Trivia:
The production was highly fortunate in their main location in the town of Kandy in Sri Lanka as nearby a British engineering company was building a dam. When it came time for the film crew to shoot on a suspension bridge over a gorge, the British engineers were able to design and build one for them very quickly.

Hokier and jokier than its predecessor, "Raiders of the Lost Ark," "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" gives us a pretty good idea of what Steven Spielberg would be like if he were hopped up on amphetamines.
"Raiders" felt like it was full of non-stop action until you see this movie, which barely pauses to catch its breath. It's not as good as "Raiders," but I always enjoy it. Kate Capshaw is the film's biggest liability -- in the scene where she's being lowered into a fiery pit and Indiana is trying to save her, I always root for the fire. But the film has dazzling set pieces, some of them, like a breakneck race through a mine shaft, that rival or even outdo those in "Raiders."
Grade: B+
