"The Quest" Christopher Dubois (Jean-Claude Van Damme) and Stunt Performer Alex Kuzelicki Costume Components

Description

From the martial arts adventure film The Quest comes this production-used costume grouping consisting of a shirt worn by Christopher Dubois, portrayed by Jean-Claude Van Damme, and matching trousers worn by stunt performer Alex Kuzelicki during the film's production.

The lot includes a white cotton sleeveless, collarless shirt with a button-front closure attributed to Jean-Claude Van Damme's portrayal of Christopher Dubois. Accompanying the shirt is a pair of brown cotton trousers worn by stunt performer Alex Kuzelicki. The pants feature a button closure at the waist, zipper fly, and an adjustable exterior strap at the reverse waist for fit adjustment. Production markings remain present, including multiple buttons sewn throughout the interior waistband and the handwritten name “ALEX” in black ink, identifying the stunt performer's costume component.

Released in 1996, The Quest follows street performer Christopher Dubois as he becomes involved in an international martial arts competition known as the Ghang-gheng. Costumes and wardrobe pieces from the film are prized by collectors of action cinema and Jean-Claude Van Damme memorabilia, particularly those that illustrate the collaboration between principal actors and stunt performers in bringing the film's action sequences to life.

Condition

Condition is consistent with production use and age. The shirt exhibits heavy staining and yellowing throughout. The trousers display slight soiling at the front groin area, a black mark on the front proper left side near the pocket, and fading along the sides of both pant legs as well as on the reverse proper left leg. Due to the nature of the garment and production use, it is undetermined whether the trousers have experienced overall color fading.
