I start any future these props are well
less than meets the eye
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
movie props made from everyday objects
for this list we’re taking a look at
movie props that were composed of simple
easy to obtain everyday objects what
sign are you waiting for
Kosar the traveler he will come in one
of the pre chosen forms during the
rectification of the Voltron I the
traveler came as a large and moving tour
items that are modified for advertising
purposes rather than budgetary or
creative reasons such as James Bond spy
watches your model still press here
doing have not been considered for this
list number 10 the rocket launcher
triple-x
did you notice that rocket launcher at
the end of xxx
it might have looked somewhat odd you
got a bazooka dude stop thinking crock
police’s are thinking PlayStation blows
shit up bazooka it’s correct that’s
because it was simply an old Video
camcorder painted green and with a
variety of objects attached to each
other all to give it the look of a
deadly weapon now this makes us wonder
was this a clever use of junk that was
just lying around or did budget issues
start kicking
number nine stylus Star Trek nemesis geo
gray hot in Star Trek nemesis Captain
Picard famously uses what appears to be
a prototype of the iPad you have an
alpha priority communication from
Starfleet Command acknowledged which is
coincidentally called a pad or personal
access display device to operate the pad
Picard used a blue stylus which actually
was nothing more than a butane pencil
torch that’s the last cat it can be the
future the only modification to this
tool was adding some reflective tape
Star Trek’s had a long history of using
everyday items as props and making them
appear much more high-tech amazing Jim
another example is the medical scanners
in the original TV series which were
nothing more than salt and pepper
shakers not joking Jim she hasn’t aged a
day there’s not a gray hair in a head
number eight mounted smart guns aliens
aliens was an undeniable sci-fi
blockbuster that was filled to the brim
with heart-stopping action moments get
away from her you bitch do you remember
those mounted high firepower guns used
to ward off the aliens take a closer
look at them
the mounts for those guns were not made
of some highly futuristic design they
were merely made out of Steadicam gear
this was an ingenious use of an easily
accessible film production item found on
set
it looked convincingly real though
number seven the Statue Team America
world police I’m so me so well me if
that statue of the North Korean leader
and Team America appears to be alive
well that’s cuz it was actually a
painted person I’m the smartest most
grandpa most physically big a great
contrast to a cast of lifeless puppets a
living human being was chosen as a prop
by the production crew of this satirical
action comedy he’s alive all right so a
human isn’t an object but it is
something you see every day Matt Stone
and Trey Parker ingeniously used the
most basic random items to literally
litter their movies varied backgrounds
so don’t be surprised when you realize
that the buildings around Kim Jong Il’s
palace are just Chinese takeout boxes or
that the streets of Paris are nothing
more than a bunch of quasi shaped
cobblestones
number six Michael Myers mask Halloween
Michael Myers mask in Halloween has
terrified audiences for decades what
many people may not realize is that it’s
actually a William Shatner mask
spray-painted white all they took was
some Halloween masks rope and a couple
of knives what do you think to be
precise the filmmakers found a Star Trek
Captain Kirk mask for $2 which was made
in the likeness of Shatner they
performed some basic alterations like
spray-painting at White as well as
enlarging the eye holes and voila the
mask before that we now know and love to
hate number five the Death Star Star
Wars Episode four a new hope the Death
Star plans are not in the main computer
the Death Star is an iconic planetary
killing machines
after blowing apart Princess Leia’s home
planet of alderaan and causing the
genocide of millions who would’ve
thought that this mass murdering
spacecraft and super weapon was in
reality little more than a cannibalized
unpainted model battleship and plane
parts
the only hint of this can be seen during
the end of a new hope as Luke Skywalker
is leading a fleet of Rebel Alliance
star fighters along the Death Star’s
surface
number four surveillance jammer V for
Vendetta
my friend inside the finger came up with
something V for Vendetta featured what
appeared to be a quite complex
surveillance jammer that was near
pocket-sized and emitted a piercing
light
we’re not wide I’m sorry but to man in
my position survives by taking every
precaution
well that complicated piece of hardware
was nothing more than a portable reading
light that you can easily purchase
online you sick you’re evil this fancy
piece of everyday technology looked
great on film and hopefully bolstered
the product sales because it is
definitely undeniably cool-looking is
such judgments to you inspector number
three the PKE meter ghostbusters great
it’s moving come on one of the most
advanced pieces of technology in
ghostbusters was the psychokinetic
energy meter also known as the PKE meter
the Ghostbusters used this high-tech
device to find evidence of ghosts
wherever their investigations led them
this is hot right symmetrical book
stacking just like the Philadelphia man
turbulence of 1947 you’re right no human
being would stack books like this
well this exceptional piece of movie
hardware is just a modified 1970s shoe
polisher bought from Sears what do we do
I don’t know what do you think while it
looked great in ghostbusters it was also
recycled in lesser-known films such as
they live and Hulk Hogan’s suburban
commando homing device trait why didn’t
we just use this to the first place shut
up
number two the Nostromo the DeLoreans
mr. fusion alien and back to the future
I need fuel what do the Nostromo
spacecraft from alien and the DeLoreans
mr. fusion home energy reactor and back
to the future have in common well both
of them involved a crupp’s coffee
grinder in their design go ahead quick
get the car I just got here okay in the
Nostromo the caffeine a coffee grinder
can be seen carefully placed alongside
the spaceships technical wall paneling
in Back to the Future mr. Fusion is
pretty much just the coffee grinder
itself but on a custom base for some
reason the smooth shape of the grinder
as well as its neutral coloring made it
appear very scientific hey doc we’ve got
a backup we don’t have enough road to
get up to 88 roads well we’re going we
don’t need roads before we unveil our
number-one pick here are some honorable
mentions primary
number one the lightsaber Star Wars
Episode four a new hope we meet again at
last this is not the lightsaber is the
Star Wars saga is quintessential movie
prop who doesn’t know what this laser
sword looks and sounds like we can thank
Star Wars effect legend John steers for
the way the weapon looks what is it he’s
your father’s lightsaber this is the
weapon of a Jedi Knight not as clumsy or
random as a blaster steer is cobbled
together parts from calculators computer
cards and of course old press camera
battery packs and their flash hilts to
make it you can’t wind us if you strike
me down I shall become more powerful
than you can possibly imagine
but hey Star Wars has a great history of
this just look at qui-gon jinns comlink
from the Phantom Menace it was nothing
more than an altered gillette woman’s
razor may the force be with you
we need a medic Lorraine killed the
