A mate of mine told me that most of the US taxis, police cruisers and so on from the Glasgow filmed bits of World War Z are sitting rusting away in a junkyard somewhere on the outskirts of the city.

Nope. Absolutely spot on. You should e-mail your CV to the E.B.C`s Film Review.

Apparently, the original ending was much bleaker.

There's a 1950 film (mentined on HG here), and an 1980 TV dramatisation.

I wouldnt think all of them are,, a lot of that stuff was on hire. Two of the cruisers came from a prop company in london. The bin lorry and the cars that got crushed in the main Glasgow scenes might be though. ask your mate where he saw them.
