TRIVIA: Inspiration for RICK DANGEROUS was drawn from the swashbuckling 1980s/90s "Indiana Jones" adventure movies, particularly the first few minutes of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" where our favourite action hero archaeologist is seen leaping over pits, dodging poison darts and being chased by giant boulders.
