Corrected entry: When Rico is whipped, the guy with the whip is shown about 15 feet in the background. The lashes leave huge 18-inch stripes on Rico's back, implying that the whip is about 17 feet long. But the maximum effective striking length of a whip is only 12 feet, at most.

Correction: Even assuming the measured distances are correct, the fact is, 20' whips are sold and are routinely shown to be effective.
