Filmed in Bulgaria and South Africa, but I believe some scenes were filmed in USA Also, some were reused from Octopus 2: River of Fear and U.S. Seals -- Last edit: 2024-05-01 08:36:18 |

The IMDB also lists In Hell and Dog Watch (which we don't have) as stock footage sources. Dog Watch is the source or one of the sources of the San Francisco footage. -- Last edit: 2024-05-01 11:17:20 |

I strongly dislike these kind of movies that lazily reuse footage from other films. |

Eh, it's not as bad when they're reusing their own material. There was a time when reusing stock footage was a celebrated method. For a company to reuse its own action footage - especially when it's a company that clearly needs to cut costs as much as possible - I think is no big deal. But then, in the late 1990s and early 2000s, every low-budget movie company started buying action scenes from big studio movies. PM Entertainment, CineTel Films, even Nu Image themselves for a while, all did that. The trickery became too obvious, and now stock footage in general is just seen as lazy and despicable. Take the little uproar that happened when a couple of brief clips from The Island were spotted in Transformers 3. Personally, I only respect such use of stock footage if it's incorporated well. I want to see that the filmmakers went through some real effort to make their own footage blend perfectly with the stock footage they put in. If one shot is an impressive car chase with trucks on fire on the highway, but then the next shot is clearly an actor sitting in a Honda Civic in a Walmart parking lot, saying "oh my GOD, those trucks are on FIRE", then I just can't respect that. When you have a low budget, try your best not to make it too obvious. "Low budget" doesn't necessarily equal "low effort". Oof. Sorry for ranting like that. I just figured, since I talk about stock footage a lot, I might as well give my honest opinion on it. -- Last edit: 2024-05-02 16:10:35 |

/movie_83097-Smokey-Bites-the-Dust.html This film is full of 'stolen' (reused) chase scenes. I know this clip was reused too in another film, I can't remember which one off the top of my head: /vehicle_1186083-Toyota-Camry-ACV30-2002.html |
