What ONE prop has made it into the most movies?

[Funky]

Cutiehoney's thread about the Minilite headset get me thinking. What One prop (and no I'm not talking about a brick, a cigarrette or a post it note) is recognized in the most amount of movies? It has to be a prop worthy of display.

The overthruster from Buckaroo Banzai?? I can think of several movies/TV shows that has been in....

...for example?

The idol from Raiders has made it into a few.
Other than Raiders, I know it's been in both one of those Spy Kids movies and "The Majestic". Also can see a few shots of Adams on Mythbusters.

If I had to make a guess, I'd say probably the Texas Ranger Badge... I don't have specific examples, but geeze, lots of westerns, TV shows, etc. over decades...

starship troopers armor.

that crap shows up EVERYWHERE.

seconded by blade trinitys 3 barrel winchester.

If you would have included TV props I would have said the foam costume on Conan O'Brien that's been used for about 15 different skits

Heh, I remember it from some allergy medicine commercial too- scanning alien pollen or something.

I'd bet on the PKE as well.

 

[SgtFang]

OH. That orange/red neon thing from Modern Props too- it had the 4 horizontal neon tubes that sequenced in a rolling motion.

"V"
"Trek II"
"Buck Rogers"
"Galactica"
Bunch of other stuff- help me out.

[dr_slurpee]

I think I remember someone pointing out the PKE on Knight Rider as well.

 

[spidermale]

yeah that neon thing was even in the last starfighter and I think airplane II? I think the pke meter has the record thus far. The necronomicon was in Evil Dead II, Army of Darkness and Jason goes to hell the final friday.

 

[Ramiel]

I have to agree with hydin... The starship troopers armor is EVERYWHERE... :eek

 

[DemonSeed]

The graflex flash gun shows up on alot of large format cams in period movies.....what a weird coincidence, huh? :lol

 

[vaderdarth]

I was gonna say broom handle mausers and graflex flashguns. I see them in all the appropriately dated films. The press always used the flashgun and the germans used the mauser in war films.

It's been in SOOO many SciFi movies and TV shows. Several different TNG, DS9 and Voyager episodes.

Here's a picture of it turned off in TNG.

In Airplane II indeed,
"Sir these lights keep flashing back and forth. Other than that, this thing seems to have no other purpose."
