- rockforever, on 10/12/2007, -9/+247Computer Generated Whip? Wow. Complete ***** all the way around. If he wants to use a whip let him. Hes Harrison Ford. Han Solo. God damn, grow some balls Hollywood.
- josho, on 10/12/2007, -20/+171I can't believe people are buying this crap. You read two or three poorly written sentences on a poorly designed, random ass website and all of a sudden you believe that Harrison Ford, an actor in the movie business, cannot brandish a whip.
Yes, folks, the same studio insurance policy that prevents handling whips also allows stuntmen to drive out of the 50th floor of an exploding building down into a river. It allows actors to do their own insane, life-threatening stunts; requires them to learn karate and fighting techniques; but it won't allow Ford to use a whip.
Get a brain, morans. Burying as inaccurate. Can't believe the guy's cheap tactic to get some readers actually worked with a premise this idiotic. - PLUMCRAZY, on 10/12/2007, -8/+155Everyone . . . Lets say a collective thank-you to all the lawyers in this country for ruining EVERYTHING ! ! !
Maybe Spielberg could put a CGI walki-talki in his hand. . . lol - OneEye, on 10/12/2007, -0/+74The terrorists have won.
- daRoach, on 10/12/2007, -0/+53What they failed to mention was that the CGI whip was going to be a wisecrackin' whip from the Bronx voiced by Chris Tucker.
- TrueBuckeye, on 10/12/2007, -1/+45Stand your ground Harrison. This movie only has a slight chance of not sucking, so fight every fight you have to in order to make it at least decent.
- daRoach, on 10/12/2007, -1/+37It belongs in a museum.
- JordanM85, on 10/12/2007, -1/+27Meesa hate snakes!
- roughridersfan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+19Jar-Jar Jones!
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+16I agree completely. Good on Ford for fighting stupidity where it hurts them the most: their wallets.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+17@ josho
You had me up until "Get a brain morans". - zeiben, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15>Get a brain, morans. Burying as inaccurate. Can't believe the guy's cheap tactic to get some readers actually worked with a premise this idiotic.
Quit bashing on the Morans. They're way smarter than the O'Tooles. - haydesigner, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15@novusopiate
Don't be so flippant about "guns with blanks"... they can, and have, killed people.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jon-Erik_Hexum
"Hexum apparently did not realize that blanks use paper or plastic wadding to seal gun powder into the shell, and that this wadding is propelled out of the barrel of the gun with enough force to cause severe injury or death if the weapon is fired at point-blank range. Although the paper wadding in the blank that Hexum discharged did not penetrate his head[2], it struck him in the temple with enough force to propel a quarter-sized piece of his skull into his brain. However, even without the wadding, the explosion of the gunpowder created gasses rushing out of the gun barrel with huge force (sufficient to accelerate a metal bullet fast enough to travel more than a mile) and these out-rushing gasses at the end of the gun barrel or very near the end of the barrel pack potentially lethal force." - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+16The fourth movie should be great considering how long they have worked on a script.
@josho
Here is a couple of other sources for the news.

Give the guy his whip... it just won't be the same knowing that he is pretending to use a whip. - AlphAssassin, on 10/12/2007, -5/+13This is coming from a stupid celeb website, why wouldn't they allow him to use a real whip?
- aliguana, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7what about the CG generated Short-Round? cos he's way too old to act that character now.
"Docta Jones! Meesaa found the stone!"
/obvious Jar-Jar gag - lardlung, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5This does remind me of the commentary on the Shawshank Redemption, where the director goes on a minor rant about a particular scene: where Andy finds a maggot in his food, in his early days in prison. Another inmate(Brooks) asks him if he's gonna eat it; Andy says no, so Brooks feeds the maggot to his pet baby crow that's in his jacket pocket.
The point is, the director mentions that a woman from ASPCA was there to monitor not only the crow - but also, the MAGGOT. She wouldn't let him show a live maggot being eaten on screen! Only a dead one... That had died from "natural causes". Otherwise it would be "cruelty to animals for the production of a film". For BAIT.
Hollywood is ***** up. - darthdurden, on 10/12/2007, -3/+8agreed, this is complete *****
i know that the studios as a whole have been pretty retarded in recent years (see the existence of 3 Fast and the Furious movies), but i just don't see this as being legit... a new Indy movie should be a complete cash-cow for them with 3 (hopefully 4, *fingers crossed* for Connery) legendary actor/producer/directors on the film i don't think they are going to let not wanting a 65 year old man carrying a whip around stand in there way of getting it made after 17 or so years in the making... Lucas, Spielberg and ford have so much clout in the industry it would be the dumbest mistake anyone in Hollywood has made in a long time as i don't think it would make any of them pleased at all
my guess is that this "article", is that someone that is still pissed about greedo shooting first and walkie-talkies in ET (not that i'm not still angry over both) made this up as someone of a quasi-believeable joke to say how ridiculous things have become
now lets just hope that I'm not proven wrong - Sgurdcrimp, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5what the *****, why does everything have to be CGI?????????
AGAINST SAFETY RULES? Since when could a billion dollar corp. not provide
enough money for their millionaire actors to save their death from an open wound
caused by a whip?
sounds quite ridiculous to me - batchgc, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Next Week: Daniel Craig's Walther PPK replaced with Rubber Truncheon
"No, Mr Bond, I expect you to pummel me with your floppy novelty." - cuoops, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Who wants an orange whip? Orange whip? Orange whip? Three orange whips.
- AriaStar, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Next think you know he'll be strapped to a wheel chair and moved around by a person later digitally removed because hem might fall and break his hip. Hey, it's all health and safety!

