Even the sci-fi boffins over at Starship Modeler are baffled; can the Dope come to their rescue? What is this spaceship, and where’s it from?
Looks vaguely like the ones the Necromongers use in “Pitch Black” but they had glowering religious fanatics on their tops, not fat-n-sassy T-rexes on the side.
Necromonger ship.
My thought was the mining ship from Cowboys & Aliens, but my google-fu is not producing any stills from that part of the movie.
It’s the spaceship from The Fifth Element.

I think it’s just a different angle or perhaps a prototype. Look at the angles on the lower section and the Gigeresque midsection. If not it then definitely an homage.
Where did you get the picture?
My first thought, too.
Google image search is pulling up a lot of Reavers as similar, but no matches yet
Image search for me got lots of pictures of the Statue of Liberty and a bunch of other grey statues against blue sky backgrounds. ![]()
Try entering a brief description, too. I’ve used spaceship, space ship, starship, and star ship. So far, lots of interesting images, but nothing with a dinosaur on the side. I even looked thru some ancient astronaut pages, google fail…
I should clarify; it’s not my picture. A fellow had posted it over on a sci-fi forum, and struck out. The guy posting it couldn’t remember where he’d gotten it; he’d just found it somewhere on the internet.
Not 5th Element. Seems to be some class of dragon delivery system. I would guess it is from a Japanese Kaiju film. Mostly because of the electrical lines in the back.
Oh yeah, keywords. Now it’s driving me crazy.
It does have a very toku look to it. I’d guess Super Sentai or Kamen Rider over a movie, though. Looks more TV than film, too me.
Judging from the grain visible in the sky, I’d guess this is a print image. Possibly from a book cover. Tineye doesn’t find a match.
I’m pretty sure that is a sex toy.
For what species? o0
Good call that it’s from a printed source.
Maybe the same issue of Photoplay with the Tonight Show mystery man. We should see if Carol Burnett knows.
Could be. If it’s a book cover, considering the size of the grain, I’ll bet it’s part of a larger, cropped image.
It could also be a still from a film that was reproduced in a book.
It’s also possible that this was not a professional production, but something put together by a talented amateur, maybe as part of a portfolio, or for a student film, or a senior project in a design class - which itself might explain the grain, if it was included in a school brochure as an example of the sort of work students do at the school.
