A Cemetery Warrior attacked Indiana Jones and Mutt Williams at Chauchilla Cemetery in 1957 when they were searching for Orellana's grave.

Biography

The attacker was one of the two warriors that moved to fend off Jones and Williams as grave robbers. During the fight, the warrior attempted to sneak up on Williams with a blowgun loaded with a poison dart but Jones caught him by surprise and blew the projectile back into the warrior's throat from the other side. His partner was more fortunate and simply got chased away.

Behind the scenes

The Cemetery Warrior was played by Ernie Reyes, Jr. in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

In the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull comic book adaptation, instead of being killed by his own poison dart, Indiana Jones drives him and his partner off a cliff with his whip.

The Cemetery Warrior action figure packaging claims that there were three warriors present. The character is also included in the 2009 sets of the LEGO Indiana Jones franchise. In LEGO Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues, the Cemetery Warrior attacks with more than one partner.
