THE ROCKETEER ORIGINAL STUNT DOUBLE HELMET |
Updated: March 22, 2025
The Rocketeer's ( Bill Campbell ) stunt helmet from Joe Johnston's action-adventure film The Rocketeer. This helmet was attached to a stunt dummy used for shots showing the flying hero bouncing across a pond, before eventually crashing into a bank after saving someone's life at Bigelow's Air Circus.
The resin helmet is finished in gold paint. It features a long fin adhered to the top, a pair of tinted acrylic eye lenses, and a grill located at the mouth. Faux metal nuts are dotted around the lenses, and the helmet's interior is painted black, which has chipped away in some places. There are signs of production use still present on the helmet, including scuffing to the paint finish, glue remnants on the lenses, and a screw hole on the back from when it was mounted to the dummy. The impact of the dummy hitting the bank during filming caused notable damage to the rear of the helmet, and there is a crack near the mouth's right side. Dimensions: 47 cm x 23 cm x 28 cm ( 18½" x 9" x 11" ).
Value: $5,000.
