It’s hard to believe, but the movie was released 38 years ago, in 1984. Since then, Indiana Jones has gone on to produce a total of 4 films with one, Indiana Jones 5, on on the way.

Ford was conversing with Phoebe Waller-Bridge, an actress from Indiana Jones 5, as he made his approach. He describes that his heart was pounding, and he wondered if Ford would even recognize him as an adult.
On the contrary, as he closed in on the actor, Ford turned, pointed his finger at him, and said, “Are you Short Round?” As soon as Ford spoke, Quan describes feeling as if he “was transported back to 1984.”

He responded, “Yes, Indy.” Ford then ordered Quan to “Come here”, and gave him a big hug! It doesn’t get any sweeter than that!
