How come nobody told me?
So after the familial brouhaha, I celebrated Christmas with notorious Jew Jeff. Perusing my collection of video casettes, most purchased for a mere dollar apiece in the `Cuse one balmy day (at that price, Terry "Hulk" Hogan's Thunder in Paradise was a steal) , Jeff settled on The Temple of Doom.
The high point of the movie, of course, is the inimitable opening sequence--the bilingual song and dance number that starts in the outrageously oversized soundstage, the lazy susan shady dealings, the crawling amongst the stampede, etc. I've seen this movie a dozen times, and never once did I notice that that whole shebang happens in Club Obi Wan. You guys knew that, right? You've got to clue me in to these things.
Also, how the hell does Indy know Mola Ram's name? His only introduction is the secretly observed heart-stealing ceremony, and then Indy's calling him out all of a sudden.
