[CallaghanFilms]

OK, so I came across yet another shi*ty list...

("the most awesome movie props")

Are you poo pooin kidding me?! Andie's dress from Pretty in Pink?! :huh:

Anyways...here are the cool-ass props I would want for my basement bar (if I didn't live in Florida, and actually still had a basement that is).



The Callaghan Top Ten Movie Props Of All Time

#1 Sam's Piano from Casablanca
...Play it, Sam...play "As Time Goes By".

#3 The Ark of the Covenant from Raiders
So I could say, "Don't look at it. Shut your
eyes, Marion, and don't look at it, no matter
what happens..." at parties.

I do a mean impression

#9 The Flux Capacitor from Back to the Future
This prop I would actually have installed

at Sound Advice could make that happen?
http://www.dvxuser6.com/uploaded/6548/1188579497.jpg

#10 The original King Kong
Hands down one of the most ground-
breaking effects for its time...EVER!

http://www.dvxuser6.com/uploaded/6548/1188739989.jpg
No-one else, eh? You hosers!!

[jpeck]

Slave costume!

http://www.supershadow.com/starwars/pictures/1/princess_leia_gold_bikini.jpeg

[tmnt]

Can characters be counted as props?

Anyways I'm going to go with:

Harry Callaghan's magnum
Lightsaber (of course)
Freddy K's glove
Squeeks dildo helmet from Orgazmo

[PerroneFord]

Monument Valley.

Samurai battle costume from "The Last Samurai".

[Capt Quirk]

I wanted the Captain's chair from the Star Trek series. I was sort of excited when it went on auction... for about 3 seconds. That is when I discovered the opening bid was waaaaay more than I could afford.

[mikkowilson]

jpeck; you know, it's not really about the costume.


I don't have a top ten, but here are some that would be really cool to have...

http://www.intriguing.com/mp/_pictures/grail/large/HolyGrail189.jpg
"3 sir" "..3"

http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/british/images/hg_indiana_grail_8.jpg
Then again, people have been looking for this one for ages.

http://www.inentertainment.co.uk/wp-content/img/FordWantsWhipornoIndianaJones.jpg
Yes, THE whip.

http://filmovezvuky.fdb.cz/spaceballs/jpg/01s.jpg
The whole model.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/c/cf/007Scaramanga.jpg/300px-007Scaramanga.jpg
Either piece would rock. (ZFarms, that's not the PPK in your picture!)

http://www.universalexports.net/Graphics/Gadgets/atac.jpg
They didn't really throw it off a cliff did they?


Cars:
http://www.automotoportal.com/media/images/vijesti/061127010.1.jpg
Yes, totally

http://estb.msn.com/i/A0/D3DF9BF282329C1E7F457AB1661FF.jpg
This one almost trumps the DB5




There are SO many cool props out there though. Far too many to list in one post (or to remrber for that matter.)

- Mikko

[Capt Quirk]

I actually got to wear one of Indy's Fedoras. He has a small head.

[ZFarms Productions]

Ya, Mikko, I want the Sean Connery gun

[jpeck]

jpeck; you know, it's not really about the costume.

Well, its better than having Carrie Fisher in my house... Unless I had the flux capacitor and a Delorean and could get me a Carrie Fisher from the late 70s.

[JB Seesselberg]

The doll from SAW
http://us.movies1.yimg.com/movies.yahoo.com/images/hv/photo/movie_pix/lions_gate_films/saw/doll.jpg

The Batmobile
http://www.thebatcave8k.com/images/batmobile3.jpg

Johnny Five - Short Circuit 1&2
http://www.johnny-five.com/images/sc2/misc/big5.jpg

The Neuralyzer - MIB
http://www.badastronomy.com/pix/mib_neuralyzer.jpg

The Boulder - Indiana Jones
http://professeurs.cstj.net/plemieux/images/Indy1Boulder.jpg

[Billy Pilgrim]

The Monolith

Smack dab in the middle of my living room.

(I have a feeling my wife might not go with me on this one)

I would do it anyway. Just say it's "feng shui"

Here's my list, in no particular order:

The Dude's Rug
http://growabrain.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/lebowski_rug_1.jpg

Because it would really tie the room together.

Jack's Axe
http://www.weirdwildrealm.com/filmimages/shining.jpg

Oh yes.

Marsellus Wallace's Briefcase
http://www.filmsink.com/images/s-jules-pulp-fiction.jpg

So I can finally see what's in the damn thing.

The baby from Eraserhead
http://www.sensesofcinema.com/images/directors/02/eraserhead.jpg

Because it would be cool, and so I can figure out what it actually is (hopefully NOT a cow fetus).

Norman Bates' Mother
http://lavender.fortunecity.com/spinaltap/45/mother.jpg

If I had a basement, I would prop that up in a chair inside of it.

The Shape's Mask
http://www.cinemablend.com/images/news_img/4222/4222.jpg

The original one from the first film (worn by Nick Castle) that is.

[Billy Pilgrim]

I actually read the list and realized the rug is on it. And I thought I was being original. Well, I'd like to think my caption was more clever.

[mikkowilson]

Johnny 5 would be awsome, as would the boulder (where would you put that?).

