Heston was geared up like Dr. Jones in Spielberg's favourite movie as a kid, THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH, and Heston as Harry Steele in SECRET OF THE INCAS is the obvious template for the style, look and character of Indy. INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL has a great red ants scene - a refernce to another terrific Heston movie THE NUKED JUNGLE.
