Teddy Kumar, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny
On the surface, Teddy is just a new Short Round: a small-time criminal who befriends a like-minded adult and becomes their sidekick. But after two Indiana Jones movies without someone playing that role, the youthful energy and humor was a much-needed delight. We see Teddy drive, fly, fight, swim, kill bad guys, rob rich assholes—it’s all great. If anything, Dial of Destiny could’ve used more Teddy, just as we could always all use more Short Round.
