9 More Movie Moments IMPOSSIBLE To Watch The Same Way After This
9. Sean Connery Wasn't A Fan Of One Part Of An Action Scene - Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade
Joining the likes of the iconic boulder escape in Raiders of the Lost Ark and the thrilling mining cart chase in Temple of Doom, Steven Spielberg's Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade brought with it a number of other terrific action sequences.
Arguably the most exciting of the lot involved Indy trying to rescue his father Henry and Marcus from a Nazi-controlled tank, and it was during this pulsating sequence - one that sees Harrison Ford chasing down the vehicle on a horse and Sean Connery fending off Nazis within it - that the latter encountered a little issue.
You see, according to Mike Dawson, one of the special effects technicians who worked on the flick, Connery wasn't actually the biggest fan of the smoke being pumped into the tank.
As Dawson would recall on The Stuff of Dreams podcast (via ScreenRant), the combination of oil and gas needed to create this hot smoke irritated the 007 legend so much, he eventually turned to the special effects tech and told him, "If you put that anywhere near me again, I’ll shove it up your *ss."
Dawson understandably feared he was about to be decked by James Bond himself in the moment, but an aggravated Connery did at least calm down a little while after.
Knowing just how much the Scottish superstar genuinely despised the hot smoke surrounding him throughout this exhilarating sequence, though, certainly alters the way you watch Henry Jones Sr. proving the pen is mightier than the sword.
