Well, how is a man expected to do his job properly without a decent whip? I ask you, what were they going to give him? Mind you, I bet he's got a few tucked away somewhere. Bless.... anyway, here's the story.

Harrison Ford has stated that he will pull out of the new Indiana Jones movie if he is not allowed to use a real whip. The sixty-four-year-old actor who plays the heroic archaeologist was told that "weapons" like whips are no longer used in films because of the danger they pose and that he must pretend to use a whip which will then be digitally imposed after shooting.

Ford is having none of this and has called the rule "ridiculous," and that he wouldn?t be playing Indiana if the rule was enforced.

Indiana Jones 4 is due for release next year.

Funny, I have done 400 or more radio shows in the last year and loads of them called me the Bristish Indiana Jones. I can see only one option now, I have to get myself a real whip. Wonder what my sweet little English wife will say....
