#33 INDIANA JONES AND THE TEMPLE OF DOOM (1984)
BUGS! BUGS!
EVERYWHERE!
Raiders
of the Lost Ark had some great moments where Indy was trapped in a
room full of snakes, so Spielberg was hard pressed to come up with
something in the second installment to raise the bar. He
accomplished the goal brilliantly by casting every fucking bug that
ever lived in a horrible series of scenes where Indy and Short Round
(who was already scary to listen to with his annoying shrill voice),
and then the equally excruciating Kate Capshaw are trapped in a room
full of insects galore! Spiders, scorpions, roaches, even scabies
were there to crawl on every inch of these poor actors! There hasn't
been this many bugs on the big screen since Sharon Stone's infamous
leg spreading scene from Basic Instinct.
