Ford Wants Whip or no Indiana Jones
Feb 01, 2007 | Comments 56
There is a fear that Harrison Ford will walk and not make a fourth Indiana Jones movie as he has been told that he cannot use a real whip, Indiana Jones is most famous for the use of his whip to help him get out of situation but he has been told by the studio that is against new health and safety laws to allow him to use a real one so instead a computer generated has to be added in later
Ford has said that this rule is ridiculous and that he will pull out of the new movie unless he gets his whip back

Crazy. What would Indiana Jones be without his whip?
For heaven’s sake! Give Indy his whip! What is this world coming to? And to boot, you’d spot a CGI whip a mile off…
Yeah, that’s right.. in the movie business where stuntmen fly out of exploding buildings and drop 50 stories into inflated bags, Harrison Ford cannot brandish a whip.
This is poorly written drivel to try and get some readers.
No way, this has to be a joke right? Indy with no whip is like a car with no wheels!! Balls to health and saftey laws, give Dr Jones his whip and get on with making the 4th Indy movie!
That’s the dumbest thing I’ve heard all year. Although it could be a blessing in disguise as none of us want this franchise soiled.
I don’t think it’s true. Harrison Ford isn’t known for throwing fits on movie sets. He’s a pretty professional guy from what I read and is good to work with.
As for Indiana without a whip, it says it would be digitally added later. So technically it wouldn’t be Indiana without his whip since Indiana Jones only exists in the movie, like the digital whip.
Throw me the idol!
Big Government regulation does kill dreams, in the real word and now in the movies.
Give Indiana his whip. There’s no way CGI is going to be as effective convincing as the real thing in Ford’s hands.
that is so incredible bull. you cant use a freaking prop? are they going to ban real screwdrivers from the set since they can be used as weapons? no pyrotechnic props because they could be possibly dangerous? legislators need a freaking reality check
How did this get Digged? Too many gullable fools.
On a similar point - it’s a good thing the DeLorean wasn’t limited to 70mph.
I’m so angry at this news I was physically sick.
typical leave it to the american health and safety to take it that step further,, i tell u i am amazed you people can scratch ur **** or is that a health and safety risk?
health and safety has gone too far now, we need to take a step back and think do we really need to claim everythin we fall, cause if you dont then health and safety are out of business.
Whip it…Whip it good.
Thats complete BS.. health & safety gone tits up… give indy the damn whip….so he can do the 4th film…
screw health & saftey… as said above…what they gonna ban next? fireworks…or a screwdriver! stfu & give him the whip!!
Ford is acting like he’s really this adventure seeking character and needs his trusty whip. Dude, you’re an actor, just act. “If I don’t get my whip, I’ll cancel the whole movie.”
You gonna take back your football too so no one else can play?
Don’t be such a baby. Just make the frickin’ movie, whipboy.
Time to Start the “Save Indy’s Whip campaign”
Down With H&S ……… Free Indys Whip !!!!
Forget the computer generated whip, they need to computer generate his wrinkles out, and generate Sean Connery a believable accent whislt they’re at it.
Ford without his whip is like Bush without his brains. Oh, wait…sorry.
Fine. Let him walk then. I can think of a few other actors willing to step in for that multi-million dollar role. The point here is that there are other actors and crew dependent upon that production and a really good actor can overcome even the limits of those health and safety restrictions.
Always knew the “Old Geezer” had a whipping fetish….filthbucket………I wonder why he didnt ask for a walking cain……the man mus be 100 years old by now……I never liked him….but that was mutual ..me thinks…..reminds me off a story..my mother told me long time ago…..but i cant remember it anymore….that are the side effects of consuming to much Marihuana…..ah WTF…….
My final statement will be this………please dont give him back his whip…….just cancel the whole movie….Ive seen Rocky Balboa…and i cant say i liked it….will be the same with “old filthbucket” Ford……
I hope he get pistolwhipped in the near future…….
Greetings from Belgium!
Once again the Brits and the Euros prove that common sense is short supply on that side of the world as well.
Grow up you babies….
Throw me the idol! I throw you the whip!
Amen! I’m sick and tired of Hollywood execs trying to pad the bottom line and ‘protect’ themselves by watering down the quality of movies. I bet you can’t buy an Indiana Jones action figure without a whip, so why would the real Indy want to go without? It’s just a whip! Find the bean counter who made the bad call and take him out back and….whip him!
