My favorite story about that film concerns the scene in the market where Indiana lines up against the huge scimitar-wielding Egyptian chap. The audience spies an epic fight: sword v. whip, but Jones hauls out his .45 and shoots him.
I read an interview with Harrison Ford when he said the script called for the epic fight. They were filming very early—around 0430, I think—and Ford said to the director, 'Why don't I just shoot this chap?' (Actually, he didn't say 'chap'. What he said started with the same letter and had the same number of letters, but I digress). The director thought for the mandatory nanosecond and said 'Good idea'.
