Michael Bay uses the same footage in two movies.
Pearl Harbor (2001) at 2:31:41
and
Transformers (2007) at 2:13:38
I made none of the footage shown... except for those lovely title cards

  • You're cool. Why would he shoot the samething over again when they're really about the same thing. A shot like this would cost thousands of thousands of dollars to shoot again. They'd have to pay for the helicopter/plane, and of course the permits to go shoot the freaking aircraft carriers, not to mention labor for the huge crew operating everything.

    It's his own footage.

  • That'show you save money and buy a new house :)

  • ha,ha! very sneaky

  • He just replaced the B-25s with F/A-18s.

  • So fun reading comments about efficiency and saving money. Isn't all that computer graphics?? You don't save a million on reshooting a scene like that.

  • @galaxypa Now that you mention it... Yeah. That's true! :D

  • @AccountofEpicness more like he was smart and saved money and other peoples time.

  • Conclusion -

    He is rich.

    And also lazy.

  • @BenHughesStudios 1. It pisses people off

    2. He's rich as fuck

    3. It was barely different

    

  • It's stock footage, you can buy that stuff anywhere. It just so happens, film directors such as Michael Bay and Speilberg have first dibs on such things. It's called a Hollywood film archive... Anyone could go in there, buy shots from other movies, not record a minute of footage, and make a movie.

  • Awww look at all the cute fans trying to make excuses

  • Do you realize how much it would freaking cost to be able to just film that 1 shot???? you cant just hire a fleet of the American navy every day... that would cost A FORTUNNNE to film. I would be surprised if that single shot WASN'T used in 10 movies over the next while.
