You want to know what Maltese-Falcon-meets-Indiana-Jones means? It means the heros are more likely to survive the encounter for no other reason than because they are the heros. It means the bad guys often plot and scheme for years just to have their plans dashed because the protagonist were hired at the last minute to stop them. It means that when the action gets bogged down and the heros don't know what to do next, someone kicks down the door and attacks them.</blockquote>
