What's left behind the scenes
- In the opening scenes of the film, Harrison Ford imitates Humphrey Bogart.
- The film features a restaurant called “Obi Wan.” In Star Wars, the film from which this Jedi character is taken, Harrison Ford played Han Solo.
- Instead of an airplane, they wanted to film a motorcycle race on the Great Wall. But the Chinese government considered this sacrilegious.
- The sound of mine cars rumbling along the rails was recorded at Disneyland.
- Raspberry sauce and custard were used to portray the frozen monkey brains.
- Producer Frank Marshall personally filmed the alligators. He found them in Florida.
- Harrison Ford injured his back during a fight with an assassin. He even had to fly to Los Angeles for surgery. Subsequently, most of the stunts for Ford were performed by stuntman Vic Armstrong.
- Ford injured his back a second time while fighting a bear. It was particularly frustrating that this scene was later cut.
- During the filming of the rope bridge, most of the shots were taken either from the beginning or the end of the bridge because both Spielberg and the cinematographer were terrified of climbing to the middle.
- The working title of the film was "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Death".
- Since the screenwriter of "Raiders of the Lost Ark," Lawrence Kasdan, was busy directing "The Big Chill" (1983), Lucas hired screenwriters Willard Huyck and Gloria Katz, with whom he had worked on "American Graffiti." Lucas wanted the "Indiana Jones" sequel to be darker (similar to "The Empire Strikes Back" compared to "A New Hope").
- "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" was the first film in THX's new Theatre Alignment Program, devised by George Lucas to standardize sound in cinemas.
- The film was shot in America, England, Sri Lanka, and China. The Indian government did not allow filming in India because the producers refused to give them a copy of the script for censorship review and also declined to remove the word "maharajah."
- Film producers George Lucas and Frank Marshall appear in cameos at the beginning of the film (the airport scene). The first is a priest, the second is a tourist. In addition, Spielberg thanked Dan Aykroyd for his cameo in "The Blues Brothers" – Aykroyd also appears in the airport.
- The rope bridge at the end of the film was genuine. Spielberg never crossed it. To get to the other side, he took a detour of one and a half miles.
- Models and a specially modified 35mm camera were used to film the mine car chase.
- Before Kate Capshaw appeared at the audition, Sharon Stone was the main candidate for the role of Willie.
- The village shaman told Indiana about the Shankara Stone, calling it "Shiva Linga". In Hindu tradition, a linga is a tall, cylindrical stone resembling a phallus. It is often placed inside a circle, symbolizing the yoni. Together, these symbols represent the dualistic sexual energy of the god Shiva.
