How much-how much? The most expensive film props in history (13 photos)

Rick Deckard's gun



The film Blade Runner, released in 1982, although it failed at the box office, eventually became a cult dystopian action film. Rich people paid $270,000 for the gun of the protagonist Rick Descartes.

By the way, this is not the first time that weapons that were in the hands of Harrison Ford are sold for a lot of money: for example, the braster from Star Wars was sold by rich people for 200 thousand dollars.

Exoskeleton T-800





The Terminator movie has long been a cult classic. It's clear that the film franchise has a lot of fans. And so one of them, who wished to remain anonymous, bought a metal figurine of a real Terminator from the filming at an auction in 2010 for 488 thousand dollars.

DeLorean



Who doesn't love Robert Zemeckis' Back to the Future saga? At one time, a time machine based on the DeLorean was wildly popular. But it was the car from the filming, equipped with an additional board with time indicators, that was sold at auction for 541 thousand dollars. The same standard car at that time cost about 30 thousand dollars.

Dorothy's shoes



The cult Hollywood classic The Wizard of Oz, released in 1939, captured the hearts of many. Ultimately, the shoes of the main character, Dorothy, who was carried away by the typhoon to a wonderful land, were almost thrown into the trash. But one of the studio employees found them, and got rich by selling his finds (there were several pairs of shoes in total). At one time, Lady Gaga and even Leonardo DiCaprio owned the shoes. But there is also one unknown person named David Elkuby, who “laid out” a fabulous 660 thousand dollars for the shoes.



But this is not the only record from the film set. For the same Cowardly Lion costume, also discovered in the backyard, they paid $3 million.

Little black dress



After her role in Breakfast at Tiffany's, Audrey Hepburn became a true fashion icon. And it is not surprising that every girl wanted to buy herself that little black dress. And moreover, some collectors. It was produced by the Givenchy fashion house. True, the dress itself was lost from the shoot, but the promo dress went under the hammer: for a lot of money - in 2006 it was purchased for 792 thousand dollars, despite the fact that the auctioneers wanted to sell it for a maximum of 100. Beauty, as they say, is a terrible power.

Lotus Esprit



The same Bond car that everyone wanted. Well, or almost everyone. After all, who doesn't want to own a fast convertible that's also a submarine?

This car is in the collection of Elon Musk, who purchased it for $997 thousand. By the way, the eccentric playboy, billionaire and genius planned to install a Tesla branded electric motor instead of the engine. So maybe this car is already capable of sailing the oceans.

Terrorist headquarters



In the Bond movie “You Only Live Twice,” there was a whole volcano crater where Specter’s headquarters was located. They spent about a million dollars on its creation, and sold it for the same amount. As they say, we broke even.

Aston Martin



Another Bond car. True, he appeared in the cult third film of the Goldfinger franchise. It sold for $4.4 million in 2010.

Although this is not the ultimate dream of auctioneers. They wanted to get as much as 5 million for the car. And for this purpose it was even equipped with interchangeable numbers, bulletproof panels and mini-machine guns.

Eliza's dress



Did you think a dress couldn't cost more than a car? You are very mistaken.

Eliza's white dress from My Fair Lady, which Audrey Hepburn's character wore at the races, was sold not so long ago - in 2011. And it's all thanks to the sale of actress Debbie Reynolds: the Hollywood star was selling memorabilia from the filming.

In the end, the dress went for $4.55 million. And at the start they asked for only 100 thousand.

White dress



When you imagine Marilyn Monroe, what dress do you see in your head? That same white dress, which she held with her hand while standing on the subway grate, became almost an illustration of Hollywood in the middle of the last century.

It also belonged to Debbie Reynolds and was sold that same year. True, a little more expensive: for 4.6 million dollars.

Robot Robbie



This prop was once created for the not very well-known film “Forbidden Planet” for as much as 125 thousand dollars. For 1956, this is a lot of money, about a million, if converted to the current exchange rate. But they sold it for even more money - in 2017 it was sold at auction for $5.375 million.

What do you think: do these props deserve to be sold for such money?
