Original movie prop: $20 "clam shell" casino chip from the movie, "The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas" -- copy of COA included
DESCRIPTION: Up for auction is one "clam shell" casino chip used at the craps table in the above titled movie. The chip is pictured in the first photo above. At its longest dimensions it is about 4" x 3." A great casino memorabilia/movie prop display piece. I have never seen these pieces on eBay, so I'd consider them "scarce." I'll enclose my copy of the COA that it came with. I have only three of these, and one I'll always have in my personal collection. Good luck bidding. Return privileges.
As further proof that these are the real McCoy, notice the red-on-white "clam shell" chips on the craps table in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th pictures above. The 2nd and 3rd pictures were taken from my lobby card for the movie. The 4th picture was taken as a screen shot from the movie. That is Barney and Fred shooting craps. Fred is holding large dice, and Barney is holding clam shell chips.
From a TV Guide review of the film:
A giant fartosaurus, Joan Collins doing a spit take, Mark Addy and Stephen Baldwin in showgirls' dresses. If you're laughing now, this second live-action spin-off from the popular Flintstones cartoon may well tickle your prehistoric funny bone. And if you've always wondered how two clever, sweet-natured, pretty girls like Wilma and Betty wound up with those boneheads Fred and Barney, it does provide an answer of sorts. Quarry workers Barney (Baldwin) and Fred (Addy) meet Betty O'Shale (Ally McBeal's Jane Krakowski) and Wilma Slaghoople (Kristen Johnston of 3rd Rock From the Sun) at a Bedrock burger joint; Betty is a bubbly waitress and poor little rich girl Wilma has run away from the prospect of a loveless marriage to smarmy, overextended millionaire Chip Rockefeller (Dharma & Greg's Thomas Gibson). Desperate to marry into the Slaghoople fortune, the scheming Chip offers the couples an all-expense-paid trip to his Rock Vegas casino hotel, planning all the while to get Wilma back. Let's say it right out: This brightly colored, lowbrow comedy is so dumb it could get lost on its way to the take-up reel, and it's proud to be dumb. But it's also clueless: Who makes a movie about dating aimed squarely at 10-year-olds? Sure, it's loaded with child-friendly sight gags involving googly-eyed dinosaurs and oversized props, but the goofy wordplay proceeds from a 40-year-old's frame of reference, starting with the title. How many preadolescent Elvis movie fans do you know? The best thing about it is the cast. Baldwin's moronic Barney is an acquired taste, but Krakowski is an adorable, sassy Betty, and Johnston brings an endearing coltishness to the sensible Wilma. And who'd have thought UK actor Addy, of THE FULL MONTY, would have made such a personable Fred, complete with spot-on American accent? --Maitland McDonagh
