This movie could easily have been an installment I'm the Indiana Jones franchise
Only a few changes would've been needed to make that possible. Do you agree?
shareYes, it has a lot of qualities in common with Indiana Jones, but let's not forget, Rick was not an archeologist, he was an awol British colonial army fighter. In fact, his imprisonment in an Egyptian jail, at that time, should have caused complications with the British colonial authorities.
Evie was the closest thing to an archeologist.
One other difference was less specific--the antagonists, Imhotep and Anck Su Namun, were not really evil, like the Nazis and the Thuggee. They were just star-crossed lovers who were very dangerous.

"French foreign legion"? Why do you say that? Egypt was under British colonial control, not French.

If you'd paid a little attention to the dialogue, you'd know that O'Connell said that his garrison marched halfway across Libya and into Egypt to find Hamunaptra. It would also explain why an American like him and a Hungarian like Beni would be fighting in the same army in North-Africa.
shareI guess I didn't.
Thanks.
