She likes cracking the whip.
I thought I read that was mostly CGI...
Kaylee: Can I? Zoe: Sure. He's out, though. Kaylee: He did this for me, once.

Thrive to spite them
Here's the quote:
"I think I'm really hoping to do another 'Catwoman,'" Berry told reporters ahead of the movie's German premiere.
Berry, who slinks through the movie in midriff-baring black leather, pointed to the satisfaction that comes from a good whip-crack.
"Everybody just wanted to crack that whip," she said.
"When you get your first crack, you just want to keep on cracking."
I don't think she was talking about actually hitting anything...just the sound it made.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

If it's not, they did an incredibly good job of making a real whip look very, very fake. (Ditto w/ the stunts, which I've been told Halle can actually do -- there was apparently some VH1 or MTV making of thing where she was leaping all around and doing her own kicking and punching. But in the finished film, it really looks like they're desperately having to cut around her incompetance.)

have you noticed that Dean Cain has a tv series on CBS this fall?
Does he? I always thought he was cute, and pretty good in the role, all things considered.

Hitting things is kinda easier than making the noise, at least in my bullwhip experience.

She can make the cracking sound -- she demonstrated it when she was on Oprah. But it was nothing fancy, and she required a much bigger wind-up than Catwoman does in the movie.

If you can make the noise and hit something at the same time, the whip becomes startlingly lethal.

Startlingly so? Isn't the bullwhip considered to be a weapon?

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I think most people forget that the cracking noise is the tip of the whip breaking the sound barrier.
I don't think, formally speaking, most people would call a bullwhip a weapon, until it was used on them personally.

Yes! Startling! If you can hit somebody and make the sound, you're talking about carving bigger, deeper chunks out of them, as the sound comes from the tip breaking the speed of sound (or so I understand).
