Commodore 64 in the movies
While watching Police 'Academy 3: Back in Training' spotted that the control room is run using Commodore 64s. 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. |

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:

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. |

Slightly off topic:
"It came out in 1982, was discontinued in 1994, but its still used to run a freaking company in 2016. Thats awesome."

Found another C64 reference, this time in the series Criminal Minds Quantico, Season 3, Episode 14. Right around 16:30...
A conversation between Penelope and Kevin where she says "If you get within 100 feet of Agent Rossi, I will unleash an unrecoverable virus on your personal computer that will reduce your electronic world to a commodore 64 and a government block of cheese" |

That's not a threat. I'd be on the back of Agent Rossi in no time in that situation. :-D |
