    Willie Scott remains my favourite Indy girl, and Temple of Doom ny favourite Indy flick. She was my childhood fantasy - forget Princess Leia! The screaming never annoyed me, I thought she was funny, and a nice contrast to Indiana's adventurer. Would have much preferred to see her return in the new film rather than Marion, but then I wasn't impressed with the new film, so maybe it's a blessing she wasn't in it.

      When I was a kid I HATED Willie. She bothered me and I just thought she was annoying. Now that I'm older I can appreciate the comedy she brought to the role. She's pretty hilarious, actually.

        I just watched the film again yesterday in case I was wrong about her, but nope - she's terrible!
        Her and Short round are two major reasons why this film was so bad.

          Short Round was great!!!
          He showed the bad parenting skills of Indiana (Gambling, cheating, taking him on near death adventures etc) but he also showed Indy had a heart, he adopted him practically.

            I'm actually a big fan of her. The role was basically Fay Ray/Mae West. Kc did a great job bringing her to life, and without her the film would've been much less

              i did. she was really funny and cute when she's not screaming. hehe.. i love the part where she asks for soup and when the soup comes steaming hot in a silver bowl she smells the aroma ans starts digging in only to find eyeballs in it. god.. her expressions in that scene were frigging hilarious! i also felt she had great chemistry with harrison. i love their bickering scenes.

              Iron Man was awesome!

                I did. Willie is one of the best things about Temple of Doom - I wish she had been in Kingdom of the Crystal Skull!

                  She was a horrible actress, but Speilberg obviously wasn't looking for her acting skills
                  I actually liked her character (not loved but liked) but not better than Marion's. What I can't believe is that she is actually only 31 in the movie! I thought she was like 40 something.
                  Okay editing this to say that I watched it again today and forgot how HORRIBLE she actually was in this! Ughshe ruined every single scene she was in. The overacting the non existing acting skills, my lord she must have had one heck of an agent back then! I didn't dislike the character, I HATED Kate Capshaw as Willieboohiss
                  The good news is, I loved shorty in this, he's so adorable and what acting chops he had back then!

                    Yes, I think her character and her performance were spot on in this movie.
                    She played the quinessential damsel in distress, I don't know what her detractors were expecting.

                      she can't act, but I did love the opening sequence.. I laughed so hard when it first opened.. but she isn't an actress, she's a big directors wife (and he came by her the hard way LOL)

                        She probably did steal the show (mostly because she was in the worst one), but she's still not as good as Marion. Indy and Marion are just good together.

                          Oh my gosh, I loved her! She did such a good job to drive you nuts! (That's a good thing) I really thought that she did such a great role.

                                Yeah, i thought she was humorously annoying, which seems like that was asked out of the character ( you know, for Indy's facial expressions and snappy comments). it's isn't like she's a poor actress; I watched her in "Dreamscape" and she does a great job being subtle and natural with her character in that film. also, I think that's the film she looks the best in.
                                If I recall correctly, she didn't take her clothes off in very many of her roles:-)

                                  watch "A Girl Thing", her and Elle Macpherson (you read it right) sex scene, they're both nekkid, it's rather hot. You can find it on YouTube

                                      I thought she was hilarious and she was supposed to be totally different from Marion.
                                      Yeah pretty much.
