What Movie Prop would You Love to Own?

Andrew · July 24, 2007, 10:41:40 AM

Some good pieces have already been mentioned. I have a few more that come to mind.

The Auryn from "The Neverending Story"
The model of Nell, the main ship from "Battle Beyond the Stars"
One of the Ghidrah suits. I want to put it in one corner of the living room.
Some of the maser tanks and such from the Godzilla movies (or the flying battleships from "Final Wars" or "War in Space") would be cool.
One of the devil starfish from "Rock 'n' Roll Nightmare"
A pulse rifle from "Aliens" or one of the model dropships
The arcade game from "The Last Starfighter"

QuoteOne 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.

Puberty, puberty love
there's nothing like puberty love
It's so neat, it's so cool
weekends and holidays and after school

love is, what we feel
old folks say it's not for real
but we're ready, we're going steady
sharing gum is such fun... (it cuts off)

Either the Gill Man costume or one of those piranhas-on-a-stick from the Dante film.

Hey Andrew,

About that pulse rifle...
Check out this site that's totally devoted to the M41A pulse rifle.

It contains a wealth of information on how to build your very own gun.

Your'e starting to scare me,Ash.....!

Yikes!

I would love to have Lugosi's cape and Dracula ring...but FJA has one of his capes and a ring,and I believe Chris Lee has another ring like it...I know you can get replica rings...but the real deal would be super groovy!
Of course,being such a runt,the cape would be way to big.

Bela Lugosi was buried in his Dracula cape.

I like to build things, but no longer have very much time to do so (kids, work, website). If anything, I would get a high quality replica just as a cool wall decoration. Unfortunately, those are fairly expensive. Still, a very cool site there.

Bela has the first cape

...on a more somber note, there is a shot of Bela in state in Hollywood Babylon looking very much "the Count".

Thanks! Can I ask where you found these, or was it as simple as a Google search?

My wants are modest, a crew baseball hat from the Nostromo, one of the rifles used in either Aliens or Starship Troopers, provided that its real and does in fact hold several hundred rounds of ammunition just like the movie version, and last of all, one of the Landmaster all terrain vehicles from Damnation Alley, provided I could get Shell or Mobil to pick up the bill for gas.

I just studied the movie closely. It helps that there's a sing-along/kareoke thing on the special edition DVD.

A Landmaster would be awesome. They pop up from time to time in other bad movies. "A.P.E.X." and "Hybrid" jump to mind, but there are others. Heck, I would love to have a scale model of a Landmaster. Tell me that wouldn't be fun to have on your desk.

I saw one of the 2 from the movie on a local PBS station program, the guy who owns it got in and drove it around, didn't let them show the interior, but from the outside it looked great, and I would absolutely love a model for my desk at work.

A few years back they made a model of it, I think it was Monsters in Motion who had it, however a search turned up nothing, no models. It was a limited run and it wasn't cheap if I recall correctly. But you never know one might turn up on eBay at some point.
