Interesting read
I'm already trying to think of others.

I can supply you with a few more that also fit the bill
Danny and Peachy in The Man Who Would Be King, venture to a far off country where they are mistaken for gods. One of them is cast down a pit while the other is burned "for a 1000 years". One of them "miraculously" survives a fatal wound due to his British army chest armour. They teach the natives the art of war, just as Azazel taught humanity the art of war. And so on.

This film was remade in a sci-fi setting as Stargate with one of the characters retaining the same name, Danny. But what befalls Daniel and Kurt Russell's characters mirrors what happens to two in TMWWBK. Mistaken for gods etc etc.

This was then remade as The Road to El Dorado, an animated Disney feature, but it's again, the exploits of the same two characters.

There's a checklist of attributes that, once you know them, becomes almost impossible not to notice. They can never get all the attributes in every given movie becuase the genres change, some don't allow supernatural stuff and whatnot, but they always manage at least half a dozen.

If you ever see the hero fall, hang and survive a seemingly fatal wound so that his enemies think he's dead, it's a safe bet you have a candidate for one of the inverted hermeneutic movies.
