Short Round Is Indiana Jones’ Best Sidekick
Ke Huy Quan’s Short Round character in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom will always be Indy’s greatest sidekick. As beguiling as Marion Ravenwood might’ve been in Raiders of the Lost Ark or as compelling as Sallah might’ve been in four of the franchise’s five films, no supporting character can touch Short Round.

He’s given a plethora of memorable quips, such as “Hey, Dr. Jones, no time for love,” “You call him Dr. Jones, doll,” “I’m very little but you cheat very big,” and “He’s not nuts, he’s crazy.” His enthusiasm is infectious, his resourcefulness advances the plot, and his genuine affection for Indy tugs at our heart strings.
Short Round Makes Indy a More Interesting Character According to the Temple of Doom novelization, Short Round was a pickpocket on the streets of Shanghai who tried to steal from Dr. Jones. When Indy caught him red-handed, he took a liking to the kid, teaching him how to drive a car and introducing him to the wonders of American baseball. Throughout the film version of Temple of Doom, we see Indy in the unique position of acting as a sort of big brother or father figure to his sidekick.
