Crying Man's (Arsenio Hall) SFX Thompson submachine gun from Eddie Murphy's gangster comedy Harlem Nights. Crying Man mistakenly attacked his rival, Vernest "Quick" Brown (Murphy), with a machine gun for his brother's murder. Created for the sequence, this SFX machine gun features a black metal body with a vintage-style brown wooden stock and grips. An air pressure hose affixed to the back of the stock connects to colorful plastic cables that, when activated, simulate kickback. The gun shows wear from age and production, including some paint chipping on the gun barrel, but remains in good overall condition. Dimensions: 34" x 8" x 7" (86.25 cm x 20.25 cm x 17.75 cm)

Contains mechanical components; see notice in the Buyer's Guide.

Ownership may be restricted in some countries; see replica firearm notice in Buyer's Guide. This lot comes from the collection of renowned special effects artist Tom "Brooklyn" Bellissimo. A letter of authenticity from Bellissimo is included.
