In the "making of" documentary for this movie, George Lucas said that although he originally intended for Temple of Doom to have a darker tone compared to I predatori dell'arca perduta (1981) (much like L'Impero colpisce ancora (1980) was darker than Guerre stellari (1977)), he admitted that he made it much darker than he intended, part of the reason being that both he and Steven Spielberg were going through a break-up at the time, and he was "not in a good mood". Spielberg also admitted that although he agreed with Lucas' idea for a darker-toned film, he felt uncomfortable with certain scenes while filming them, and would attempt to inject some humorous elements into those scenes trying to lighten them up. The scene where Indy is fighting the Thuggee chief guard with a hammer, and the guard takes the hammer away and tosses it aside, only to have it land on a bystander's head, knocking him out with a comical thud, is a prime example of this scene "lightening up".
