Modifying footage for a different film is one thing but reusing the exact same scene like using the same explosion in two films in the same series is something else. Everyone remembers when Captain Kirk and Sulu joined forces to take down a Klingon, bird-of-prey. In Star Trek Generation just three years later the exact same explosion was used to end its own climatic map.

2) Transformers: Dark of the Moon

The plots of Transformers and the Island could not be farther apart. A story about the aliens reboot at war and other is a vision of the future where close of the wealthy are grown to be harvested for their organs.

Fox decided that instead of filming the scenes it would just use the footages from one of their previous shows Dark Angel.
