9 Movie Sets Recycled In Other Movies

While the exterior of the Ghostbusters' headquarters is actually the Hook & Ladder Company 8 firehouse in New York, the interior of the Ghostbusters HQ is the disused Fire Station 23 in Los Angeles.

Fire Station 23 was built in 1910 and was a fully working fire station up until it was closed in 1960. Skipping ahead 30 years, and both the inside and outside of Fire Station 23 were seen as great movie sets - and most notably, said inside of Fire Station 23 was used for so much of the first two Ghostbusters movies.

Deciding that this most unique of locations was too good to be a one-and-done affair, Hollywood has returned several times to reuse Fire Station 23. One such recycle was in the Jim Carrey-headlined The Mask, in which the same Fire Station 23 set was used as the garage that Carrey's Stanley Ipkiss visits to try and sort out his car problems.

The Fire Station 23 interior and exterior sets have also been recycled and used in the likes of Big Trouble in Little China, Police Academy 2, The A-Team, and National Security.
