Huh. Cool to see this get some space on the HN front page. I created the Tumblr https://moviecode.tumblr.com/ https://moviecode.tumblr.com/ a few years ago and I've started this channel to go a little deeper into some of the examples. Hope people like it. Next up: two episodes of Knight Rider, Westworld (1973) and Swordfish.

Not a movie but there's a wonderful source listing in Lost Universe (I think) where the C code starts with some macros that use setjmp/longjmp to implement gosub/return. Will try to find specific episode/timestamp when I get home.

Can't wait for the Knight Rider one

I bet you'll find a trove of bugs in "Whiz Kids" and "Automan"

  Oh man, I loved Whiz Kids when it was on TV. I'm not specifically looking for bugs or 8 bit stuff just really spelunking into where the code came from. The Westworld one is very interesting because it's 1973 and Westworld was the first film with computer graphics in it... I finally figured out what's being shown.

I had a bunch of screenshots from a movie, I'll get back to you as soon as I found them. The VBA code is quite funny.

  Nice. Please submit them to my Tumblr!

One of the episodes of SG1 had the source code of the Replicators on screen, iirc it was the HTML output for the Bank of Canada. I just googled it and found http://thedailywtf.com/articles/Stargate-Code-of-the-Replicators http://thedailywtf.com/articles/Stargate-Code-of-the-Replica... so that might be a fun one to do a deep dive on.

  Yes, thanks. I have that one in the queue to do a video on. But thanks for that link as I'm trying in the text beneath the videos to credit people who discover these things and I'll add that.

    Here's another one if you don't already have it. Numb3rs shows Objective-C/UIKit code (UITableViewCell and NSArray *crayon) https://mtgap.wordpress.com/2009/08/14/objective-c-reference-in-numb3rs/ https://mtgap.wordpress.com/2009/08/14/objective-c-reference...

    Cool!, I love the site btw, I could get lost in that stuff for hours :).

      I went out for beers with those guys one time. They were all pretty cool individuals. It's funny because when I arrived at the restaurant, they were easy to spot. It was the table full of pony tails and neckbeards. (Not joking)

        Which guys?

Did you take a look at the 6502 assembler in "The Terminator". Maybe you can find the bug that stopped AHnold from killing Sarah Connor.

  That came from Nibble Magazine.

  Yes. I'm going to do that at some point.

  They really should have used the code that controlled the ghosts in Pac-Man.

Do Person of Interest please :). They actually used Shellshock on-screen as an exploit quite soon after it was in the news, and also AFAIR featured Stuxnet dumps. Revolution had some Lisp code in the first season[0]. [0] - https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/216352/lisp-in-Revolution.png https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/216352/lisp-in-Revolutio...

  Please submit stuff you see to the Tumblr so I can keep track of it all.

Arrival has an R Jupyter Notebook featured about half way through when they're doing analysis. And 24 had Chloe walking over to a terminal and doing `svn unlock xyz` once.
