The only U.S-filmed movie that I can think of that has a genuine T-72 is Transformers, during the scene where Captain Lennox's team is ambushed by Scorponok in the desert, and in that case the tank was wrecked.

Hmmm, IMCDB has it down as a real T-72, but I guess you might be right. Still, considering that surplus T-72s can be purchased for as little as $100,000 from Ukraine or other Eastern Bloc countries, I'd be rather surprised that the rental companies didn't acquire any.
