The Temple of Doom is Steven Spielberg’s least favourite Indiana Jones movie

August 1, 2017 by Gary Collinson

If you ask any Indiana Jones fans for their least favourite instalment of the action-adventure franchise, you’d be hard pressed to get any other responses that Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Unless you ask Steven Spielberg, it seems.

According to Susan Lacy, director of the upcoming documentary Spielberg, the legendary filmmaker has revealed that out of all four instalments in the series, he likes the 1984 prequel Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom the least. Spielberg apparently also acknowledges some mistakes he made with the World War II comedy 1941, which is widely regarded as one of the lowest (if not the lowest) points of a rather stellar career.

You’ll be able to see Steven Spielberg discussing his career in the documentary when it premiers on HBO on October 7th, while Spielberg is also set to reunite with Harrison Ford for a fifth Indiana Jones movie, slated for release in 2020.

In the meantime, let us know if you agree with Spielberg about The Temple of Doom…
