Peter Jackson and Adam Savage Open John Chambers' CIA Make-Up Kit! 

There could be a several year long Netflix series just about the items in Jacksons collection

ahh i want like a 40 minute video of peter's cave!

Are we just going to ignore all the creatures and dinosaurs?! MAN this is cool!

"We're keeping them not being touched" as Adam pokes at them with his finger.

I love that after watching years of Mythbusters I can still enjoy seeing Adam in another "role" Thanks Adam Savage for being you 😊

Peter: "We keep them from being touched" Adam: *poke* "yeah it feels like it was made yesterday" xD

I would use those sideburns to make wizard eyebrows.

Adam looks more and more like goldmember with each passing day!

It's the little things that make these videos great. Like the way Adam is crouched on his knees but still sitting up with excitement. Many have said it before, but I still find his child-like exuberance to be incredibly infectious. Thanks for sharing this with us, Tested!

reminds me of the mythbusters episode where adam dressed up as jamie and jamie as adam

Would be great if you could upload the entire footage. I feel like I could watch this all day long!

"Peter Jackson and Adam Savage..." in title. gave it a like before watching

These are my favorite Tested videos ever! Pease keep them coming! So cool!!!!

They should have ended the video by pulling off masks and revealing that they were playing each other...

Really cool of Peter to allow Tested in. I'm loving any snippet of content I can get from his very cool looking collection!

please keep doing these they are so amazing to see!!

awesome. Love Peter and would love to see more of his collection

An excellent book that makes extensive commentary on the use of these kits is The Master of Disguise: My Secret Life in the CIA. He mentions working with a hollywood make-up artist but never mentions the name. Now I know. It's a fascinating story and I always wondered what those kits looked like. Now I know that too!

Fantastic!! :) More of Peter Jackson please!

i really hope that room has some serious fire protection, would be such a shame to loose all the amazing film history

Amazing! Thanks Tested, Adam and Peter

Man these videos are absolute gold!

Peter has some awesome stuff

I'm loving these! For some reason, I get nervous that Adam will break something.

Even Peter is discovering things he forgot he had

Antonio Mendez talks quite a bit about this in his book "The Master of Disguise". A great book.

Please keep these coming. that man's collection is absolutely fantastic and U2 together I would watch a TV show hosted by you both

Great stuff again Tested! Don't forget those Jurassic Park Dinosaurs :D

i enjoy these visits to Peter Jackson's place, hopefully Adam can just continue to make these videos as Peter collects more things in the future.

Oh my gosh...how cool is that! :) Wow...love it! Thanks for sharing

awesome. thnx tested!

This has been a fascinating series so far....very fun =)

love this series please visit other places like this

Ive been wondering what Adam has been up to, then i found this channel. Love it!

You should have made a whole series of this visit. I'd love to see you guys talk about every item in that place.

i could spend an eternity looking through and admiring that collection...

amazing! thank you for sharing

Maaan you can spend years checking his collection and you wouldnt even finish with all the stories and details.Wow thats amazing.

I hope someone comes forward because this is amazing

Wow! That is amazing!! Thank you for sharing. Cheers, G :D London

Nice keep up the great Amazing work!

These videos are awesome

Mooore of this

Oh they should have recorded these guys over several days and boy could we all have fun!

the idea of Peter Jackson and Adam being friends makes me happy

This is so fascinating

I’m late to the party but for anyone interested, these weren’t created so a CIA Case Officer would be walking around with it to use somewhere. But elements of the contents could be pocketed for that purpose. The purpose of the kit and why Chambers put them together for CIA is so a Case Officer could meet “Walk-Ins,” people that walked into American Embassies claiming to have information, etc. So the Case Officer could change his/her appearance dramatically with this as the person waited in the lobby or a private room, etc. That way they would not be readily identifiable as an Intelligence Officer later on. Hostile Intelligence Agencies can just send people in that claim to have vital information when in fact they’re gathering information themselves.

10 years old Adam and 12 years old Peter, playing with their toys :)

The Apes makeup was an added bonus! Amazing how well preserved those pieces were.

Here's the agent who helped develop these kits, and applied them, and trained others to use the latex masks, etc. He explains in a great deal of detail some operations that utilized it. He's the guy to talk to. The Master of Disguise: My Secret Life in the CIA Book by Tony Mendez

Quite Touching

This is so kewl!

I loved when Adam mentions the block of wood "might be for hair applictions" (as in a surface to pin hairs upon). And Peter goes "oh yeah! maybe? For, like putting the hair on..." And then rubs the block of wood on his sideburns XD XD XD

When can we get a vid on that awesome velociraptor that's always in the background??

I remember seeing a episode of Hollywood Treasures where they were auctioning some of John Chambers' makeup appliances and kits including a brief case like the one Peter has but incomplete. someone from the CIA bought it from the auction so there might be more out there.

So cool!

Wow, what an interesting collection, the crossover into spy craft is an unexpected bonus.

Maybe Adam could use this next time he goes to Comic Con.

More. Please.

This is Fascinating :-D

it is like Peter has been collecting all this stuff just for this moment. they need to make this into a Trilogy of three hour movies.

Peter Jackson, such a fan! What an interesting insight into the CIA.

one of the best shows ever

More P. Jackson videos PLEASE!!

