Um, it's much more exciting in this short version than recapped.
[scene: int; den, evening] Man: What do you want to watch tonight? Woman: How about Indiana Jones? Man: OK, I just picked up a few the other day. Which one do you want to watch? Woman: Oh, let's start w/ Raiders. Man: Don't you want to start at the beginning? Woman: ... That is the beginning. Man: No, that's the second one. Woman: Um, I don't think so. I'm pretty sure Raiders of the Lost Ark was the first Indiana Jones movie. Man: No, that's the second one. One came out before that. Woman: Honey, I'm sorry, but no, one didn't. There was Raiders, then Temple of Doom, then that tv show with River Phoenix before he OD'd. Then somehow there was Sean Connery. Then there was that one last year, with the skull. Man: *sighing heavily* Let's check IMDB. Woman: [vindicated] [end scene]
For the future, however, in the unlikely event of someone else you know needing a pwn-down, River Phoenix played Young Indy in the Last Crusade, but Sean Patrick Flannery (Of Boodock Saints semi-fame) played him in the TV series.
Man was right in the canon timeline, but not in the release timeline. Temple is a prequel. ...which, clearly, you know.
