Mola Ram.

That chant doesn't help matters either.

Good god that stuff scared me.

Little factoid for those interested:

Temple of Doom was the only movie where suspense really got to me. During the cutting the bridge" scene, I go so worked up I yelled out "CUT THE BRIDGE" in the theater. I was about 10 at that time. Everybody started laughing.

Definately Walter Donavan. A great classy bad guy (love the white tux in the initial meeting scene).

Definately my fave of the pack.

And he was in a scene cut from Last Crusade. If they do Indy 4, I hope they get him back as a big bruser guy for Indy to beat the crap out of.

But least favorite would be the snakes, because I hate snakes, Jock!
Jock-strap?

The correct spelling is Jacque.

Made even more magical by the fact that his 'heil Hitler" conveyed information important to the story.

Toht gets me vote too!

Heh. Me neither.

A few minor, but important foes:

The evil little monkey.
The cobra in the well of souls.
Alfred Molina
Adolph Hitler
The giant swordsman whom Indy calmly blows away.

Belloq for me. He was such a slippery, charming and interesting villain and great at besting Indy at nearly every turn: "You could warn them...if you only spoke Hovitos," "Next time, Indiana Jones, it will take more than children to save you," "Who knows, in a thousand years, even you may be worth something!" He was terrific at mind games.

The other villains were more physically challenging (Indy 2) and Donovan was more or less an indirect threat.

Mola Ram.

My uncle(since passed) was a friend of the actor(Amrish Puri) who played Mola Ram.
