of India and it's culture 👍
...Sarcasm?
Thats why it's was forced to shoot in Sri Lanka instead of India
Indy speaks Hindi with the village people while they speak an entirely different language. This one's so wild and just random.
Coz the locals are Sri Lankans and the movie wanted to portray North Indian Kingdoms
@@vatsalsanwaria537 it's so outlandish they could've just set it in a fictional country. That line "prepare to meet Kali in hell" does come across a bit problematic and I'm not even religious.
After all that and this women on the left is more concerned as to where "she got that outfit" Jesus......
You did not even criticize indy for taking the Wrong tunnel
I feel like this movie single-handedly sabotaged Kate Capshaw's career. (Marrying a super-successful director and raising a family also, obviously, put her acting career on hold as well.)
She actually was in some fairly successful movies in the 80s, and (not a shocker) was a perfectly good, subtle actress in those. (Dreamscape. Space Camp.) It was only in Temple of Doom that people complained about her. To Capshaw's credit, even she asked Spielberg at times if she could tone it down here and not act as histrionic, but obviously, she was voted down.
I can imagine a version of her character that really could've worked. She could've started out as a cartoonishly "high maintenance" person. But then over time, becomes gradually more proactive and helpful. I think that would've gone over great with the audience. Everyone loves a character arc. It's strange that Spielberg/Lucas didn't think to go that route.
You two are way too damn hung up on Willie in the movie.
It's actually annoying in itself...
Willie: she's a realisitic character, just needs to not scream constantly.
Last comment. Kate Capshaw actually was worried that she was being asked to scream so much.
_"Reminds of me when the guy got hit by the propellor in the last one."_
Kinda fitting, since Pat Roach played both characters. 😂
(I didn't actually realize at the time that he was also in Last Crusade)
Ke Huy Quan, the actor who played Short Round, apparently didn't know English very well, so he learned his lines phonetically.
This movie is wrong in so many ways about india. And Amrish Puri was really a fucking opportunist who didn't corrected the director just to be in a Hollywood movie.
I think in 1980s Indians didn't had much power. Hollywood is still a pedestal for most. Back then i think Amrish puri had no power. Or would have got recasted.
A bit of context that helps to understand the Willie character:
- Spielberg and Lucas were going through rough divorces at the time, and that influenced the darker tone of the movie as well as the portrayal of the female character, because it feels like they use her as a tool for releasing their feelings towards women. It's a sort of art as therapy thing. We don't have to agree with them (they certainly don't nowadays), but it is what it is.
- This movie goes even further on the whole pulp tropes, with the horror elements and the screams that feel very in sync with "scream queens" like Janet Leigh and other horror movie women.
- Willie is not meant to represent how every women in her situation would act, but she is a very fish out of water character, a spoiled city girl who would not have a big character arc in this adventure. Again, we can argue with the execution, of course... but that was the idea.
- Indy and her don't want to marry each other... they just want to bang. It's purely sexual, from both sides... and it's interesting to see a different relationship from the first one, IMO.
With all that said, I think watching this so many times as a kid made me numb to Willie's annoying traits, and I can totally understand people who see it today for the first time and have a hard time with it. But to me, this movie is much more than that and I love it. :)
Sheesh, you guys are so hard on her, you got to remember that she was living a life of luxury so she is really out of her element.
And you complain after he helped her by giving her a bucket what else did you want her to do she can't fight and shortround was going after the boy with the voodoo doll it was a big guy Indiana Jones was fighting
Amerish Puri legendary indian actor mainly played great villain roles in indian cinema 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
Apart from the misrepresentation of Indians, I loved this movie
The qctor who played Short Round only got the part because he tagged along with his brother who was auditioning for the part. And of course his job as Short Round led to him getting the role as Data in The Goonies.
Let's Be Honest Temple of Doom is a Much Better Movie than Crystal Skull i and bet Most People will Agree with me.
Kinda goes without saying
Why is that even a question
No shit.
Yep
What gets me is how much they're freaking out about the heart ripping scene...but when Willie freaks out (rightfully so) they're like "🙄 Ugh, Willie, so dramatic! Will you shut up already!?"
At this point I just laugh at the Willie hate because those who are annoyed take it SO seriously and completely miss the humor with her. Like these two.
would've been fine if Willie only reacted to that scene, but all she does is scream throughout the whole film, she's very obnoxious, and she doesn't even add anything to the story, you can take her out of the film and it would still be the same movie lol
@@salmankhan2739 Thanks for sharing your opinion! I'm sorry you don't find her funny. We each have our own brand of humor and this isn't yours apparently and you know what? That's okay it didn't work for you. You're not alone. 😁
Hypocrisy.
