My Bloody Valentine, My Bloody Valentine Miners HERO axe

original movie prop weapon

This is the "miner's" "hero" pick axe from "My Bloody Valentine 3D".  This is the film that set off the explosion of all the 3D movies as of late.  It all started with this one!  This is the miner's weapon of choice, and was used to kill many of his victims throughout the film.  

The pick axe features a wooden distressed handle, and a fiberglass head which was broken on set due to the intense action sequences.  The exact scene it was broken was during the sequence where Betsy Rue's character hides behind the bed frame and the miner whips the pick axe into the frame.  Watch the youtube video below and you can see this happen in real time.  Watch at the :31 mark and its actually quite funny.  He whips it into the frame, the head pops off, and then he just looks at it in disbelief lol.  Notice the breakage, notice the exact pattern of the break when the miner looks at the pick axe and you will note that this is that EXACT pick axe.
