9 Movie Sets Recycled In Other Movies

9. Scary Movie 4 Becomes Saw III

In a hugely ironic twist of fate, one of the sets from the fourth entry in the horror-comedy spoof franchise Scary Movie ended up being recycled and used in Saw III.

Like so many other horror pictures, the Saw series is one that has been mocked by the Scary Movie franchise at several turns - and one such moment came in Scary Movie 4.

In that Scary Movie 4 scene, audiences saw Shaquille O'Neal and Dr. Phil doing a send-up of that first Saw film. As both of these celeb guest stars find themselves waking up in a strange bathroom, ankles shackled, Dr. Phil erroneously ends up sawing off the wrong foot in as he looks to free himself.

By the time Saw III went into production just a month after Scary Movie 4's release, the cost-saving decision was made to use the Scary Movie 4 set for some of Saw III's scenes set in the bathroom locale that has become so synonymous with the Saw franchise.

Is this the the first example of a spoof movie seeing its set reused by the property its spoofing? It could well be.
