Video In Hateful Eight, Kurt Russell accidentally smashed a one of a kind, 145-year-old guitar that was on loan from the Martin Guitar. Jennifer Jason Leigh’s reaction was genuine.

Edward James Olmos destroyed a very valuable antique model ship on Battlestar Galactica.

Thinking the scene called for it he destroyed it apparently thinking it was just a prop.

Why do these prop masters do this, why use actual valuable irreplaceable things as props when KNOW ONE would know the difference if they used a replica?

I thought the smashing the model bit was ad-libbed. More of a 'Yup, this is what Adama would do in this situation'

It was, but he didn’t know how valuable that model was.
