    Just heard recently that stunt man Pat Roach, who played two roles in Raiders of the Lost Ark(The big Nepalese henchman who fought Indy in the Raven Bar, and the big German Mechanic who fought Indy near the Flying Wing), one role in ToD(The big Thugee slave-driver who was killed by the rock crusher, and a role that was cut down in TLC(He was running with Vogel to get into the zeppelin). I remember that no matter how many punches Indy through at a character he was playing, he couldn't knock him down!

    Very sad. He made some great contributions to the Indy series, especially ROTLA. He was also in Willow as General Kael. RIP.

    R.I.P to a great kick-ass hero breaker!

    He was also great in the otherwise crap 'Never Say Never Again'

    He also played General Kael in Willow. This is sad news. How can they do another Indy movie without Pat Roach playing at least one part??? Seriously, though, this is a sad loss to the movie community.

    R.I.P. Pat Roach, you were awesome. Your small roles will not go unforgotten.

    The flying wing fight sequence used to be my favorite when I was a kid.

    I would have loved to see him in Indy IV again...

    RIP Pat Roach.

    RIP Pat, his scenes were some of the best scenes in all of the movies that I like the best. To bad his scene in TLC got got out. I wish they had all of it on the dvd.
