The entire crew got ill and shortened a scene

One of the most memorable moments in the first film 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' is when Indy watches on unimpressed as a swordsman beckons him to fight before the hero guns down his enemy. However, there’s a deeper story behind the scene!

During production on the 1981 movie, all of the cast and crew suffered from severe food poisoning in Cairo, with the exception of Spielberg who had only eaten tins of spaghetti.

The fight scene between Jones and the swordsman was initially meant to be a lot longer, but due to his illness, Ford pulled the director aside and said: "Steven, why don't we just shoot this guy?"
