Stephen misspoke regarding the live auction, but they DO have items in the 10s and 50s available in their buy-it-now section and sometimes in their timed auctions.
"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain" - One of the best lines in a movie ever. Blade Runner is such a masterpiece. While the moments may be lost, at least Roy's coat isn't. What a fantastic piece of art and history.
Its the amazing improvisation you get when you trust your actors to just, go for it. That line has been consecrated to the halls of human memory for all time, something he came up with on the spot, on the day... just elevated that movie from amazing to, iconic for all time. RIP Rutger Hauer... though to be fair Rutger, you're not dead. A shade of you lives within the minds and hearts of humanity and ever will.
yeah! i bought some to add to my fairly inaccurate replica. they are often called western or steampunk clasps by various retailers. i remember years ago there was a thread where people tracked them down based on press photos
@@kurothot2203 hahaha, yeah, I was pretty sure I'd seen them there. Never needed them, so I never bought any, but they're so interesting looking I honestly should get a couple next time I go.
Rutger Hauer was sublime in Blade Runner. It was like he wasn't acting. He WAS a replicant returning from space to confront his creator. He should have won an Oscar for supporting role. At least nominated.
In fact, Hauer changed his most iconic line in the entire movie without Scott knowing about it, it might even have been improvised on the spot. And it became one of the most iconic movie lines in the entire history of cinema. RIP Rutger Hauer. My mom met him once.
@@athaphian I believe he rewrote the whole "Tears in rain." monologue. Including adding that line. I just wanted to focus on his performance in my original comment. Certainly a life highlight for your mom I bet!
Clothes maketh the Replicant. One of the most amazing movies ever. The story. The sets. The props. The costumes. The soundtrack, oh that soundtrack that just doesn't peer into your soul, but yanks the door right open and brazenly steps right on in and makes itself home. The actors were all on point. Every. Single. Time. The editing. The camera work. Lighting. The mythology. The writing. Stuntwork. Choreography .Everything. Every time I watch it, I always get goosebumps. How can't anyone be moved by this movie. This story. It's lightning in a bottle. A true masterpiece of celluloid.
I actually like the contrast for the Batty coat. The character was very young in terms of time, but the weathering shows how much he went through in his short existence.
Wasn't roy at the end of his life-span when the movie took place? The replicants never got older than 4 years, so physical appearance wasn't really telling of age
Blade Runner is one of the best movies ever made. And Rutger Hauer and his "All these moments in time will be lost, like tears in rain" was beautiful and he added that himself. He was the perfect choice to play Roy Batty.
This is an absolute gem. What a privilege to see something like this up close! And now with the magic of HD we can see it in high detail, in all its glory. What a find.
Thank you so much for showcasing this. IMO the fact that the tubing was originally orange but was painted over to black helps sell the weathering work, and I love how it could give an extra layer of headcanon history to the coat. Maybe it was a particularly handsome coat at the time Roy got it, but by the time he came to earth, he had been through so much that none of the colours were left.
Remarkable. Blade Runner is my favorite film (I have about 99 2nd place finishers) and as Adam said, Rutger Hauer's performance is integral to the film. Just being in the same room with that coat and learning the story must have been amazing.
Speaking as a "Blade Runner" fanatic, this is amazing. I've been making detailed, custom figures for it and this is just invaluable in terms of seeing the detailing. Thank you for showing the slow-motion close-ups.
I LOVE that jacket since i Saw It in the 1986 , since thete i've has many black leather or imitation leather jackets with similar tubes, neck , shoulders and design
Reading all the comments regarding Roy’s lines left me with a melancholic nostalgia as that moment came flooding back…those few lines spoke so deeply of the human condition to experience pains and pleasures but to ultimately loose them all to the inescapable count down of our biological or mechanical expiration dates.
Thanks so much for showing the coat. Yes, the coat added so much to the character. I am so pleased it has been found and that your camera man took such care to show us this treasure. People look at me funny sometimes when I tell them my favorite movie is Bladerunner. They have not seen it. I try not to oversell the movie to them but tell them they must see it. It was so moving to me. The best.
