Who is Short Round?

Answer 1

Short Round is a character in the movie "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom." The following paragraph was taken from http://www.imdb.com/character/ch0001068/bio. Short Round a.k.a Shorty is a fictional 11 year old taxicab driver in Shanghai. "Yes the kid can drive". Shorty was born in 1924 and was named Wan Li by his parents. His family were killed when the Japanese bombed Shanghai in 1932. Despite attending a christian school, he still respects Chinese mythology, and believes a baby elephant that transports him in India to the Pankot Palace is really a recarnation of his brother Chu. Short Round first met Indiana Jones when he tried to pick Indy's pocket. However, Indy did not turn him into the police. Instead he took him in and decided to make him his sidekick. Shorty followed Indy on all of his adventures dispite his age. Shorty is usually seen wearing his grey Baseball cap. He is always telling Indy "You listen to me. You live longer", and does not usually call Indiana, Indy but "Dr Jones" instead. In the film Short Round is frequently heard speaking Cantonese which is dialect of Chinese, as well as English. Short Round was potrayed by Jonathan Ke Quan in The Temple of Doom.
