I just remember this one scene (and I’m hoping it’s from a movie and _not_ a television show):

A bad guy enters the room and pulls out (from under his jacket IIRC) what looks like a nunchaku – three metal rods connected by chains. The good guy (seated behind a desk or something IIRC) is alarmed, but voila! The bad guy does something with the metal thingy and it hooks together into a clothes hanger! The bad guy puts his jacket on the hanger and hands it to his adjutant.

Well, that’s all I remember.

Yep, **Ethilrist** is right. It’s the bad Nazi guy that burns his hand on the medallion that does that.

I concur with Ethilrist.

It was Raiders…It was the scene with Rene and Marion while in Rene’s tent in Tanis.

Oof! Can’t believe I couldn’t remember it was from _Raiders_!

I was thinking like **Damhna** , musta been a cop-type thing. Thanks **Ethilrist** and everyone, that was quick.
