Reply to comment by Gloomy_Travel7992 in "Shrinking" is making me realize Hollywood fucked up by not putting Harrison Ford in more comedy roles. His dead pan comedic timing is impeccable and hilarious. by Bluest_waters

>Also the look he gives the sword guy in Raiders of the Lost Ark before shooting him

He was sick as hell with food poisoning and was supposed to do a fight scene with him. They improvised the shooting because he felt so bad. That look was probably real.

Spielberg had a footlocker of Spaghetti Os he was living off of and didn't get sick. IIRC.

And he missed out on all that delicious North African cuisine as a result. I'd rather take my chances of getting dysentery.

I probably wouldn't risk it until after they wrapped. A sick director is a huge expense.

The smart move would be to travel as part of the advance team. If you're going to get sick, do so early on so you'll hopefully be over it and unlikely to have a recurrence once you move into production with everyone on site.

This is one of those comments that you can guarantee will be in a thread if the article mentions Harrison Ford

Goddamnit, people please. No one asked about this. I get that you want it to be the new/even older "Leo cut his hand", but please stop. It doesn't have to be thrown into every thread about Ford.

And to think you wasted your time typing up a whiny post about it
