(Tangent: in that scene, Harrison Ford was running a high fever. They’d already done two takes of a prolonged whip-vs-sword scene, and were about to do a third. Sick & tired, Ford improvised the “just shoot him” scene which ended up in the movie.)

Actually, Ford ad-libbed that scene and the other actor played along. He was actually supposed to fight the swordsman with his whip. But Ford was so sick with food poisoning (along with most of the cast and crew) that he didn’t have the energy so he just shot. And it became an iconic scene.
