The movie Constantine came out in 2005, The movie is based on an excellent comic book series called Hellblazer. It is about a rogue exorcist named John Constantine played by the ever EMO Keanu Reeves, who has the ability interact with half-breeds. Half-breeds are angels and demons that walk the mortal plain and are allowed to influence mankind. In the same year, Japan released 300 limited Constantine Zippo, but soon it was sold out. Therefore in the following years, Zippo in Japan released some more(unknown amount) of it. But YOU CAN BARELY FIND IT IN THE MARKET for some reason. Brass Zippo is authentic production made in Bradford, PA with hand etching/carving created by artisans in Japan. So DON'T LET THIS CHANCE SLIP AWAY! IT'S COLLECTOR'S MUST HAVE!
