"Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" released 1984


Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, released in the U.S. May 23, 1984, is probably the darkest of the Indiana Jones movie franchise.  The trivia section of this movie on imdb.com makes several references to Steven Spielberg and Harrison Ford, saying they weren't entirely pleased with this one because of its darker tone. 

It won an Oscar for Best Effects, Visual Effects and John Williams received a nomination for his musical score. 

Temple of Doom opened to mixed reviews, mainly due to the horror and violence, but it still remains one of the best movies ever!

BTW, those were alligators in the river under the rope bridge, not crocodiles!
