racist. And few modern-day South Asians will find much to smile about in a movie that lionizes British colonizers as heroes and demonizes the Indian resistence fighting for independence.

"Unfortunate Implications" is now Flame Bait. Renamed one trope.

Added DiffLines:

* FanonWelding: Many ''Franchise/IndianaJones'' fans consider this film to be a direct prequel to ''[[Film/IndianaJonesAndTheTempleOfDoom The Temple of Doom]]'' due to the similarities between the two films, and the fact that the Thugee are the villains in both films.

The point of Asshole Victim is that the audience thinks the victim is an asshole and so doesn't feel sorry for him. If the characters think he's an asshole but the audience doesn't, that's not an example.


* AssholeVictim: Higgenbotham when he drinks the spiked punch, but only insofar as ''Cutter and [=McChesney=]'' think he's an asshole. He actually comes across as a competent soldier eager to be friends with them, but they don't like him because he's a very prim and proper Englishman and not a rough and tumble adventurer like them.
