This trope is a kind of Special Effects Failure when light objects are meant to portray other types of heavy material but fail to realistically convey the weight of that material. As the trope name suggests, this often results when fake rocks are made of styrofoam and consequently look too light to be made of stone. 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. 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. It's very common for containers to be empty of their contents simply because it's not visible to the audience. Why bother refilling an actor's coffee cup between takes when he can just pretend to drink from it? But when the actor handles the cup, he can't help but betray that it's too light to be full of coffee. Related to Hollywood Density, when the prop is too light because the storytellers never realized how heavy it actually would be. |

Used in Lord of the Flies for Piggy's death scene. He's crushed by a boulder, and they try to use camera tricks to minimize the amount you can see of it being fake, but it's very obvious that it's light and he's just crouching as it hits him to make it seem like it's killing him. | |

Played with on Phineas and Ferb; When they are constructing their life-sized replica of Niagra Falls, Ferb (on the ground) picks up a boulder and throws it all the way to the top of the structure. Phineas says that even though he knew that that was papier-mâché, the throw was still very impressive. | |

Used in-universe in an episode of The Legend of Tarzan. Tarzan freaks out when he sees a seemingly helpless actress about to be crushed by an avalanche, and rushes to save her. However, the actors show him after the scene that the boulders were actually fake ones that are incredibly light. | |

During the climactic attack at the end of Disney's Swiss Family Robinson when the titular family rolls the logs down the hill at the pirates, one of the "logs" collides with the head of an unfortunate pirate and makes a quite audible and very hollow, unwooden "bonk". It's hilarious. | |

Parodied in Garth Marenghis Darkplace; during a scene ostensibly set in a cemetery, several of the "gravestones" are very visibly wobbling from the wind in the background. In another episode, the heroes being attacked by a telekinetic villain is replicated by hurling obvious prop items at the actors, all of which bounce off harmlessly. | |

Fawlty Towers: 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. |

Back when Live Action TV really was live, this could be a problem as you couldn't just stop and fix things. On Captain Video a struggle between the spunky sidekick and Villain of the Week tipped over one of the 'rocks', leaving its hollow construction facing the camera while the two actors 'subtly' tried to put it back while carrying on their fight. | |

Doctor Who: This occurred in several early stories, but most notably in "An Unearthly Child" and "The Daleks." It was a variation in that rocks and rock walls were made of the stuff; the DVD of "The Daleks" points out where Ian accidentally pulls off a chunk of the rock face (!). It's entirely forgivable because the show was at the time confined to Lime Grove Studios. "The Dominators" features a scene where the Quarks enslave the Dulcians to do manual labour lifting rocks. There are extended scenes featuring some of the most melodramatically-acted styrofoam lifting ever committed to video. It's especially funny when the Dulcians buckle under the weight and collapse and the rocks bounce around all over the place like tennis balls. 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. In "The Green Death", the Doctor has to lean against a rock wall to retrieve an egg. The rock looks fine, but there's a really loud and clear styrofoam squeak audible when he does it. In "Robot", the newly regenerated Fourth Doctor performs a Brick Break. The brick prop looks good, but later in the scene he bats it to the ground in a tantrum and the impact makes the distinctive sound of balsa wood. The Ogri in "The Stones of Blood" are a whole alien race of this. There are some amusing on-set photos◊ of Tom Baker messing about with them. The piece of fallen rock crushing the Master in "Logopolis". Anthony Ainley's acting does a good job of conveying the weight, but when Tom Baker moves it he clearly cannot be bothered to pretend it's heavy and just tugs it up casually with one arm. |

Blake's 7. "Hostage" has a hilarious scene where Travis and his two hired thugs flee in terror from an ambush involving rolling rocks that bounce across their bodies without squashing them. You'd think as they were in a BBC Quarry Blake and his team could find some genuine rocks. Inverted in "Time Squad", where to make the BBC Quarry look more alien they had styrofoam plants among the real rocks. |

Seen occasionally in The Lord of the Rings films, as most of the sets were made of polystyrene (in fact, during production the films became the biggest consumer of polystyrene in the world). Thus, any time there are earthfalls, the rocks will fall a little too lightly. | |

21 Bridges: The robbers are explicitly said to be stealing 110 lbs of cocaine. Divided into four tote bags, each bag would weight 27.5 lbs. When Taylor Kitsch's character pulls his bags out of the car, however, they swing from the straps in his hands without any inertia, revealing that the props are almost weightless. | |

In the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Ethics", Worf's spine is broken when a cargo container falls on him. It seems almost humourous, since the way it falls and bounces indicates that it's so light it wouldn't even hurt a human, let alone a big sturdy Klingon. Likewise in "The Perfect Mate", a Ferengi "struggles" to lift a similar container that is clearly empty. | |
