Just brought this jet pack, now whats it from?

If you could find out the name of the guy he got it from you might turn something up from his film credits?
 
I recall a commercial, or advertising video from a few years ago, about the future of commuting. It might have been from the UK. I don't think it was a US commercial.

Anyway, I'm pretty sure this jetpack was the vehicle they were all using. I think there were various colors, and it was a bunch of business men landing and taking off from a rooftop? Does that ring any bells with anyone?

I keep wanting to say it was a citroen commercial, but I can't seem to find anything.

I know I saw it online, so I'll see if I can't find what I'm talking about!
 
Thanks JKolton I think your the winner. I have just received some more photos from the seller and among the pics are some Renault tail lights. I just need to find the advert, I might try going straight to Renault.
 
:facepalm I just phoned the seller about the pics he sent me and mentioned the Renault lights, apparently he sent them by mistake and they are from an auction he has running at the moment.
 
Oh thank goodness.. that was bugging me, once I started looking & couldn't find it.. LOL!
I'm way too OCD to be looking at threads like this..
That's a very cool commercial!
 
Wow I actually remember that commercial now that you mention it. I think i saw it online. It's a well built prop for being in the commercial for such a short time.
 
Outstanding work JKolton, thank you! I looked for probably an hour yesterday, trying all kind of combinations of flying, flight, pod, escape, pack, etc..

Andy19422, if you look at 0:31 and 0:40 - 0:42, you can see the "H 521" markings that are in yours.

..and could that indeed be the VW hovercar on the right-side traffic at 0:10 - 0:11?? Hmmm...

Cool prop, man, those things look fun to fly around in..
 
Great detective work JKolton, I would never have found that :cheers Here are a couple more pics.

Now you have found it I have a dilemma, as it's from an add and not a TV or movie prop do I sell it or keep it. One more thing I was thinking is making an armed army version with stub wings, rockets and guns or a police version in the same style as Bladerunner. What do you guys think?
A big thanks also to the rest of you guys that were searching for it :thumbsup
 
I think you should keep it and do something fun with it. Although now that you know where it's from, it's something a company like Propstore might be able to sell for you at a profit.

Love the BladeRunner idea. Keep it for sure regardless. Super cool prop and pretty fun commercial.
 
How the hell did you find that advert! At least I can sleep now , this was really bugging me for some reason.
 
I wonder if this commercial ever hit the UK in it's "Sure" incarnation as we don't have Rexona here.
Can't find it yet, but we'll see........................................
