Replica AV-8B Harrier Jump Jet - True Lies Avengers Volo Museum This Harrier Jet was featured in 2 major films: True Lies (1994) The Avengers (2012) This Harrier Jump Jet is a full scale fiberglass replica that was originally built for the movie True Lies. After many years in the desert it made its way back on to the big screen in Avengers, where it was featured in the scene where it was smashed by the Hulk. The jet was heavily damaged in the movie and it took 2 years to rebuild it. Because of its double movie use, it was restored with one side markings as it appeared in True Lies and the opposite side as it was in Avengers. This Harrier Jet was also featured in Netflix Series "Pepsi, Where's My Jet?" In 1996, Pepsi used this jet in a commercial stating you could win it for 7 million Pepsi points. One kid found a loophole and met the requirements and went into a huge legal battle that made nation-wide news, to get a $30 million jet.
