INDIANA JONES' Whip Goes Up For Auction and Could Fetch $500,000, But it Belongs in a Museum — GeekTyrant
Cue the John Williams fanfare and put on your fedora, Indiana Jones' iconic bullwhip from Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade is hitting the auction block. And if you've got $500,000 just lying around, you might just be able to take it home. The whip is up for grabs through Propstore this September and it comes with the full rig, which includes holster, belt, and all. It was used by Harrison Ford in the 1989 Spielberg adventure film. The whip is an eight-foot beast crafted by David Morgan, 'the master whipmaker who supplied all the original whips for the classic Indiana Jones trilogy,' according to the auction house's press release. This particular set is the only known whip/holster/belt combo from the film in private hands, previously owned by an anonymous 'production source' who worked on The Last Crusade . It's never been up for sale before, and considering the provenance, it's unlikely to surface again anytime soon. The whip also carries some production tags linking it to the famous 'Rideaway Scene,' as well as a 'production-used call sheet' tied to the thrilling motorcycle chase filmed in Marin County, California. But that's not all—there's reason to believe it was used earlier in production during shoots in the UK and Spain as well. According to Propstore: 'The whip and holster remain secured by metal wire ties added by the props team to hold the set together. The whip also bears dark markings from previous bindings, consistent with how it was worn coiled on Indy's belt during filming.' Estimated to fetch between $250,000 and $500,000, this isn't exactly an impulse buy. But for the right collector, this is the kind of thing you don't stash on a shelf, you build an alter for it. Now, if you don't have that kind of money, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade is swinging back onto the big screen for Father's Day weekend, courtesy of Fathom Events. Catch it June 14-15 and 18 in select theaters nationwide.

THE EMPIRE STRICKES BACK Reimagined with Darth Vader as the Hero — GeekTyrant
What if Darth Vader wasn't the tyrant we've all feared, but the misunderstood hero trying to save the galaxy from chaos? A new parody video amusingly reframes Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back by painting Vader as the peace-seeking savior, while Luke, Yoda, and Han are just reckless troublemakers throwing wrenches into his plans. With the tagline 'Darth Vader tries to save the galaxy, but Luke Skywalker, Yoda and Han Solo get in his way,' this clever re-edit takes one of the most iconic films in the Star Wars saga and turns it into a dramatic tale of misjudged intentions and galactic betrayal. It's a fun reminder that perspective is everything and that maybe Vader just needed better PR.
