Director: Steven Spielberg Producers: Frank Marshall, George Lucas, Kathleen Kennedy and Robert Watts. Writers: George Lucas, Gloria Katz and William Huck Stars: Harrison Ford, Kate Capshaw, Jonathon Ke Quan, Roshan Seth, Philip Stone, David Yip, Roy Chiao and Amrish Puri
Released in the summer of 1984 this near two hour sequel to the great 'Lost Ark' saga sees the return of the archaeologist comes adventurer Indiana Jones.
** BRIEF PLOT **
With Jones beginning yet another quest, this time looking for mystical stone, he uncovers many horrors, including kidnapping, black magic, human scarifies and child slavery… Jones, together with Wilhelmina 'willie' Scott (played by Kate Capshaw) and a 10 year old Chinese boy called Short Round, (played by Ke Huy Quan), search takes them into a hidden temple where he uncovers the truth about the kidnappings… involving many horrific deeds performed by Mola Ram, (played by Amrish Puri), an evil priest with a passion for black magic and human sacrifices.
As the search for the special stones continues, Jones and his amateur team of explorers face many dangers… including a rather strange cart chase down some dusty tunnels and a very precarious rope suspension bridge…
** IN CONCLUSION **
A brilliant sequel to raiders of the lost ark with just as much action, thrills, entertainment and daft stunts as before…
Ford plays his part brilliantly, giving the movie that air of style, in his own sort of way, although his character does seem to be becoming more agile as he ages… performing some moves that would make a monkey swinging through the trees look amateurish… (as I said, there are some rather daft, but well entertaining, stunts).
In fact, the entire cast to a brilliant job to make this movie a must to see, especially the calm composure of the brilliant Amrish Puri who plays his part as the demonic priest to perfection, ripping out hearts with his bare hands, his emotionless expression making the hairs on the back of your neck stand to attention… Not forgetting the splendid acting from the young Ke Huy Quan ( or Jonathon Ke Quan), his acting is simply brilliant as the 10 year old saviour of Joneses life once or twice… ( he also went on to star in the 1985 comedy movie 'the Goonies' as Richard 'Data' Wang)…
In all a must see for all fans of outrageous action/adventure movie which are so daft they are splendidly brilliant…
Would I recommend this….?
One word…YES… It is a fine 2 hours of pure entertainment with a fast paced plot and some well over the top stunts… pure genius and a must for your collection…
