Indy's brother

It occured to me out of the clear blue that Ace Ventura: Pet Detective and Raiders of the Lost Ark are eerily similar!
1. Both open with a Third Act.
2. Indy Quests for lost artifacts, Ace quests for lost animals.
3. Indy uses the head piece to the Staff of Ra to locate the Ark, Ace uses a rare cut amber stone from a 1984 AFC Championship Ring to locate Snowflake.
4. Indy constantly thwarts the attempts of Nazis, Ace constantly thwarts the attempts of Loohoo--sehers.
5. Indy's main adversary is a more evil archaeologist. Ace's main adversary is a more evil detective.
6. Both have tall, iconic headgear.
7. Both are masters of disguise.
8. Both have a monkey as a confidant (same kind of monkey?).
9. Indy gets a bullet in the arm while driving in a chase scene, Ace catches one in his teeth.
10. In the end, Indy and Ace both walk home without the quested item, but get to keep their female partner.
Marion Ravenwood=Melissa Robinson (Courtney Cox)
Sallah=Emilio (Tone Lõc)
Imam=Woodstock (geek with tow pair of glasses that tracks greenpeace (or something))
I'm sure I've missed more comparisons, so feel free to add some more! Also, if you can find a film that has 10 things in common with and Indy flick, document it here in this thread!
