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.

@Sander: Great list! Incredible how much our breadbox was used in these tv series/movies.

I never knew such a list existed.. Thanks for enlightening me ;)

Quoting The Phantom
TV series Futurama has several references for c64-isms..

Benders brain is a "6502", for instance.

There are several c64 references in the series, I just can't name them at this time, but you'll have fun watching the series (or movies) looking for them.


I remember the episode with "car werewolf", in an old castle was a wall portrait with a Bender's forefather Commodore LXIV.

@LHS - I think the other episode with the "6502" had something to do with an f-ray.. I think the episode is called "Fry and the slurm factory".
I do recall the episode with the werewolf, but can't place a name on it.

I'm a huge fan of Futurama. I've all the episodes and movies and always get a laugh when I watch any of them.

someone mentioned this topic a few months back on world of spectrum

I was gonna post a site, but seen it's already been mentioned..

it was more funny when they did fake OS screens etc.

or in the UK anyway.. furniture shops had fake plastic cbm monitors and TV's and c64's to show how furniture would look.. texas had them if I recall.

this is a bit off topic since it's tv, but i saw a 64 on modern marvels '80's tech today. they had a simple basic program looping the name of the show.

Nightmares and Dreamscapes featured a story of a brilliant brother that tried to fix the world. When he was young he got a C64. I think it may have shown him using it. I can't remember back to last month though.
