color of Indys popper ?

[e.m.t. jones]

Im sure somebody has already aked, but does anybody know what color the popper was in raiders. Sometimes it looks like its yellow or white o me

The Raiders bullwhip that was auctioned off a couple years ago on eBay had the standard black nylon popper on it. I suppose others could have been used during filming as needed. Most of the other screen used bullwhips I’ve seen from the other 2 movies used the black nylon poppers too or where missing them all together.

The poppers on the props, as Borton says, were black as far as any of us can tell.

However, black poppers CAN look white and sometimes yellow on screen sometimes if they're backlit, or the light catches them just right to the point that the shiny nylon is reflecting the color of the lights, (white for normal work, and yellow to get that more "Warm" look that the Indy films are known for.)

All the best,
