Looking for Prison Bar Props from Halle Berry’s Escape Scene in Catwoman (2004).

[Roland33]

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to track down any information about the bendable prison bars used in Catwoman (2004), during the scene where Halle Berry’s character, Patience Phillips, escapes custody by squeezing through the bars.

In the film, the bars visibly flex as she moves through them, suggesting they were made of rubber, foam, or another flexible material. I’m curious to know:

Were these props ever archived or preserved after filming?

Did they show up in any auctions, studio sales, or private collections?

Has anyone here ever seen or handled them?

I’ve checked auction sites like Propstore, Heritage, YourProps, and HeroProp, but haven’t found anything. Would love to hear from anyone who might have insight or connections to the prop or set design crew.

Thanks in advance!

Some possibilities: prison bars + doors are the kind of prop that can be stored easily by the studio. Doesn't take much room and, as you know, real-estate is at a premium in a studio.
They were (maybe) auctioned. Again, who has the room to exhibit an entire length of bars, framed + door in their house?

Props from older movies are resurfacing almost every year so there's still a chance they're bound to be posted up somewhere as a new special item....Especially since halle berry's body was in close physical contact on those prison bars which could add to its value.
