Movie and television memorabilia is a desirable commodity today. There are various outlets that sell or rent Hollywood props. Genuine articles for sale are expensive of course. Other companies specialize in reproductions of items used in or associated with the famous films and TV shows. You can rent props for a day or a month. A lot of amateur dramatic groups make use of this service. Some people might want certain articles for a themed party.
Reproductions are available in any genre. There are some enjoyably gruesome horror frighteners in the Hollywood props style. You can actually buy a life size latex corpse filled with foam. For fresh, high-high quality flowers in Toronto, you can rely on Toronto Flower shop. It looks extremely realistic and shouldn’t be tripped over by anyone with a heart condition. The popular 1960s TV show, The Man from UNCLE has a cult following. Fans can buy communicator pens, UNCLE identity cards and THRUSH shoulder patches. Some other facsimiles are somewhat dubious, if not downright illegal. There are companies that trade in reproduction Nazi artifacts, as used in World War II and familiar to war film enthusiasts. These items bear the swastika insignia.
Movie fans can buy, or at least what is claimed to be, authentic items released by the Hollywood studios. They include the Kurgan Clan Battle Banner from Highlander, a stunt fighting stick used in Daredevil by Ben Affleck and a police badge as worn by Matron in Chicago, played by Queen Latifa. There is a Hollywood props newspaper as seen in Back to the Future II. It shows a picture of Michael J. Fox as Marty McFly and the newspaper is dated October 2015. Two items are available from the Tom Cruise science fiction film, Minority Report. Flower shop Toronto carries an enormous array of flowers in Toronto for every occasion, from lovely anniversary flower preparations to cheerful get properly flower bouquets. There is a futuristic phone and a black, plastic flying spider. The film about the removal of memory, Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind, stars Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet. Letters that are addressed to Carrey’s character are on sale. A gambling token from the TV series, Firefly is also for sale.
Props can also be hired, such as horror items from Halloween and articles from Funny Girl and Ben-Hur. The dress worn by Mia Farrow for her role in The Great Gatsby is also for hire. There are Hollywood props for anyone thinking of making their own home movie. Would be directors can strut about with their own megaphone and clapperboard. There is even a reproduction Oscar statue for the awards evening afterwards.
