IH was used a lot in the moving picture industry. Albeit not always correct.

I assume it was due to availability.

Blues Brothers

Kelly's Heroes

Best movie ever, end of conversation ;D

Not sure if this is from a movie or even what one.

I agree that "Kelly's Heroes" is the best War movie ever!  8)

Except for when the vehicles get blown up on the hilltop.  I wonder where those two halftracks ended up?

Time for a bump.....

I painfully add this '08 B Sci-Fi movie 100 Million BC with Michael Gross (Tremors)

An M3 apparently travels into the future to save our heroes in a tunnel.

After a brief firefight it ends up getting punted by the dinosaurs tail.

I give it 1 1/2 stars only cuz it had the HT and some hottie T@A

You can't forget Patton, lots of really good halftrack shots. Also try the The Bridge at Remagan. The first part has good half track shots.

Hello all,

My M2A1 halftrack was used in the movie "The Incident" starring Walther Matthau and Harry Morgan.
I bought the DVD and yes, it can clearly be seen there. Director wanted to use it even though it
was missing the rear armor bed :)
