Commodore 64 in the movies

While watching Police 'Academy 3: Back in Training' spotted that the control room is run using Commodore 64’s. At one point, a monitor goes haywire, and Paper Boy appears, although it appears to be Paper Boy the arcade game, opposed to Paper Boy the Commodore 64 conversion.

As Fatfrost said in the oneliner, Red Dwarf uses the C64 in their filming, particularly the earlier episodes.

OT: I bet there are many many home made bedroom flicks containing Commodore 64s.

Not the C64 itself but 6502 assembler code (at 1:11)

Westworld from 1973
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Westworld
also contained assembly sources on computer screens in a scene, it was similar to 6502 IIRC but it was something else as 6502 was released 2 years later in 1975...

@Isildur: that is Apple II code as a matter of fact.

There's not only funny appearances of Commodore computers in films, but also pretty painful songs about them:

('I hab an Amiga' is Austrian/Bavarian dialect for the German equivalent of 'I've got an Amiga')

Rodney McCay makes a reference to 'commodore 64' in Stargate Atlantis S04E04 - Doppleganger... About 2 minutes from the start.

Smallville (season 9, episode 11 & 12)..

Timer: 47:45 (ish)

There is a c64 presented as a workstation when all other computers are down. It's pretty funny how it's presented.