Blade Runner really was the beginning of cyberpunk. The noir future hellscape of blade runner caused William Gibson to re-edit neuromancer so he wouldn't get killed by a lawsuit after he took in a viewing one afternoon just prior to finishing his book. Blade runner influenced not just noir but the future of all futures to come. WIthout it, Ghost in the Shell might not be what it was and countless countless movies and genres are still influenced to this day. It is a must watch film. Of any Period.
@@evil1st Dude, I completely agree. I like em' both, in that I feel like they are fitting to their respective environments. You'll be happy to know that there are a few replica makers that you can acquire that coat from online. If I was adept at leather work, it would be the first thing I'd try and craft, honestly.
The dark leather look went on to influence a lot of films. I always wondered what happened to the costumes in Dark City for the Strangers. Those were some really interesting costumes.
It's my favorite by a long shot. (surpassed 150 viewings of the original release, about 40-50 of director's cut.) I used to watch it on repeat for like a year, after working long hours in the big city as an appliance repairman. Ridley just had that eye for props. He received a lot of flak for Deckard's apartment. They went so over the top with the budget for that room that it became one of the main reasons the production was nearly halted. Alien is another, where I think the prop work and general art design is just above and beyond. True science-fiction masterpieces, thanks to this gentleman. What did you think of 2049? I'm so thankful I got to see that in theaters, at the IMAX, on LSD. That was one of the best days of my life. (I was too young and missed Bladerunner in the theaters.)
In mixed company I'm not sure if I'd admit to how many times I've watched the original. ☺ While I found 2049 good and it furthered the story line it just wasn't on the level as the first. The dark, wet, messy overcrowded environment added to it.
@street trash Right on man, I always loved watching science fiction movies on psychedelics. You wouldn't catch me watching anything smurf related alive, however. Still, glad you had a good time! Cheers
Oh my God! This design is so great! it's just canon, simple and complex, brutal and elegant, so dystopian, retrofuturistic, classic cyberpunk vibe. This collar...hundreds of drawings from my youth: agents, replicants, influenced - Blade Runner, Dune, Syndicate, etc. Thank you very much, Adam.
This brings me back! There was an old show called "Movie Magic" I used to love, showed all the prop works and effects magic. The last seasons kind of just showed CGI-stuff, but those early seasons were gold. All models and practical effects. Seeing all the old props reminds me of all that fantasic craftsmanship and experience behind old movies. (Well, there's still a lot of craftsmanship and experience needed, but I'm not in to computer stuff)
Blade Runner was so influential on many levels, fashion being one of them. In my opinion the greatest Syfy movie ever made. The movie was a stunning overload on the senses.
Probably my all time favourite film, I even like the original theatrical cut with the voiceover. Everyone reading this should go watch "On The Edge Of Blade Runner (720p 50fps HD remastered)", it's an encode of recording I did of a UK Channel 4 documentary which was only ever broadcast once back in 2000.
I posted a comment with the answer for the clasps, but I can't see it now. Guess it got removed because of the link to a store I had in it. Anyway, the clasps are one of the many types of Turn Lock Clasps. If you do a search for that name, you should be able to find them. They are made in different colors, including black.
First saw Bladerunner as a kid in 1983 early one sat morn when my parents were still sleeping. They had rented it on VHS. Even at 9 years old it blew my mind and inspired me to become the filmmaker I am today.
I was one of those kids who discovered BR on VHS, as well. Amazing film. I actually rented out a theater last year and had a private showing of the original for family and friends.
Rutger Hauer's Roy is one of the greatest film characters of all time imo. I'm sure i am not alone in saying he is my favorite character in that movie... also one of my fav movies, and i mean the Final Cut. lol.
holy shit thats amazing, and roy batty was always my favorite character in blade runner, rutger hauer was astounding in that film and is probably why its my favorite film ever.
Yesss. I keep hoping they'll do the David (with the questionable wig) that's on display behind them, but I'm not sure that's Adam's style of nerdery hahaha
