Adam Savage’s Tested: Sauron’s Helmet from Lord of the Rings Has a Magical Paint Finish

Avatar photoByAdil

Adam Savage goes hands-on with three iconic film helmets: the intricately painted Sauron helm from The Lord of the Rings (crafted by Weta Workshop), a dapper hero top hat from Gangs of New York, and a rugged armored helmet built by Terry English for Aliens 3. Each piece offers a deep dive into the design and craftsmanship that make these props so legendary.

Plus, don’t miss the Propstore EMLA: Los Angeles Summer 2025 auction, where you could snag these kinds of cinematic treasures for yourself!
