E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial Miniature Special Effects BMX Dirt Bike Wheels
From the most iconic image in film history, the flying of the boys on their BMX Dirt Bikes across the moon over the forest at the end of the ultimate classic “E.T.” (1982). The effect was done at ILM with miniatures of both the boys and their bikes, utilizing “stop motion” photography, among other techniques. These are two of the BMX miniature bike wheels used on one of the bikes from this sequence. They were given to Kim Knowlton, one of the top ILM Special Effects Artists by the legendary Miniature Special Effects “E.T.” Supervisor Ease Owyeung. A true rare E.T. piece of history. Comes with a Letter of Provenience fro Kim Knowlton. Wheels are approx. 1" in diameter.
