Anyone have a particular movie focus?

Chainsaws from various movies (Texas Chainsaw Massacres, Evil Dead/ Army of Darkness, etc), and A New Hope seem to be my focus. But, I do whatever tickles my fancy.

I think we have a focus, because of the research involved. You come to get a feel for the movie, where they were coming from, and what they used and wanted from the props. It's almost easier to focus, than keep jumping around.

We weren't talking about lunch break viewing preferences.? ;)
 
Right now I'm strictly a lightsaber collector. Once I get all the ones I want, I'm going to try and focus on a little from Ghostbusters, Superman, and Back to the Future.
 
Lee, nice topic,

ref, ESB, kinda agree with you there, ANH blew me away, but ESB, got me started collecting,
but just for fun, or I just kinda always got stuff I thought was fun, and not to complete a set.

My ESB focus, was, how very much the HOTH battle, looked exactly like a chess match/board,

and tried to create one with action figures at that time. I never completed the idea,
and so now have (still sealed) 8-SnowTroopers and 8-Rebel Troopers in a box somewhere,
with the rest of the action figures.
NOTE, at that time, I saw the Queens, as the Dark and Light side of the force.

Other movie/tv I have stuff from,

Rocky Horror Picture Show
Star Trek (um, well, from 1966 to 1977....)
Space 1999
Thunderbirds
Fireball XL-5
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea (Flying Sub, still pretty cool)
UFO

but really, it's mostly what ever Star Wars stuff I find fun,
like and original reel-to-reel tape of ANH soundtrack, that I can not even play:)

I'm after an Audrey Tautou if you've got one you wanna get rid of? :p

Audrey... :love
 
I don't focus because I collect a wide variety of props and masks from all monster and scifi movies...but I definitely lean towards American Werewolf in London, Goonies, Friday the 13th, and Killer Klowns from Outer space
 
Star Wars: A New Hope, Star Wars: The Empire Strikes back, Superman The Movie, Aliens, Starship Troopers, Terminator, Predator I & II, Indiana Jones, Blade Runner, Voyagers (TV Series), StreetHawk (TV Series), and the list goes on... :D
 
Anything that is cool or strikes peeks my intrest. My first prop is my B9 robot from LIS and then I go ever direction from there. If I can get dimentions or find a kit I can afford I build it. I love anything thats been in a movie or TV show. It's all great ............. I've become single again lately so I'm paying a ton in support and lost my house but still have my props and autographs to decorate my new pad when I can afford a down payment. LOL
 
Iv'e collected a lot of things over the last 25 years, but over time it seems like my main interest has been 1920's-30's action/adventure films (Indiana Jones, The Rocketeer, The Mummy, The Phantom, The Shadow, etc.)...

I still have other interests (swords, other iconic films (Back to the Future, Titanic, Star Wars O/T, etc.) but I've sort of limited my recent acquisitions to specific, iconic pieces, rather than just buying generic stuff 'cuz it's cool or popular.
 
I'm making my own Star Wars universe fan film, so most all my props are from the OT, or OT inspired.

I have a small collection of TOS Star Trek props too, and my all time favorite prop, the M41-A Pulse Rifle from Aliens, but that's about it. I am working on my own Alien's Colonial Marine helmet, motion scanner, etc.

I am a fan of the Bladerunner Blaster, and the Logan's Run flame gun, so those are soon to be on the work bench, just as soon as I can get some TOS Battlestar Galactica gear done.

heck, call it sci-fi and I'm a fan.

Doc

:) yes robots. You got an awesome B-9 :thumbsup Robby isnt' too shabby either .


My fetish is basically Star Wars, although just about all scifi excites me.
 
Hmmmm . . i wonder . . .

seriously though, anything i can get my hands on, but am focusing on a Boba suit and am now getting into studio scale modeling

and I love 80's porn, give me some Zara Whites baby(80's enough for ya?)
 
No particular film-focus for me. I try to get "at least one" prop from any scifi show or film that I really like. (This usually boils down to getting the hero's gun though.) The bigger effect a show has had on my life, the more stuff I tend to get. Sometimes I end up getting something I never in a million years thought I would.

Quirky example:

When I started watching Farscape a couple of months ago, I said to myself that I'd never get a pulse pistol because I wasn't really into the design. Well, last week, with only six episodes to go, I just had to have Winona. She's (hopefully) on her way to me as I write this and I'll be snuggling 'er while watching Peacekeeper Wars in the next few days. :p
 
I'm a Tim Burton/Michael Keaton Batman guy. Batman from 1989 and Batman Returns are my passion.

Star Wars ANH Vader is my second focus

X-Men 1 Wolverine is my third.

I dabble in The Punisher
