1. The Tantalus Field from the original Star Trek.
In the episode "Mirror Mirror", the landing party gets swept into a parallel universe where the Federation is basically evil and the organization is run through assassinations and whatnot. In Kirk's cabin is a device that locates a person, and with a touch of a button, vaporizes them. I guess it's good that such a device doesn't exist, because I would sure have been tempted to use it a few times, like on the guy that shot my brother's dog for sport.
2. The 'Homer' pistol from Logan's Run
Basically it fires some kind of explosive pellet that detonates on impact, causing a gaping, flaming hole in the person's torso. No argument over terminal ballistics with that one.
3. The phaser from Star Trek
With settings from 'stun' to 'disintegrate', there's pretty much no target too big. One character from the old series remarked that it was "Devastating! Why...this could kill millions!"
4. The landmaster, from Damnation Alley
The movie was a flop, but what a bug out vehicle! The vehicle was designed to be a working prop, and was pretty impressive with minor problems. Triangular wheeled suspension, articulated center section, missile launchers. Not to mention showers and a kitchen. What's not to like from the ultimate tactical RV?
5. The Batmobile

The Pimpcar/Time Machine from Austin Powers: Goldmember, or the Dalorean from Back To The Future.
The machine that Picard always uses to make tea with...
(Not that I want it for tea).

trek transporter, I hate traffic. Maybe a star wars bike speeder or an at-at to clean up the neighborhood.

Trek transporter and time machine. Would like to go back in time to the founding of our nation and meet the founding fathers.

A light saber (prefeably Darth Vader's from Star Wars)
The Millennium Falcon
An ED 209 from Robocop (for home defense :D)
Probably number 1 for me would be the Iron Man suit.
Close second would be a light saber along with some classes from 'Yoda Tactical' to properly use it!
Number 3 as others have said Batman's newest ride, the Tumbler.

That tech actually exists; just really expensive and dangerous as hell so it never came to market.
The self lacing shoes exist as well; you can actually buy them from Nike; but only 1500 were made, so I bet they are Pricey$$$.

Can't believe I didn't think of that. I NEED one of those. Especially if you could aim it at the internet.
An endless supply of the cake discussed here.

I don't believe it... THE CAKE IS A LIE!!!
The Holodeck.
It would be round the clock 80s porn stars in their prime all the time.
Anyone claim a Death Star and a two cubic meter block of ultra reinforced concrete yet?

Awfully hard to argue against that. It was actually the second thing that occured to me -- right after Trek transporter technology -- but it would seem to be a "somewhat" more achievable piece of tech.

Two things.
Why sleep with women who've been with like a million dudes?
As somebody who has been with a porn actress. Don't. It's ****in' mess. This is a message for all the dudes out there who fantisize about it.

Hot dog; meet hallway.
Tapatalk ate my spelling and grammar.
Portal gun, Millennium Falcon, light saber, sonic screwdriver, the Batman's bike, and the Tardis for good measure. I figure that way, I can teleport places (as well as drop boxes on peoples' heads), make the Kessel (or grocery) run in less than 12 parsecs, cut through anything, fix all the stuff I'm constantly breaking, maneuver the streets with firepower and agility, and hop forward a few thousand years or galaxies if I need anything not covered here :dirol:
I also thought of the falcon, that would be a cool ride.
But thinking about this topic I realized the most important gadget at this time are the shades from 'They Live'. This so the lefties could be revealed and exposed at a distance and their propaganda exposed clearly (not like it isn't already) ..;)

So I'm the only one to consider a pleaure bot ala Daryll Hannah's Pris from Blade Runner?
ya'll are not thinking big enough.

Where would you get the personal for operating the Death Star? Independent contractors, that's where. You would have to have them sign a waiver form due to possible left-wing militants blowing up everything with their lasers.

It was actually the Millenium Falcon and Wedge in an X-Wing :lol:
that was cause its a movie. Death Start wins in real life. :fie:

Because they know "how" to do it. And with a holodeck I could customize to my needs. And I'll just have to take my chances with an 80s vintage Ginger Lynn, Tracey Adams & Keisha threeway.

I think I'd rather have a Fem Bot.

Or perhaps a Katherine Ross Stepford Wife?

They were boring, definitely a fem bot.
I will take a light saber, time machine and a transporter.
I want everything Stark Industries has ever invented...
Oh, and a blue light saber.

All I need is a Blas Tech EE-3 Rifle, a Mitrinomon Z-6 Jet Pack, Knee-Pad Rocket Dart Launchers, Spike Boots, Fibercord Whip with Grappling Device, dual Blas Tech DUR-24 wrist lasers, Kelvarek Consolidated Arms MM9 Mini Concussion Rocket, Czerka ZX Miniature Flame Projector, a set of Mandalorian battle armor, and a modified prototype Firespray-31-class patrol and attack craft.
Then I would be the most feared bounty hunter in the galaxy!

And if I hated you, I'd go back in time using my DeLorean, and replace it with a Fem Bot from Austin Powers.
That would be a ****ed up way to knock somebody off.

I think I'd rather have Annette Haven, Brigitte Monet, Hyapatia Lee, Amber Lynn, or that cute little chick that looked kinda like Meg Ryan.
Just a small trip to the side for a moment to give you something to think about next time you're bored:
Why when a guy excersizes he gets stronger, but when a girl uses her keglars a lot she presumably gets all soft and floppy?
There's ho's out there who can pick up a stack of half dollars one at a time with thier coochie and put them back down in another stack, with the other face up.
This is and other physical feats are not something a hallway trying to hold a hotdog is capable of.
This has been your thought provoking idea for the day.
We now return you to your regularly schedualled topic.
***
Add the ball from Phantasm, the box from Hellraiser and the gizmo the aliens used to change appearance in Critters to my list.
A case of Leia's hand hold sized thermal detonators wouldn't be so bad either as long as one didn't get confused with the aforementioned ball.
The ring.

If we go that far back I want Desiree Cousteau.
