One of the most famous characters in American cinema is Indiana Jones. In fact, Indiana Jones is so popular that people call him “the American James Bond.” While James Bond is recognizable by his tuxedo, Indiana Jones can be identified by his fedora and whip. Three Indiana Jones films were released in the 1980s, and a fourth film was released in 2008.
