Disney Studios Backlot Tour Help & Questions

OneHotHemi · 02-12-2010, 11:53 AM

BLUE that's great! I really apprecitate it!

Starfighter29 · 02-12-2010, 02:03 PM

Here are a few pics I took back in June 2009. You can see some of the Rocketeer props including the miniature Bull Dog Cafe. You can also see some Honey I Blew Up the Kid props as well.

You have no idea the monster you have unleashed in me by posting pics of those glue boxes!!!

EvilRocketeer · 02-12-2010, 06:22 PM

Great rocketeer pictures.

The little bull dog cafe model was a production model used for the flim to use as a reference to build the bigger cafe.

I have only seen three of them (I own one of them).

I know a member here use to own one. His was cut horizontal ..The one in your photo is cut vertically, and mine isn't cut.

BlueHarvest · 02-12-2010, 07:16 PM

Here are the three SST pics I promised

Firefoxm31 · 02-12-2010, 07:26 PM

I'd like to see some old pics from back when I was there....one problem, they didn't allow photography there, but I saw photos taken all the time anyway, lol. This whole prop house area was added that you guys have all the pics of when they revamped the backlot tour...the extended queue was added and the prop warehouse. I know when you entered the special effects warehouse old version, there were props 3 stories high, everywhere you looked movie props, excluding what was on the floor in the center, we're talking major props too, everything from 50's up.

Not sure I know what you mean by gold one.
The Johnny 5 they had there had a normal finish.
We had one at the Planet Hollywood warehouse as well.
I remember speaking to Eric Allard about when I was repairing it.

We sent it back to Sony as well.

OneHotHemi · 02-12-2010, 10:20 PM

That's them! That's the nuke launcher, and mini nuke, along with a stunt claw! Very cool pics!

proplica · 02-12-2010, 10:23 PM

Here's the one we had. I remember it was really lightweight, fiberglass I believe.

OneHotHemi · 02-12-2010, 10:26 PM

Here's mine!

It is fiberglass, it has been beaten up a bit, it was actually tossed by rico on to a dead bug before jumping into the ditch and has some cracks and minor damage, they cut the scene actually but its on the behind the scene footage showing them loading the rocket with the pyrotechnics. I actually screen matched mine using the bluray to the one Rico uses to blast the bug hole right before they get to the outpost towards the end of the movie, so I was totally stoked! The LED screen lights up and everything on it. The nuke had a model rocket engine inserted into the back up it and using the rocket launcher, actually shot the nuke out a ways.

OneHotHemi · 02-12-2010, 10:34 PM

I guess it was displayed! cuz there are the pics! lol

a few forum buddys of mine also have some pics! I was totally stoked to know the other one existed! I'd love to get m hands on the nuke for my collection! if anyone knows where they are, I offer a nice reward! and no stealing the one from disney wont work

That looks to be a stunt version or model 2 as eric called it, as you can see it dosent have the working led aparatus. Anymore pics on the J5?

You are correct, it was a "shell"....but designed to be motorized if the production called for it....

don't want to hijack the thread so just one to add...

OneHotHemi · 02-13-2010, 12:41 AM

Ahh i miss J5... great character. to bad disney had to hock him into a bleeping moronic trash compactor....

So, I guess that wasn't the gold one then... I've heard Disney had the gold one on display in Florida too...

Tell me they didn't really trash that J5?... That'd make me want to kill someone.

Not from the tour, but I took a bunch of pics of the hero bot sold at auction a couple of years ago... It was nice to see him in person! He's in England now...

Not sure what happened to that one, but I am sure someone in the industry probably has it. I haven't seen it out there.

We also had two of the miniature Johnny 5s, one went back to Sony, it was motorized.

Great shots, thanks for sharing. If I hear any news about them I will let you know. I am friends with one of the crew guys that built them. I have a set of the Johnny 5 eyes and a couple other things.

Ahh, completely missed your post with the video.. That's pretty cool. I'd imagine he's mothballed in a warehouse somewhere... Does anyone know if the gold one was functional at all (I mean, originally). You see him move a little in the film, but was he fully R/C like the hero bot, or just a few basic functions?

It's back... The hosting company does that every once in a while...

It's usually back up in a matter of hours when it happens.

It's my site with my pictures, they aren't going anywhere.