What in the heck? Will they tell Gunther Gable, the famous Ringling Bros Lion and Tiger Trainer, that he has to use a CGI Chair or Whip too?
just film someplace that allows for it
Won’t someone please think of the children?
CGI whip = incredibly lame.
Go watch the “Ghostrider” trailer if you don’t believe me. (That is, if you can stand the incredible lameness.)
So basically is Indiana joins going to look like the new Star Wars movies with the blatent CGI. If so then please don’t bother ruining another great trilogy. I honestly wish now that CGI hadn’t become so popular it’s done nothing but make movie makers lazy. Oh I don’t have to tell a good story I’ll just show some awesome unrealistic special effects and people with buy it up.
Grampa, put the whip down….
Thank goodness for an actor with a respect for the franchise and some artistic integrity.
Whip or no whip–it hardly matters. In ten years they’ll replace the whip with a walkie-talkie.
The laws should not apply to this if the actor actually WANTS to use a whip. It’s his decision and the studio should not be held reliable for any injuries that may occur.
What a load of horse patoilli. Has anyone been on set with Spielberg? He smokes cigars in a “workplace”, clearly against CA safety laws…but who’s gonna stop him? You can even see him doing this on DVD extra features. In fact, no one would remotely care if Han used a whip on set.
Whois this man were talking about?
I bet my dad can kick his Arse………”Hardrock Hallelujah”
Give it to him! He has all that practice from S&M.
Give him the whip! This is ridiculous. I believe something in the water in California is destroying common sense.
The Indiana Jones trilogy did very well WITHOUT cgi so stick with the same formula. KEEP THE F*&%ing whip you BEAN COUNTERS!!!!
THey need to Grandfather the whip in movies.
I think he should replace it with a”smart dil*o”
huh huh huh huh huh
And I’m not talking about me here,my I.Q. is average
at best.
I’m talkin about sharkin!
No really,they should bring the whip back,if anything
to choke the studio executive that made them remove it in the first place.
HUH? What’s next? Luke’s light saber? Superman’s cape? Fred Flinstones bowling ball? Tarzan out of the jungle?
Take Dwight out of The Office? Batman’s utility belt? Jack Bauer’s cell phone? Stop the insanity!
Stick it to them, Mr Ford.
I’m pretty sure the light saber, Fred’s ball and superman’s cape *are* all CGI (though the cape, only recently).
Also, Bean Counters wouldn’t spend MORE money on a whim.
You people make no sense.
That’s the most times I’ve ever seen the word “whip”…
they should just film it in a 3rd world country with no such laws
Well, just go shoot the movie in another country where whips are allowed.
haha, if that randy b****** wants a whip, then give it to him!!! muhwahahahaha
Why not just use CGI instead of real actors? They didn’t have this health and safety law when Christian Bale played in the machinist? He was 119 lbs then! He “mysteriously” (ahem, roids) gained 100 lbs in 4 months to shoot Batman.
Health and safety my ASS
Ford is so old, he should be demanding a wheelchair, not a whip…
sad to say it sounds just STUPID enough to be true…..
He’s named aftere the f….ing dog!!!!
You know what the worst part of this actually is? Not whether or not he gets the whip back, or the movie made, or any of that happy crap. The worst part is how you people ( USA and UK alike, so don’t either one of you retarded countries even step up and speak against the other. You’re BOTH HORRIBLY incorrect) misspell every word you possibly can. I KNOW George Bush has no brain, but while y’all are trying to make that point, you can’t spell correctly. How smart are you? Y’all are terribly sad AND lonely AND boring!! Get off the stupid net and take a walk. Get some air for your poor wee brains. Being online has lowered your I.Q. points exponentially!!
Indiana Jones would not be the same without his jacket, his hat or his whip. I hope people are not disappointed. INDIANA JONES FOR PRESIDENT!!!!!!!
im with ford on this one
This is so fake. How can any of you believe this crap? First off, it sounds like a 3rd grader wrote it. I can’t believe some of your responses either, one person said “this news made me physically sick this morning”. I also love the number of people attacking “health and safety” like it is some kind of entity. What kind of drugs are you people on? Being that the movie is coming out in a couple weeks, it’s obvious that shooting had already started BEFORE this article was written.
You people are so gullible. Why do people believe everything they read?