Keeping with Indiana Jones...
http://www.indygear.com/museum/images/mine_car_chase.jpg
Bonus: BTS Pic :)

And robots...
http://blogs.commercialappeal.com/blake/Terminator.jpg




Jacks axe is definatly on my list too. :)

The Natural is on right now.

http://www.blade-runner.it/images/pag7.jpg

Not too shaby, even for a replicant....and probably less nuts than the real Sean Young.

http://www.moviediva.com/MD_root/MDimages/Copy_of_BikeT.jpg

The Fides. You know that bike is around somewhere.

http://i12.ebayimg.com/07/i/000/a3/9d/582b_1_b.JPG

The watch Mickey Rourke wears in The Pope of Greenwich Village. This one resembles it.

[Erik Olson]

For a long time, Universal Props Dept. had the hoverboards out in the general inventory. They didn't hover very well, but I stood on a No Tech nonetheless.

Also tried on this little number... didn't work, just like in the movie.

There it is! I knew it was going to make someone's list.

[Mark Harris]

Dunno if anyone has listed it yet, but gimme one of these:

http://www.dvxuser6.com/uploaded/2939/1189030632.jpg

I would dig a TARDIS too...

[Randall Ayers]

http://www.best-horror-movies.com/images/shaun-of-the-dead-trio.jpg



The paddle that Simon Pegg uses in 'Shaun of the dead'

and also Nick Frost's "I Got Wood" bloody t-shirt

[tmnt]

The paddle? Dude, that's a cricket bat! I will come to your defense though, no-one likes cricket .

[Drew Ott]

Crap... I typed up a list, clicked outside of the box and hit backspace.

edit --

ones I remember:

Andy's ax from Shawshank.

Rose petals from American Beauty.

The feather from Forrest Gump.

Polaroids from Memento.

Piano from Punch-Drunk Love.

Briefcase from Pulp Fiction.

The slingblade from Slingblade (or a can of meat).

I forgot what the dog swallowed in Snatch that they were all looking for but I want it.

[JConnors]

The Ring of Power would be awesome.

[mikkowilson]

To go with the ring:

To go with Sting.....

The blade that cut the ring....

Can't forget about Milton & his stapler!

[Capt Quirk]

Some time ago, there was a computer monitor from that movie up for grabs.

And there is my movie sword hanging behind my desk-http://www.dvxuser6.com/uploaded/18389/1190240054.jpg

[Sad Max]

From Rome...?

Looks like a gladius.

[Capt Quirk]

Ben Hur.

[Sad Max]

Wow. An original?

Wales + Israel?

[Capt Quirk]

Wow. An original?

Wales + Israel?
Huh? As far as I know, yes it is original. But then, have you ever tried to get something certified? I've seen pictures of an exact duplicate in a picture from a Ben Hur display, and that's good enough for me.

[Sad Max]

Well...for my part, I don't get stuff certified; I know it's genuine 'cause I stole it off set, myself...

:evil:

...although I missed Ben Hur by quite a few years. Doesn't matter if it's a nice piece.

[Capt Quirk]

I'd never seen the movie, until after I bought the sword. I bought it because it was listed as Ben Hur's sword, which I thought meant it was the sword Ben Hur used. After watching the whole 3 1/2 hours or so, I learned that Ben Hur never used a sword in the movie. He used a knife, a javeline even, but no sword. D'OH!

[Randall Ayers]

The paddle? Dude, that's a cricket bat! I will come to your defense though, no-one likes cricket .

Yeah, here in America, the only type of 'cricket' we know is the annoying damn bug.. I know it's pretty big in Australia, but I tried to watch it once, and it looks like a mix between, Bowling, Tennis, and Baseball..

[tmnt]

It's as boring as baseball.

[Matt Grunau]

it looks like a mix between, Bowling, Tennis, and Baseball..

We probably got our Baseball roots from Cricket, just as we got Football from Rugby.

[mikkowilson]

It's as boring as baseball.

It can't be that boring.


- Mikko ... has never really watched either for any extended period of time.

[Capt Quirk]

There's always golf and bowling...

[Sad Max]

Golf: A good walk, ruined.

[Capt Quirk]

Aside from any unplanned mishaps, televised fishing has to be the number 1 dullest sports show.

This could be it's own thread- what is the dullest sports show today?

[Sad Max]

Even the mishaps are worthless.

Compared to NASCAR, anyway.

[mikkowilson]

Back to movie props...

One that I was reminded of in another thread is a certain peice of amber:

http://academy.asd20.org/kadets/lundberg/images/jpamber.jpg
"Bingo! Dino D-N-A!"


- Mikko

[DeSica]

I always liked this thing as a kid...

Baseball isn't boring.....as long as you have money on it its great.

Back on topic - how about Box from Logans Run....

http://www.jeffbots.com/logansrun1.jpg

[JConnors]

Or maybe a Renewal Mask from Logans Run -

Poor Roscoe Lee Browne.

What did he do, to keep getting consigned to roles like this?

[Joops]

I have some original muppets and a full scale frozen Han Solo. Its quite a conversation piece.

[Mark Harris]

Or maybe a Renewal Mask from Logans Run -

http://mypetjawa.mu.nu/archives/logans-run.jpg

I believe you can find these at any sporting goods store. :)

If it hasn't already been said...

The Dude's rug in The Big Lebowski.
