12 Movies So Good You Overlook Major Flaws

8. It's Extremely Racist & Kate Capshaw Is Super Annoying - Indiana Jones & The Temple of Doom

Watching the second Indiana Jones movie for the first time as an adult was quite an eye-opening experience after blindly loving it as a kid.

To call Spielberg's depiction of the Indian locals racist is an understatement in the least, painting them as stereotypically fond of eating snakes and monkey brains, while revering Indy (Harrison Ford) as a white saviour. And of course, followers of the Hindu goddess Kali have a penchant for ripping out people's hearts, because why not?

The Indian government banned the film on release, and while the first and third Indy movies have aged astonishingly well, Temple of Doom feels extremely dated with its blatant insensitivity.

That's not to forget The Temple of Doom's other big frustration: Kate Capshaw's grating, almost movie-derailing performance as Willie Scott. Enough has been said over the years about her only winning the part because Spielberg had the hots for her, but the shoe fits.

Rag all you like on Raiders of the Lost Ark for making Indy a passive protagonist or for all that fridge-nuking nonsense in Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (though the latter certainly doesn't qualify as a great film), yet between its shameless racism and Capshaw's headache-inducing work, there's a lot of problematic content to put up with in an otherwise rip-roaring adventure.
