hey guys

i know...i know i should just get a tony or a wested but its not for me

im making a kingdom of the crystal skull remake this summer and i need a jacket for my indy charicter and he wouldent wear it after that so its just pointless buying a jacket for more than $100

im only 14 and dont have a lot of doe

iv tryed ebay and its no good because the bidding just goes on and on

i just need one thats at least recognizable

any links or advice would be great


thanks guys



all the best
Mutt

The cheapest one I know of is Todd's Standard ($150). It's extremely authentic and quite wearable (but it's a thin jacket and durability is a question mark.....but it's cheap so what more can you ask?). For under $100, you could try looking for a used one in Cairo Bazaar.

PM sent.

I've seen Todd's seconds sell for under $100 on eBay

How about a thrift store then? I doubt that if you got something, people would point out that it wasn't SA.

'bomb is good to bring that up, which inspires another thought; You might also consider posting in the "Marrakesh Supply" section. That's the "wanted to buy" section, in case you are unaware. Explain what your after and the price range your dealing with. Who knows. Somebody may have exactly what you want lurking in the back of a closet.

may i ask how you are planning on doing a remake if you don't have a lot of money? CGI programs and software get pretty expensive, not to mention equipment, wardrobe, set design blah blah blah

Check out 'Be Kind, Rewind', Knibs; a movie from last 2008 starring Jack Black. It demonstrates how you can do a remake of a film on
a really tight budget! Maybe that's the sort of thing the OP is hoping to recreate?
Couldn't be any worse than the original film, at any rate...

I'm sure it can be done, I'm just not sure about the QUALITY that will be seen in the end

I see that Mutt is in the UK. I think they have a contest over there for remaking a film from the past year with like a 10 minute time limit. Something like that. Perhaps that's what he means, because that sounds like fun!

I loved that movie.. matter of fact it made me want to see Ghostbusters for the first time.

What? You've never seen Ghostbusters?!

Only bits and pieces. I finally saw it through a couple of weeks ago.. I was disappointed.. I barely cracked a smile.

Are you talking about 1 or 2? 2 I could understand but 1 I thought was good. Also I haven't seen it in about 15 years.

It was 1, I don't like starting in the middle of a franchise.

Randy

Keep your eyes peeled in the classified section.

I've seen a LOT of nice brand new jackets go for peanuts, so you don't have to just substitute with the 'cheapest'... you could get hold of a top drawer jacket for the same price, or even less. They're out there, and I see them rattle through the section every week.

Good luck on your search, but don't sell yourself short, Mutt. Shop smart.

"Shop smart, shop S-Mart." I love that movie!
