The Mean Mongolian was one of Toht's henchman. While trying to get the medallion from Marion Ravenwood, the Mongolian ended up fighting Indiana Jones in The Raven tavern. He hid behind the bar and managed to notice his fellow goon, the Giant Sherpa, accost Indy. This event distracted him from seeing Marion, who knocked him out with a log to the head.
As he came to his senses, Indy had just defeated the Giant Sherpa and Toht had fled the scene. The henchman aimed his gun at Indy unaware that Marion was pointing a gun on him. The Mongolian's life was ended with one shot to the back.
[edit] Behind the scenes
- The Mean Mongolian was played by Sonny Caldinez.
- In the Raiders of the Lost Ark novel by Campbell Black he is the first to die during the fight because Marion hits him in the head with an axe handle and knocks the Mongolian out.
- In the Marvel comics adaptation of Raiders of the Lost Ark, because the giant Sherpa doesn't appear, the Mongolian is the one who fights with Indy and cooperates with him to shoot and kill the second Nazi with Toht.