What an amazing prop to show off to us! Incredible. I'm so stoked that people can replicate it accurately now! I feel like those Jabba shoes of Leia's in the background probably don't have a lot of references out there, either. Neat to get a peek here.
So many of these artifacts sadly just deteriorate, but this piece? It aged like a fine wine. Everything that happened to it before it got here just made it more of itself.
Found my way here after playing 2077... It was unexpected how it hit me. Now I can see how someone can appreciate these set pieces, and clothing. Deck shuffle that got me lost into the world or somewhere in between here and there.
The triangular buckles that are used on this are still available today! Theyre available from Cox the Saddler in the UK! I have two on my desk at the moment, as I use them for handbags! Mad!
Still haven't seen the OG blade runner though watching this video has definitely excited me to actually getting round to watching it. I love the chest pocket and honestly the weathered black paint over the orange tubing looks really nice.
Those clasps I've seen a bunch of times on Ren faire pouches and handmade leather journals and such and I myself have used them cuz they're really handy. Not sure what they would have been on originally though unless they bought them new. Maybe a handbag?
I love that these auctions do have props at all price levels. And what might be relatively worthless to the major of people might be a prized prop for another person.
Dutch pride!!! The greatest movie ever made. The last movie me and pops saw when it was shortly rereleased in 2019. I wish I had the money to buy a BR prop :( I don’t think they made just one of each btw. Visuals were so important and so much can go wrong during shooting, it would be naive to think they just made one of it.
WwwwooooooowwwWWWWWW!!!!!!! I would love to own this piece of history. Aesthetically it is still so incredible looking and like all the Blade Runner designs( from tech to costumes) it doesn't look dated. Thank you Adam for sharing this and R.I.P. RUTGER HAUER!!!!!! YOU GAVE BB US THE MOST ONCREDOBLE ANTI-HERO IN SCI-FI.
Mesmerizing. I think the rubber tubing of the era was only available in orange (in the UK at least) and was always meant to be black, but has just peeled with age.
It's certainly possible, though what makes me lean the other way is that you can see in BTS photos that his pants originally had matching orange/red bottom cuffs and side stripes that appear to have been crudely darkened.
Notice how the cameraman made sure to take in every detail of the back of the coat. Wanna bet Adam instructed them to do this so he could have as much info as possible for when he remakes this for his collection.
I've got one better. I met Rutger Hauer and watched Blade Runner (sitting right next to him), one of the Director's Cuts (without Harrison Ford's voice-over) in Vancouver in 1992. So beat that! And he was as you'd expect. Super cool, easy to talk to, pleasant and very nice.
The piping on the costumes (in this and prometheus / alien covenant) is from the 1965 Mario Bava film 'Planet of the Vampires'. Ridley talked about in some promo material for Prometheus.
I want to inform you that yes the back of the coat had a VERY brief spot in Blade Runner when Roy was asking Leon about his "precious photos" scene..... As they were both walking away, the back of Roy's coat was in the shot as they were going to the Eye Shop....Hate to call ya out, but I still love you, your work and Blade Runner 🥰👍
Check out the props and costumes from Propstore's upcoming auction: bit.ly/propstoreliveauction
a lot of great stuff but still out of my current price range. It's fun to at least get some more in depth peeks with Adam and the gang
Went to prop store nothing below £100 starting
Stephen misspoke regarding the live auction, but they DO have items in the 10s and 50s available in their buy-it-now section and sometimes in their timed auctions.
@Adam Savage's Tested have you done a video on that Billy Zane Phantom costume in the background? Jim Henson's Creature Shop made that.
I want to "Sloppy-Kiss" Pris while wearing this coat. 😘🤣
"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain" - One of the best lines in a movie ever. Blade Runner is such a masterpiece. While the moments may be lost, at least Roy's coat isn't. What a fantastic piece of art and history.
Apparently the line about tears in the rain was unscripted and improvised by Hauer, amazingly nostalgic and poetic.
And the line was written by Rutger Hauer himself ...
It was the delivery that made it so great. 😊
Such a great character. Rip Rutger Hauer.
Its the amazing improvisation you get when you trust your actors to just, go for it. That line has been consecrated to the halls of human memory for all time, something he came up with on the spot, on the day... just elevated that movie from amazing to, iconic for all time.

