Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom: Mola Ram (Amrish Puri)

Comments for death : Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom: Mola Ram (Amrish Puri).

This death is precisely why Indiana Jones is one of the greatest movie franchises of all time.

One On One?

Is that a sports watch on his hand in the third picture?

Whoa, I didn't notice that. Good eye.

Was it? or was it just a blurry bracelet?

Hang on. Why is there no other death from any of the other bad guys in the main part of the movie (e.g. the slave driver, the chancellor, the sacrifice etc.)?

By "chancellor" I assume you mean Chattar Lal, who for one is prime minister and not chancellor, and for another doesn't die (he just gets his ribs cracked although there is a deleted scene where he falls into lava). As for the others they just haven't been written yet. Also I wouldn't class the sacrificial victim as a bad guy, as he was very much an unwilling participant in the Thuggee's ritual.

Whoops the sacrifice wasn't a bad guy, I just meant any characters

And as for Lal I thought he died. Didn't Indy push him beneath the wheel and the poles pointing out crushed him between the floor and the wheel? It would crush his ribcage and you did see him actually breathing heavily before his breathing stopped.

He's shown crawling away in the background and in a cut scene had enough strength to get up and tackle Indy and fight with him on the swinging sacrificial cage/frame thing before getting knocked into the lava. But as far as the finished film is concerned he is just injured and knocked unconscious, and all official material related to the film (excepting the novel and comic which have the deleted fight scene) say Lal survived. In point of fact it's said that after Indy frees the children, while everyone else is off at the rope bridge, Lal, despite cracked ribs, actually steals some of the maharajah's treasure and escapes. To where it isn't said.
