Harrison Ford Pulling Out of Indy 4 Due To Bull Whip Dilemma?
This next story is a pretty silly one, and I must preface it by expressing some measure of doubt as to its validity. Dark Horizons reports that production on Indiana Jones 4 has hit a bit of a snag with regards to safety regulations. It seems that insurance won’t cover Harrison Ford on the movie set if he has a real bull whip in his hands, and so the proposed alternative will be to insert a computer generated bull whip instead. Ford has rightfully called the situation “ridiculous” and has threatened to pull out of the film if he can’t use a real bull whip. Hollywood, we have a problem.
Now when you consider some of the crazy stunts they train real actors to do in movies nowadays, somehow a bull whip doesn’t sound all that dangerous to me. Granted I don’t know much about it, but I assume Ford was trained to use it in the previous Indy flicks too. I’ve tried to locate the source of this rumour (Dark Horizons credits Monsters & Critics) without any success. Until I hear more, I am going to label this bull whip rumour nothing more than a bunch of BULL. I certainly hope so, because let’s face it — Harrison Ford has one foot in the grave already, and if they delay this thing further it won’t matter how dangerous his stunts are!

My theory is that people are just so hungry for any kind of news about the new Indiana Jones flick and the producers have been so tight-lipped, so now people are just making shit up to satisfy their cravings. There’s no way Harrison Ford would ever pull out of this film, even if he had to whip an actual bull.
