Who Made This One??

Post by ecwhips »

Who do you guys think made this whip? Was it Paul Nolan or Terry Jacka?? You'll realize that I'm being sarcastic here as soon as you see the whip. :P This one's even better than the last one he had for auction!

Probably came from a dime store. Don't believe anything e-bay says. I've seen guys who claimed a straw hat was one of the original Indy fedoras. :junior: -IJ

What's even funnier is that shipping is $12.95 and the current bidding is $2.25.

That's unbelievable and sad that people would think that's a real prop from the movie. That premierprops is definitely a ripoff with $12.95 S&H too.

Anyone know of INDY 4 whips yet? I have been anticipating this movie for a long time and it seems to move so slow.

while this whip is indeed a joke, I guess it could be possible that it was used as a practice whip, to let the stars practice the scene with the softer nylon whip thrown together without getting ripped to shreds by kangaroo hide whips. Besides wasn't a lot of the whips in Rundown CGI, they could've been used for reference with the actors without injuring them. Just a theory, but yes this is a very poor example of any kind of normal whip.

yikes,
thats a big joke! well most ebay whips are anyways.
I dont think that its a possiblity at all lindiana. Ropes
do not react the same as a whip does at all. There is
a big diffrence between the 2. Cool Idea
though.
