Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })That Man from Rio (L'homme de Rio) is a 1964 French action-adventure farce directed by Philippe de Broca and starring Jean-Paul Belmondo and Françoise Dorléac.The film begins in Paris where a ancient statuette is stolen from a museum, and Professor Catalan, an expert on the statuette, is kidnapped. Menawhile, Airman Adrien Dufourquet is beginning a week's leave to visit his girlfriend, Agnes (Dorléac), whose father was a colleague of Catalan, and who had a Maltec statuette of his own, its location known only to Agnes. Agnes is soon kidnapped as well, and Adrien gives chase to the captors, leading him to Rio, Brasilia, and the Amazon jungle, with adventure and fun at every turn.Many consider the film to be one of the inspirations for the Indiana Jones franchise.

Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Professor Catalan, a mousy, academic archaeologist who is kidnapped by folks who had just stolen a Mesoamerican statue which is the key to a vast treasure. The protagonists rescue him around mid-film, unaware that he'd staged his own kidnapping and is after the treasure himself, along the way, murdering a former colleague and abducting a young lady he had been a surrogate 'favorite uncle' to.

Bait-and-Switch: The lair collapses as soon as the treasure is found, as if an old trap or curse had been activated. It is however revealed soon after to be due to road construction vehicles plowing through the forest.

Answer Cut: "Where's Catalan?", says Adrien. Cut to Catalan in the cave, setting up the statues to reveal where the treasure is.
