So the story goes, the famous Indiana-Jones-shoots-crazy-sword-wielder-instead-of-exhaustingly-dueling-him scene arose because Harrison Ford was tired (and sick?) at the end of a long day of physical shooting. When they were meant to start filming the exhausting duel, Ford just pulled out his gun with his weary-yet-smug expression and "bang". Somebody - presumably everybody - realized that this was much better than the exhausting duel, and they kept it.
