Arcade goodness in movies
Ummon:
Been watching a bunch of 80s movies lately and two that have some good scenes of arcades and machines are War Games (at about fourteen minutes) and Fast Times at Ridgemont High (opening credits - lots of close-up screen shots).
Franco B:
There's plenty more spots in [this] thread.

I only realised it cos it was randomly on Cable the other night, but there's a big scene where a guy gets shaken down in an arcade in Robocop 2. No super-special cabs, but plenty of late-80's machines on show. I think he puts the guys head throgh the screen of the rather cool 'Midnight Resistance'.
Joey Butafuko:
Terminator 2 in the Galleria comes to mind, John Connor in a full cockpit After burner.

Back in '85 I was living in Tulsa and one afternoon while playing in the arcade at the mall, a movie crew came in and started filming. There was a guy that was giving out plenty of tokens to keep everyone playing and I spent mine on the stand up Star Wars & Galaga. Everyone that stayed had to sign a release to be filmed but I do not recall if the movie was ever released. It was supposed to be named "Wild " something.
