A Jeep CJ-3B is a fairly unusual sight in Hollywood films, usually limited to brief cameo appearances. The best ones are probably Good Morning Vietnam (1987) and Riders to the Stars (1954). But the biggest roles for the CJ-3B have been in films from around the world, like Scent of Vengeance (Spain, 1995), Children of Nature (Iceland, 1991), Dharmatma (India, 1975), and I Hate But Love (Japan, 1962).
