I was wondering if there was anything like the Internet Movie Firearms Data Base, but for knives. It turns out there's two, but with very little content.https://imkdb.fandom.com/wiki/IMKDB_Wikihttps://immwdb.fandom.com/wiki/Internet_Movie_Melee_Weapons_Data_Base_Wiki I was thinking if there's any knife or sword autists left here, they could lend their weaponised weapons autism to these sites?
>>64719159Every page with small knife should have “that’s not a knife, that’s a knife!”
>>64719159There's one for cars too, but it's as lacking as the knife one.
>>64719159Making custom knives is so cheap and simple, many movie knives will be custom. Good luck categorizing those.
>>64719873There's also one for planes. Even has the rego numbers so you can see which planes keep getting re-used.
I think there was a Hollywood props page that tended to go into detail about the craftmanship put into a lot of design. A lot are usually just off the shelf and not documented.
Rotaryaction used to specialise in helicopters.Internet Movie Light Bulb Database is a running joke at the IMCDB.Which is a pity, I'd really like to know if the green lampshade from Evil Dead 2 was made for the movie.
>>64719873My favorite is the one for computers.https://www.starringthecomputer.com/
There actually is a great article in IMFDB Dark Knight discussion page ID'ing all of The Joker's knives.https://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Talk:The_Dark_Knight#The_Joker.27s_Knives

>>64719159I'd love to see it but unfortunately it's even more niche than gun autism.
>>64725141I would raipu herDidn't know about the knife DBBut even IMFDB is kinda slow.
>>64719159Knife autist here. Alot of movie knives are custom and then become mass produced in various forms because of the popularity of the movie, see Rambo 3. Problem with identifying the knife in movies is that they rarely show a closeup and it could be one of 50 similarly shaped knives. Even the Buck 110, one of the most popular knives looks alot like those Made in Pakistan knives so you can't really tell if it's a Buck. The most identifiable knife from afar would be the Tom brown tracker, but that was only used in one movie where Tom brown consulted in.
>>64719971That makes sense in cartoons because all you need to do is draw whatever you think looks cool, but custom knives are a rather extreme alternative to simply buying a commonplace, real knife.
>>64719159>Internet Movie Firearms Data Base,huh, after all these years, I learn what imdb stands for
What was Kano's knife in the old Mortal Kombat? It was a Gil Hibben, either the Raptor or the Raven...And the knife the bad guy had in Under Siege 2. I think Seagal had a rubber casting of a Mad Dog knife, but the main bad guy, or at least his dragon, had something else.Was it Jet Li's Bodyguard from Beijing where the bad guy used a cruciform PRC SKS spike bayonet?Leon Kennedy's starting knife in the Resident Evil 4 remake is some kind of bayonet.The knives from the bathhouse fight in Eastern Promises were lino knives.David Cronenberg as Decker had a big knife collection in NightBreed. I know he had a favourite one that was a plastic prop, but I'd love to see some kind of attempt at a mass ID, like they did with Heath Ledger's Joker.
>>64719159most knives and swords used in movies are either cheap off-brands or custom buildsand unless you can zoom in on makers mark they would be borderline impossible to identify
All 5 Rambo films had official knives.Arnie's Commando had an official knife.Crocodile Dundee had an official knife.So did Indiana Jones.The Tom Brown Tracker was in The Hunted, but it was designed by the guy the story was based on. Who DESU probably stole the design from another guy lol.I wish there was an official Evil Dead knife, it'd probably look better than the original prop that was made from clay and chicken bones lol.There are those Klingon knives with the spring-loaded arms, I don't know if they're marketed as official merch.There are replicas of Krauser's fancy knife from Resident Evil 4. Is there a replica of the big anti-MILF knife that Ethan finds in the tower?I think the dagger from Phantasm was an SS dagger. Not Jody's Buck knife, the one the Lady in Lavender uses to kill Tommy.There was a sacrificial knife in the Alien Nation TV series, it was big stupid fork supposed to pierce both hearts at once on a Tenctonese. Wasn't very fancy as I recall.
