Re: Favorite movie props

Hock,

A couple of years ago, I saw a television documentary about a guy who bought what he thought was going to be a small quantity of "Alien" materials from Fox Studios. A huge moving van pulled up in front of his house, filled with "Alien" memorabilia from the first few "Alien" movies. It was so much, he's used practically his whole house to store and display all of it. The stuff even included whole sets, as well as costumes and models. Amazing. I think it's what inspired Paramount to auction off all the "Star Trek" materials they had, including models of the original Enterprise, much of the materials going for hundreds of thousands of dollars apiece.

The "Italian Stallion" robe from Rocky 2.

I want the Monolith from "2001: A Space Odyssey" or the titular rifle from "Winchester '73."

Actually what would be really sweet is if I could get one of the Darth Vader costumes worn by David Prowse with the chest plate that lights up and everything. The one worn by Hayden Christensen is smaller and less intimidating. Then I would buy a Master Replicas Darth Vader Saber with red blade attachment and leave it on at night with the chest plate lights on also. I could stare at it for hours :p

I'm actually watching A New Hope as I type this. Yesterday was the 30th Anniversary of Star Wars as I'm sure most of you know.
