The Chief Guard was the ruthless, imposing commander of Mola Ram's Thuggee guards and also helped oversee the enslaved children in the mines that were under Pankot Palace in 1935.

Biography

The huge, powerfully built Thuggee Chief Guard was first seen by Indiana Jones, when he saw the guard whipping and yelling at one of the enslaved children in the diamond mine beneath Pankot Palace, India. Jones threw a rock at the guard, which allowed the child to get away. The guard, furious at Indy's intrusion and nerve, alerted a few underlings and ordered the archaeologist's capture.

Later, he restrained Jones while the archaeologist was forcibly put under the Black Sleep of the Kali Ma, and much later, he fought with Indy in the mines. The large Thuggee attacked Jones after Jones freed the children. Jones landed several good punches on him but the guard brushed them off and punched Jones then threw him in a mine cart. Short Round tried to help Indy by flogging the guard with his whip, but was hurled aside by the man. The guard then pushed the cart until it gained momentum to move itself. Jones and the guard fought in the cart, with the guard winning.

Rock crusher

The Thuggee and Indiana Jones exchange blows.

The cart stopped at the top of the ramp and flipped both men onto a conveyor belt which led to a rock crusher. On the conveyor belt, Jones and the guard fought each other, with both men landing heavy blows. But whenever Indy gained the upper hand, he was paralyzed via a voodoo doll at the hands of Zalim Singh until Short Round disabled the Maharajah and then freed him from the Black Sleep using a torch.

Willie Scott assisted Jones by throwing rocks at the guard and giving Jones things to hit him with. The guard was finally defeated when his red sash was caught in the rock crusher. Despite Jones' merciful attempts to rescue him with the use of his whip, the thug was pulled into the machine and crushed to death.

Behind the scenes

The Chief Guard was portrayed by the late professional wrestler and stuntman Pat Roach in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. Roach had previously played the Giant Sherpa and the German Mechanic in Raiders of the Lost Ark and later went on to portray the Gestapo in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. The film's script referred the character as the "Thuggee Giant".

In an earlier script, written by Willard Huyck and Gloria Katz, the Chief Guard only appeared when he battles Indy at the mines. Neverthless, his death scene is the similar to the finished film, but in this version Jones does not try to save him.[1]

As with most of the Thuggee, the Chief Guard rarely speaks during the film. One of the Chief Guard's few lines in the film is "Jaldi Karo!" which is Hindi for "Hurry up!", and is repeated by the character as he whips the enslaved Mayapore children in the mine before Indy throws a rock at him to stop his hitting the infant.

In the Temple of Doom novelization, the Chief Guard's sash is caught in the rock crusher when he tries to grab Indy but loses his balance and succumbs to his movie fate.[2]

The Chief Guard is absent from the Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom arcade game as well as the mine scenes of Indiana Jones' Greatest Adventures. Instead, Indy battles several Thuggees on the conveyor belts instead while finding and freeing the enslaved children.

In LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures, unlike the film, the Chief Guard has a shaved beard and the Maharajah lends assistance by replenishing the man's health after the first two fist fights. The player is only able to deal lasting damage to the guard once they free Short Round and use him to rout the Maharajah. In this version, the guard never fights with Indy on the conveyor belt itself. He jumps independently to the conveyor belt and begins throwing giant mine stones at Jones, who retaliates with dynamite. The Chief Guard eventually falls, defeated, to the belt and is subsequently pulled along some rocks by the rock crusher, dying without Jones trying to save him.
