Who knows what length whips were used in the trilogy?

Hello IndyFans!

I just wanted to know what the lengths were when Ford used a whip. I am cracking with a 10 foot whip and I find it too heavy for Ford/Indy to use as a weapon. A 8 foot is a perfect length IMO of course. Long enough to get distance and short enough to crack fast. I know in the Cairo fight scene he used a 8 foot and when he wraps dad around the leg on the tank in LC, he used a 6 foot DM. What length was used when he fights off the 2 Thugees(then 50) in ToD? When he wraps the lamp in ToD? Wraps the trunk of the elephant in the Temple of Doom? Swings across the pit in the Peruvian temple? Sorry for jumping film to film. Making this post as I go. Wrapping Willy? Wrapping the wires to rescue dad in LC? Many thanks in advanced! I am actually using this info to help me decide which length DM or MA to get. Thanks again! Have a good one! And I know he always had a 10 foot DM in his holster.

Best Regards,
Indiana Jun