prop makers thank you. UPVOTE this so adam sees! XD

*if you read some of the backstory to Roy Batty's character then yes it explains a lot*
@@mattizap2988 Yup, that's what Roy wants Tyrell and J F Sebastian to help him with.
Rutger Hauer always looked old to me haha. He always looks the same but it’s most likely cause he became popular when he was older
I need as much Blade Runner content in my life as possible
Same here.
I want to "Sloppy-Kiss" Pris while wearing this coat. 😘🤣
I Want More Life! Falther!!! Lol 😆
Blade Runner is one of the best movies ever made. And Rutger Hauer and his "All these moments in time will be lost, like tears in rain" was beautiful and he added that himself. He was the perfect choice to play Roy Batty.

@@alexandresilva3427 most unexpectedly beautiful sequel for sure. Adore those films.
I'd likely say Blade Runner and The Thing are tied for first.

A classic that does not age. I saw it when it first came out and wondered why no one else was raving about it.
Would love to wear one of these. Cyberpunk fashion is so rad!
it would be cool if adam could make his own version of it in a 1 day build. that would be interesting
First thing I thought, when I saw the thumbnail pic. He's gotta!
Joe's tench coat would be cool too I mean Roy Batty is legendary but the look of that mask collar of 2049's tench coat makes it very unique
@@evil1st Dude, I completely agree. I like em' both, in that I feel like they are fitting to their respective environments.
You'll be happy to know that there are a few replica makers that you can acquire that coat from online. If I was adept at leather work, it would be the first thing I'd try and craft, honestly.
At last I can now make an accurate 1/6 scale Roy batty Jacket from one of my favourite movies
The dark leather look went on to influence a lot of films. I always wondered what happened to the costumes in Dark City for the Strangers. Those were some really interesting costumes.
Not just film - culture in general. The cyberpunk leather/dark look didn't really exist till Blade Runner.
Dark City is so underrated it's a crime. It's an awesome film.
Rutger Hauer should get a posthumous Oscar for his performance. It made the movie
never realized this was the inspiration for the synth courser suit from fallout 4 until now. Very cool
I saw this in the auction and knew Adam wouldn't be able to resist
I've watched a lot of sci fi over decades but the original Blade Runner is still Top Shelf with me and props like this made it that.
It's my favorite by a long shot. (surpassed 150 viewings of the original release, about 40-50 of director's cut.) I used to watch it on repeat for like a year, after working long hours in the big city as an appliance repairman.

Too bad you were so young to see it the first time in a movie theatre. The visual effects and sound was incredible.
Can anyone else see Adam doing a Comic - Con Build and walk through as Roy Batty? I can and can't wait to see it.
Very cool piece of movie memorabilia. A great character played by an even greater actor. Rest in peace Rutger Hauer.

Given love of back story- what if it was Roy who painted his Mars Military Coat black to blend in on Earth. . . Great vidi true treasure
Blades jacket was in the back ground looking slick
Just watched blade runner and you definitely get to see the back of roys coat.. 26mins in in the version I'm watching clear as day
Propstore: UK Propstore, how can we help you?
Some person just digging through their closet: I have seen things you wouldn't believe.
Wow, I'm not a collector of replicas/toys etc, but Blade Runner being my all time fave movie, this is incredible!

