Our expert's notes

A complete policeman’s costume from Luc Besson’s sci-fi film The Fifth Element. This costume was worn by one of the police officers in New York City, and the chest armour screen matches to the set worn by the officer who covered himself in cola during the car chase with Korben Dallas (Bruce Willis).
The costume’s under layers are composed of padded, cotton ribbed body armour with a ribbed balaclava worn over the head and a padded PVC collar. A fibreglass helmet with plastic visors and armour plates on the shoulders is worn over the under layers. A plastic codpiece is attached via strapping and hoses to the vest. Also included is a rubber riot shield, pair of gloves and metal ribbed boots to complete the outfit.

The left shoulder contains magnets for affixing the officer’s weapon, which is made of plastic with a foam core. Lights are fitted behind the white panel on the chest and on the left shoulder, which were originally powered by battery packs in the vest (the electronics have since been rewired to run on UK mains electricity).

Well-used during production and intentionally distressed, the costume remains in very good condition and while the helmet is marked "Laura R," "Steve," and "15" internally and the costume is labelled "Costume 3" in ink, no sizes are marked. Comes with display mannequin. Dimensions: 50 cm x 78 cm x 197 cm (20“ x 31“ x 78“)
