There is a TV movie "Collateral" that is now making rounds of the several HBO channels. There are several on location (I think) scenes with LAMTA equipment.

Of course the "shoot out" scenes were likely filmed on a studio set.

However, despite the shoot outs at various "venues" about LA, at least this time, the trains do nothing wrong. This is in contrast to that earlier Bruce Willis(?) flick showing an LAMTA train derailing while the system was still under construction.
