Public Enemies, 2009 staring Johnny Depp may have bank vaults since the movie is all about bank robbers.
There are a few real vaults in the movie but we don't get to see them for very long.

This Remington Sherman vault was the main standout, nicely photographed with what looks like natural light. A few seconds before this we get a glimpse of the emergency door. This former bank is now the Milwaukee County Historical Society.
Looks like there is an upper vault as well.
At the very beginning of this thread (December 22, 2009), one Hollywood scene was described where James Bond uses an X-Ray viewer to see the wheels in a small safe's lock. This was almost 20 minutes into the movie "Moonraker." The device was disguised in a large cigarette case (not a credit card). It looks to me like they shot some footage of a safe lock with the back removed then processed the color to make it look vaguely X-Ray-ish.

This one isn't quite Hollywood, but Van Nuys is only 8.5 miles away. An impressive but clearly fake vault door was constructed for an Aston Martin dealer (Galpin Ford). Behind the door is "Club Aston."

Note in the last image the locking bolts are not evenly extended.
Another one that isn't Hollywood but certainly represents a mock up. It's the "Coca-Cola Vault", where they keep the secret recipe!:(rofl):
Clearly they've gone to a lot of trouble and expense, but somewhat failed to really get it...
I like the way they labeled the vault THE VAULT in case people are confused. Inside is the "visitor experience" which includes a rectangular door behind which is the formula (which of course is not believable):

But overall I feel these two doors are fairly well done for being fakes. Somebody spent time looking at real doors before concocting these fabrications.
Look around 15 minutes for the most unconvincing mock up!
