OK, so you have me interested again.
Well according to the Wikiapedia for Indiana Jones:
"Actor Ke Huy Quan portrayed Short Round in Temple of Doom.
According to the unauthorized Spanish-language book Indiana Jones: Biografía, Short Round was adopted by a high-society couple—friends of Willie Scott—in New York City, and eventually followed in Indy's footsteps, studying archaeology at the University of Chicago. This account is not endorsed by Lucasfilm. "
Well I am ok with this, but someohow I think that he should have been adopted by Indy. That's my opinion, but if you think about it really, it is implied in the movie that Short Round was Indy's sidekick and that he met him when he was really young trying to pick pocket him. Well for "Short Round's sake" he will be introduced in my next book in memory of him. So my hat is off for him.
Now for Conry, I just think he is pisse off with the movie industry for his last film, that sucked by the way. So maybe he wants to be remembered for his other roles and leave it at that. Who knows, but I agree that if the ending of the movie has somehow a family reunion of some sort that it would be approperiate to have him in it. At least for 30-1mins. It would funny if they got a guy who looked like him. Some elderly dude. LOL How many of us would be pissed then?
