There should be a reverse Indiana Jones film where a South American tribe sneaks into the Vatican, steals some relics, and gets away on a boat while a bunch of men in golden robes shake their fists and shout their strange language.
@ZachWeinersmith The sequel would be a bunch of South Pacific Islanders team up to tunnel under the British Museum and steal back their mega-ton Moai stone statues.
@ZachWeinersmith That is the opening of Jared Diamond's "Guns, germs and steel": that the book is an attempt to answer the question posed by his Papua New Guinea friend "why cargo?". Why did the Europeans ended up arriving to PNG and not the other way around?
I'm imagining a plot where a bunch of out of work teens and 20yos on native land hear about on the internet artifacts from their tribe at the local university. All of them jump in their rez runner and have a road trip/indy type movie.
Plot twist: the entire department at the university is on their side and helps them in the climactic police chase through the desert with ATVs, horses, and choppers.
@ZachWeinersmith who's the nazis in this version? typically the story isn't that indiana gets away, it's that the nazis appear just when he has the relic secured to take it from him
@ZachWeinersmith there's a great parodic comic book called "Inanna Djoun au pays des français", basically this but with a babylonian archeologist bringing civilization to France. Direct spoof of Tintin for the characters and storytelling.
@ZachWeinersmith I want the same as a video game - where Lara Croft breaks into famous museums to steal artefacts and return them to their rightful owners.
