From IMDB: The infamous scene in which Indy shoots a marauding and flamboyant swordsman was not in the original script. Harrison Ford was supposed to use his whip to get the swords out of his attacker's hands, but the food poisoning he and the rest of the crew had gotten made him too sick to perform the stunt. After several unsuccessful tries, someone made the off-handed remark, "Why doesn't he just shoot him and get it done and over with?" Steven Spielberg immediately took up the idea and the scene was successfully filmed.

Yeah, the swordsman guy was apparently a bit annoyed that his big-ass sequence just got all cut.

Let's slide this into *actionpack as well.

Adding video to channels (Actionpack) - requested by Krupo.

Best scene of all the movies. It even reminds me of his days as Solo - it just really suits a guy like Ford.

Seriously, this is one of the best movie scenes ever. Indy's like "STFU, nub"

This has been sifted at least two other times in the past and died after a successful run both times, back before the dead pool that is.

This has always been my favorite Indiana Jones scene.
it's the best the first time you see it.

i like how they never show him bathe or chase pussy.....
