The first Indiana Jones film was released, establishing the character and setting the stage for sequels.
Filming started for the second installment in the Indiana Jones franchise.
The film premiered, continuing the adventures of Indiana Jones in a darker and more intense storyline.
Following the release of "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" and other films, the MPAA introduced the PG-13 rating to bridge the gap between PG and R.
Watched this in theaters. Was a fun popcorn movie. I didn't like it as much as the first movie though. The nostalgia moments are a lot of fun for me, but the first movie had a ton of those too.
I need to rewatch this and see if it moves from a like to a favorite for me. I forget about it, see it mentioned, and remember that it was way better than I thought it was going to be. This is a great one to watch if you haven't yet.
Finally got to see this in theaters - it's a lovely movie. One of the higher quality family-friendly sci fi movies in a LONG time. The part I liked least about the book was the humor - movie was the same. Which speaks to how good the adaptation was.
