JUDGE DREDD (1995) - Lawmaster Motorbike
A Lawmaster motorbike from Danny Cannon's sci-fi action film Judge Dredd. Judge Dredd (Sylvester Stallone), Judge Hershey (Diane Lane) and the Judges of Mega-City One rode their Lawmaster bikes as they dispensed their unique form of justice.

The design of the Lawmaster was a core concern for production designer Nigel Phelps and his team. Images of Dredd on his Lawmaster had sold the film to the producers, and the bike underwent multiple design iterations. Early versions created by vehicle designer David Allday had massive wheels at the front and rear, but upon completion it was found the bikes could no longer steer. A final revised design retained the rear wheel with a smaller wheel at the front, allowing the vehicles to take corners, albeit with a large turning circle.

Powerful 650cc versions were built for use by the stunt teams, with a handful of less powerful scooter-based versions intended for use by principal cast members. This Lawmaster bike is one of the latter, built around a scooter frame with simplified single-gear operation. The body of the vehicle, complete with Judge eagle emblem on the front, is made of fibreglass, with various plastic and metal dressing components and light-up panels on the body and handles. The bike is finished in the uniform blue of the Judges, with metallic faux-gold paint on the eagle emblem.

The Lawmaster is equipped with functioning lights, fitted at the front and rear, with police lights - which are able to cycle in a number of lighting modes - forward of the handlebars. A standard kickstand allows the bike to rest when not in use. Sympathetic restoration has been undertaken to the electronics on the vehicle, accessed via ports on the left-hand side and underneath the foam seat.

Displaying some scratches and signs of natural wear from use, the vehicle's kickstand has bent and become weak from years of use. However, the bike remains in very good production-used condition. Dimensions: 265 cm x 105 cm x 125 cm (104 1/2'' x 41 1/2'' x 49 1/2'')
