The super macro guessing game

Oh, I don't know

I wasn't confused (more befuddled) but I am now.

Can we have a larger crop please. Maybe no crop at all would help our guesses.

Uh oh confused and befuddled thats a bad combination.

OK, a bigger crop.
It's not a household item. A lot of people have probably only seen these in movies. older movies, or period films. This paricular one has been retired and is on display.

Only seen in the movies?

OK its a giant clock hand that the hero dangles from while fighting the baddie. Shortly before the baddie falls to his death.

Except he's not really dead because he's some kind of monster and he beats up a taxi cab before heading back up to surprise the hero again.

This time the hero actually manages to impale the bad guy on the giant gold clock hand thing, he's dead for sure.

He twitches, reaches out to grab mr hero dude, but then quivers and finally dies.

Unless they make a sequel in which case there will be a contrived reason why he didn't die.

So yeah. It's actually a 50 foot long gold clock hand and you are tricking us to make us think its a macro.

Not part of a clock. It does point to things though. What does it point to?

Going by the photo it points up and a little bit right.

Is it like a barometer or a measuring device of some kind?

The answer.

ouija board pointer?

Its the gold pointy arrow from Wheel of Fortune.

If that's correct I'll take a B please.

The thing on a submarine where the captain moves the handle and yells "ahead full". Its the pointy arrow part on that to remind him what he said. But the one that was on Voyage to the bottom of the Sea in that little mini sub thing that they used for lots of adventures and kept getting destroyed.

The pointer on a deluxe version of twister.

WINNER! It's from a car ferry, not a submarine, but that's what it is.

Citizensmith, you're up.
