except that the auction title called it a Judge Dress Hunter gun, so it won't be getting as many hits.

?2 each or a fiver for the lot.

I hadn't realised Versace did the costume.  I thought it was okay, it wasn't litle things like bikes and costumes that bothered me.

Although the film's credits say 'Judge Dredd Armour Costume Designed By GiannI Versace' I think VG's involvement was exaggerated for publicity purposes. None of the Versace designs I've seen bear any resemblance to the final Dredd costume and the account of the costume development in The Making of Judge Dredd doesn't even mention him. In fact, if that book is anything to go by, Sly himself had more to do with Dredd's costume than Gianni.

One thing's for sure, Rebellion won't be using Versace on their Dredd films.

Jean Paul Gaultier's great. His Fifth Element costumes were cool, one of my favourite bits about the film, specially  LeeLoo's. er...

LOL. Also a much better Mega-City One than the Dredd film, strangely enough!
