Movies, Commodore machines has been shown in?
« on: April 29, 2006, 06:27:03 PM »
Last week a friend of mine called and said I should watch 'Airplane II' 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?

There is a picture of an Amiga 2000 on a desk in "The Gods Must be Crazy II" in the photo gallery.

In an episode of Miami Vice Sonny Crocket actually uses an Amiga from some drug lord or something.

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! :-)
CD32 is actually the best Amiga ever made by Commodore!...

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.

@Orjan

At the very end in the abandoned cold war era bomb shelter. As they walk around confused, you can see C= Pets.

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.

Saw what looked like a 1084 in this movie recently.  Pretty bad B movie, btw.

In "Visitors" there is an episode in which there is a Dial up connection using a c64 datatape with the classing sound of c64/spectrum tape load

:)

It\\\'s time for the Amiga to come back
