Apples and Oranges. There are various scenes that bring them closer together - but it's like saying every Star Wars fan is a Star Trek fan. Apples and Oranges.
Personally, I'm a big fan of both. but if I were to choose which Bond movie is the most similar to an Indy movie and vice versa, I'd have some trouble. Octopusy and Temple of Doom? Only because they both take place in India.
So drastically different.
*** The one HUGE aspect I've always found that they do have in common is their musical scores. The best of the Bonds and all four Indy movies are so recognizable in the first few seconds because of the distinct talents and defining sound of John Williams and John Barry. Each giving both franchises a different and unique tone that makes the movies easily identifiable. Two iconic scores and main title themes that are unforgettable. Stunts and stage presence aside - this is one element that is often overlooked. And when you find two composers that come up with such memorable themes for the most fast paced of action sequences, it's gold.
