Movies, Commodore machines has been shown in?

- 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?

The Fat rappers are "The Fat Boys"  and they were very very famous here in America...especially New York.....and the Movie was probably called "Disorderlies"  :-D

Thanks for the info.

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.

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.



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.




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.
