* Robby the Robot. Originally created for the 1956 film ''[[Forbidden Planet]]'', Robby continued to be reused in many movie and TV productions up to the present day (although since the 1960s a lightweight replica has been used). Its two appearances in ''[[Lost in Space]]'' are particularly ironic in that Robby and Robot B-9 were both designed by Robert Kinoshita. Robby is so memorable that it is less a prop and more of an actual character. Along with all the sci-fi shows he turns up in, Robby also appears in of all things one of the NBC era ''[[Columbo]]'' episodes as a robot built by a child genius at a think tank. He's even listed on IMDB as an actual ''actor''. |

* ''[[The Matrix]]'' used several sets from ''[[Dark City]]'' (filmed at the same Sydney studio a few months before, and exploring some similar themes), most notably the roof-case from the teaser chase scene and the spiral staircase in the Lafayette Hotel. |

* The Room of Requirement in the last ''[[Harry Potter (film)|Harry Potter]]'' recycles basically every set and prop from the previous movies (for instance, the giant chess pieces from the first, Snape's storage from the fourth, and the wedding decorations from part 1 of the seventh). CGI example: Buckbeak's wings are re-used as the wings of the flying horses pulling the Beauxbatons carriage. |

* The teddy bear Jack Ryan gets for his daughter at the end of ''[[The Hunt for Red October]]'' is the same teddy bear John McClane was bringing for his kids in the first ''[[Die Hard]]'' film. Both films were directed by John McTiernan. |
