ANH Stunt Helmet Frown with five holes

[TK-Sharp[TK]]

Hi there,

 

in the CRL of the ANH Stunt you read the following regarding the frown:

 

"Eight total teeth on the frown are cut out."

 

Well and all the helmets I saw obey to this rule but when I looked at the photo reference (picture ANHSTUNTfrown2) I saw a helmet shown in the right upper corner with five holes (both sides). Is this really applicable and also accurate in order to get accepted? Great confusion ...

In your research you will also see a stunt helmet from time to time show up with three teeth on both sides. (This is more associated with the "hero" helmets) These fall into a category known as anomalies. These were oversights during a very rushed movie shoot where consistency

took a back seat to getting the film done. Until a category for specific costume replication is created, stick with the 4 teeth frown or nothing is stopping you from getting another helmet and having a second option to wear for troops.

Hi gazmosis, thanks for your explanation. This makes it clearer on how to rate these pics. You're right: These frowns with three  of five teeth on both sides can be seen as "anomalies".  As you recommend I'm going to stick with the official 4 theeth frown

My eFX is supposed to be a hero so it has 3 holes (arguably, once I get smoke bubble lenses). And I have an ATA stunt with 4 holes. I like the option of wearing both but I'll probably follow gaz and put one on display and put fans etc in the other
