A Thuggee assassin was hiding in Indiana Jones's suite at the Pankot Palace in 1935
Indiana had been waiting for Willie Scott to come to his room, when the man seemingly stepped out from a wall painting and wrapped a silk cord around Indy's neck. Indy repeatedly slammed the big man against walls, but he showed no reaction. Indy even slammed a brass pot against his head and flipped the man over, but the fight went on with Jones gaining the advantage.
As the Thuggee fled to escape, Indy cracked his whip, wrapping it successfully around the assassin's neck. He threw it up to a ceiling fan and succeeded in hanging the man.
[edit] Behind the scenes
According to the article "50 Fascinating 'Facts' About Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" in Indiana Jones: The Official Magazine 3, Pat Roach played the Thuggee assassin, as well as the the gong striker in the Club Obi Wan. However, The Complete Making of Indiana Jones identifies the gong striker as having been played by stuntman Bill Reed (who is listed in the film's credits), and the Thuggee assassin has been held identified in online discussion as wrestler Don Stansauk, aka Hard Boiled Haggarty, though this has not been confirmed.
