Trash science like this and you may well be toe-to-toe with scimitars. Kept up on your fencing lessons?

The scene was supposed to be a long drawn out sword fight. But Harrison Ford was hungover and not really ready for the action, so he ad-lib'ed pulling out the pistol and shooting the Arab.
Spielberg liked the idea and left it in.
