Line 38:
* Averted in ''[[Lord of War]]''. Not only were the tanks in one scene all real, but they were all sold right after filming completed. The scene actually had to be rushed because the arms dealer they were borrowing the tanks from had an unexpected buyer.
* Many movies where a variant of an M1 Abrams tank makes an appearance are likely using convincingly mocked up [[wikipedia:Centurion tank|Centurion]] tanks. Especially if said movies are not [[Backed by the Pentagon]].
* Overlapping with [[Just Plane Wrong]], the American military vehicles in ''[[Mars Attacks
* Famously averted in the Steven Spielberg comedy ''[[1941]]'' which used an accurate full-scale replica of an M3 medium tank built on the chassis of another one of the huge family of M3/M4 based vehicles. Just another reason why this movie went so spectacularly over budget.
* ''[[Children of Men]]'''s famous cityfighting scene features an obsolete Chieftain tank, presumably because the film-makers couldn't get their hands on a state-of-the-art Challenger II.
