10 Movies You Didn't Know Recycled Footage From Other Films

10. Stigmata Used Subway Footage From Money Train

When Rupert Wainwright was putting his biblical horror Stigmata together, he needed footage of a train's exterior but didn't have either the budget or the means to film it. The solution was simple: borrow it from elsewhere.

The shot Wainwright and his creative team ended up using came from the 1995 action film Money Train, which had plenty of scenes featuring speeding subway cars for obvious reasons, and it featured in Stigmata for a mere second.

During the scene where Patricia Arquette's Frankie is being lashed by invisible whips, the camera briefly cuts to an exterior shot of the train travelling at high speed, footage that was recycled from the Wesley Snipes-fronted movie.

Although most viewers didn't noticed because the recycled shot was so fleeting, there's a metal pole sticking out of the locomotive's front window due to damage it sustained during one of Money Train's action sequences.
