A tour of all Leicester Square Film star Handprint plaques

Back


At the weekend I was at Leicester Square in London and I thought I would make a simple video showing all of the floor mounted film star handprint plaques that surround Leicester Square. I uploaded this video last week but then spotted that I had missed 3 plaques out of the video so decided to remove the original video and remake it, here it is. This video features 50 plaques, 40 of which are filmstars handprints. I took photographs of the following plaques. Going in a anti-clockwise direction starting at the Swiss Corner/Crest of London corner of Leicester Square... MGM, Bruce Willis, Ralph Fiennes, Sir Ian McKellen, 20th Century Fox, Kate Beckinsale, Sylvester Stallone, Billy Crystal, Paramount statue, Charlton Heston Sir John Mills, British Film Year 1985, Omar Sharif, Alan Bates, Dame Anna Neagle, Robert Carlyle, Jude Law, Sadie Frost, Nigel Hawthorne, Joan Collins, Rank, Michael Caine, Ben Kingsley, Sir John Gielgud, Dame Maggie Smith, Jeremy Irons, Arnold Schwarznegger, Sir Sean Connery, Pierce Brosnan, Walt Disney, Stephen Fry, Helena Bonham-Carter, Richard E Grant, Hugh Grant, Colin Firth, Sir Richard Attenborough, Sigourney Weaver, Clint Eastwood, Warner Brothers, Paul Hogan, Universal, Jim Carrey, Meryl Streep, Kim Novak, Michael Winner, Kate Winslet, Tom Cruise, Patrick Swayze, Paramount, 1991 Street Improvements plaque. I had to use the Perspective Correction and crop tools in PaintShopPro 10 to get them all looking the same and also to clone out all of the chewing gum and Cigarette Buts, my god what a mess ! Leicester Square is the centre of London's cinema land and is the prime location in London for major film premieres such as Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull.
