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.

In the new second season of Abstract: The Art of Design on Netflix, there's quite a few minutes about the C64 in the episode about the head designer of Instagram, Ian Spalter.

Could have sworn I saw a C64 (or a VIC?) in the last john wick movie (saw it on a plane so the screen was kind of tiny)...

I'm kinda surprised I see no mention of Ready Player One in this thread... Now I'm writing this post in a taxi on my way to work, so I'm doing this from memory - I'm not sure whether the scene at the end, in the creator's home, actually has a C64 in it, but there's definitely a 1541 drive standing on the floor.

Has anyone mentioned the interactive Netflix movie "Black Mirror: Bandersnatch" yet? Great 80s themed movie linked to some C64 software development. Recommended to watch!

I had to check that... and yes indeed, you are right. there is C64 (breadbox) and 1541g both lying on the floor on 1:56:10. Nice find! I love this movie so much and I've seen it twice but missed this details. thanks.

I Blame the pandemic.

Anyhow, Mr. Robot was already mentioned, it has a C64 scene:
Season 2: Episode 11: round 10 minutes into the episode Angela is brought to a house with a black room to meet the chinese guy. There is a commodore 64, 1702 and 1541 disk drive in the center of the room.


* In Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency: Season 2: Episode 4: Around 11 minutes into the episode Ken is decrypting data from a 5,25 disk with a c64, 1702 monitor and a 1541 disk drive. Drive is not connected though. :)
