Title: Commodore Pet sighted in Terminator 3!
Post by: redrumloa on July 04, 2003, 07:19:36 PM: That's right, Amiga's great, great grandfather the Commodore Pet has a cameo appearance in the new movie Terminator 3! :-o

I'm not going to say why or where because I don't want to ruin it for you, but the moviw is defuinately worth seeing anyhow:-)

I can confirm this - I also saw it - it looked like a Pet 2001 - the same model I used to own (I think its in the barn back home).

I just returned from seeing T3.

I just watched the entire movie again and I don't see anything remotely resembling an Amiga 600. The part where they are in a basement doesnt have one, unless I am blind. I recorded the whole movie to my hard drive, so if anyone can be specific where the A600 is supposed to be, i will make a snapshot.

I didn't think the A600 even had a keypad. That's what made it smaller than an A1200, a major A600 selling point or some such.

Post by: Staticman on July 07, 2003, 01:54:53 PM: I saw an Amiga 600 used in a program called 'Kiss Me Kate' (BBC) not so long ago.

I know.. its nothing up to the heights of Men In Black or Terminator 3 but i just thought u'd like to know 8-)

Post by: Gaidheal on July 08, 2003, 06:12:03 PM: A600 was horrible anyway... :¬)

I never saw it in the film, but I don't have it handy to haul out. My Amigaphilic friend is also a huge film buff and he never noticed it himself. But.. if anyone finds it and has still images to post of it..

A1200 was the most cool Amiga, imo. The only one I really did consider shelling out large amounts of hard earned cash for. Sadly.. it was very quickly thrashed by advances in PCs and not properly updated and supported by Commodore.

edit: The Pet and the Amiga are not even slightly related, though... Commodore acquired the Amiga concept, it was not in any way a descendant of the PET or the C64. (Just thought I'd point that out)

I just came back from seeing T3 this afternoon- good flick.

I don't want to spoil it (there's really not too many surprises, but the ones there are are good), so...

Look for the PET (sorry, it could be a PET/CBM as well, I wasn't looking too closely) near the end of the film when the heros are looking for SkyNet's core.

Actually if you think about it, the PET IS out of place- it's too new! :)

See the movie and you'll understand.