cant wait to see the video of adam wearing his new blade runner jacket and making a copy of it for everyday use, im sure he will be bidding on it
Oh my god, THIS COAT!! You guys are kill'n me here!
Always wanted to make one of these but never had enough reference material to even get started. It's even more glorious than I thought.
holy shit thats amazing, and roy batty was always my favorite character in blade runner, rutger hauer was astounding in that film and is probably why its my favorite film ever.
I've really enjoyed this "series" and I'm hoping it never ends.
Yesss. I keep hoping they'll do the David (with the questionable wig) that's on display behind them, but I'm not sure that's Adam's style of nerdery hahaha
It's so great to appreciate the brilliant design and production of props like this.
That thing is an absolute iconic and legendary piece of tech-noir fashion. It needs to be in a museum.
It honestly does. Right up there with Dorothy's rubbly slippers at the Smithsonian.
No fucking way!!!
...I love that coat. This is like the coolest youtube recommendation in quite sometime!
Thank you for this video. I love Bladrunner and this coat is just insane. Somebody needs to make. these to sell.
I just love this whole nerding out over a movie prop, esp when it is my favorite movie of all times.
An amazing find! Love how Propstore loves to share their finds before the auctions. You can feel their excitement. Always loved their booth at SDCC.
Thankyou!
I'm crying a little bit. Amazing and holy hell the back of the jacket is glorious.
the heavy weathering from real life and the orange look awesome... they should replicate that for a film
Awesome! Thanks for sharing these prop store items!
What an amazing prop to show off to us! Incredible. I'm so stoked that people can replicate it accurately now!
I feel like those Jabba shoes of Leia's in the background probably don't have a lot of references out there, either. Neat to get a peek here.
WOW! I would have loved to see the orange trim before the painted it black.
Adam is not letting that out of his sight without at least a million reference photos.
Rest in Peace Rutger Hauer. Forever ingraved in our child mind. Thank You.
So many of these artifacts sadly just deteriorate, but this piece? It aged like a fine wine. Everything that happened to it before it got here just made it more of itself.
Wonderful bit of cinematography history. I'm happy that it was kept for posterity. I wish the new owner will take care of it. 💙
I was blown away to learn the closure on this is a turn lock clasp like I used back when I didnt make my own fittings.
Thank you for this moment.
It is the best science fiction movie of all time. ever.
Those are leather bag closures and I absolutely love the idea of them as a button!
I absolutely love how excited they both are.
This prop sits at the top of the epic props list, it oozes character!
i hope this being found results in some more accurate replicas and patterns cause id love to make or buy one, that design kicks so much ass
On the RPF there's a thread "Rutger Hauer/ Roy Batty from Blade Runner Coat!" where a maker is gauging interest in a replica run.
So amazing to see. The working and details! Oh my!
Found my way here after playing 2077...
It was unexpected how it hit me.
Now I can see how someone can appreciate these set pieces, and clothing.

Absolutely amazing that this thing even still exists, and has just been hidden away in someone's home all these years.

I don’t think they made just one of each btw.
Visuals were so important and so much can go wrong during shooting, it would be naive to think they just made one of it.
Buy it Adam. You know you want it!!!
WwwwooooooowwwWWWWWW!!!!!!! I would love to own this piece of history. Aesthetically it is still so incredible looking and like all the Blade Runner designs( from tech to costumes) it doesn't look dated. Thank you Adam for sharing this and R.I.P. RUTGER HAUER!!!!!! YOU GAVE BB US THE MOST ONCREDOBLE ANTI-HERO IN SCI-FI.
Blade runner characters are some of my favorite Halloween costumes.
Wow, one of the best films ever made.
"It belongs in a museum!"
Mesmerizing. I think the rubber tubing of the era was only available in orange (in the UK at least) and was always meant to be black, but has just peeled with age.
It's certainly possible, though what makes me lean the other way is that you can see in BTS photos that his pants originally had matching orange/red bottom cuffs and side stripes that appear to have been crudely darkened.
@@Thomas_Esson very interesting. I'll ask Ridley about it when he next calls me for some art direction advice :)
Those clasps sort of remind me of the sort of thing you'd see in racing on a 5 point harness.
Notice how the cameraman made sure to take in every detail of the back of the coat. Wanna bet Adam instructed them to do this so he could have as much info as possible for when he remakes this for his collection.
Thanks for sharing this video. Would have been great to have a shot of Roy Batty next to the jacket.
I've got one better. I met Rutger Hauer and watched Blade Runner (sitting right next to him), one of the Director's Cuts (without Harrison Ford's voice-over) in Vancouver in 1992. So beat that! And he was as you'd expect. Super cool, easy to talk to, pleasant and very nice.
Adam must have been absolutely bursting to try it on.
The piping on the costumes (in this and prometheus / alien covenant) is from the 1965 Mario Bava film 'Planet of the Vampires'. Ridley talked about in some promo material for Prometheus.
The clasp is a latch for things like bags. you can buy them in several sizes at at Tandy or Sprngfield leather.
I want to inform you that yes the back of the coat had a VERY brief spot in Blade Runner when Roy was asking Leon about his "precious photos" scene..... As they were both walking away, the back of Roy's coat was in the shot as they were going to the Eye Shop....Hate to call ya out, but I still love you, your work and Blade Runner 🥰👍
Clearly a shorter coat originally, had about 18 inches added at the bottom.
The piping looks to be vinyl covered rope, you can see the spiral pattern.
