Paul W.S. Anderson-signed Johnny Cage (Linden Ashby) shields from Anderson's martial arts adventure Mortal Kombat. Movie star Cage used a shield to defend himself from a fire-breathing fatality by Scorpion (Chris Casamassa), and to slice Scorpion's skull open.

This lot consists of one large and one small spiked metal shield. Art Director Nick Strong brought in Tom Bellissimo's team for insert and pick-up shots overseen by Anderson at Universal. The small shield was built for a VFX shot of flames shooting at a shield, undersized so the (practical) flames would appear larger and left undetailed as the surface wouldn't be seen. The larger shield was built specifically for practical effects shots of the shield hitting Scorpion. It's signed "To FX 'Flawless Shield!' Paul" and affixed with metal rivets and a hand grip with a wrist detail on the reverse. Both shields exhibit some signs of wear from production use and age, including discoloration and scratches on the metal, but remain in good overall condition. Dimensions: 30" x 30" x 6" (76.25 cm x 76.25 cm x 15.25 cm). This lot comes from the collection of renowned special effects artist Tom "Brooklyn" Bellissimo. A letter of authenticity from Bellissimo is included.
