Harrison Ford - Ford Shows-off Whip-cracking Indy Skills

Actor HARRISON FORD proved there were no camera tricks involved in enhancing his whip-cracking skills in the new INDIANA JONES movie - by giving a demonstration on live TV.

The 65-year-old reprises his role as the swashbuckling archaeologist in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, 19 years after the last big screen adventure.

And Ford showed he shares his character's talents with a whip on breakfast show Good Morning America on Thursday (22May08).

With one crack of the whip, Ford catapulted a set of empty milk cartons with a single crack of his Indy whip - the same one he used in the movie.

But Ford was humbled by his seamless stunt, revealing he needed a refresher course, almost two decades after he last picked up the weapon: "I was a bit out of practice, and fortunately we had (fight director) Anthony (Delongis)."
