Sloped Nightclub Roof

Green-Tiled Roof (Outside The Dragon Nightclub)

Slippery green tiles cover this steeply sloped roof directly outside The Dragon Nightclub's rear stained-glass window. The massive gong tumbles down first after shattering glass, followed by Indy and Willie who crash onto it and slide wildly through snapping awnings and a taut mattress. Night wind lashes them during the three-story plunge; they narrowly dodge death before ripping into the Duesenberg below. This precarious ledge turns nightclub chaos into a hurtling escape.
