I heard that a few of the local extras beat up HF on the set because someone joked that Ford had said something nasty about them (He actually hadn't...). I remember Ford talking about that incident in an interview once.
My conspiracy theory is that Ford decided to stick it to the locals by seemingly contracting enteritis. That gave him the needed excuse for shortening the elaborately planned duel "a bit". So he just shot the big bully like a rabid dog. ;)

: Get this guys. My film professor was analyzing Raiders of the Lost Ark this past week in class and said that

: "Raiders wasn't about the 30s, it was about the 80s. For example, when Indiana Jones pulls his gun and shoots the evil, black clad swordsman in almost cold blood, that's a direct comment on Ronald Reagan's foreign policy towards the middle east during his administration."

: I almost fell out of my chair laughing.