Amazing artefacts

Very cool! What a privilege! Is that a warehouse or Peter's basement? What an amazing collection.

the blocks are for pinning lace to and knotting facial hair appliances.

I love that "battery powered mirror"

- "Well you are keeping them out of the sun" - "Yeah, and we are keeping them not being touched." *They both proceed to touch the shit out of them* I love how even are their level they just can't help but geek out at this stuff like we would!

These were used well into the '80's and not just by the CIA. Grenada, Nicaragua and other more subtle hardly noticeable regime changes in South America and around the world were effected with these identity changing kits. Yes, prosthetics were included.

MAN this is cool!

This is brilliant. Bless Peter Jackson.

I watched a documentary where one historian told us they had pocket faces. They were either rubber masks that were tight fitting but it would always change your appearance quickly and drastically. It would turn you blonde to brown or have a beard when you didn’t really. They wouldn’t hold up under any kind of scrutiny but if they were being chased the run in to a crowded place pull the mask on and walk or sit down quickly to throw them off. One guy told a story of being chased down the street he pulled his mask on which made him bald and have a beard. He put on glasses and casually walked the towards his pursuers and they ran right by him. I don’t know how true that is but the historian did show one of the pocket masks.

This just jolted my memory of seeing a friends dad who made characters for tv and movies here in Australia. The croc from 'crocodile dundee', the "eat the Wagon Wheel" snail and a terrior for a phone company, all sitting around his studio. I wish I had a better idea of what I saw and the craft that went into it. I feel like a complete idiot right now!

Planets of the apes, lovely. Like so many i like to see more props. Never tought i would see this kind of collection.

Just WOW!!!

Great video! There should have been one of these CIA kits in the Spy Museum in DC.They had the bug which looked like dog poop!

make some more one day builds!! 👍🏼

the hal 9000 lens looks like it had a flat groove that slipped into the plate to connect the two props. lemme know if i was right. thanks. really cool collection btw!!

Interesting and cool stuff :)

Utterly fascinating. Like being at a high fashion runway show, one hardly knows where to look next. The various questions of the "full head appliances" are, if they are real, were in service and used-- what on earth for? Unlike the Mission: Impossible gang and certainly the new movies-- it would be pretty obvious that something was amiss if you were to see such a full-head mask in person. So was this for photographic purposes? Appearance in crowds, a middle-distance view-- either a picture or perhaps in a real world setting? The quick look of the b&w pics seem to show a latex, full-head mask. Was this around the time of Bau foam? Lightweight foamed latex? Or was it straight latex? I thought Bau did his work in the 50s (or was it 60s?). Hard to tell from the pics. So-- the next big question is which came first? M:I, POTA or super-secret CIA full-head appliances? The TV Mission: Impossible was in 1966, POTA was released in 68, but had to be in production well before then-- 66 maybe. That's plenty deep in the Cold War-- Lastly-- as Adam asks, was it ever used in any detectable way? 'Detectable' by archival photography? Have we been looking at old, grainy photos and seeing what THEY wanted us to see? Hmmm.

Enough! I wish to see the Daleks!

Peter Jackson should honestly try and make the best movie museum they should just get the top holly wood collectors to just open a warehouse and have tours for like 3 months.

I would love to see this but with everything in there

i want more

The ultimate makeup kit collectible, is, of course, Lon Chaney's.

imagine exact this situation whenever the CIA agent tries to contact HQ. *** Sigint: Ah, you're wearing the mask. I made it myself. Pretty good work, don't you think? A while back they were planning to disguise someone as this one GRU officer and send them in to steal some secret documents. I created the mask for that operation. But then the mission ended up being canceled...and then the major came and told me to throw it out? Can you believe that guy? Snake: But you didn't throw it out. Sigint: Are you kidding? Tossing a superior quality product like that into the garbage without using that would be an insult to science. Snake: What's so great about it? Sigint: Everything. But if I had to pick one reason, I'd have to say it's because it's the first mask ever that can blink its eyes. Snake: What about the lips? Sigint: What's that? Snake: Can it open its mouth? Sigint: Ha ha ha. That's a good one, Snake. You're crazy, man. Snake: I'm serious... Sigint: Are you even listening to me, Snake? Where's your common sense!? Damn! Snake: S... sorry...?

The phone number on that sticker still works... after a couple of rings, directs over to a recorded message asking if anyone in your house is over the age of 50; 1 for yes, 2 for no.

Peter is one of those people that if i was dying and could meet one person in the world, it'd be him.

Is there actually a museum for this stuff? I mean, a place where young filmmakers and artists can be inspired by the craftsmanship of the old movie artist masters.

I love how peter isn't that "put it in plastic foil and never touch it again" kind of guy.

I hope they will show his Lord of the Rings and Hobbit artifacts too!

Can we not just have a full series on Peter Jackson's entire collection please? :)

I really would love to meet Peter Jackson, and Adam obviously :)

It's great to see, but there is a massive raptor in the background waiting to be shown off😔

American werewolf in London in background, so much cool stuff here!

I’m pretty sure I spotted Ray Harryhausen’s stop-motion skeletons from Clash of Titans. I wonder how they were kept in position frame by frame without falling down..?

1:05 Oh my god that's a Vermithrax Pejorative head. *Nerdgasms*

ayyyyy New Zealand! my home country

can we please address the velociraptor in the room?
