Battlefield Earth Original Movie Prop- Handcuffs

I can't really call these handcuffs, but include them as they are movie cuffs.

BATTLEFIELD EARTH
Original Screen Used Prop
Padded Handcuffs

Original prop used during the filming of Battlefield Earth. Based on the best selling book series by L Ron Hubbard of Scientology fame, starring John Travolta, Barry Pepper, Forrest Whittaker & Kelly Preston. The actual prop is pictured above and used during the filming of the movie. I couldn't find this one when watching the movie but I think it's a handcuff or anklecuff.

Original movie props from Sci-Fi movies are highly collectible. Comes with a certificate of authenticity and a money back guarantee that this is an original prop used during the filming of the movie. - eBay

This movie handcuff has a 'Buy-it-Now' price of $79.95 (Plus $5 Shipping) but no takers, yet.

PLANET OF THE APES 2 MAN SLAVE HAND CUFFS MOVIE PROP

Not real cuffs, but future/retro movie prop cuffs:

Here is an amazing piece of HOLLYWOOD memorabilia!
This is a large set of 2 person slave cuffs used during filming of the Tim Burton movie from 2001

"PLANET OF THE APES"

This is absolutely genuine, and screen used, and not a reproduction or copy.
It comes with a signed certificate of authenticity from Studio-Props. We purchased this item directly from 20th Century Fox and have placed a copy of our receipt from Fox on the C.O.A. to prove it.

This set of cuffs is designed to be worn with both hands through a single cuff, so this is really used on two slaves. The connecting chain is metal and is 12" long with a couple of menacing looking metal spikes. The large cuffs are painted plastic or resin. They have ape designs and decorations carved into them. Ultra nice. They show some dust and wear from their days on set. Each cuff measures approx. 8" x 5" x 5" and hinges. - eBay

THE FIFTH ELEMENT Stunt Police Handcuffs

OK, not technically a restraint, but it played one in a cool move:

The Fifth Element
Stunt Handcuffs


Introduction

Major Korben Dallas is a former special ops soldier who has retired to the quiet life of a New York cabbie in the year 2259. Suddenly, out of the sky and into his cab falls a woman who will change his life forever. Leeloo, the "perfect being" (and fifth element), will will allow our hero to taste the love for which he has so desperately been looking. Furthermore, the government that he had previously so faithfully served but then abandoned, will once again tap him for his military talents. In the end, Leeloo and Korben will discover that the way they feel for one another fuels the vehicle that will save the world.

Based on a story conceived by director Luc Besson, The Fifth Element explores the extremes of love, hate, good, evil, generosity, and greed in a thought-provoking yet entertaining fashion. Viewers are transported to a plausible 23rd century New York City, where towering buildings dominate the landscape, flying cars are the norm, and interstellar travel is as commonplace as a trip to Europe is today.

Although very successful at the time of its release, The Fifth Element has also become a movie cult classic, which will eventually take its place among the great pantheon of science fiction films.


Background

Handcuffs make up the standard compliment of accessories carried by both the NYPD (New York City Police Department) and Fhloston Paradise ship's security. The handcuffs being offered here were used by one of these two police forces (or both).

Since the cuffs being worn by priest Vito Cornelius in the screen capture below are connected by a bar, it is very possible that the handcuffs in this auction were employed by the New York City police. On the other hand, they could possibly be a variant type also employed on the Fhloston Paradise ship by its security.

Although this style of handcuff can also be briefly seen in a New York City police car (see screen captures below), and is again employed to restrain Cornelius on Fhloston Paradise, the exact variation represented by the stunt handcuffs being offered in this auction cannot be found anywhere while viewing a theatrical cut of the movie. At least, this researcher was unable to find them.

Nonetheless, the handcuffs being offered here are warranted to have been production-made and production-used in The Fifth Element.


Description

You are bidding on a set of production-used The Fifth Element stunt handcuffs. The two cuffs are constructed of resin and connected by a metal chain.

One of the s-hooks connecting the chain to one of the cuffs has been broken and is included as-is. This should be relatively easy to fix by finding a replacement at any local hardware store.

Also, this unusual piece of The Fifth Element memorabilia includes the following certificate of authenticity (COA): - eBay (23 Feb 2010)

These movie prop handcuffs had a high bid of $54.88 (Plus $5 Shipping).
