Hey guys.
Lately I've been on a Pulp Fiction prop bender, and here's what I have so far:
[attachmentid=12129]
It's a silver version of the famous gold "Hanoi ass watch" that Christopher Walken's character gave to young Butch and that years later ultimately cost Vincent Vega his life:
[attachmentid=12130]
I got both the watch and the vintage "© 1956 Fine Ent. Inc" porcelain kangaroo off eBay. The Kangaroo is pretty common and cheap, despite the fact that the sellers pitch it as a Pulp Fiction prop, although the spray paint schemes vary considerably, but good luck finding this pre-WWI Lancet wrist watch in gold or silver - took me nearly a year.
Mine actually works (not so well...) and I'm thinking of getting it gold plated or using gold Rub-N-Buff to make it look more like the movie version. Any recommendations? It has a pocket-watch style rear case cover that reveals the intricate functioning watchworks inside:
[attachmentid=12131]
The inside of the cover reads "FLEURIER WATCH Co, SWISS" and a hand-engraved number below it. There's even a tarnished fingerprint that could well be close to 100 years old.
I know the Apple cigarettes and BMF wallet replicas are also regularly sold on eBay, and I plan on getting those too, but I'm also on the lookout for the following, which I haven't found yet:
The last book Vincent Vega ever read:
[attachmentid=12132]
The matches from Jack Rabbit Slim's:
[attachmentid=12133]
and the "Z" keychain that belonged to Zed's chopper, baby:
[attachmentid=12134]
If anyone knows a source for the keychain, matches, or book, or is willing to take these on as a project, I'd be in his debt.
Also, if you've bought or made your own Pulp Fiction props, please post them for everybody's enjoyment.
By the way, the screen caps are from the Special Edition DVD with bonus material disc, which has many great graphics used to create the film's paper props, but unfortunately they compress horizontally when I save them (is that an anti-infringement precaution? Doesn't happen when I save frames from the film itself...), and there's no artwork for the book cover.
