Line 7:
The prop may be altered by repainting it or adding or removing widgets but it remains recognizable, especially if the original production was well known. While this may be a cost saving measure, there's something about the practice that just screams "low budget".
Most firearms use in modern movies are handled by external armorers who keep guns for use in future productions. For most productions this will go unnoticed, a stock M4 won't be distinquishable from any other stock M4, these companies also keep several specially modified guns ranging from niche filling guns like [[Bling Bling Bang]] or stand-ins for hard to obtain guns to very specific firearms. This is the cause of several entries on [[Rare Guns]].
Can overlap with [[Whole Costume Reference]] if the costume is recycled from an earlier work.
Line 148 ⟶ 150:
* ''[[The Love Boat]]'' literally ''will not'' "be taking another run". [http://now.msn.com/entertainment/0309-love-boat-ship-scrapped.aspx It was scrapped (recycled!) in March of 2012].
* At the end of the ''[[Charmed]]'' pilot episode "Something Wicca This Way Comes", Prue is seen holding the same newspaper from ''[[Mrs. Doubtfire]]'', [[Line-of-Sight Name|where Daniel Hillard gets his eponymous alias from]].
* After Pancor's demise the sole existing Pancor Jackhammer was obtained by Movie Gun Services before eventually being sold to a private collector. Movie Gun Services rented it out and it has appeared in more movies than there ever were Jackhammers produced. This was compounded further by the company offering 3D scaning, letting it appear in even more video games.
