This piece was given to me by a very dear friend in Houston who is a fellow prop collector...its one of my favorite pieces...from "The Saint" w/ Val Kilmer, his gadget knife.  This was the one seen when he purposely cuts his face, while acting drunk to gain access to Elizabeth Shue's notes.  They made six (6) or so gadget knives for the film, I have accounted for 4 others in Planet Hollywood.

This is kinda interesting...the pistol is an actual Ruger .22lr pistol that was modified with a fake supressor and able to cycle blanks...screen-used in "Collateral" with Tom Cruise...remember the Jazz Club scene ?

Cheers.

it's been torturous, and to say the least, frustrating....

but after nearly 5 weeks of old one-two between me, Simon, and the supplier, we've gotten them to agree to make a (large) batch of the material...

500m to be precise...

this is the absolute minimum they would make, and at the minor cost of £8.50pm!....so we need £4250/us$8500 for the material alone.

believe it or not this is a result, compared to the original bargaining position...
so now we need to go back to the beginning and find out how many people will stump up hard cash to secure this once in a lifetime (and probably once worn, at least as soon as the misses sees u in it!) iconic screen item.
To cushion the financial blow, we had envisioned a few of us "funding" the escapade, paying many times that which others would be prepared to pay, such that we can get the average down for the bulk of the orders.
We had been targeting around the £225/us$450 mark, including having the shirt made by the very same shirt makers that cut and created DC's own shirts.

This was calculated based upon two of us paying £500/$1000 each, and the remaining say 25ish members buying a shirt (or fewer buying multiple shirts) for approx $450 including the cost of making the shirt.

What price would you pay for this authentic shirt (Simon has located the actual company who made the original, and this would add another £90/$180 onto the cost of the fabric) made to measure to exactly fit your own DC-torso....

Clearly, the more that join, the lower the average cost of each shirt. Similarly, those who like myself are desperate for the shirt, can pay more to help drive the average cost down and secure success...

Also, there is no limit to the number of shirts you can buy; maybe one in your own size, and one in the exact size worn by DC?...

Remember, the more shirts purchased, the more the average cost comes down for everyone.

Also, in view of the cost of the material, I doubt there will ever be any other shirts made. These will be truely unique, and can be heavily personalised.

how does this sound?....we need to know definitely asap....and a deposit will need to be made up front.

finally, THIS IS A NON-PROFIT ENDEAVOUR.
indeed, some of us will be substantially out of pocket. But as Mantis said recently, this is a sickness...

Here is a list of those who expressed an interest on the original thread;

so 20+ "interest-eds"...

It would be fantastic if all remained interested at the indicated average price, but if some can only commit to a lower price, please indicate in your reply. Rememember, the average price will only be determined when we know how many are committed.

again, 4 is a minimum, but I can extend the order if there is more interest...

I would like to have this suit made but I can't really make a list of all the specifications. What should I tell the tailor about the lapels, etc..

And the main concern is that I think that the pinstripe is pink. But I'm not sure. Anyone knows better than me?

I'll vote for Timothy Dalton escaping from a hoard of scuba divers by shooting his spear gun into the pontoon of a passing sea plane, climbing up the cable, throwing out the pilot, and flying away!

Since just finishing reading diamonds are forever, i really like the idea of a story starting somewhere like zimbabwe streatching across and down the Americas.

What do u think?

Yesterday, I had a Johnnie Walker Black Label and a delicious Amaretto sour at the Sofitel Montreal. Very nice evening, because I also had blue cheese.

...which is intended as the first step in promoting Blood & Ashes, the debut novel for Oscar Jade, whom I hope will feature in several more... 

It's a very basic site thus far---I hope to upgrade it soon, and will definitely do so early in 2010 when the book shows up on Amazon.com, etc...but in the meantime, I'm trying to figure out how to put some vintage 1940s music on the site...have a guest book, etc...

Anyway, thanks for looking!

This is very similar to his CR workout as should be expected.  Simon Waterson was his trainer again.  This actually looks like a better program, though it is light on cardio. Enjoy

Actor David Carradine found dead in Bangkok 

June 5, 2009 - 12:36AM

Actor David Carradine, star of the 1970s TV series Kung Fu who also had a wide-ranging career in the movies, has been found dead in the Thai capital, Bangkok.

A spokesman for the US Embassy, Michael Turner, confirmed the death of the 72-year-old actor. He says Carradine died either late on Wednesday or early Thursday, but he could not provide further details out of consideration for his family.

The website of the newspaper The Nation cited unidentified police sources as saying Carradine was found on Thursday hanged in his luxury hotel room and is believed to have committed suicide.

Carradine was a leading member of a venerable Hollywood acting family that included his father, character actor John Carradine, and brother Keith.

What do James Bond and Felix both have in common?
