This is an original screen-used Police Costume Codpiece with Hose and Housing Assembly from the production of Luc Besson's iconic 1997 science-fiction action film, The Fifth Element.
 
This distinctive costume component formed part of the futuristic police uniform worn by members of the film's police force and features a moulded codpiece connected via flexible ribbed hoses to a futuristic housing assembly. The interior of the codpiece is hand-marked with the letter "S", a production identifier applied during filming.
 
The codpiece is constructed from vac-formed plastic, while the housing is fabricated from rubber and a variety of mixed materials, including resin and production-made mechanical detailing. The intricate craftsmanship and layered construction exemplify the exceptional production design that helped establish the film's bold and instantly recognisable futuristic aesthetic.
 
The codpiece measures approximately 10.5 x 5 inches (27 x 13 cm), with the complete assembly measuring approximately 20 inches (51 cm) in length.
 
The piece remains in good screen-used production condition, displaying expected signs of wear from use during filming, along with age-related handling and minor production distressing consistent with an original costume component.
 
Set in the 23rd century, The Fifth Element follows former special forces major turned taxi driver Korben Dallas (Bruce Willis), who becomes humanity's unlikely hero after encountering Leeloo, a mysterious being whose existence is key to defeating an ancient cosmic evil. Celebrated for its visionary production design, imaginative costumes by Jean Paul Gaultier, and groundbreaking visual effects, the film has become one of the most influential and beloved science-fiction classics of the modern era.
 
This original Police Costume Codpiece with Hose and Housing Assembly represents a rare opportunity to acquire an authentic screen-used costume component from one of the most visually distinctive and enduring science-fiction films of the 1990s.
