Movies, Commodore machines has been shown in?

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

I remember Puppet Master 2 I think it was they used a Amiga 2000.  Cant remember exactly what they where doing but i do remember them all looking at the screen and it had like an animation of one of the puppets.  Bones had an Amiga 1200 recently in a show also.  Our Arena here in Spokane uses an Amiga 3000 to control their reader board also, thought that was kool:)  We also are have an Amiga cd32 and A3000 at work for plaing games on too (course i'm co-owner lol)

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.

If I remember correctly. There was a show called My Secret Identity which had Amiga 2000's in it.

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.

Not  movie but a TV show - In headcases the Iranian Prime minister guy complained when he pressed the wrong button on his Commodore 64.

Also on the IT Crowd there is a Commodore Pet and also posters of commodore machines.

In stargate Atlantis season 4 Dr Rodney McKay tels John Sheppard he is playing Commodore 64 on his time offs...
Don't remember the episode. But it was kinda fun hearing the C64 being mentioned in my favorite TV series...

earth girls are easy. an amiga destroyed by a bowling ball. quote "and they said the amiga would stand up to anything." :lol:

[Gwion]

On final destination 2 in the extras a A1200 is used to measure the heart beat (i think) coz they were testing how scared ppl were of the film.

@pyrre

That Mckay dude also mentions how when he was a kid he didn't play with toys like other kids and the instead he had a Commodore 64. That was cool, too. I think any mention of C=64 or Amiga like that is awesome even though I know nobody around here that would get the references. :-/ I even think it's cool in that song where Weird Al says "You think your Commodore 64 is really neato? What kind of chip you got in there? A Dorito?".  :lol:

@Einstien

In Stepfather 3 his stepson + A500 + modem give him a hard time:

Except there are all kinds of stickers on it covering the logos.

[Vlabguy1]

mm..I was going to say Disorderlies(kind of a funny movie at the time).  There is a 1702 monitor in the movie "Spys Like Us" Chevy Chase, Dan Akroid..

And I know of atleast one porno movie, where they had one A1200, and a 500 in a
few scenes.. :-)..

Doubt it, Wargames was made in 82, the C64 wasn't even out then, he used a amsai8080 I believe.
