: Yes, I agree. Indiana Jones is not the Pepsi-Max drinking, thrill-seeking, surfer-dude type. He is a normal guy who gets into abnormal situations through his relentless pursuit of rare artifacts. Whenever he engages in something dangerous, there is often an air of reluctance about him as well as determination. He has the devil's luck, but he won't put it to the test unless he really has to; which, unfortunately for him, is most of the time. No offence to Tessa, but I think that, rather than partake in so called 'Dangerous Sports', he would view them as unnecessary risk taking activities in forced and unrealistic contexts.

Hey. Indy a "role model" for archaeologists? By God, the things he did in the Well
of Souls could get him arrested. Indy was a great adventurer, but he was a sub-par
archaeologist at best. The novels, I think, did a good job of making
him seem more professional as a digger. Especially the MacGregor novels.
Just my two cents.
