The Ark. If it is there, at Tanis, then it is something that man was not meant to disturb. Death has always surrounded it. It is not of this earth.

I love the story behind this scene, more than I like the scene itself. Which was there was supposed to be a big epic fight between the two of them, Harrison Ford was sick, and getting more and more frustrated with not getting it right, pulled his gun shot his opponent (blanks obviously), who fell down all actor-like, and that’s the scene that they kept.
Which seems to be a running thing in Harrison Ford’s career, where his best most memorable scenes, are ad libbed. “I love you” “I know” wasn’t scripted, all they knew was Han saying “I love you too,” did not work, and Harrison Ford somewhere in the mess of trying to come up with new lines said, “I know” which turned out to be one of the most memorable lines from the movies.
the biggest reason i will never become a master swordsman.
the world is different than it used to be.
This is why Harrison Ford is actually a great actor.
Everything he does, even off the script, is totally in character.
