Movie making is an expensive business. It’s not unheard of for projects to cost hundreds of millions of dollars to complete thanks to intricate sets, logistics, and props. That being said, not every single prop you see in a movie is made exclusively for that production. Some are borrowed from the vaults.

In fact, some of the most iconic pieces of cinema history aren’t originals at all but loaned from previous projects. From the submarine used in Raiders of the Lost Ark to the infamous Batmobile, filmmakers have saved a fortune by digging through storage and repurposing seriously expensive props.
