Belloq

And let's say you make it out of that, then you have a freaking Nazi, like Belloq (), just sitting there waiting to wrestle away the very rare and valuable fruits of your labor, and send a group of deadly African tribesmen to kill you.

Remember, Indy is saved from Belloq’s Nazis in Raiders of the Lost Ark by a literal human shield made of Sallah’s children.

As he is leaving the temple, he is confronted by rival archaeologist René Belloq.

Belloq and the others look on in astonishment as the apparitions are suddenly revealed to be angels of death.

Belloq is also an archaeologist after the Ark, but he is working for the Nazis.

Belloq performs a ceremonial opening of the Ark, which appears to contain nothing but sand, all that remains of the Ten Commandments.

By contrast, his rival Rene Belloq is killed for having the audacity to try to communicate directly with God.

Indy, Sallah, and a small group of diggers unearth the Well of Souls and acquire the Ark. Belloq and Nazi officer Colonel Dietrich arrive, seize the Ark from Jones, throwing Marion into the Well of Souls with him before sealing it back up.

Much was improvised: the scene where Marion puts on her dress and attempts to leave Belloq's tent was improvised as was the entire plane fight.
