Rosa Powell’s review:
A movie that has exploding Nazis is good enough for me. How the fuck did this get a PG rating?! This is an amazing adventure film, the only thing that annoyed me was the relationship between Indiana and Marion.
Had this not been PG, I wouldn't have seen this until much later in my life, and it may not have made the impact it has. I love this film and all its corpses-popping-out, face-melting, exploding Nazis glory!
I was never allowed to watch the end as a kid, and only last year did I actually see it. It's mind blowing (pun intended)!
The climax warped me for days. "Temple of Doon" warped me even more!
Umm..."Doom." "Temple of DooM."
I haven't seen them in years, and last night the first was on TV so I'll be revisiting the others soon. I hardly remember what happens in the other three movies (although I'm not a fan of the fourth).
PG-13 did not exist when this was made. Not until after Temple of Doom.
