...scene which I have not seen in other werewolf movies, Will visits an Indian sage of the occult to find out what he can do for his little hairy problem. The sage/doctor, played by Om Puri, informs Will that his transformation will be permanent with the next full moon unless he wears the medallion which he gives him.
