What movie prop would you like to own (and not sell for a profit)

One of the space suits from 2001 (either a moon suit or a Discovery suit), though I think that I’ve read that they no longer exist.

I’d settle for the V8 Volante from The Living Daylights (it also shows up in No Time to Die). That car was a thing of beauty. Shame the prop wouldn’t really have a working jet engine and ski thingies, but a man can dream.

I saw that episode :slight_smile:

But while on the notion of time machines I wouldn’t mind having the TARDIS. Not sure where I would put it but I’d work to find it a place.

A full-sized Dalek would be cool (I have a little one…maybe 4" tall). That would be even more difficult to find a place for though.

You can see it at the Spy Museum in NYC - I have photos of it.

No problem, there’s loads of room inside.

Hmmm…I could store it inside of it. What could possibly go wrong with that?

Genius!

Ooh yeah, reminds me that I’d take Suchet’s Poirot’s silver boutonniere lapel vase (“tussie-mussie”). I’d wear that.

There are a lot of cool props, and a surprising number of them are available as replicas (even something as obscure as the “servo” used in the Star Trek episode “Assignment Earth”). Some of the really great ones are simply too big - like a full-sized T-800 skeleton, or Robby the Robot (mentioned above). So, I thought - what would be a nice, small, displayable artifact that had a huge cultural significance, but isn’t available onTemu?

And, this is what I want:

You win the thread.

It would be fun to “accidentally” produce that for a customs officer, and then say, “Oh, sorry, wrong one!” Or, maybe not.

The map of the Universe from Time Bandits
Armor from LOTR — probably Gondor but wouldn’t turn down Rohan.

But it doesn’t say “signed by General de Gaulle*… cannot be rescinded, not even questioned”. It doesn’t have Strasser’s signature, and why is Ilsa an avec femme? If she can be an avec on Victor’s, then Rick can use the other one for himself.

I think it’s a forgery! :slight_smile:

*or Weygand

But as a prop, that’s a complex piece for something no one would ever see in a closeup.

The gold telephone from The Godfather II.

This Gizmo prop is pretty good

Weren’t they keeping the marriage a secret?

Victor, Ilsa, and Rick. A very French marriage.

I’ll take Sauron’s helmet, please.

You’ll just have to make do with a bottle of Chambord.

Bullitt’s 1968 Ford Mustang 390 GT. There were two of them. One was banged up so badly it was scrapped. The survivor was sold at auction in 2020 for $3.74-million.

That is pretty spiffy. One of the best Watsons- Except of course Martin Freeman.

Many replicas for sale, at quite modest prices.

Got a nice replica.

Good choice- comfortable, snazzy, practical- and NOT cheap. My pick.

Replicas available.

Remember folks-

:frowning:

sad face- So, no working lightsabers. But some of those film armor sets for the stars were really well done by master craftsmen.

Like these- the hand-forged steel created for Excalibur, crafted by Terry English, and the historically accurate plate armor in Laurence Olivier’s Henry V . Either would be a good choice.

I want the 18 inch armature used for the stop-motion Kong in the 1933 film.

Re: Replicas. I might be ok with one, but that doesn’t mean I don’t want the original.
(The licensed Time Bandits map is $95 - hmmm)

When collecting the original is by far the most valuable. Recreations are rarely worth much.

I have a collector’s edition of “The Lord of the Rings.” It is not cheap but the original first printing edition is easily worth 3x as much (maybe more). Yet they are exactly the same thing except the printing date. Go figure.
