* In ''Series/ElChapulinColorado'', it's not only rocks but literally everything. El Chapulín hits an enemy with a chair, and you can actually see the styrofoam right there.

* ''Webcomic/FullFrontaNerdity'': One strip had the characters discussing police procedural tropes they hated, one of which was obviously-empty coffee cups. The accompanying panel shows the characters dressed as police detectives, each holding their coffee cup in a way that would be impossible if it were full and talking about how if they were better at solving crimes they might be able to afford coffee instead of just the cups.

Added a comma. I recognize that the sentence is probably technically correct without it, but I feel like it makes the reading smoother.


The way that actors handle props can also betray their true weight. Many props are intentionally created to be lighter for convenience. If an actor needs to move an object around quickly, precisely or without laborious effort, lighter props make it easier. Handling or carrying heavy objects over the course of a performance can also wear the actors out, so lighter props preserve their stamina.

* In the commentary for ''Film/{{Underworld}}'', the movie's creators point out in a scene towards the end of the movie that some of the stone debris from someone getting thrown through a wall can be seen to float in a pool of water. Oops.

* ''Series/FawltyTowers'': Certain props are clearly lighter than they should be, such as suitcases which Basil or Manuel carry upstairs. Several other examples occur in "The Builders":
** The enormous garden gnome, which Basil bangs on the desk, showing it to be much lighter than a garden statue of that size would be.
** The cup of tea which Polly gives to O'Reilly, which is probably empty.
** The wall which has replaced the dining room door, which wobbles when Basil bangs Manuel's head into it.

* ''VideoGame/MarioParty6'': The rocks in Rocky Road are less than convincing. They shake like they are attached to springs, get a dent as you punch them and have sounds more fitting papier-mache.

Added prop


The true weight of a prop is often revealed by the way it interacts with gravity. When a light prop, such as a styrofoam rock, gets dropped, it will often bounce in a way that reveals how light it actually is. A heavier object would have to be going a lot faster to bounce, sometimes fast enough that the impact would crack the material instead. The prop may also ricochet harmlessly off of actors or other scenery that, in all reality, should have been crushed by the heavy object it represents.

** In "Frontier in Space", the Ogron mooks use their great strength to smash through a solid door...except you can clearly hear the wooden splinters bouncing off the floor.
