Our expert's notes

A clapperboard used in the production of the sci-fi action blockbuster Demolition Man. Kept in cryogenic stasis for forty years, LAPD cop John Spartan (Sylvester Stallone) is pulled out of the ice to track down the ruthless maniac Simon Phoenix (Wesley Snipes). Can he track down the insane killer before he destroys the "utopia" of San Angeles?
One of the most iconic and memorable aspects of the movie making industry has to be the clapperboard. For decades this has been a vital piece of equipment that enables not just sound and image to be synchronised, but to also advise the viewer of the raw footage the exact details of the upcoming shot. The simple monochromatic device has become a symbolic image synonymous with films, and is still used to this day.

Well used on the production of the film, this medium-size clapperboard has the title “Demolition Man” engraved along the centre with the name of director Marco Brambilla and “additional” director of photography Matthew Leonetti engraved beneath. Spaces in the boxes at the top of the clapperboard slate are present to write in marker the scene and take. Some markings remain from its time in use, with the scene marked as "2780" and the take marked as “2”. The date of its last use is marked as 8-6-93 at the bottom of the board. The clapper stick remains in a loose condition, allowing for a sharp snap when closed.

Displaying plenty of wear from its time on use on set, the clapperboard remains in very good production-used condition.
