Title: Movies, Commodore machines has been shown in?
Post by: ricco32097 on April 29, 2006, 06:27:03 PM
Last week a friend of mine called and said I should watch 'Airplane II (http://imdb.com/title/tt0083530/)' because they were using a Commodore 64 in it. Sure enough, it looked quite like one. I remember as a kid watching one of the 'Police Academy' movies, and they used one too.

Other movies?

Lethal Weapon 2 (i Think it was part 2)  they had an A1000 at the Lady Cops house playing Three Stooges.

Paula Abdul's  Cold Hearted Snake...or is it slave?  has an A500 controlling a Midi interface...the guy in the Video Playing the Paino right in the beginning before the music starts................you got to record the clip and play it slow to catch it.

I think Darkman III also has quite a few A3000's in one of the Labs.....or maybe it was another movie. I can't remember.



Someone should make a DVD of all these clips! :-)

A month or so ago i accidentaly flipped over showtime europe, and they were showing a movie that had a a4000 in it. Not only did they show this amiga, but it was operational in the movie and they actually used it inside of the movie.

I sadly have no idea what the movie was named, as the epg guide for this channel does not work. The amiga was in the picture for atleast a couple of minutes.

EDIT: It was actually an a4000 and not a 2000 as orginally stated.

The police station in Miami Vice used an Amiga 1000 with a 1010 drive.
In an episode there was this "bad guy" who had two A2000s with some sort of sheets of black plastic or something over them.
I've also seen an A1000 being used in a film in which a bunch of people play a real-life RPG in some research center, but one of the lab monkeys goes berzerk and kills most of them - most amusing!
I've also seen an Amiga 4000 keyboard in Michael Jackson
's Ghost video (it's on some rack with equipment shown at the end of the video).
Ummm caqn't remember seeing any others.

in "On The Edge- the rise and fall of commodore" it mentions that a Pet 2001 can be seen in one of the early scenes in of Star Trek Wrath of Khan.

I also remember seeing Garth wearing a Video Toaster T-shirt at Wayne Stock in Wayne's World 2.  I just did a google and found the reason why.
The engineer who did the first wire-wrap Video Toaster is a Brad Carvey, brother of none other than Dana Carvy AKA Grath Algar.  It seems that Garth is based on Dana's brother.

I know it's not a movie, but in the early Red Dwarf series there was at least one C64 on the bridge.  The  most memorable scene was the episode where Kryten sends his hand back to Red Dwarf to get help and it ends up crawling up Lister's leg.  Lister and the Cat, too afraid to move or even talk, use the C64 to type messages to each other.

Some of the early Inspector Morse episodes also feature an A2000 with a 1084 monitor. The first time they used one I recognised the noise the A2000 PSU makes, that was even before the camera zoomed in on the A2000... :-)

Also if anyone can remember the Alf series from the eighties, they used an A2000 in the garage, although I am not sure during which season...

I put a screenshot of Lister with a C64 (http://www.amiga.org/gallery/index.php?n=1384) in the user gallery here.

I also remember watching an episode of Inspector Morse which had an A500 in it (something about computer viruses, and this kid had an Amiga 500 in his room which got infected with a virus).

In City Slickers (one or two, I'm not sure) end scroll, you'll find that Commodore Amiga has been the main sponsor of the film, and that they've used Amiga for creating some effects, not sure which... Long time I've seen that movie, but still, I remeber that.

- I confirm A500 spotted into "Betrayed" the movie.


- Also Amiga was shown into: Max Headroom TV series


- Again *** (Three stars'cameo) Star Trek IV Voyage Home

Just check the fonts of the Vulcan multi-screen Super Computer of 400 years yet to came, that Mr. Spock uses to train again the "Ways of Logic".

It was shown "Garnet Font" if I remember well. And I wrote a line about this fact on Wikipedia also. :-D

How bad it was used for special effects and not shown in all its beauty.

And I remember you all that in the same movie Macintosh Plus sure looks poor and "How Quaint!" relict of the past, as stated by Commander Scotty, while Amiga is the best computer of the future as choosen by the most logic race in the entire universe.  :-D  :lol:


- Again I have seen Amiga in Baywatch TV series.


- Also again I have seen A1000 with external sidecar and external floppies in a movie (a comedy) in which three black very fat people trade them as false "medics" to assist a very rich white man which is sick due to some poison that his secretaries gave him.
(They were very very fat people and rap singers, and I believe these men were famous b-movies america black people rap-singers and comic-showmen of '80s).

The Amiga 1000 at the end of the movie collapse from upto a desk down onto floor and explodes.
(I think it was a trick with a void A1000 case because computer furnitures were very expensive in eighties.)

Unfortunately this movie passed during night movie show here in Italy, I started seeing it not from the opening and I couldn't reach the name of this b-movie-rated comedy.
Is there someone capable to find at least American title of this b-movie?

Does nobody remember Neighbours?  I know it is not strictly a movie but neither were some of the other posts.

They had what i think was an amiga 500 on a trolley with a monitor (like the trolleys you get in schools).  They used to have it in Paul Robinsons office.  Then when they did a scene in another location, that need a home computer, they would wheel in the same amiga on the same trolley.  It was there for at least 5 years.

