Have you ever watched an episode of JAG for the first time and swore that you had seen that footage before? Well, you're not crazy. If you're a fan of military films, there is a good chance you've seen that fighter jet take off in a movie!
In fact, it's very common for TV shows and movies to borrow scenes from each other. Sometimes that footage comes from a movie's cutting room floor, but other times, it's a finished scene. In many cases, this is done because it would cost too much money to rent a military vehicle for such a quick shot. It's also a great alternative to footing the bill to send a a camera crew on location.
Test your knowledge of JAG and see if you can guess which movies's scenes have been featured in the show.
