Arnold Schwarzenegger "Terminator" prosthetic knee joint from The Terminator....

Description

Arnold Schwarzenegger "Terminator" prosthetic knee joint from The Terminator. (Orion, 1984) Vintage original prosthetic cyborg knee joint constructed of cast polyfoam machine joint plated with metallic silver and expertly studio painted and finished to appear as solid, worn metal. The facing joint is affixed to 2-foam and foil tape covered hoops, through which the actor would slip his leg. When viewed through distressed costume and flesh prosthetics, it would appear to reveal the endoskeleton of "The Terminator" (Schwarzenegger). Highly visible during the factory fight sequence when The Terminator's hand is crushed in machinery, pinning him in place. The piece measures 11 x 4 x 4 in. attached to 1-hoop 7 in. and 1-hoop 4 in. Exhibiting production wear and studio distress. In very good to fine condition. Provenance: Christie's South Kensington.
