That balding nazi who crawls over the truck and thrashes the crap out of Indy in the front seat.

The bald nazi who beats the crap out of Indy under the plane.

The balding nazi who gets the headpiece burned into his palm.

Hmm. I'm sensing a pattern.

Trying to remember more bald nazis.

Those nazis weren't balding. Their hair was removed by nazi superscience and put on the body of an Aryan trapeze artist shrunk to simian size to pr.... oh forget it.

What about Lao Che? The only villain in the series who gets the best of Indy and actually gets away with it!

Indy: "Nice try, Lao Che!"
Lao Che [laughing]: "Good bye, Dr. Jones!"

Rounding out my top-5:

Belloq: "Next time, it will take more than children to save you!"
Sallah: "That car belonged to my brother-in-law!"
Toht: "You Americans, you're all the same. Always overdressing for the wrong occassion."
Mola Ram: "Drop them, Doctah Jones! They vill be found! YOU won't!"

Willie, because she hasn't been mentioned and everybody hates her, and as a child, her "Anything Goes" was amazing, her desire to have Dr. Jones grab her instead of the statue was probably the first instance I'd seen of a woman onscreen showing sexual desire, and because I would have reacted to the bugs in exactly the same way.

Donovan, because he was really kind of slick, and I love Veers.

Short Round, Brody, Sallah, Marian, Dad.

That Nazi lady who smiles nicely before screaming and pointing.

The Knight guarding the Holy Grail. "Choose wisely."

That pic of Toht is awesome , Helix. You can almost feel that creepy bastard holding a fiery stick in front of your face just like Marion experienced.

Pat Roach (bald Nazi, Chief Thuggee) can be seen for a brief moment in Crusade. He plays the Gestapo agent who's walking with Volgel outside the zepplin and is seen waving his hand. He had a bigger cameo in the original cut but then Spielberg wisely deleted it as it dragged the scene.


I'm gonna defend Willie for a having a few great moments. Aside from the already mentioned Shanghai opening, the overlooked "5 minutes" banter between her and Indy is terrific. It's beautifully edited and has some nice music. And you gotta just love the way the Thuggee steps out from the mural and interrupts the flirtation. The part where she punches the guard off the minecar is cool too.

Sallah- "Bad Dates."
Marion- "I'm you're goddamn partner!"
Marcus- " It gives me the winds something terrible." (Sorry wrong film)
Short Round- "No fun, play with you no fun."
The guy that gives Indy his hat.- "You lost today son, but that does't mean you have to like it."

The effette prince of Pangkot Palace is probably my all time favorite movie character.