Regarding Music Video featuring Amigas, I have seen some in the eighties showing Amigas, but at this precise moment I am not capable to recall them well.

- Again there are the Music Videos of Todd Rundgren the musician which are all made with Amiga and featuring Amigas.


And finally here in Italy there is a comic book made by famous mac-holics.
Its name is "Martin" Mystere By Bonmelli Editore Press, from the team lead by Alfredo Castelli .

This comic strip talks about a scientist involved in mysteries such as Atlantis, UFOs, ghosts, Area 51, crop circles, and related amazing and impossible topics.

But it is not as usual comic-strips ones.

It is very very a mix of culture, history, trivia and it is such an uninformal comic strip with lots of humor, action, intelligent talking, suspence and amazing impossible endings. I love it.

(http://www.sergiobonellieditore.it/editore/img/martin_mystere.gif)

http://www.bvzm.org/

http://www.bvzm.com/

In Italy here was also lessons about Martin Mystere into Universities in lessons on literature and literature para-phenomena such as comics.

Unfortunately the comic makers are mac-holics, and made even the main character Martin Mystere Ph.D. (Martin Mystery as edited in USA by Dark Horse Comics) crazy and mac-holic himself.
Martin Mystere even upgraded its macintosh models various times during these 25 years of the comic-strip press releases, starting from its ancient first one computer: a Macintosh Plus. :lol:

Comic makers are so in love with Apple Macintosh that they even usually draw it into MM image poses.

(http://www.fumettibelli.com/IMAGES/martin-mystere-foto-di-grup.jpg)

This italian comic-strip shown once a time even an Amiga, :-o in a story talking about computer viruses.

They drawn strips showing SCA Virus acting on the A1084 monitor of an A1000... But they canceled the name "Amiga" on the drawn case of A1000 into the strip.
(I love the comic makers of "Good Ol'Uncle Marty" because they are great and very very intelligent people but they are such some ba-*BEEP*-ards when they glorify their macintoshes such as COMPUTER GODS ENTITIES...

But maybe simply they canceled Amiga name to avoid to be sued by Commodore which was still alive, in those days the virus adventure of MM was released).

Some of you could have known about Martin Mystery due to the recent anime TV series featuring a young Martin, Java the neanderthalian and his girlfriend Diana Lombard.

(http://www.cartonionline.com/tv/raidue/martin_mystere/Martin_mystere_01.jpg)


P.S.: commodore C64 spotted in cameos:

Regarding movies featuring C64 I remember you all of C64 playing cruise missiles flying in wireframe 3D graphics 2frame-per-second animation (eh, eh, eh!) :-D into "Never Say Never Again" 007 movie with Sean Connery.

As well as the C64, there are a couple of Amiga 2000 keyboards used in various episodes. The one that springs to mind is the 'Holoship' where there are A2000 keyboards on view in a few scenes...

I think there are also some in the control room of Red Dwarf...

I think the show: Clarissa explains It all from Nickeloden in the 90s either used Amiga behind the scenes or in front of the camera.

Nick Arcade: A show where kids were transported into a Video Game via green screen also used Amigas. They used Amiga 3000 and GVP's Impact Vision 24 to make custom 24 bit 2d graphics. Quite nice. Was at Nickeloden in NYC and someone brought it up, an I explained the whole us of Amigs.

They use almost 100% macs now.

I think one of the prizes as a commdore Amiga

Here's another Amiga Story... Star Trek related. I spent 5 years working on licensed product and heard a story recounted regarding the early days of Amiga.

If you ever noticed Star Trek: The Next Generation had really nice on screen computer display graphics. Those were all created on the MAC using Director and played back on Betacam SP decks.

Well guess who they wanted to use first? Amiga, but all their calls to Commdore went unanswered. So they called Apple, who assigned full time staff to the project.

Another high profile us of Amigas that went sour.

IIRC, the made-for-TV movie "Get Smart, Again!" has an A1000 in it, used to show criminal profiles.  I saw that when it was broadcast in 1989 so my memory might be wrong.

The music video for Peter Shelly's "Homosapien" has a PET in it.  It's a large keyboard model, but the display appears to be 40-column and white, so I think it's a PET 2001.

I remember seeing a VIC-20 in a music video by... America?  No clue what song.

I thought the old Commodore machine in Kirk's office wasn't a PET 2001.  I thought it was a B-Series machine.  But what do I know?  It's been ages since I've seen it.

"It's all about the Pentiums"

You can find it on the album "Running with scissors"

Be shure to check out the rest of the songs  :lol:

Several months ago, DW TV German show biography / documentary movie of Franz Beckenbauer, the famous German Soccer Player.

There are several scenes of Franz playing / standing near "Amiga" advertisement on the side of the soccer field.

Is this Amiga Computer advertisement or something else?

What about the old movie "Electric Dream"?
Is it Kaypro or Amiga or something else?

Commodore and Amiga were known to sponsor football teams so it probably is Amiga Computer advertisements
