Props

Chocolate syrup was used as the blood in the shower scene from Psycho - because the film is in black and white, the colour difference wasn’t a problem!

In the book, the famous Ruby slippers from The Wizard of Oz are in fact silver.

One pair of the slippers (of which there are thought to be four) from the film raised $666,000 at auction in 2000.

James Cameron drew the charcoal picture of a nude Kate Winslet featured in Titanic.

In Rocky, the lead character points out a mistake on a poster at the match venue. This line wasn’t scripted; Sly had to do this as the art department had made a genuine mistake!

The design of the carpet in Sid’s hallway in Toy Story is almost identical to one of the hotel corridor carpets in The Shining.

The mask used by Michael Myers in Halloween was a Captain Kirk mask painted white.

The faeces used in the iconic toilet scene in Trainspotting was actually made out of chocolate, and apparently smelt delicious.

A real horse’s head (purchased from a local dog-food factory) was used for the iconic scene in The Godfather. John Marley wasn’t told that the plastic prop that they had been using had been replaced, and therefore his reaction is real!

In Highlander, the swords were made to spark by wires which ran down the actors’ sleeves and were connected to car batteries. Dangerous, anyone...?
