Revision as of 16:46, 4 July 2008
The German Mechanic was an enormous bull of a German man with a shaven head, who in 1936 was one of two mechanics servicing the Nazis' Flying Wing at Tanis. When the plane was being prepped to fly the Ark of the Covenant out to Berlin, he emerged from his hut to see Indiana Jones fighting the other mechanic. Apparently eager for a fight, the huge German stepped in after the first mechanic had been taken out by Jones, and challenged the American to a fistfight.
He easily outmatched Jones, although ironically he unintentionally saved the archaeologist's life at one point, when the Flying Wing's pilot was about to shoot Jones, the mechanic unknowingly stepped in between Jones and the pilot, and the pilot held his fire. He ultimately met his end being blindsided by the blades of the Flying Wing's propeller, which chopped him to bloody bits.
Behind the scenes
The German Mechanic was played by Pat Roach, a hulking stuntman present on the three first movies.
Despite being credited as "1st Mechanic," Roach's character is actually the second of the two mechanics to appear onscreen.
The German Mechanic appears as "Enemy Boxer" as an end-of-level boss in LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures who can only be defeated when the player is carrying an anvil.
