Relic Hunter was a television series that ran for three seasons in [[Syndication]] from 1999-2002. Relic Hunters are adventurers who travel the globe to track down lost or stolen objects and return them to their owners or donate them to museums, sometimes for a fee but never working entirely for profit - unless they're this week's bad guy who'll get their comeuppance at the end.

The show sometimes features bursts of cheesy dialogue and various national stereotypes and all violence is carefully [[Discretion Shot|filmed around]] with no visible blood for reasons of transmission time.

* [[Action Girl]]: Sydney Fox.

* [[Action Dress Rip]]: Sydney at a garden party.

* [[Bad Habits]]: Sydney and Nigel dress up as monks/nuns more than once.

* [[Beethoven Was an Alien Spy]]: Many of the plots revolve around a mysterious artifact that granted a historical figure amazing powers.

* [[Disguised in Drag]]: Episode 63 involves Sydney and Nigel dressing as harem dancers to infiltrate a Persian palace.

* [[Doesn't Like Guns]]: Sydney doesn't.

* [[Evil Is Not a Toy]]

* [[Fan Service]]: Sydney took surprisingly little encouragement to strip to her underwear, the season one credits even include a shot of her taking off her top! Also, whenever Nigel gets a [[Shirtless Scene]].

* [[Identical Grandson]]: The Thief of Baghdad was apparently an identical distant ancestor of Sydney's. She also had an identical grandmother who was a singer at the Moulin Rouge.

* [[Incredibly Conspicuous Drag]]: Nigel's harem dancer disguise in episode 63 is not particularly convincing, even with the veil over his face.

* [[Large Ham]]: Many of the differing villains might fit this.
