It's such a great homage to Busby Berkeley, it'll tear your heart right out of your chest and hold it up in front of pagan followers, still beating. Wait... no, that's a later scene.
Simply one of my favourite movies ever. Whenever I watch this intro, all I can think of is the dark, violent, breath-taking adventure that I'm about to be treated to ;)
For those people who can't enjoy a semi- decent video I say this.
Is the point of the the opening the lyrics other than anything goes? If it was, it wouldn't be in Chinese. It would be in ENGLISH! Your brain is in your head not your hand.
i love how light hearted and friendly this movie starts... then it goes dark and violent, and i still loved it. my favorite jones movie without a doubt.
@interpol85 It's my fave, too. It starts with this song to foreshadow how the action is going to be wild and over-the-top, and the movie delivers on that. But the humorous excess of the action might not go along with the dark, harrowing qualities of some events in the movie. Still, I love it for how it goes out on a limb and is more intense.
wtf is it with your disrespectful reaction? by now you still find it surprising that there are other languages besides English in the world? as for the strange way it sounds, English sounds just as fucked up to speakers of other languages.
@thedeathskittle Well she is an american actor, playing a ditsy blond. so mispronouncing a translated song in mandarin is both essential to her character, and would be the natural outcome of a non native speaker trying to learn a foreign language.
just a few things... you can tell it's her singing just from the sound of the voice, which I think sounds lovely especially in a language that she doesn't even know! another thing is... ok, i'm not all for bastardizing someone else's language or culture, but it's a movie why are we freaking out about the accuracy of her singing in a different language in a movie that's 27 years old?! Just watch and enjoy!
If you're going to make a movie with foreign elements in it and you don't even bother to do your homework on simply hiring a translator then I don't know what to say, obviously there was more important places to spend that multimillion dollar budget.
@spokar1 um what? I never said the MOVIE was bad, just her Chinese, which really is bad if that's what she's attempting to say, that is an objective fact, she is not speaking Chinese she is just making Ching chang chong noises which I find retarded.
@Chocolateholics101 You serious? Wow, lmao, that's pretty terrible. I'm embarrassed to say that for all these years I've just assumed she was speaking real Chinese.
The reason the audience can't see the tap dancing sequence is because it takes place in her imagination... she wished to be a Rockette and instead she ended up working at the Skywalker Lounge in Shanghai!
@adriangiannotta Club Obi Wan you mean. And Steven Spielberg even said that he had always wanted to direct a musical number . He never once mentioned anything about the storyline or a dream sequence. Sometimes cheesy froth is just cheesy froth. Watch this video "watch?v=Xp8QrLlujkc". It's the behind the scenes stuff. ( I know it so well it's unreal lol)
I think the people who can't enjoy this movie for what it is ... should be banned from ever watching it ... so what if the pronunciation doesn't make sense ... This is Indiana Jones for cryin' out loud !! Just enjoy it ! if you want to play critic ... produce your own films THEN feel free to criticise it however way you want ... m'kay ?
This has got to be the worst "chinese" someone actually attempted to say. If they hired a random Chinese guy to translate the lyrics he could've saved the trouble and just let her make up some ching Chung chong noise impromptu because serious that is what she is actually saying anyway.
@Chocolateholics101 **facepalm** you have got to be kidding or you just "trolling" ?? if you don't like it why did you watch it and take the trouble to look this particular music up on youtube and comment on it ? wait... I just have to do a double facepalm ... and you are pretty ignorant ! This is Indiana Jones ... not an indie movie ! duh !!

