Tron Sample

http://www.rifftrax.com/rifftrax-presents/tron - Have you ever wondered what the inside of a computer looks like? So did Disney, and its pretty clear they didnt do any research when they made Tron. RiffTrax invites you to join internet superstar Jonathan Coulton and less-famous-but-still-kind-of-funny comedy/music duo Paul and Storm on their adventure through a luminous blue world of phallic helmets, light-up Frisbees and tight white unitards. A pre-Dude Jeff Bridges stars as a hotshot video game programmer who gets laser beamed into the worlds dullest rave by David Warners evil supercomputer. Cindy Morgan, fresh from the Denise Richards school of unlikely scientists, maybe has a thing for Bruce Boxleitner, who I think is really good at playing this one motorcycle game or something? We cant say for sure, there were a lot of flashing lights and Casio synth music and we kind of fell asleep for a little while.

One thing is certain: beneath the silly costumes and bad CGI theres a powerful message about humanity, communication and freedom, not to mention a studio executive whose creative judgment was impaired by a bad case of Pac-Man fever. Insert coin to continue.

Pause at 1:04 and look at the screen.

Do I see pacman on there?!

[MidgetMe]

Anyone else spot pacman in the movie at 1:03 on the right of the monitor? It's been talked about on the internet before but I had no idea until I spotted it in this clip!

This isn't Mike and the bots...

[gentlerat]

Somehow the animation looks as good as the new one in its own way. Does everything have to be 100% realistic anyway?

[silarnon]

@colacadstink Yes, that's pacman. And if you listen carefully, you can even hear the pacman game sound effects.
