Worst hacker movies

[bascule]

I have to say that Ghost in the Machine was hilariously awful... especially when the 12 year old kid offers to hack into the DMV and erase her speeding tickets or something if his hot babysitter (who died shortly thereafter) showed him her boobs (and not even that, she just unbuttoned her shirt a little... didn't remove the bra or anything...) The moral of that story is never scan your address book into a computer because a serial killer will accidently get transferred into the power grid by the electric chair, will find the digital copy of your address book, and start killing everybody on it

There was also the 1995 remake of The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes starring Kirk Cameron... that was too awful to even begin to describe

Anti-Trust was fucking horrible, and not in a good way. The next time I hear someone request a "realistic hacker movie" I'm going to punch them. MURDERED FOR CODE!

Then there's the Lawnmower Man, a stinking turd completely divorced from the Stephen King story. It smelled so bad Stephen King sued to have his name removed from it... and won.

I also have not seen HaXXXor Girls, but that would probably be on this list too.

haxxxor wins the award for "Worst porn ever made"

frst off : The Rat (the haxor in The Core) kicked major ass "I multi-task like you people breath"... and any hacker that is told to hack the entire planet and only demands caffine and an unlimited supply of Hot-Pockets deserves props.


but worst ever... I'm gonna vote for Lawnmoer Man 2... the SUCK-uel (get it... it's sequel with suck in it because it sucked so bad.... nevermind....)

That movie sucked but you are so true about The Rat (except for the graphics)...running the bulkers over his HD's while the cops were beating down the door...priceless.

For the worst hacking *in* a movie, Independence Day. If it hadn't been for the dogfight sequences the entire movie would have been destroyed by a head on collision with a poorly written plot vehicle. I can't even go into how many things are wrong with it.

Second place wasn't really hacking but it goes to Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible. This "brilliant" spy retypes the same freaking message countless times. I was forced to avert my eyes and groan helplessly into a pillow until the scene was over. Hello, mr. brilliant, have you not heard of copy and paste???

Third place, honorable mention goes to 'The Net' a movie I could not even watch for free because the trailer made me want to gouge my eyes out.

Oh yeah, I liked Rat. He reminded me of people I adore.

Seth Green's character in the Italian Job (remake) was awesome. Too bad the rest of the movie sucked.

Anyone ever see Masterminds that movie with Patrick Stewart as a ex British SAS agent who takes over a school with the worlds Richest Kids. And that kid from Alaska and Indian in the Cupboard who happens to be a Hacker must save the day. -Obviously I have seen it

Sounds a lot like Toy Soilder, minus the uber hacker

How about the hacking scene in Independence Day? I guess TCP/IP is truly universal.

WIRED had an article that was somethin like this, Best Supporting Hackers .

[ou2mame]

I'm surprised nobody said Takedown, or the hacker from gone in sixty seconds... "I can do a lot of shit with computers..." i forget how it goes, but it was corny as shit.

[alklloyd]

I'm surprised no one has mentioned that pos Hackers, for some reason DC attendees love that movie.
