Alan Smithee
Remember the Twilight Zone? It was popularly known to be directed by Alan Smithee, but the name was only a pseudonym. Twilight Zone’s episodes were crafted by several directors, many disliking the gesture of putting their names in the credits.

Indiana Jones
It turns out that the character Indiana Jones was inspired by a real person – Hiram Bingham III. He was a Yale professor and adventurer. In fact, he was most famous for coming across the Machu Picchu ruins. It makes sense there are plenty of similarities between him and Indiana, but the biggest homage to Hiram is the opening scene of Raiders of the Lost Ark. It was set a mere stone’s throw away from the Machu Picchu ruins.
