Thats right, he had horrible dysentery and they were shooting this complicated fight seen, Ford said: "why can't I just shoot the f*cker?" So they did.
Also, my husband and his fellow "All White People Are Orientalists" crowd HATE this scene with a passion as well as the entire movie. Too bad this is one of my favorite scenes AND favorite movie series of all time :D
Almost all of the cast had dysentery and were really sick when they were shooting in Cairo; it was also around 110-120 degrees. Ford did this as a kind of joke with the other actor in on it because they kept re-shooting this scene, Ford was exhausted and sick as a dog. Spielberg thought it was great and put it in the movie. John Rhys-Davies talks about it in interviews. Davis was so sick he couldn't hold his bowels at times when shooting; nobody gave him a bad time because they were all ill.
Watch, Lucas is going to make Spielberg change it back so that Indy doesn't shoot first for the blu-ray release. Just like Han doesn't shoot Greedo first LOL!
@MrHEC381991 actually everyone on set was sick because of the heat and Harrison pulled out gun and shoot him as a joke. However Steven and George loved it and they put it into the moive
@JasonWestenra Actually I think he had the stomach flu and it was really hot there and they could'nt get the whip scene to work because he was tired, they went with the gun thing not sure how people would react, luckily it was one of the best scenes in the movies.
@DaShonuff : I book I read about movie history said he had a bad hangover. It really doesn't matter - either way, he didn't want to fight, and created one of the greatest scenes of all time. =)
I saw this film with my dad. When he saw this scene he was so excited: "Yes! Why don't they all do that? I've been saying this for years! Bang! No more bad guy!"
this is not just a scene this shows the world that the gun was made to stop an arab because aint no way in hell you can beat them with a sword but portugal lost a war to yemen and portugal had rifles and yemen had swords
@zatoth13 it dont have to when that day comes u will know the truth i just hope me and u meet that day so i can laugh in ur face and tell u i told u so i hate it 2 be that way but its ur fault
I'd laugh if Indiana got his revolver out, started spinning it around like that swordsman, then shot him in the head with a change of expression and said, "You wish...".
Fact: They cut out the whip and sword scene because Harrison Ford injured his back during filming, and decided a simple gun shot would suffice. (And because guns are way cooler than swords!)
nearly all the cast was sick, they were all tired and he wasn't bothered to do the scene so he just shoots him inside. quick and easy. always the way to go with indie.
I was hoping to find the deleted scene where Indy rides the periscope on the sub to the deserted island where they open the Ark. I have a photo of it in the book "The Making of Raiders Of The Lost Ark"
Harrison Ford is so good at cutting to the chase. He also vastly improved the scene in Empire Strikes Back when Han was getting frozen. In the script Han answered Leia's "I love you" with "I love you too." Harrison said no way would Han say that and came up with his classic "I know". He's a great bullshit detector, that guy.
I saw a recent interview with Karen Allen on this and yes the whole crew was ill; except for Spielberg but there was a slightly different take on this that Karen told. The guy they hired to play the swordsman was a glorified extra who had no clue how to use a sword. This was a 3 page fight scene that the poor guy just could not get right. Harrison, tired of take after take pantomimed shooting the guy. The crew thought it was hilarious and that's how it went down. They then reshot it that way
That's pretty much the story that I've heard. They tried shooting the scene all day to no avail and Ford got frustrated and shot him, and the rest is history.
lol The legend goes that Harrison Ford contracted dysentry while they were shooting this in Tunisia and after doing exhuasting fight scene retakes he was so weak he decided to just cut to the chase by shooting the guy which the other actor was crestfallen by after spending so long choreographing his own moment in the sun of film lmaoo gotta love Harrison.
Bad Guy: Take this! And this! And you'll soon get a taste of this!
Indy: I've just fought several guys single handed, busted my butt getting through a crowd of thousands of people, I'm sweaty, and I'm looking for someone...You expect me to fight fair?
"Junior, just remember - He pulls out a knife - you pull out a gun. He sends one of yours to the hospital? You send one of his to the morgue. That's the Chicago way..."
funny story with this! The reason he shot him instead of the big sword fight they had planned was he got sick because of some bad water he drank on set and so he did that instead of what was planed... it fit so well and was so damn funny they left it like this XD
@SteinbrecherBack Harrison Ford had dysentery (the runs) and wasn't about to do the scene again so he just said "Fuck it" and shot the guy. If you look at his face it even screams FUCK IT as he's taking the gun out.
@SteinbrecherBack To be honest the guy with the sword did a great job just rolling with it since it's said that this little gem was actually the first and only take using the gun.
They did not remove this scene because it was racisit or politically incorrect. According to teh DVD extras harrison Ford was worn out that day and after not getting the scene just right Harrison (Tired) asked why he couldnt just shoot the guy, lucas said okay and they ran with it.
@JanHBuch I don't know why people keep on bustin lucas for that han scene in star wars, it ended up preety cool, han leans his head to avoid the shot and shots the bounty hunter, is also cool. Is not better or worse than the original scene it was just different so the movies could have something new... I don't think it spoils the caracter in any way...
@lauwalk The difference is that the original Han was a cool badass, who blew people away in bars who were no obvious threat to him. The new one is some kinda Han ninja who can dodge incoming blaster rounds, and who never would be evil enough to shoot first.
they actually did it the way they did it (having Indiana Jones shoot him) because Harrison Ford had the flu at the time and doing the stunts was really tiresome. Eventually he just said "why doesn't Indiana just shoot the guy?" and everyone was like "BRILLIANT!"
That's true. The final scene was Harrison's idea. He was very sick with diarrhea, I think it was something to do with the really hot weather. He was supposed to use the bullwhip to fight the swordsman. I think he only told Steven Spielberg and George Lucas he was going to do this. They thought this final scene was great, and kept it for the movie.
@GnarlyCharlie2000 AND is well known throughout the globe. I don't believe Harrison actually told the directors he would do that, but the rest was pure fact!
After this film I realized what Adventure movie means! It was full of action, funny and entertaining scenes. Harrison Ford and Karen Allen were stunning. Too bad Karen was absent in 2nd and 3rd movies.
I saw this movie in the theater when I was 10 years old many times. This scene brought the the theater to hysterics every time. One of the biggest reactions the audience would have was this and the faces melting at the end. Great movie and a big part of my youth. I wish all of you could have seen this on the big screen as kids.
Yeah, Harrison Ford came up with the alternate gun version. He had a nasty stomach bug the day of shooting and just sort of came up with "Hey, instead of a whole fight scene, what if I just shoot him instead?" Spielberg thought it was a great idea and the rest is history.

I saw this movie in the theater when I was 10 years old many times. This scene brought the the theater to hysterics every time. One of the biggest reactions the audience would have was this and the faces melting at the end. Great movie and a big part of my youth. I wish all of you could have seen this on the big screen as kids.

Yeah, Harrison Ford came up with the alternate gun version. He had a nasty stomach bug the day of shooting and just sort of came up with "Hey, instead of a whole fight scene, what if I just shoot him instead?" Spielberg thought it was a great idea and the rest is history.
