INTO THE TEMPLE
The ancient temple built by the
Land sharks to protect and
worship their sacred idol. The
temple of course is guarded by
booby traps at every twist and
turn. A risky proposition for the
faint of heart. However, no risk is
too great for Indiana James.

STONED TWINS
Flanking the temple altar stand the
STONED TWINS. The legend
claims that the two twins tried to
steal the Tequila and were caught
by the Land sharks. For their
crimes they were turned to stone
and placed in the temple as a
reminder for any person who
dares to attempt the same.

SIZING UP A STUNT
Director, Thomas Pimentel contemplates a difficult stunt. "Indy is supposed to dive
out of the temple and roll down a steep hill. Only problem is I have to dodge all the
pointy rocks on the way down." The action was perfect and Pimentel came out after
three takes without serious injury.
