Original Item: Only One Available. This is an original full-scale rubber Benelli M1 “Super 90” shotgun film prop associated with the 1998 action comedy Rush Hour, starring Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker. The prop originated from the renowned Ellis Props collection and retains its original auction identification tag, describing it as “RUBBER M1 SHOTGUN USED RUSH HOUR.” Constructed entirely as a non-firing rubber replica, the shotgun includes an integral rubber tactical flashlight and molded manufacturer markings reproducing those found on the original firearm. The receiver is marked HECKLER & KOCH INC. STERLING VA., while the bolt bears BENELLI ARMI SYSTEM. The flashlight also retains a molded Laser Products Corp. marking, associated with the company that later became SureFire. The prop measures approximately 40 ⅞ inches long and exhibits several condition issues, including a partially detached trigger guard and a broken bolt handle. Its surviving Ellis Props auction tag provides an important connection to the film production and subsequent dispersal of the company's prop inventory.
Released on September 18, 1998, Rush Hour was an American buddy cop action comedy directed by Brett Ratner, with a screenplay by Jim Kouf and Ross LaManna, based on a story by LaManna. The film starred Jackie Chan as Hong Kong Police Force Chief Inspector Lee and Chris Tucker as Los Angeles Police Department Detective James Carter, alongside Tom Wilkinson, Chris Penn, and Elizabeth Peña. Its story follows the unlikely partnership between the two detectives as they investigate the kidnapping of the daughter of a Chinese diplomat in Los Angeles.
This is a full scale rubber replica non-firing prop gun as used in the 1998 Hollywood film “Rush Hour”. The United States Police Force guards, soldiers and even the gang members carried the Super 90s with flashlights mounted on them. The flashlight is also a full rubber prop and is not able to be removed. The side of the received is marked HECKLER & KOCH INC. STERLING VA. and the side of the bolt is marked BENELLI ARMI SYSTEM. There is some damage as shown, with the trigger guard coming undone and the bolt handle broken. The flashlight is marked with Laser Products Corp, now known today as Surefire.
The buttstock has an old Ellis Props Auction tag reading:
ELLIS PROPS AUCTION - DAY 5
LOT 5833
QTY 12
RUBBER M1 SHOTGUN USED RUSH HOUR
The shotgun measures approximately 40 ⅞ inches in overall length, closely reproducing the substantial dimensions of the original Benelli M1 Super 90 configuration. The full-size construction, molded receiver and bolt markings, and integral tactical flashlight provide a recognizable representation of the weapon as depicted in Rush Hour. Although the trigger guard and bolt handle have sustained damage, the principal external features remain identifiable.
This rubber Benelli M1 Super 90 film prop from Rush Hour (1998) is an interesting surviving example of the non-firing firearms replicas employed in late twentieth-century action filmmaking. Its molded HECKLER & KOCH INC. STERLING VA. and BENELLI ARMI SYSTEM markings, integral Laser Products Corp. flashlight, and full-scale construction reproduce the appearance of the tactical shotgun used in the film. The original Ellis Props auction tag, identifying Day 5, Lot 5833, Quantity 12, provides the strongest evidence of its production association. Although the precise scenes in which this individual prop appeared cannot be established, its documented auction identification and surviving construction make it a noteworthy example for collections focused on Rush Hour, Hollywood prop weapons, and the history of practical film production equipment.
