Rene Belloq, Indy's Rival - card #4

Card #4 of the Indiana Jones Raiders of the Lost Ark movie card set from 1981.

Introducing the bad guy...Rene Belloq, played by British actor Paul Freeman.

Raiders was a springboard for Freeman in Hollywood and he continued playing villains both in Hollywood, and in his native Britain using his uncanny talent for foreign accents, which is evident in his portrayal of the South African born French archaeologist in this film.

What's Topps about this card?

1. One of only 4 character cards

2. It's Belloq...the man everyone loves to hate

3. ...again you've got to love the card back...Belloq is the dark side of Indy..unchecked by concepts of moral decency.
