Ahh... Good one! I just watched that again last month. I should've thought of it.

Also, don't think there's a full clip of either of the scenes but they use Point Blank in The Spy Who Dumped Me, you see it a bit in the trailer

One of my favourite horror movies, maximum overdrive. The only film ever directed by Stephen King himself!
-
and while we're on it. Let's mention the legend himself Mr Hulk Hogan! Suburban Commando....
-
Ninja 3: The Domination (1984) - Bouncer
(at 1:55)
There's an interesting story behind this game: the cabinet used in the movie was actually a prototype but the actual game was never released due to financial difficulties. Thus, Ninja 3 ended up being the only proof of its existence, together with another video
So yeah, like a real Polybius, minus the subliminal messages
-
The Big Bang Theory S8E7 (2014) – Asteroids (Atari) and Donkey Kong (Nintendo)
-
Not as old as some of the others, but in Friends - The One with Monica's Thunder (2000) Chandler plays Crash Team Racing.
-
hackers (1995) has wipeout, but it's really some sort of prototype/pre-render thing:
reign over me (2007) features shadow of the colossus throughout:
-
Rumble in the Bronx (1996), a Sega Game Gear, with no game.
-
@celly That could be a whole new thread: Movies/tvshows where they act like they are playing a game, but it's clearly impossible. I saw a Dutch movie (bro's before ho's) where they were pointing the Nes zapper at an lcd tv, acting like it actually worked.

@bobharris i remember watching an episode of the original show Roseanne (on purpose) and they had got a video game system. It was horrible watching bad actors, pretend to be playing what was probably a SNES.
