In 2008, a Hungarian art historian was watching the 1999 kids' movie *Stuart Little* with his young daughter when something in the background of one scene made him nearly drop her off his lap. What had he just spotted? A painting that had been missing for nearly 80 years His own childhood home A famous actor hidden as an extra A typo in a prop newspaper None In *The Wizard of Oz* (1939), Dorothy's ruby slippers are one of the most famous props in movie history.

In Quentin Tarantino's *The Hateful Eight* (2015), Kurt Russell's character grabs a guitar from Jennifer Jason Leigh and smashes it. Six prop replicas were made for the shot. So why is her shocked reaction completely genuine?
