Just Another Video of Dominatrix Barbra Streisand Whipping Indiana Jones
We've already established this week's Bad Movie We Love, The Main Event, as a benchmark of Barbra Streisand costuming. But what of this rare video -- long-rumored and finally unearthed this week -- of Babs dropping by the set of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, rocking a dominatrix outfit and whipping Harrison Ford for his recent cinematic transgressions? With Ford's Empire Strikes Back collaborators Carrie Fisher and Irvin Kershner making cameos? Some are calling it a practical joke, but I call it a milestone.
There is not enough Scope in the store to get the taste of this one out of your mouth. "This is for Hanover Street!" Streisand wails. "This is for all the money you're going to make on Return of the Jedi!" Her classy capper -- "I feel like a faggot" -- is of particular note. But! This is how they did it in 1983. Wait another 25 or 30 years and see if we don't have viral leaks of Katherine Heigl joke-waterboarding Adam Sandler ("This is for Little Nicky!") on the set of Funny People.
