: i was watching Gunga Din (1939) with Carey Grant and noticed
: a lot of similarities with temple of doom. at one point a
: british colonel says: "the thugee worshipped kali, the goddess
: of blood, with human sacrifices." in another part a good
: guy is fighting indians and does the same "fight the bad guy
: with other dudes sword and then push him into the other one
: trick" that indy did.

: just a few similarities. i know lucas based indy on old
: serials but this stuff was exactly the same.

For Temple of Doom, Gunga Din was the biggest inspiration for Lucas and Spielberg. ToD is rife with MANY similarities to ToD. In my opinion, both of them are great classics!!
