 Kate Capshaw called her character " not much more than a dumb screaming blonde . " Steven Spielberg said in 1989 , " I wasn 't happy with Temple of Doom at all . It was too dark , too subterranean , and much too horrific . I thought it out @-@ <unk> Poltergeist . There 's not an ounce of my own personal feeling in Temple of Doom . " He later added during the Making of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom documentary , " Temple of Doom is my least favorite of the trilogy . I look back and I say , ' Well the greatest thing that I got out of that was I met Kate Capshaw . We married years later and that to me was the reason I was fated to make Temple of Doom . "
