(ECNS) -- A few Asian Americans have been finding opportunity in the movie props business, as Hollywood movie fans are throwing money at items from popular movies, according to World Journal (US).

Fong Sam, a second generation Vietnamese Chinese in the United States and an actor in the TV series Hollywood Treasure, is one of a few who have invested in popular movie props.

Many buyers are eager for involvement in the films through possessing the props, Fong said, and movie props can be sold for higher prices if the movie was a smash hit. He estimated that Superman's blue and red suit in Man of Steel is worth $10,000 on the market.

Fong also said although movie props are usually not the same as how they looked in the movie, fans are still fascinated by them. A basketball-sized model of a dinosaur head used in Jurassic Park, with the help of high-tech, became large enough to eat a car, he said.

Fong said he has collected more than 200 items of clothing worn in The Hunger Games and plans to hold an auction this year, taking advantage of the second volume's promotion.

It was reported that a 1967 Ford Mustang, named Eleanor in the movie Gone in 60 Seconds, was sold for $1 million.
