Hello All. New to the site. This is the question that has been bugging me for years (not that I really tried to find the answer), but I figured a site like this would be able to tell me...

Right before Indy slashes the bridge at the end of Temple of Doom, he yells to Shorty in Chinese. Sorry if this has been asked before, but what is the exact Chinese that Indy shouts (and what does it mean).

I'd appreciate any help. Thanks in Advance.:confused:

Welcome Brer Rabbit! I'm not sure but I think Indy says "Brace yourselves!"

He says...

"Throw that whining b**** Willie onto the bridge before I cut this"

Heh, even in the context of the scene that would have worked well. Nice.

Indy tells Shorty, "The bridge. Hold onto the ropes." There's not really a direct translation, but that's basically what he says. It took me a few times to finally realize what he's saying. Harrison sucks at Chinese!
