Michael Bay used clips from The Island in Transformers: DOTM

Busted!

Wow, can they be punished for using that material?

Wooow. Good find! 👍


**EDIT**
From what I read though, it was a necessary thing because the original footage shot had a scene ended up with a female extra seriously injured. Smart move by MB in order to probably respect the girl's family and the city of chicago.

Or something like that

Its his own footage so theres no legal issues, just laugh worthy ones.

Need to fill time in a movie?, raid the Paramount clip bin

That is slightly lame considering the budget for Transformers! I guess they need to still recoup some money from The Island's mediocre performance. If you happen to also come across scenes with a silver Porsche 911 Turbo then you know someones run off with the production check!

Why don't they go the whole hog and put some Scarlett Johassen scenes back in

EDIT - But seriously if its to respect that girls family then fair enough.

Interesting. Too bad they didn't do that for Aaliyah.

This find makes the mind wonder how common this is. I know cartoons (at least older ones - Ren & Stimpy was (in)famous for it) will use older clips with different colors and voiceovers. A MMP like this one is still shocking, even with the story about the injured extra.

It's nothing new for some movies.

I'm surprised anyone even noticed, its not like many people saw the island, and those that did, probably blocked it out of their memory.

Why? I thought it was enjoyable enough.

Bay is just the worst director ever.

I'm sure it was, but it wasn't a huge block buster, and from the people who have seen it that I know, it wasn't that great of a movie.

The Island was infinitely better than Transformers 3 though. Not saying that it's good, just saying Transformers 3 was awful.

Bay is just the worst director ever.

Uwe would like to have a word with you.

I don't know if anyone has mentioned it, but this isn't the first time that Michael Bay has reused a scene from one of his previous movies. This scene was originally used in Pearl Harbor, but Bay used the same scene (albeit a slightly altered version) in the first Transformers film.

Also, I though The Island was a decent film, not great, but it was fairly enjoyable to watch.

Wow you guys are jaded about these movies. And honestly I dont care if someone reuses scenes from a certain movie.

Oh god I forgot about him. 💡
