Raiders of the Lost Ark: 2 lines the host's read ×2

  1. contrast (contrast): Raiders of the Lost Ark ⇒ Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (the host's read). Willie Scott was built as the anti-Marion, which means doing the opposite of what works.
    “the anti-Marian means you're doing the opposite of what works.”

Jurassic Park: 1 line verdict ×1

  1. verdict (ratings history): Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom → Jurassic Park. Jurassic Park's PG rating is called absurd given Spielberg's role in creating PG-13 after Temple of Doom and Gremlins.
    “Spielberg's the reason that PG-13 was created.”

  1. theme (line echo): Planet of the Apes → Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. The apes' chanting of a word makes one speaker think of Temple of Doom.

  1. craft (craft): Raiders of the Lost Ark → Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. Lucas's rule that the MacGuffin goes back where it was or disappears applies to Raiders, Temple of Doom's village and the Grail.

  2. craft (craft): Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom → Raiders of the Lost Ark. Temple of Doom was a prequel partly to avoid doing the Nazis again.
    “part of the calculation of making a Temple of Doom, a prequel was that he didn't want to just do the Nazis again.”
