Having spent the last few months getting heavily involved in the art of whipcraft, I was just wondering if we had any bets on how often Indy will use his whip in KOTCS.
Ever since Raiders, we have seen a sad decline in whip usage. In the first movie, he used it six times. Temple was a strong second with five times. But Crusade was really scraping the bottom with a lackluster three times. Actually two if you don't count River Phoenix. Anyway, I really, really want to see some major whip play in this one.
Mild spoilers here, but from what I've seen from the trailers and behind the scenes video, Indy will use his whip to swing on once or twice in the warehouse, once to pull a gun out of a Soviet's hand, and at least once to wrap around something in the Temple set. So that's already more than the sad two-three times in Last Crusade. It fills me with hope.
I think I'm going to say he's going to use the whip at least five times in KOTCS, and it will be an all around whiptastic time.
