An Arnold Schwarzenegger Motorcycle Jacket from "Terminator 2: Judgement Day."...

Description

An Arnold Schwarzenegger Motorcycle Jacket from "Terminator 2: Judgement Day." TriStar, 1991. Made of black leather, in the traditional biker style with numerous zippers, metal snaps, pockets, leather twine, and attached belt (buckle now missing), severely and purposely distressed throughout with tears, rips, dirt, and 'bullet' holes, handwritten annotation in white ink penned on the inside front right pocket reads "4 Prep Heli;" made for the actor as he portrayed "The Terminator," though unclear what scene he wears it in (if any) as his jacket gets shot up from the get-go. Because Schwarzenegger wears a black leather biker jacket in every scene of the film, there would have been numerous versions of it for him to wear during production, especially because it sustains more and more damage as the plot progresses.

PROVENANCE:
This piece was consigned directly to Heritage Auctions by Ron South, the Second Assistant Editor on the film, who obtained it after production wrapped; included is a Letter of Provenance from him attesting to this.
