Movie Props
« on: January 18, 2010, 07:16:12 AM »
Inspired by Carson's Clash of the Titans thread, i started thinking what original props I would love to own, if I could afford them (which I mist certainly cannot).  Of course, there could be a whole forum on Bond or Star Wars props.  But as I began looking, I seemed to gravitate away from weapons because they often arent very recognizable.  For example, how easy would it be to tell the difference between a Kill Bill Hanzo sword and one used by Zatoichi?  Anyway, here are a few of my favorites.

"jangos kid" on MPF is a big movie prop guy and is active on The Movie Prop Forum. You have to join it to read/post, since it's now a "protected forum."

Those are all great and Michael J. Fox's hoverboard comes to mind.

But, uh, for me, if I could have any movie prop, above all, it would most likely be from Scarlett Johansson's wardrobe department..

Here's one for me:



And you can have one (of the two) next time it surfaces at auction.  Watch out though... last time it went for a tad more than its projected $30-50K sale price! I wouldn't be surprised if it goes for even more next time around ;)

BTW, yes the props I listed are from Blade Runner.  I wish someone would make some knock-offs so I can have a full set of those scotch glasses!

Oh and as for the Falcon...

I did not realize it was the ACTUAL falcon that was stolen from John's Grill - sadly it appears it has never turned up despite a reward (the $ was used to buy a 150 lbs larger bronze and lead sculpture as a replacement)

Really cool stuff in this thread.

Pics from the Crime Museum in Washington DC, a couple revolvers used in The Godfather and the uzi from Scarface.

On display in Germany, (and not the best shot) but the second display from the left shows 3 original costumes from NOSFERATU.  Easily seen are Count Orlock's signature long, buttoned topcoat and cap, as well as (maybe Mina's dress?) and a second topcoat. One may be from the original 1922 production and the other from Werner Herzog's 1979 remake.

Outstanding stuff!!  happy1

Thanks for sharing Jeff. I love these kind of exhibitions. I went to the one at the V&A in London last Xmas to see the original costumes for Gone with the Wind, Star Wars, Cleopatra (1932) and many, many more. Just incredible to be able to see these pieces of film history..! :)

From the same exhibit, foam latex prosthetic ear tips and vampire teeth veneers worn by Klaus Kinski, in the 1979 version of Nosferatu:

The thing about Kinski is that he could wear no prosthetics or makeup and still be a terrifying vampire

That makes me think of this Willem Dafoe commercial
