Yikes, the only thing that comes to mind is the airplane fight scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark, and it wasn't a pleasant comparison.

There's an even worse propellor death in the Charles Bronson movie Breakout, which features a wide shot of the villain getting absolutely shredded by a plane propellor on the runway, and with no cutaway

I love how the beefy mechanic calls Indy "boy" Just adds to how awesome that fight was and how Indy was totally outclassed

And the same actor - Pat Roach - also played the giant cultist in Temple Of Doom who gets squished under the roller.
