One step at a time

Just love me some Harrison Ford.  When his second Indiana Jones movie came out I could not wait to see it.  It was titled "Temple of Doom".  The title didn't do it justice.  We weren't very far into it before I completely "lost my lunch".  I had never seen anything like the "Temple" scene.  I wasn't a Freddy Kruger fan or anything resembling gore and horror.
