The Brave Or The Bold: James Bond or Indiana Jones?

Martinex1:  This may not be your typical match-up, but if you are looking for action and adventure  then who can be better to compare than Indiana Jones and James Bond.  They may be of different eras but both series contain villainous masterminds seeking world domination, femme fatales, tongue-in-cheek humor, amazing stunts, and cinematic excess.  I suspect many of us grew up in the decades where some of the biggest films were Raiders of the Lost Ark, Live and Let Die, and even Moonraker!   Can't you smell the popcorn as your shoes stick to the floor?    Thrills, spills, and heart racing action!

What are your movie going memories and how do these heroes compare?  Who would you prefer to see in the theater?   And what is your reasoning?  

Get your whips and poison pens ready, it is time for a comparative battle between Ian Fleming's cold war creation James Bond and the Lucas/Spielberg archeologist Indiana Jones!