Having lived and performed in Macau, China (very near to the location where the opening Shanghai externals of this film were shot, coincidentally), I can tell you that it’s very common to have white, Western performers. In fact, in my venue it was preferred. They wouldn’t even consider hiring Asian performers. They only wanted Westerners. It was more ‘exotic’.
Funny that you say it reminds you of the guy that got chopped up by the propeller in Raiders. It's the same actor. He also played one of the Nazi henchmen at bar in Nepal in that one too. He makes a less memorable (barely visible) cameo in the 3rd movie too.
It’s funny, I think when Willie punches that guy is actually her cheesiest moment. I like her. TOD has always been my favorite. Indy and Short Round are amazing and Spielberg never had more fun behind a camera. It’s a relentless thrill ride of a movie. But Willie is a showgirl from the 30s who’s used to being treated like a Kardashian. She’s ALSO-let’s not forget-based (like many other things) on archetypes from serial adventures Lucas and Spielberg grew up on.
And Willie tried to help by throwing rocks at him
When Shorts says ''Indy, i love you'' ...CRY TIME
The disdain they had for Willie took me out of enjoying this reaction.. I thought they were gonna criticize the bad editing but they really took it out on her from jump.. To be a little fair this is my least favorite of the trilogy but I still enjoy it for the whacky antics.. Last Crusade is the Chefs kiss tho
Her being “infuriating” made Indy’s n Shortround’s actions more appreciative by the audience.
There r many types of women in the world. Some r really made like her. 😅😅😅
It’s one of my fave movie of all time.
She did well with what they gave her to do.
"Reminds me of the guy who got hit by the the propeller in the last one." It should... It's the same actor...😊
Regarding the Willie hate, even Kate Capshaw herself thought it was a bit too much and questioned it, but Spielberg had to remind her she was a rich girl, famous singer, out of her element, and would be terrified and not be able to handle the types of adventures that Indy goes through. I guess Spielberg wanted her to be realistic as to how 99% of us would react in those situations.
I don't think Willie is annoying, I enjoyed her performance as a the yuppie rich girl in the jungle... To each their own... This is my favorite Indiana Jones movie out of the 3 (and yes, there are only 3)...
Willie is great! You guys need to realise like everyone else has said, indy dragged her into this mess. Wasnt her fault!
I can’t wait for you to react to Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. It’s my favorite of the franchise, and honestly to me the best film to the franchise. The first two films were more fun action adventure films, but this film has more heart than the first two combined. It comes from the small performance at the beginning by River Phoenix and the main supporting performance by Sean Connery. Sean Connery steals every scene he is in in this film.
It's third in the list for me.
They make Marcus an absolute idiot in the third movie
I enjoy the 4th one a lot I know a lot of people don't like it but I think it's still a fun adventure
So the female reactor does not mind creepy crawlies
Your reaction to Willie is more annoying than the character herself lol
This movie release was banned in India at that time. For showing us as some jungle wild animals people. They later issued apology. Stereotyping at its best.
41:02 - 2 more to go.
Last Crusade, and Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
She was wearing the same outfit that she was wearing on the bridge
There's an extended scene where Captain Blumbertt asks Indy if he's sure that Pankot is evil again and Indy responds that Indians are mostly vegetarian and shouldn't have eaten anything in their meal.
Man... yall's extreme annoyance with Willie was annoying LoL I get that she was A LOT... but i feel like you both missed a lot of the comedy of her character cause yall were hating SO heavy. Even the slap at the end seemed to annoy you. That sucked, cause that was a grest moment. Glad yall got around to watching this classic tho. And Shortround... A+++ character and performance.
FYI: In the beginning, with the Asian gangsters, Indy and WIllie escape from Club Obi Wan
Willy's character was more distressing Damsel rather than damsel in distress. for the first hour of the movie her shrill voice was like nails on a blackboard
As an adult it's so weird to watch how the British r shown as the heroes "liberating" India at the end..like c'mon now..c'mon now.still love the film but the agenda being pushed during this time is still sooo wild...
Honestly, Willie annoys me too but she makes the scenes light-hearted and she kind of feels familiar in that i've met people like her irl and while they could be annoying and whiney and loud, they often have valid reasons to be-just like Willie here. She got dragged into an adventure she clearly didn't want to be in, her life's been in danger many times, and it's established she's the sort who likes to live in peace, comfort, and glamour, and people like her don't suddenly get a personality change in just a few of days to become a super fighter cowgirl. I imagine if I were dragged to a wretched situation, I'll be (intentionally) annoying too just so the people who forcefully put me there won't get to have peace or fun while I'm inconvenienced and miserable.
LOVED your reaction guys. Primo
I saw this in the cinema when I was 11 years old. Absolutely loved it. Harrison Ford is a legend and always will be
