This is probably more common in movies than people think. A Youtube video shows that Michael Bay recycled footage from his 2005 movie "The Island" for Dark Of The Moon. You can see side by side shots of a couple of scenes. The video can be seen here, however it has been embedded below.



Here are a couple of stills captured from the video

I know, I saw this. He also used footage from Pearl Harbor in the first TF movie. Though it was a short clip.

Ehhh, it worked for what it needed to do.

Now, if someone could explain how the Dreads could run faster (or it appeared to me they were) then the 3 autobot (high performance cars) could drive?
New pics added as I find time.

Because they have dreads. That means they're able to run fast. :P

That clip of the aircraft carrier. It was a short clip. It was used in ROTF too when Galloway was recaping the end of the first movie.

Even though the results were seemingly good in TF3, seeing this makes it feel slightly cheapened to me. Never saw The Island, so I'd have never known likely.

This is nothing new, footage sounds & music have all be reused in movies and tv shows before so why should it be a shock that bay does it too? never knew the island was a bay film, guess thats why it was so mediocre.
