I was 11 years old when I saw this movie for the first time. My father decided to show it to me because "you liked the first one". My first reaction was "yay, another fun action movie featuring my favorite movie hero". Turns out my father probably tried to scare the everloving out of me. (Who does that to their kid btw?)
Temple of Doom is one of the darkest movie you'll encounter. It deals such themes like child-slavery, extreme poverty, gangsters and cults. It features a supposed kali-worshipping-child-killing-human-sacrificing cult, operating inside the catacombs of the Pankot Palace in India. This cult did not exist in the real world, but the Thuggees we're a real thing in the 19th century India. They we're just your everyday gangsters who robbed and killed tourists. Yes, they worshipped Kali, but didn't sacrifice anyone for her. This history later fascinated me later.
Temple of Doom changed my life and made me watch other, very dark films.
