Watching The Classics: Indiana Jones

This weekend we watched both Raiders of The Lost Ark and Temple of Doom.
I actually liked Raiders for its inventiveness, cinematic style and sense of humor. But how come it took the Nazis forever to see that Indy was digging up the Ark while the rest of them were working?
Unfortunately, I can't say that I liked Temple of Doom, though it did have its moments (like the mine car chase). For the most part, I was annoyed by Kate Capshaw as the damsel in distress and didn't get into the whole cult/child slavery plot.
And whatever happened to Jonathan Ke Quan? This kid was huge in '85, starring in Temple of Doom AND The Goonies?
