5 Things You Didn't Know About Indiana Jones And The Temple of Doom

2. WEIRDEST Behind The Scenes Clip Ever!

I do not have a whole lot of background on this one unfortunately, however I feel as though what I'm about to describe is weirder if shrouded in a touch of mystery. During the shooting of the scene where Indy and Short Round get whipped for spitting out the Blood of Kali, it would appear that Spielberg decided to play a prank on Harrison Ford. This prank is documented in some very poor footage that you can easily find on the internet so you can prove I'm telling the truth! The prank starts with (you guessed it) Barbara Streisand dressed as a dominatrix entering the scene. Harrison Ford has his backed turned so it can be assumed that the actor had no idea what was coming. Streisand then begins to whip Ford/tell him he deserves this treatment for certain poor movies he previously made. Also the whipping apparently was for all the money he was going to make for Return of the Jedi. Next up, a thuggee guard jumps in to save Ford from Streisand. Then it's revealed that the guard is really just Carrie Fisher aka Princess Leia in disguise! Just as suddenly, Irvin Kershner the director of Empire Strikes Back flies into the scene and starts yelling at everyone. So there you go. Weird right?! At least now we know that even though Temple of Doom was a pretty dark film, everyone seemed to be having some sort of fun making it.
