Indiana Jones: What Happened To Short Round After Temple Of Doom

Indiana Jones Updates: Jonathan Ke Quan’s Short Round was Indy’s adorable sidekick in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, and here’s what he glanced up to subsequently.

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom was a huge commercial success when it was released in 1984, but it is now widely considered as a good mix. Several individuals avoid Kate Capshaw’s Willie Scott character, while others believe the portrayal of India and its inhabitants is horribly inaccurate.

Despite this, the sequel – or essentially, a prequel – has a slew of ardent fans. It may not be as good as Raiders of the Lost Ark or Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, but it’s still a lot of fun despite its weaknesses, and it’s a lot better than Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, the legendarily challenged fourth film.

Indiana Jones: Situation Of Short Round Post Temple Of Doom

Besides Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, Short Round returned to the United States with Indy in1936, as per the “Trail of the Golden Guns” arc contained within the same 1980s Marvel Comics publication of The Further Adventures of Indiana Jones.

Dr. Jones may have sent his companion to boarding school, however that doesn’t necessarily imply he never went on another adventure with him. Throughout the comic, he aids Indy in his quest for Atlantis, and although they do not really discover it, a pirate tries to rob Indy of artifacts, forcing Short Round to rescue his friend and the treasure in a speedboat.

Screen Rant

“Into the Great Unknown,” which appeared in an issue of Dark Horse’s Star Wars Tales, follows Indy and Short Round as they search for Sasquatch in the Pacific Northwest.

Rather, they locate the wreckage of the Millennium Falcon, which must have collided there over a century before in this narrative. The body of Han Solo is found within the ship, which frightens Indy for apparent and comedic purposes.

Chewbacca, apparently intact and the source of the Sasquatch legend, stands nearby, unnoticed by them. That’s the only time Star Wars and Indiana Jones have ever been combined in a comic.

Ultimately, Short Round contributed illustrations to The Lost Journal of Indiana Jones, a guide book published around the timeframe of Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. It was also discovered that he moved on to become an explorer of his own, discovering The Peacock’s Eye in 1957.

Short Round was supposed to show up in an earlier version of Crystal Skull, starring at the end to drive Indy and his romantic interest Elaine McGregor away from their marriage.

Although it’s unclear why Short Round never featured in another film, he was once slated to arrive in an early version of Crystal Skull, knocking at the end to drive Indy and his love interest Elaine McGregor away from their wedding.

Steven Spielberg apparently called Jonathan Ke Quan regarding the cameo, but the screenplay was heavily rewritten and the sequence was cut.
