: 1) How realistic are the sound effects of the bullwhip in the movies? I love them because they sound really meaty - especially the sound when it moves through the air before it cracks (Raiders being the best source for these sounds, in my opinion).

: 2) Has anyone been in a position to compare a David Morgan and its Mark Allen equivalent? Is the Mark Allen an exact replica? At about a hundred dollars cheaper it seems an excellent bargain if it is.

: Many thanks,

I own a David Morgan bullwhip, and I can tell you this: it does
sound like the whip in Raiders. Longer whips crack more readily,
and mine is the #456 12-foot model. Although all sound effects in
a movie are dubbed and created in post-production, I'm almost
certain that they used a David Morgan bullwhip. (Most of the sounds
recorded on location aren't good enough to be used in the final mix.
But yes, the Morgan bullwhip does sound like that; particularly
the sound the lash makes when it slashes through the air. (And it
has a nice, resounding CRACK! as well).
