Documentarian Susan Lacy interviewed Steven Spielberg for over 30 hours for her documentary simply entitled Spielberg and the iconic director revealed to her that Temple of Doom is his least favorite movie in the Indiana Jones franchise.
But at this time it’s really hard to figure out why Temple of Doom is his least favorite at of all of the movies in the Indiana Jones franchise, though it got mixed reviews at the time of release, none of them were as bad as what The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull received.
Steven Spielberg saying that Temple of Doom, a movie that ended up introducing him to his future wife Kate Capshaw who starred as Willie Scott next to Harrison Ford’s Indiana Jones character, is his least favorite is quite peculiar.
Indiana Jones & the Temple of Doom went on to a record-breaking $45.7 million at the time of its release, making it the highest opening for a movie in 1984.
