At the height of his career Harrison Ford, Han Solo actor He became one of the most legendary heroes in movie history. The interpreter put on his hat, grabbed the whip and became Indiana Jones to interpret the magnificent trilogy of the 80s. His success has been so great that now we can enjoy the fifth installment with Indiana Jones and the Dial of Fate.
However, it all started in 1981 with Indiana Jones Raiders of the Lost Ark, a tape produced by George Lucas and under the direction of the maestro Steven Spielberg. One of the most remembered anecdotes of the production has to do with the proliferation of dysentery among the team, including Ford himself.
Despite the spread of the disease, the director was spared from the plague, as dysentery can be contracted through contact with contaminated food or water by bacterial infection. Taking this into account, the actor has explained in a CNN interview How did Spielberg manage not to suffer from the symptoms?
“We had to shoot a four-day scimitar and whip fight in a market. I had dysentery. So did many of the crew. Steven didn’t, because every time he showered, he would tape his mouth, and he would travel with a trunk full of Spaghetti-O’s”
That is to say, Spielberg grabbed the flag of caution to the extreme. Every time she had to shower, she covered her mouth with duct tape to prevent water from leaking through her mouth. The most curious thing is that it was transporting huge quantities of Spaghetti-O’s cans, an American brand of canned pasta with tomato sauce. This is how she ate during that time as long as dysentery did not settle in her body.
