Vintage star wars toys in films

[TWOFOOT]

I know it's been a topic before but it's quite a good one.
Just thought I would post some pictures of vintage star wars toys in poltergeist. As you can see it must of been about the time Empire was released. Sorry if the pics are not that clear. They were screen dumps from my mobile.
Anyone know of any other films? I think E.T. might have some in.

I remember some in a episode of the Two Ronnies....not a film I know.

ET definitely had some in.

Does some film not have the Millenium falcon crashed into a building in it?
Or have I been imagining things, again!?

what's up with the red eye Vader case? I thought that was only a store display?

and he got his tie fighter upside down in the first pic :roll: we all should have been detectives

Poltergeist even went as far as having the TIE fighter fly through a shot complete with sound effect, I've even found a clip, its at the 28 second mark:

More than likely it was done on the set so details would show up a little more on camera. Otherwise it would show up as a Vader shaped Black spot.

That sounds like a lot of effort for a background toy?

I uploaded a few other screen grabs in this rs thread

Another one is the Christmas Horror film, Silent Night Deadly Night. I finally got around to watching this last month and there's a ton of boxed Jabbas in that one. I'll see about getting some screen captures and post them here.

No, not for the "toy" to show up, but for the "background prop" to not show up as a blank, Black spot on the screen.

Also, here's a shot from an episode of "Married with Children".

I only new that one because it had been discussed before on another forum. There's a few threads that have discussed it over the years. I'll see if I can dig most of those up and post the links here.

Here's another shot from that same film. Quite cool cos you can see a Luke 'gunner pic' moc just to the right of the woman's head. 8)

Interesting thread- I have never spotted any vintage in a film, I will keep an eye peeled from now on!

 

[trilogoman]

I think E.T. had a loose Hammerhead in it as well... :idea:

And maybe a Boba Fett.
