I stole this poll from myself on another forum.

I'm curious to see what the CHUD community thinks.

Don't you mean you stole it from THIS forum?

Ahem.

Besides, the monkey isn't on the list, so your poll is clearly invalid.

Katanga. Hands down. I love that a brother was the captain of a pirate ship. Not "AAAARRRRR!" pirates, mind you, but pirates nonetheless.

Nope, my poll was dated 8/31/04.

Hardly an original idea being the Indy fan I am, but more discussion on Indy can't be a bad thing, can it?

I quote myself from that other thread:

Quote:
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!"
I will now patiently await Helix's "Vote right! Vote Ram!" photo...

I voted for Henry, simply because you have to admire a guy who must have been about 12 when he got his rocks off and inseminated Indy's mother. Christ, talk about an early starter! Seeing him and his son together in Last Crusade was like watching a movie called Grumpy Old Men: The Adventure Continues!

I like the butler from 'Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.'

That dude rocked!

Nice try, but no Lao Che on that list, nor the Guy Caballero look-a-like from the opening of Crusade.

Cut me some slack. I only had the option of 10 choices max.

I would've liked at least 20. That way I could've included the monkey, Indy's fedora, "the dude in Raiders who gets shot with the pistol", and Toht.

Of the choices listed I'd say Henry. "I should have mailed it to the Marx brothers!"

Of those not listed I'll go with Satipo. Poor Satipo, you greedy son of a bitch. The bald dude who gets the propeller in the face was always cool.

What about Hitler?

Seconded. Hey, he gets the idol for nothing. That's good bargaining.

I like that one dude... in that one scene... with all the Nazis. That guy was cool.

I liked the German officer who leaps onto the truck with the Ark in Raiders and fights with Indy. That guy gave 110%.

Don't forget the Grail Knight! His cryptic warnings and humble laments about poor choices always rings in the back of my mind.

You mean, Admiral Ozzel!

Also, special recognition must go to:

-The truly frightening-looking Nepalese gentlemen in Marion's bar

-The funny little guy who serves up the poisoned dates in Raiders (he looks like the snail-riding fellow in The Neverending Story!)

-The big Mr T-esque pirate ("I found him!")

-Herman from Last Crusade ("Herman's horse-sick!")

-The village headman in Temple of Doom ("The shingalinga!")

-The poor Chinese guy who helps Indy in Doom, then gets shot ("I go first Indy!" "Sure, be my guest!")

-Belloq, but only for perving at Marion with a mirror.

-The guy who gets a big brick dropped on him in Raiders, but got his scene cut (you can see him briefly after Indy and Marion escape from the Well of Souls).

-The poor chickens in the plane in Temple of Doom. Always felt sorry for them, stuck in a cage enroute to a fiery end. May Khali protect them!

Hmm... I remember starting a thread like this not too long ago but anyway's here's my choices:

- Short Round
- Mola Ram
- Henry Sr.
- Marion
- Sallah
- Belloq
- Marcus

Honourable mention must go to Pat Roach as he provided some worthy fights for Indy. The V-Wing fight. fight in Marion's bar and the Conveyor belt Fight where Indy and Shorty beat the crap out of age-appropriate Thuggees. Sadly, Mr. Roach is no longer with us and I feel Indy 4 could have used his presence.

No votes yet for the fly that Belloq eats in the canyon? Damn.

Forgot about him. Also forgot about the Oscar-worthy performance by the dummy who takes Vogel's place on the model tank as it plummets to the bottom of the Canyon of the Crescent Moon. First class.

Sallah, and one very good reason.

"Asps. Very dangerous... You go first."
