Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark star John Rhys-Davies shares memories of the cast and crew becoming horribly ill while filming the Steven Spielberg action adventure film. Released in 1981, Raiders of the Lost Ark introduces audiences to Harrison Ford's Indy, a swashbuckling archaeologist questing after the Ark of the Covenant.
The actor recalls how a sick Ford suggested that Indy shoot the sword-wielding assassin in the Cairo market instead of doing a whole prolonged fight scene. Rhys-Davis also shares his own struggles with the stomach bug on set, including confirming a particularly gross behind-the-scenes story. Read the actor's comments below:
“I lost 22 pounds. I don’t know about . All I know is that when Steven… there was sequence where I’m going to be shot by the German cook and he takes me out and… I think we shot it anyway. Steven said, ‘John, can you bend down to give him a better eye line?’ And as I did so I filled my djellaba in front of 200 people and I didn’t care…
“And I hear the key go in the lock, and the little flame of life begins to pick up as the door opens. In comes our wonderful Australian lady doctor. And she doubles over and she says, ‘Oh Christ, John, I see you’ve got it too. Can I use your toilet?’ God died at that moment. I knew there was no hope… I wanted to die.
