Lawrence Kasdan hated the shooting the swordsman scene


Screenwriter Lawrence Kasdan was not a fan, believing that the improvised change actually hurt the character of Indy as well as the movie itself.

The iconic status of the character and this scene renders his opinion completely useless, no matter who he is.

It's place in cinematic history speaks for itself.

Indy taking out that sword-swinging raghead with his pistol is one of the best scenes in the whole franchise.

Him, Abrams and one other. No telling who should be blamed for that clunker.
