ill_industries Posted May 28, 2007 i know this movie is old as dirt and many have not seen it or remember it, but i bought the movie about a year ago and am interested in finding out depending on how much you know about this movie, this is my question... i am looking for a list of the laptops that were used, specifically the clear one that was shipped to Dade what the heck is that thing? is it a mac? is there any way that some one out there would possibly know the model? i have tried emailing most of the old movie websites to find out that most of them do not exist or the site admin just wont reply to emails from their listed address. if you know what that thing is or could point me in a better direction, that would be awesome! thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crow47 Posted May 28, 2007 (edited) Screenshots would be a huge help to us. Here's an article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hackers_%28film%29 Edited May 28, 2007 by Crow47 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
suchuwato Posted May 28, 2007 Most of the 'tech' in Hackers was fake, and the laptops (if I remember correctly) were running pre-rendered (obviously) video, as they were props. Remember people, flashing lights makes it go faster! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andrewr05 Posted May 28, 2007 Most of the 'tech' in Hackers was fake, and the laptops (if I remember correctly) were running pre-rendered (obviously) video, as they were props. Remember people, flashing lights makes it go faster!Yea and the screen projected what they were viewing onto their faces... And all the flashing lights and the *bleep* *blip* *bloop* noises every time someone used a computer God I hate Hollywood movies... (yet I love them so much) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest ecthlipsis Posted May 29, 2007 Hacking in movies is just pure genius. I just mentioned that in a different post. Remember the Da'Vinci virus in Hackers? It was like a video of a man saying "row row row your boat" You remember that? lol... In movies people are like "Hey, I think I'm going to turn off this guy's credit" and 10 seconds later they somehow have control of all 3 credit companies and bankrupt the guy. I'd be surprised if the best hacker in the world could do that in a month, if ever. In regards to that computer... I don't remember, and why do you care? I'm sure it was some modded POS anyway and even if you found one, what are you going to do with a 200mhz cpu? lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
