The Hollywood Casino in Tunica, MS has several movie prop vehicles. The last
time I went they had two APC's parked outside that had some extra sheet metal
stuck on and extra lights. They had Rambo's helicopter hanging from the
ceiling as well as a Hearier Jump Jet. The point is that there is some stuff
available, but the competition has deep pockets and the mods are cheep looking
up close.
