I loved Temple of Doom when I was kid, because in my innocence, I was completely unaware of the deep racism and sexism of the film. I particularly loved the feast scene, and the sacrifice scene, where they rip the victim's heart out and drop him in the lava. But, I saw this movie again when I was in college at the Brattle, and I was absolutely horrified. I couldn't decide whether to be more offended by the racism, the sexism, or the portrayal of Kali's worshippers. It's nothing like Raiders or Last Crusade, which were actually quite good.
