The L.O.O.K.E.R. Gun... did anyone...?

[DrStranglove]

...did anyone ever make one? I did a search here and on google and found an old thread with nothing much. (And an older one where I apparently asked it in 2002!)

Anyone?

An old favorite that's just never made it to the front burner.

I think I have some drawings.

I know we have talked about it on the board somewhere and here it is.

Was that a engine timer gun ?

^^^ Thanks. I saw those plans, it looks poor fan made from memory. Does anyone have the dvd and can get some caps for us?

I was just thinking about this the other day as well. I'd love to see anyone's props from this movie.

I remember it looked pretty cool. But then I remembered the Star Wars holiday special as being cool. Hope the L.O.O.K.E.R. gun still looks cool.

Oops iPhone double post.

How about a 1 to 1 Laurie Partridge (aka Susan Dey) replicator? Remember catching that one on HBO back in the day and squirting pepsi through my nose when she gets a full nude body scan.

Any new info or updates on this...?

nothing really, but did find a couple of (not very good) pics:

I've got it on DVD. Give me a while and I'll post some screenshots.

Here's a few screenshots. I'll get some more, better ones, tomorrow,

IIRC the Starlog Magazine of Sci-Fi Weapons had the Looker gun in it.

Most of the other prints in that book were not too good, but the that one was pretty close.

I always like the movie, and the guns. I remember when "Looker" came out, in an interview Michael Crichton said that the movie was originally suppose to be a sexy comedy about the modeling industry, but the studio had different plans. :lol

 

[The Wolf]

I can't imagine Crichton writing a sexy comedy about models. It seems more like he would write an adventure where someone is pulled in something over their head with technology just beyond what we have now.

Can I get a confirmation on the presence of the Looker gun in the Starlog Photo Guidebook Science Fiction Weapons Vol #1
I don't want to buy one if it isn't in there. I've tried my best Google-fu for a table of contents without any luck. I found some dead links of full scans from 2011 and a few random pages, but nothing conclusive. Any help is appreciated.

Update: 5/5/15

I finally found a copy that was recently uploaded on archive.org. A quick scan shows no obvious LOOKER references.
