What Movie Prop would You Love to Own?

[Raffine]

So, what single movie prop would you love to get your filthy paws on?

I like posters, so my choice is the huge sideshow poster advertising "ERIK THE APE" in Robert Florey's MURDERS IN THE RUE MORGUE (1932).

Or maybe one of the Martian fighting machine models from George Pal's THE WAR OF THE WORLDS (1953).

Or Lon Chaney's beaver hat from LONDON AFTER MIDNIGHT (1925).

Van Helsing's crossbow would be cool to have.

[Menard]

Does Julie K. Smith count as a movie prop...or two?

[Raffine]

If they're attached = 1
Unattached = 2

::: the Tesla coil used in Universal's Frankenstein.

::: the teddy bear from The Pit.

::: the Nekronomicon from Evil Dead.

::: the flying guillotine from Legend of the Flying Guillotine.

::: a mugwump from Naked Lunch.

[Shadow]

The head-spider from The Thing (Carpenter version).

The Godzilla suit from either GMK or G vs. Megaguirus.

Any stop motion model from a Harryhausen flick - top choice: the cyclops from The 7th Voyage of Sinbad, since the Ymir doesn't exist anymore.

A Star Destroyer model from the original SW trilogy.

Princess Leia's slave girl outfit from ROTJ, so I can get my wife to wear it.

The puzzle box from Hellraiser.

A Nazgul costume from LOTR.

[BlackAngel75]

Wolverine's claws.  Especially great for the job where you have to deal with the a***oles (customers, co-workers, and supervisors).

Johnny 5 robot from Short Circuit.  hey, I'm lazy.  I need something to clean my apartment.

[indianasmith]

Talon's triple-bladed, spring-loaded sword from THE SWORD AND THE SORCERER!!

[CheezeFlixz]

I'm not greedy, I'll take this 1930's Duesenberg Convertible Coupe from the 1938 "Merrily We Live" it was sort of a predecessor of "My Man Godfrey" (Tramp turned Butler, but was really rich and famous. both great movie BTW)

But since it is likely long gone ... let see ...

I agree with Shadow and of Harryhausen models would be great.
MARIA robot costume from Fritz Lang's Metropolis (Long gone too)


Charlie Chaplin's hat and cane.
Anything from Groucho Marx movies.
The Capitan American chopper from Easy Rider

oh there are so many if I had the space and the money I've have a bunch of of them. (But I have no idea why.)

I've always wanted to own Hardy Kruger's crossbow from "The Wild Geese" ~ I was eleven when I saw that film and the way that he shot with it always impressed me.

[Ash]

I've got another one.
It's something I've wanted since I was a boy.

The Glaive!


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Freddy Krueger's original glove from Nightmare on Elm Street would be pretty neat to own too.

[felgekarp]

The swords from The Sword and the Sorcerer and Hawk The Slayer.

[Jack]

The supercharged interceptor from Mad Max "She sips nitro... with Phase 4 heads! 600 horsepower through the wheels! She's meanness set to music and the b***h is born to run!"

[raj]

Lightsaber -- provided it's a real one.

[Derf]

My list:

Bogart's fedora & trench coat from Casablanca.

The Maltese Falcon.

The time portal map from Time Bandits.

One of the papier-mache tomatoes from Attack of the Killer Tomatoes, or maybe the sheet music to "Puberty Love" so I could find out what the heck they're singing.

The Batmobile or Batcycle from the Adam West/Burt Ward Batman, or maybe Catwoman  .


I do own a Paul Chen replica of Zatoichi's sword; it's the only "real" sword I own (i.e., one that can actually hold an edge).
