Indiana Jones’ Temple Of Doom villains are rooted in history, but how much of the real Thuggee cult’s origins did the movie get right?
Indiana Jones And The Temple Of Doom is a huge departure for the Harrison Ford franchise, and perhaps one of the biggest ways is its villains. Although The Temple Of Doom is the second Indiana Jones movie, it’s a prequel to Raiders Of The Lost Ark set in India. Instead of fighting Nazis, the much darker Temple Of Doom sees Indy aid a village, who have had both a mystical stone and their children stolen by a Thuggee cult.
How Temple Of Doom Changed Thuggee Culture Thuggees may have been a real gang in India, but many aspects of their culture and history were changed to better fit the Indiana Jones And The Temple Of Doom story. A huge change that The Temple Of Doom made to the historical origins of its villains are the Thuggees’ goals and methods. The Indiana Jones movie sees the Thuggees as evil priests who deal in ritual human sacrifice, child slavery, and black magic.
Everything Temple Of Doom Got Right About Thuggees While Indiana Jones And The Temple Of Doom changed a lot about Thuggees, the movie ended up getting some of the key details of Thuggee culture correct. The biggest aspect of real life Thuggee culture is their devotion and service to the Hindu goddess Kali, which is depicted in The Temple Of Doom.
