No woke, but a lot of screaming
Legend has it that our lead actress took revenge on the filmsy character directing by Spielberg by marrying him. But is the film woke? In no way shape or form. Plenty inclusive with memorable, loveable characters like Short Round, but no isms, ists or rats.
Boulder-squishing fun for all.
If you can get past the shrieking.

80s adventure at its best
As another commenter noted, this movie is painful on the ears.
Capshaw's jobs are 1/ being a smokeshow and 2/ screaming at the top of her (expansive) lungs.
She's impressively good at both. Also, she actually can act, even though she's never made much of a career of it. I guess she was mostly a SAHM, no reproach from me.
Seth is vastly underused, Quan was just a kid at the time and Puri takes a detour from his prolific Indian career to play an over-the-top but tone-perfect villain.
My youngest was quite a bit afraid during the movie. Guess Gen X kids were built tougher.
Indy 3 (the final movie) was probably superior, but this one is great fun.
