A flying cab model miniature from Luc Besson's sci-fi adventure The Fifth Element. Model miniatures were used as background elements during the cab chase sequence in which Dallas raced through New York City's airborne traffic to protect the fugitive Leeloo (Milla Jovovich) from the police.

This resin and plastic background taxi is painted to look distressed and affixed with a metal display rod to a wooden piece of the background scenery seen in a subway tunnel during the cab chase. After filming, bullet hole detailing was added by one of the film's model makers to make this piece more closely resemble Dallas's cab in the film. The miniature is in good overall condition with some signs of wear, including discoloration to the paint and some cracking to the resin.

Dimensions: 7 1/2" x 7 1/2" x 17 1/2" (19 cm x 19 cm x 44.5 cm)

Estimate: $4,000 - 6,000