Apparently this is in Mandarin, but my friend who was born in China and speaks fluent Mandarin said she couldn't understand a word of this. Could this actually be in Cantonese? or does she just have poor pronunciation?
Anyone who speaks Mandarin or Cantonese want to help me out here?
I think its safe to say Kate didn't sing this. Speilberg definately didn't marry her for her talent. Notice how she vanishes when the real dancing begins LOL.
@toscodav She most certainly did sing this. And she most certainly can dance. The reason she didn't here is because the dress got half-eaten by an elephant, had to be thrown back together at the last minute, and was made of rather non-flexible material. Of course Spielberg didn't marry her for her talent. He married her because he *loved* her. Try getting your facts straight before you talk uncalled-for trash.
Yes, and from what I've heard the Chinese themselves can't understand a single word she's saying. Apparently she just learned the words by reading them from a piece of paper, and there really was no time to hone her skills in Cantonese or whatever language they officially use in China.
Steven Spielberg later attributed this to the Willie Scott character being generally clueless and thus sang "Anything Goes" with a dreadful Chinese.
In his homage to Busby Berkeley, Steven Spielberg created the most entertaining opening to any movie I have ever seen. The banquet scenes in the maharajah's palace where they dined on "chilled monkey brains" etc., were amongst the grossest.
the whole scene is soooo kitsch but that's why i love it... the name of HF appears when KC raises her hands and she's in front of the title. simply perfect. and after such a glorious entry when the actual song starts they begin to sing and dance in a so "funny" way :D
Her pronunciation is shit, but I can discern the following: Yiwang siwa (In the old days, silk stocking) .... blah blah blaah... xinli (mentality)...blah blah... jing (surprising)... blah blah... tian zhidao (heaven knows), Anything Goes!
@Wolfan00 Apparently it's just ordinary Mandarin Chinese, but pronounced terribly. Though Indy briefly speaks to the gangsters in the Shanghai dialect.
@danshinitro You're right, the audience in the club couldn't see the girls dancing in the credits sequence. But it's a MOVIE and what's the name of the song? ANYTHING GOES!!!!! That's the theme of the whole outrageous film! Over the top and totally fun.
I love it but it always strikes me as an incredibly light opening for what turns into a pretty violent film. I mean, you'd never think a film opening with a musical number, would reach a point where someone's heart is ripped out of their chest!
@DaBananaHammock Haha okok i play fallout too.. at first i didnt realise.. but later on i was thinking hmm where this i hear this from... for the longest time and when i remembered this song i was like omg! Indiana Jones is my favourite childhood film :D
One of the best, and certainly the most outright fun, movie openings of all time. In fact the first twenty minutes are damn near perfect. (I love the rest of the picture, too, though I must admit, I know it has it's reasonable critics.)
I've seen this movie 5011 times and I just noticed that there are about 3 black women dancing in the tap sequence. Awesome! Lol See, that's what happens when you watch a movie over and over, you start to notice every little detail!
@bkcalvine It was all gibberish? That's good to know! So when I was a little kid singing this and acting it out in front of the tv I was singing the correct words! Haha :)
Heh. I know a little Mandarin and I assumed this was Cantonese (which I don't know at all.) I guess I gave the filmmakers too much credit. I guess if they can't portray India remotely accurately, they wouldn't portray China correctly.
(And then there's the third movie, with its strange notions about medieval European history, but that's another topic altogether...)
So that whole dance number with the 20 girls was all going on behind the main stage where no one could see it and only served to give her the giant red sheet to run out with?
Interesting. Never knew it was meant as a "dream sequence".
I also always thought that Willie Scott was a has-been or a naive woman with big dreams who never managed to reach the top in neither Broadway nor Hollywood. Plenty of those in reality. She was offered a nice sum of money by Lao Che in order to appear in Shanghai and there she still thinks she is some world class star.
Kate Capshaw herself loathed the character and thought her to be truly insulting for all women.
@SpinKicksusplits86 You just made me Lol. I text my sister random quotes from this movie every now and then. That was one of them! I brighten her day with my silliness. We know this movie inside and out!
The best Indy opening ever. I know a lot of people don't like Temple of doom because of the subject matter but this opening is epic. How cool is it that she actually sang it in Mandarin?
Call me pink pantied, girlie, dickless, I don't care, this intro is so damn awesome I'll never ever get tired of it. Love the pose at the big beat at 1:13 from the girls in the back!

I don't think much effort was put into getting the pronunciation or even lyrics translated into proper Chinese.
probably Lucasfilm just grabbed a chinese guy who works for them, and ask him
to tranlate the song into chinese and write down transliteration of chinese lyric in English on piece of
paper so that she can sing it.
when this was released back in 1980's China was not really considered a market for Hollywood movies.
so chinese audiences' reaction wasn't really any consideration.

I've seen this movie 5011 times and I just noticed that there are about 3 black women dancing in the tap sequence. Awesome! Lol See, that's what happens when you watch a movie over and over, you start to notice every little detail!

@bkcalvine It was all gibberish? That's good to know! So when I was a little kid singing this and acting it out in front of the tv I was singing the correct words! Haha :)

LOL she's not speaking Chinese at all. My grandpa speaks Mandarin, so I know a little bit, and I'm pretty sure she's speaking gibberish. LOL.

Heh. I know a little Mandarin and I assumed this was Cantonese (which I don't know at all.) I guess I gave the filmmakers too much credit. I guess if they can't portray India remotely accurately, they wouldn't portray China correctly.
(And then there's the third movie, with its strange notions about medieval European history, but that's another topic altogether...)

Its time for Spielberg , Lucus and Williams to get off their money piles and make more movies that are timless...

@TheAle89515 No, I think she is stepping up onto the small platform. The area is raised right there.

So that whole dance number with the 20 girls was all going on behind the main stage where no one could see it and only served to give her the giant red sheet to run out with?

30 blonde girls, not 20.
that is a dream sequence, what the kate capshaw character wishes.
she doesn't like singing in Shanghai, she wants to go back to broadway
or Hollywood and make it big.

Interesting. Never knew it was meant as a "dream sequence".
I also always thought that Willie Scott was a has-been or a naive woman with big dreams who never managed to reach the top in neither Broadway nor Hollywood. Plenty of those in reality. She was offered a nice sum of money by Lao Che in order to appear in Shanghai and there she still thinks she is some world class star.
Kate Capshaw herself loathed the character and thought her to be truly insulting for all women.

God, I love this song -- even if I don't understand the Chinese lyrics.

@JixMus Neither does any Chinese person I ever asked. I suspect Kate Capshaw just made it all up.

Only Speilberg could properly establish the tone for a dark second movie with a musical number...in Mandarin.

The best Indy opening ever. I know a lot of people don't like Temple of doom because of the subject matter but this opening is epic. How cool is it that she actually sang it in Mandarin?

Temple of Doom is my favorite Indy movie for many reasons, this incomparable intro is one of them!!!
