In ], Lao Che is portrayed as the father of Kao Kan and ], the latter of whom had attempted to steal the remains of ] (historically significant as the first emperor of the Chinese ]) and suffered a gunshot in the hand from Indy. During ]' meeting with Lao, Chen shoots and kills Indy's friend Wu Han with a concealed ]. Later, Indy kills Chen in revenge by stabbing him with a flaming ] as a gunfight breaks out in the club. Lao Che grieved at his death.

While this particular scene is not actually shown in ''Temple of Doom'' it is nonetheless hinted at by the large wound on Kao Kan's left ], which is tightly wrapped and bandaged upon him pulling out his ] during a particularly tense moment (upon Indy's arrival to the ]).

As Indiana Jones met Lao Che at Club Obi Wan to deliver a priceless Chinese urn containing the lost ashes of Nurhachi in exchange for a rare diamond, Lao decided to instead double-cross Jones by poisoning him. Desperate to get Lao to back down, Jones tried to threaten the gang lord by holding his prized possession -- Club Obi Wan singer Willie Scott -- hostage. However, recovered artifacts and priceless gems held Lao's heart more, and the gangster called his bluff by saying he could keep her.

Lao Che's character in ''Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom'' was portrayed by the late Shanghai born and raised Chinese actor, ], who died in ] due to complications from heart disease. Before his death, fans had called for the return of Lao Che in the next Indiana Jones film, with Chiao reprising his character. Spielberg had stated he was open to re-using the character, and that Chiao, as well as Ric Young who played Kao Kan, was interested in starring in more of the films. It remains to be seen whether Kao Kan, Lao Che's son, will be re-appearing in the films.
