Dan Aykroyd in Temple Of Doom?

Where was Dan Akyroyd's scenes in Temple Of Doom? It's been 20 years since I last saw it - I don't even remember him being in it, when I watched it the first time.

Well acording to IMDB he played Earl Webber but I cant remember him there at all!

Yes, 'tis true - Dan Aykroyd really *is* in "Temple Of Doom" (I didn't believe it myself until my brother actually pointed him out to me 😛 !). He has a blink-and-you'll-miss-it cameo as the man who speaks to Indiana at the airport towards the beginning of the film, just after the car chase with Lao Che's men; Aykroyd's character explains to Indy about the last-minute transportation that he has arranged for him.

His character, if I recall correctly, has a moustache, and speaks with a very thick British accent. Add to that the fact that he's only in the film for about 15 seconds, and it's no wonder that many people don't know that this was him 😛 . I'd love to know how this cameo came about ...

Aykroyd was friends with Spielberg, going back to working on '1941'.
Now, checking IMDB's cast list, I see Lucas had a cameo somewhere as a missionary. Time to check the videotape evidence!

Lucas? Really? Interesting. I heard an interview with GL about ROTS where he claimed he would do his first cameo.

I guess he meant his first Star Wars cameo.

Prolly. Never knew he cameo'd in Indy though. A missionary huh? In what film?

Ah - thanks for clearing that up 🙂 .

Ahnold's happy.

I was briefly ... but now I really want to know where Lucas is in "Temple Of Doom" 😛 !

Dammit! I saw Temple of Doom earlier (trilogy DVD thingme) and didn't see this! I could have found him and perhaps his lost movie career!

I found this:

"Cameo: [George Lucas] a missionary in the background in the airport scene at the beginning "

Ah - thank you queeq. And now I'm happy once again 😛 !

Now I have to go out and spot him.

lol i thought that was dan aykroyd when i watched it the other night😛 now i'll have to look for Lucas too

...also didnt know that TOD was set a year before Raiders 🤨

Where have you been?

Did you notice the OB1 Club at least? 😉

Aykroyd wasn''t hard to spot. Lucas is in the background somewhere.

yeah it's wierd, i've been a "fan" since i was a kid and i didnt notice all these things because i've never really properly watched them until recently, but now i've gone from being a fan to a fanatic i guess..

...oh and i've also learned that James Woods was in one of those boxes at the end of Raiders' 😂

😆

Next to the one with Rob Schneider?

"We have top men working on it now. "
