9 Movie Sets Recycled In Other Movies
1. Billy Madison Becomes X-Men
Billy Madison was Adam Sandler in his glorious man-child prime. Screaming, shouting, cracking wise, drinking beers, and being a general pain in the ass, that movie and Happy Gilmore were seen as the two real breakout pictures for Sandler following his Saturday Night Live stint and roles in Coneheads and Airheads.
In Billy Madison, we see Sandler living it up at a swanky mansion, swimming in its water features, getting wasted, and just generally being the 1995 version of an Adam Sandler character. Jumping ahead to 2000 though, and that same Penguin-laced mansion would be reused in Bryan Singer's first X-Men movie.
The front of Xavier's School for Gifted Children may have used a different exterior, but the back of Professor X's school was the one and the same location used for the antics of Billy Madison. That mansion set - which can be found in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada - was then used for several further X-Men films.
Elsewhere, this brilliant backdrop has been revisited for the likes of Chicago, Hollywoodland, Fever Pitch, Bulletproof Monk, and more recently for Netflix's fantastic The Umbrella Academy.
