Tugg Speedman's (Ben Stiller) Panda Skirt from the 2008 action comedy, Tropic Thunder. In the film, a rag-tag group of actors are dropped into the jungles of the Golden Triangle to shoot a movie guerrilla style. Unfortunately for them, the locals are a heroin-manufacturing gang known as 'Flaming Dragon' and they aren't shooting blanks. This costume comes from the scene in which Tugg brutally kills a panda in self defense, and dresses himself in its' carcass as he speaks on the phone with his agent, Rick Peck (Matthew McConaughey).

Made by the production to imitate the lower half of a panda bear, this skirt attaches around the waist and includes two clawed feet, a tail, and faux panda fur that has been textured with stage blood. The interior of the skirt is made from rubber and has been painted to appear gory with varying shades of red and black. The feet have been wrapped in black fur and stuffed with a soft filling. Both the claws and pads of the feet appear to be made of rubber. Stitched into the waistline is a beige colored stretchy nylon material that wraps around the wearer and locks in place using Velcro, snap buttons, and hooks and snaps.
