I know I'm entering a landmine as I'm well aware many dislike her performance, even those who enjoy "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" dislike her, yet part of the appeal and fondness I have for Temple of Doom is due to Willie Scott. I appreciate the fact she isn't your typical heroine who acts as if falling from a plane or a building or held hostage by Devil worshipers isn't a big deal and is bold. I love how she is beyond terrified, how she doesn't want to be there. It's refreshing and kind of realistic in a way. You go from being a Cabaret star to being stuck in the jungle with snakes. Of course she's going to act like Kim Kardashian faced with a chastity belt. I thought Kate Capshaw was funny and I thought the director made her earn her stripes. When we finally get to see her do something, it happens after she got herself dirtied up and bruised as a means to show she's finally getting used to the circumstances she's in yet she's still the same Willie Scott, the narcissistic if lovable diva. Even those who dislike her, have to admit her performance of Anything Goes at the film's beginning is one of the film's brighter spots. I'm a big supporter of "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom". It's the one film in the series which feels like a roller-coaster ride with death-defying, jaw-dropping action scenes and a darker atmosphere. Steven Spielberg dislikes the film because of it, the darker and gloomy edge, yet it is the same edge which makes it memorable. You don't have the sappy sentimentality which is prevalent in many of his films. Plus, Indiana Jones' relationship with Short Round. Forget Butch, Short Round is the true son of Indiana Jones. They need to bring Short Round back for the upcoming sequel.
