I can imagine they might, but I havent noticed that before. Can you refer to some other cases?I'm not him, but right off the top of my head there is this...
American units fighting Moro guerrillas during the Philippine-American War using the then-standard Colt M1892 revolver, in .38 Long Colt, found it to be unsuitable for the rigors of jungle warfare, particularly in terms of stopping power, as the Moros had very high battle morale and frequently used drugs to inhibit the sensation of pain.[9]

A meth-head that’s also bi-polar. Interesting combo.

You do know the backstory on that scene, right? As written, it was supposed to be a much longer fight sequence. Harrison Ford was sick on the day of shooting for the scene... something like explosive diarrhea and dehydration, ane he realoy wasn’t up for the whole elaborate sequence... so they changed the scene to what everyone saw in the final cut.
At least that’s what I’ve been told.

With all the Rambo-ing going on in KKKollyforneya lately, with all the dog killing, people killing, "mistaken-breakins", etc... They used a beanbag on this guy. Is it because he yelled "allah ackbar?"
Helpful Hint: If the po-leece ever knock won your door, with guns drawn, just yell "ALLAH ACKBAR!!!" , and they'll use the safe stuff on you.

Harrison Ford was sick on the day of shooting for the scene... something like explosive diarrhea and dehydration, ane he realoy wasnt up for the whole elaborate sequence... so they changed the scene to what everyone saw in the final cut. At least thats what Ive been told. That's close to what I read .... similar about him being sick and all. The twist I read was that him pulling the gun was originally an ad-lib. Harrison Ford was past exasperated, and he just pulled out the gun and made as if to shoot the sword fighter. The director (I guess) decided it was better than making Ford do it over yet again the way it was scripted, and it was just so over-the-top comical (it's almost like a RoadRunner cartoon in a way), so they used the twist with the gun for keeps.
Note that in the final film his gun emits smoke, and the sword fighter immediately jumps and drops -- instead of giving Ford a "WTF?" or "Huh?" look. I'm pretty sure the original ad-lib wasn't used in the final, but rather they re-shot it so that it looked right with the effects.
In any case, one of the absolute best moments in modern films.

Does it sound like he’s yelling, “Thank god, thank god”!
I don’t think so.
