In the opening scene of Indiana Jones and The Raiders of the Lost Ark we see Indiana Jones’ whip in his pocket, and his hat from behind. The ordinary world for Indiana Jones is not really boring, as he is living as a professor at Oxford, and he is living day by day, but he is constantly being hit on by many of the undergraduates that he teaches in his Archaeology class. We see the undergraduate girl close her eye lid to display a message that said “LOVE YOU.” The call of the adventure is when we see two Federal Agents that came to enlist the help of Dr. Jones to acquire the Ark and is informed that the Nazis’ have found Tanis, which is the last known location of the Ark.

This is just one of the murders Jones was [allegedly, for the previous one, on account of his acquittal] involved in. The second murder he committed happened on the ship Betsy in the West Indies, where he killed the ringleader of a mutiny with his sword in a dispute over wages.
Coach Jones was an amazing mentor teacher and friend to Radio. Standing up for a disabled man to his boss the school board, his friends and to his students made this character truly stand out over all others.
