Hello, 

I search a possibility to buy the silver nunchaku that Jonathan
Brandis used in the filme "Sidekicks". It does not have to be the
original one, just one that looks and is exactly like it.

Many thanks and good search.

PS.: These pictures show them.

Hello, 

Thank you for that large answer. I checked up every link but I could
not find the nunchakus that I still search. I do not search for a
similar nunchaku. I would like exactly the same Nunchaku.

Regards, 

Notii

The  Aluminum 10" nunchaku connected with chain look the same as the
ones in Sidekicks.

I reviewed the Sidekicks trailer (from 1:00 to 1:06)

and the nunchakus at the MArtial Arts Store look exactly the same to me.

Hello, 

Don't you see? The style of silver, the edges, the connection the
whole Nunchaku... These are absolutely not the same...

Sincerely, 

Notii

Clarification of Answer by bobbie7-ga on 19 Sep 2006 06:51 PDT

Do you have any other images of these Nunchakus?

Request for Answer Clarification by notii-ga on 19 Sep 2006 14:47 PDT

Hi again, 

No, I don't have some other pictures. On the first pic you can see the
connection (rope) and on the second the endings.

I know, it is a very hard and difficult question. That's the reason I
ask professional searchers.

Regards, 

Notii

According to Jonathanbrandis.org, the Nunchakus he used were made of
foam covered with shiny vinyl.

"Jon did most of what you see him do in the film, but didn't stick
with it. (a little too fragile). He brought the nun-chuks to school
and showed us how to do them. The ones that he used were made of foam
covered with shiny vinyl, and weren't dangerous."

Dear Notii,

I sent  an email to  a crew member of the movie Sidekicks.
Unfortunately they have not responded to my question about the
nunchakus used in the movie.

The best lead so far seems to be that the Nunchakus Brandis used in
the film  were made of foam covered with shiny vinyl.

I did find Silver Electroplated Carbon Steel Nunchakus here:

If I do receive a reply to the email I sent I will let you know.

Thanks again for your continued patience.

Copy from E-Mail:

Hello Google Answers Team, 

Thank you for your fast answer. I appreciate it very much. The idea of
your service is brilliant. I was very happy that I could find professional
help. But now I have to pay 50 $ for no answer, because the answer I
received is for me absolutely useless. So I made a request for answer
clarification, as you suggested.
In bobbie7's Clarification of Answer was a link to an Nunchaku that look
for him exactly the same as the one I showed in two pictures. I made an
attachement that you can compare them for yourself. 

As you see these nunchakus are obvious different. The largest difference
is the connection. The one I search is connected with a rope. His
suggestion is connected with a chain. In my opinion these are
absolutely different. For the technique of the Nunchaku
this is also a huge difference. For my eyes also the shape and the style is
different.

I would pay 100 $ if I could find exactly the same nunchaku like on the
picture, but I don't want to pay a single $ for an answer that is
absolutely usless to me. I really don't need a professional searcher for
an answer that I can find on google pictures on page one if I type in
"metal nunchaku". 

Thank you again for your help. Sincerely,    

-------------Copy finished-----------------------------

I would like to repost the question. But I want to change the whole
text, so that really everybody understands that I don't want a similar
Nunchaku. I will also rise the price. That's why I make a Request for
a Refund.

Thanks for your help. 

Sincerely, 

Notii
