Ground rules: Each are equipped with both a whip and a sword and are in their phyiscal prime. The arena is an old ghost town in Mexico.

Personal bias: I liked the Mask of Zorro quite a bit when it first came out, but I still love the Indiana Jones movies to this day. I even liked most the Crystal Skull, but the parts that I didn’t like make it a distant fourth compared to the origial trilogy. That seems to be a theme with Lucas movies…

Fight! Indy spots a black cape dart behind a building through the tumbleweeds. He figures that his opponent will try to get the jump on him. He also wishes this contest involved guns.

Zorro flicks his whip to the rooftop of the old saloon and uses it to pull himself up, securing the higher ground. He slowly moves to the edge of the buiding to peer over where he last saw Indiana Jones. Indy is still standing in place and is looking right back at Zorro’s “hiding” spot.

“Shall we settle this like civilized men?” askes Zorro.

“You’re the one on the roof,” replies Indiana.

Zorro slides down the old bar’s auning to face his opponent and raises his sword. Indy takes the bull whip from his belt and unleashes it upon his foe. The tip of the whip cracks just short of Zorro’s sword hand. “Fencing isn’t my strong suit,” says Indy.

Zorro darts ahead, flailing his cape as projection from the sting of the whip and lunges forward the point of his blade. Indy narrowly escapes with a cut across his abdomin. Jones catches Zorros attacking arm in his whip and swings him to the ground. The sword is flung out of reach. Zorro then rolls out of the way of the next attack while tosses the dry earth in Indy’s eyes. Jones is angered by the tatic and manages to tackle Zorro without the use of his vision.

Both brawlers wrestle it out, now weaponless. Indy kicks Zorro off his person and away from the sword, allowing himself to claim the weapon. Zorro quickly regains his footing only to be knocked unconsious by the blunt handle of the sword.

Results: Indiana Jones proves the winner of fortune and glory. Well, at least glory.
