The friendly little alien ship from Flight of the Navigator. That thing rocked!

I want the marble painting/statue with the moving faces of tortured souls in Devil's Advocate.

I would SO beat you down for that sword, I could excuse it, I gave you a wife after all....

Are computer graphics really a prop?

It's just a Tai Chi sword guys ... it isn't as much money as a Katana or something. Though remember replicas are replicas and that blade is heavier than the hilt ... swing to hard and that blade will fly off.

Price is probably due to the etching. Not to bad ... my brother's Highlander Katana ran about 129.

EDIT: Yoda's Chair from Episode one. Probably captain chairs from the various Star Wars movies too. Maybe the entire conference room from first contact.

Interesting... $88 ain't too bad, but I really have no legitimate need for such a thing. I suppose I could fence with it, but you'd almost need two of 'em - so I guess I'll stick with my foils.

One of the necklaces from Battle Royale might be good, too.

Oh, didn't even think of this - one of the eggs from Alien (or Aliens) would be really cool. Sitting in the corner, open, with a little trail of gunk going behind one of the chairs... just a little something to keep guests on edge.

Hah! Someone else saw Battle Royale! That's a great film. It's a factory sword not forged I don't know how good it would for for fencing. I think they make the blades then attach the hilts rather than creating it to be swung around. I did cut a melon in half mid air with my bro's katana though.

Oh, how could I forget? I even shopped around for this one. Vega's mask and claw from Street Fighter: The Movie.

So you saw Battle Royal...did you think it was a dark comedy? JQW and I were having a sort of debate about it. I said I laughed all the way through the movie. He told me it wasn't that kind of film.

I think though that whenever you stuff a granade into a decapatated head and then throw it through a window, you've got to expect a few laughs.

I laughed most of the time. Mostly when that little j-pop punk princess was on the T.V. then more when that Gym Teacher looking bastard stood up after being riddled with bullets.

Sick! Sick! You're all sick!

I watched a bootleg of Battle Royale, and just recently got a legit copy from Hong Kong - DTS sound, even. Cost all of $5 for a 100% legal copy.

Seen the trailer for the sequel? Pretty fucked up, complete with terrorists blowing up several buildings in a very 9/11-style scene. You used to be able to get it from the official site, but it's asked for some p/w or another (and it's all in Benji, good luck reading it)... one of the BR fan sites probably has it for download though.

If I did get a Green Destiny sword (unlikely), it'd probably just sit on the wall of my home theater (which will hopefully be functional by this winter.)

That was great. I knew after seeing that scene that this wasn't ment to be taken completely seriously. It was violent don't get me wrong but it was mostly a satire of how the government handles problems. It's like the modest proposal by Jonathan Swift. Eating children as a way to solve the population problems/starving/poor problem.

I'm surprised that nobody mentioned a couple of my favorites:

The Airwolf helicopter. (i was reminded of airwolf the other day when i heard part of the theme song as part of Blockbuster's in store advertising). That was a wicked-ass helicopter even if the guns aren't real.

K.I.T.T. from Knight rider
