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

@johnodon What a great movie (Swingers).

Here is my contribution:

[ballboff]

One of my favourite horror movies, maximum overdrive. The only film ever directed by Stephen King himself!

[ballboff]

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)

[circo]

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.

City Hunter (1993) – Street Fighter II (Capcom)

There's no gameplay shown apart from the character selection menu, but the whole scene is one great homage to the game.