http://femalefirst.co.uk/entertainment/Ford+demands+whip-29791.html - Konrad9, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Simple solution.
Go film it in another country. - jms38, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3If Ford can't use a real whip then the terrorist have won.

hmm link seems bad, better copy and paste. - alpinem5, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5this sounds too much like george lucas's doing. LUCAS! GRRRRR
- idigital, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Well, for those claiming this has been made up by that site, a quick google found the source of this story here - http://www.starpulse.com/news/index.php/2007/02/01/harrison_ford_will_quit_indiana_jones_4_
Which was linked as the source in an entry on a german Indiana Jones fan site here - http://www.indianajones.de/ - jordansampson, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Screw it ... its time for a new rambo anyway. You know Rocky wont care if they CGI his knife.
- Trigonometron, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I am tired of this pussy, politically correct, lawsuit-happy society.
- rocjoe71, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3No problem, these are /American/ rules... The simple answer is to look to Mexico's, non-union equivalent to Steven Spielberg.
Senor Spielbergo has already brought us such classics as "Yucatan Jones" and "Shindler's Lift"--a biopic about the inventor of the forklift. - JordanM85, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4I wouldn't be surprised if Ford walked, and then Lucas just put him in CGI too. Might as well just make it a cartoon movie.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+6This is *****.
- LACHRYMIST, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4If you can't put a real whip in Indiana Jones, then there should be no Indiana Jones 4. Plenty of other crappy movies to go waste $10 on.
- dn11, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2This has got to be a ***** joke?! A computer generated whip>??? ***** YOU hollywood
- frozendice, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2First off his performance would suffer. If the guy isn't into it it wont' look very good. Also what if he holds his hand wrong so they can't edit in right? It's going to look crap.
- pveltrent, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2DAMN IT
dude, they better not eff this up like starwars. I wish they would do this like they did the first 3. Same effects....
way to be mr. ford... - mandarin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Of all the actors, Harrison Ford is still the man's man. Not like those fruity ones like Tom Cruise or John Travolta.
- garyh84, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2He's not into Scientology either, like Tom Cruise or John Travolta.
- cyssero, on 04/18/2009, -0/+2Yeah, I too thought it had to do with some sponsorship deal between the Ford Motor Company and Indie. I was mistaken :)
- darthdurden, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2"but Thrice Fast Thrice Furious had the hottest girls and best car scenes of the whole franchise."
I wasn't really saying that the third movie should have been made, i was saying that none of them should exists... that comment is the reason such ***** movies come out of hollywood lately... films rarely have any substance anymore - Heiliger, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3It may not be his doing, but I'm guessing he's not fighting the studio on it.
(reading health clause)
"Oh... no real whip... oh well.. we'll just CG it in later along with Marcus."
"Maybe we'll just CG the fedora too... then we won't have to worry about having it blow off." - TheCoreman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Harrison Ford practiced using a whip for the first movie. Come on guys let him use it again. It wouldn't look as realistic if it was a CG whip! No whip - No Indy. I agree 100%!
- EbowUK, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5It was on the internets.
It must be true!!!!!!!111 - RuffRidr, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Let me guess, the bullwhip is now banned as an "assault weapon" in California.
- TechLaw, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2How is he supposed to BECOME Indie without his signature whip? Would you take the .44 Magnum away from Eastwood?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2No real whip??? HAHA!
Great..the democrats are pussifying California even more than it already is! - BGFeltenink, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Didn't you see Polar Express?
- sierracharlie, on 12/15/2008, -0/+1very interesting find http://NEWTRADEYOU.INFO
- Toast1185, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I searched high and low for a video of the SNL skit, but I couldn't find it. I didn't find the transcript though, for the whipmaster: http://snltranscripts.jt.org/92/92nwhipmaster.phtml
Thats the first thing I thought of when I read this story -
