Willie Scott

He was joined with Jessica Capshaw.

Yes, that name might be familiar to you folks 'cause it was indeed the daughter of Kate Capshaw, AKA Willie Scott, AKA his co-star from Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and Steven Spielberg's stepdaughter.

So what they did was they did some Q&A.

They took some questions from the audience, but they started the evening with a recollection on their time on Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.

Now, at the time, Ke was about twelve, and Jessica was about six or seven, and they talked about how they would act out off-camera like kids would.

He would pretend to be Indy, and she would pretend to be her mom's character, Willie Scott.

And they had great times, and they were in Sri Lanka, and they talked about how there was a road that was so treacherous there was no way to get the trucks down off the hilltop.

It's the village there where they film it, you know, when it gets stolen from the Sankara Stones, and the crops die, and the children are stolen away.

...

they tried that sort of with Willie Scott in the second one, but she's so, like, shrill and awful that none of it's funny.

I am here to defend Willie Scott.

[laughs] You know, you know what she does? She acts like a normal human being, being pushed out of an airplane, uh, being sent into a lava pit.

She is screaming at the top of her lungs, but this is exactly how I would act if I were in any of those situations.

No.

They, th- there, there were two prototypes.

There was a Willie Scott and a Short Round prototype that were gonna be the second wave, and the first wave sewed, s- sold so, so poorly that they never, they never released the second wave.

...

but I kept getting dragged out of it by this like th- we... let's take the romance between Indiana Jones and Willie Scott out of, uh, you know, that, that movie and, and put it in this movie, but worse.

Yeah.

Um.

... that whole thing in Temple of Doom is a little annoying, but it reads as funny, right? Like the, the bit-

Sure

... between Willie Scott and Indy, whereas here it does.

Sure.

I decided my chat GPT is a boy.

Willie Scott is exhausting, but I think that's partly the joke.

Yeah.

Marion Ravenwood belongs in an adventure movie.

Because he's so,

he's so, like, similar to, like, Willie Scott.

He finishes one and he's already started the next one.

You're like, whoa.
