Red Hide Fall?

Post by Gater »

I was admiring the Raiders 2 photos from Borton's recent thread (beautiful whip I must say!)

it has been my understanding that while ToD and LC used white hide falls, that the Raiders whip used red hide falls. Is this right?

I'm by no means an expert on whips but I thought that the Raiders whip had the white hide fall and the other 3 had red hide. :-k I could be wrong though.
Check the scene when Indy swings across the pit in the idol temple; it looks white to me.

Hope that helps,

Again, no expert, but I think it was whitehide on the first three, but a redhide on the Indy IV.

Actually, I'm pretty positive about the Indy IV being redhide . . .

For trilogy, the fall was whitehide, it looks much darker, obviously not white in some scenes, but it's still whitehide.
For KOTCS, the fall was American Latigo.

Exactly. Daren and Tomek are right. That's what I knew too.
