Last Crusade Morgan Up For Auction

Post by GrailHunter »

https://propstore.com/featured/indiana- ... -bullwhip/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Indiana Jones' (Harrison Ford) bullwhip from Steven Spielberg's adventure sequel Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Synonymous with his character, Jones carried his bullwhip throughout his adventures in all four Indiana Jones films. This particular whip was created for various scenes including the rescue at Castle Brunwald, where Jones swings from electric cables to reach the room holding his father, Henry Jones Sr. (Sean Connery).

Under the supervision of Glenn Randall, stunt co-ordinator for Raiders of the Lost Ark, Ford learned how to use the bullwhip between takes. By the time they came to film the third instalment, he was considered a whip expert; a major achievement for the actor, who injured his wrist in an earlier career as a carpenter.

The bullwhip was made by master whip maker David Morgan, who also made whips for Catwoman (Michelle Pfeiffer) and Zorro (Antonio Banderas). It is 10 feet long and constructed from 12-plait, natural tan kangaroo hide, with a ball-and-loop detail at the end of the handle.

Accompanying the whip is a letter of authenticity written by Bronco McLoughlin. McLoughlin was a stunt performer and wrangler for the film, as well as serving on Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. Also included is a 13" x 19" photograph in a rustic brown wooden frame. Autographed by Ford in blue marker, the photo depicts Jones wielding his whip. Displaying signs of natural wear from the production, the fall component shows minor leather fraying and cracking. Dimensions (unfurled): 334 cm x 4 cm x 4 cm (131 1/2" x 1 1/2" x 1 1/2")

Anyone know the price?

Obviously too much for me, but I don't want to register to find out.

Saw the whole thing on display at Comic Con last month. Along with the voodoo doll from TOD, as well as a few other Indy items, and many other awesome costumes and props from other movies going up for auction this year. So awesome!

Daaaaaang, that's a lot of whip right there!!! =P~

But you could get about 150-200 new whips for that much money. Or a couple of complete Indy gear sets.
