Saying Goodbye: The Rocketeer Costume That Inspired a Collector’s Journey

Описание: This is the most personal episode of Cinema Relics Investigates yet.

After more than 16 years of chasing and assembling pieces from across the world, prop collector Dan Lanigan gives fans one final, emotional look at his screen-used Rocketeer costume, complete with its actual fire-emitting jet pack.

As Dan examines the suit, he uncovers surprising new discoveries and attempts to solve lingering mysteries surrounding this iconic artifact. But this time, the stakes are higher—because the costume is headed to an upcoming auction, marking the end of Dan’s journey with the piece that first inspired him to start prop collecting.

The Rocketeer isn’t just another movie hero—it was a major influence on Joe Johnston’s vision for Marvel’s Captain America, connecting this Disney cult classic directly to the superhero era we live in today.

From the costume’s Hollywood backstory to Dan’s personal reflections on letting it go, this is your one-of-a-kind chance to see the most complete Rocketeer costume ever assembled before it disappears into a private collection.

👉 Don’t miss Dan’s heartfelt farewell to one of the most important props of his life, and the rare opportunity to witness the legacy of The Rocketeer live on.
