Trivia

Armored Columns in Los Angeles

Despite what the critics say, there is an impressive (if unsuccessful) defense of Los Angeles by a slew of U.S. Armored Vehicles; most of these vehicles are played by more easily available British stand-ins belonging to a movie rental company called Army Trucks Inc. The tanks are Chieftain tanks visually modified to pass as M1A1 Abrams, as also seen in many other movies such as Jarhead and Cloverfield, while the M113 APCs are played by FV432 APCs. It seems only two real tanks were present, with CGI trickery used to create the remainder of the column.

The two front tanks are easily identified as Army Trucks Inc's Chieftain-chassis fake Abrams, while the ones further back appear to be CG fakes; note that unlike the tanks ahead they do not have a raised lip on the glacis plate, and the shape of their hull front is more correct for an Abrams. Note also that none of the rear tanks are obscured by the exhaust smoke of the pair in front.

Military Helicopters
