Apparently that scene was improvised by Harrison Ford - it was supposed to be the "definitive" movie sword vs whip fight, but Harrison Ford had the sh*ts and couldn't move without fouling his britches, so he ad-libbed...
... and the rest, as they say, is film history
.... and I've just read the rest of the thread and seen that some knowitall has beaten me to it .....
I just wish this plot device was used in more films to cut out all the boring crap. Especially with sword fights. I used to fence and I know that real sword fights were very short and to the point (as it were).
Nobody expended energy on jumping up on tables or swinging from chandaliers.
The aim was to stab your opponent or sever his juggular vein - as soon as you could.

I used to live nearby (about 1km) from that estate. I never understood why the residents of Kingston just didn't band together and buy out the Cambridge estate, then level it. It would have increased their house prices no end, at least the ones near the estate.
