John Carter, Helium airship crew armour

original movie costume

A helium airship crew armour. This piece of wardrobe is only seen in the background of one shot in the movie, at the landing of the royal Helium airship. These probably are the counterpart of the Zodangan airship crew armour of the cannoneers. I think scenes with these pieces of Helium wardrobe were left on the cutting room floor, as several have been made so they should have had a more prominent role at some point (probably during the rescue of John Carter from the Warhoons or in a battle scene with Zodanga). While all I have seen have foam belts, this one is full leather and has an extra decoration on the codpiece.
