Rare Footage From 'Indiana Jones And The Temple Of Doom' Set Features Barbra Streisand And Carrie Fisher
Carrie Fisher and Barbara Streisand are not in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. Legend has it, however, that director Steven Spielberg wanted to play a practical joke on his star, Harrison Ford, while filming a scene where Indy is captured by the Thuggee. Spielberg got the famous singer to dress up as a dominatrix and whip him. Then, the story goes that Carrie Fisher popped in with Empire Strikes Back director Irvin Kershner. Rumors of this footage have been whispered between Indiana Jones fans for years and now, finally, JoBlo has found it. The quality isn't great; it looks bad, and sounds bad. But it's better to have a raw version of this gem than none at all. Check it out after the jump.
A huge thanks to JoBlo for finding and posting this historic clip. There's more after the video.
JoBlo surmises the poor quality is because its a multiple replication from Steven Spielberg's personal collection. It looks like someone videotaped the projected image, however, so that doesn't quite make sense. To help you understand the gist of the scene, here's the transcription. (From Russ: Too bad about that last line from Barbara Streisand, if that's really her last line. As this spreads, she'll probably catch some heat for that.)
Barbra Streisand: "This is for Guns of Navarone!"Barbra Streisand: "Guns of Navarone? No..."Harrison Ford: "For Force Ten..."Barbra Streisand: "For Force Ten!" (Ed. note: She mean FORCE 10 FROM NAVARONE not GUNS OF THE NAVARONE.)Barbra Streisand: "This is for Hanover Street!"Barbra Streisand: "This is for all the money you're going to make on Return of the Jedi!"Harrison Ford: "Who's that?"Carrie Fisher: "Someone who needs you!"Irvin Kershner: "What the hell is the matter with you? Steve! Come on! I don't believe one word you're saying. Now come on, do it again."Barbra Streisand: "Give me a reason!"Harrison Ford: "It's the dialogue!"Carrie Fisher: "Can I change lines?"Irvin Kershner: "Listen."Carrie Fisher: "Yeah?"Irvin Kershner: "I want you to believe what you are doing!"Carrie Fisher: "Okay."Irvin Kershner: "You call that shouting? You call that pain?"Harrison Ford: "Steven..."Irvin Kershner: "Steve, how can you let him do this? Come on!"Harrison Ford: "Okay ready... ready."Carrie Fisher: "I'll be good, I promise."Irvin Kershner: "Do it again!"Harrison Ford: "Really hit me! Really hit me this time!"Barbra Streisand: "Okay."Harrison Ford: "Don't do it with such... really hit me!"Barbra Streisand: "I feel like a f*****..."
Pretty cool to see this little slice of filming from a movie we all hold close to our hearts, don't you agree?
