Bullwhip, fedora, fear of snakes, these are some of the traits of the famous Indiana Jones. This adventurous archaeologist is one of the most popular and well known fiction characters in movie history. The actor that played Jones, Harrison Ford, both defined and is defined by this character. The first Indiana Jones movie was “Raiders of the Lost Ark” then came “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom” and “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade”. The character later went on TV (As the young Jones), Books, and Graphic Novels. Now a fourth movie staring Harrison Ford is being made now.

Archaeology has never been so entertaining. Indiana Jones is a famous archaeologist and professor during the 40’s. Jones travels the world looking for lost relics of the past, like archaeologist do. Unlike most archaeologist Indiana meets deathtraps, woman, and plenty of bad guys (and sometime bad woman). His most usual villains are the Nazis who are after the same artifact and will stop at nothing to get it. Jones life is quite dangerous, making him more than a tome raider. He’s a fighter and sometimes a soldier. Indy spends most of his time in these movies fighting for his life (and maybe a woman’s) rather than actual archaeologist work. His most common weapon and tool is his bullwhip. He does use guns and other weapons but any man who takes out Nazi soldiers with just a whip is pretty awesome. Though artifact, history, culture, and legend knowledge is a characteristic just as strong as his fighting skills. With these skills he can solve puzzles and find artifacts faster then his rivals.

Other reasons this character rocks? He has a somewhat sly and scoundrel attitude. He is often seen bartering in bars and other darker places. He is sly and smart enough he make his way through Nazi territory. He is a terrific fighter who usually finds a way to win despite odd against him. Though he is in no way invincible, just determined. Usually he is always the one taking the most damage throughout the movies (except for the ones who actually die). He never gives up but he goes through so much pain that one could be sorry for him (or think it’s funny). He also has a very large fear of snakes which always seem to get in his way. Even these flaws add to his characteristics and reasons we like him. Indiana Jones kicks serious butt and deserves to be on this list.
