Two of the characters, Phantom Freak and Cereal Killer have hacking pseudonyms which are puns of actual hacking terms. Phantom Freak refers to Phreaking (hacking phone/telecommunications services). Cereal in Cereal Killer refers to serial keys which is a common name for software license keys. See more »

At the beginning of the movie, when Dade calls the Television Station and talks to the Security guard, the guard says a different phone number than the one on the modem. See more »
Well, here it is folks, I think it's been long enough since hackers came out (6 years+), so I am going to offer what I think will be the definitive commentary on the film "Hackers." Simply put, Hackers is the finest movie ever. The music, the costumes, the dialog... if you could put FUN in a box (not to mention Johnny Lee Miller and Angelina Jolie) the box would say "Hackers" on it. If this movie were a president, it would Hackraham Lincoln. If it were a gum, it would be Hackalicious... you get the picture.
Anyhow, the really important thing I have to say is this:
A.) Hackers is NOT a "B-movie"; the budget was large and the actors have major talent; it's a slick production, and it shows.
B.) Contrary to the belief of some cyber-dorks out there (who mainly get their jollies by pretending they know more than other people about computers) it doesn't matter if the computer interface is somewhat unrealistic. Obviously, there are some classic "movie" style computer screens (a la 1995's other horrible computer flick "The Net (of crap)"), but lest I seem like a broken record, I will repeat for the entertainmentally challenged THIS IS A MOVIE!
C.) Are you kidding me? This stuff is great! I can watch this movie forever (and believe me, I have) and NEVER EVER get tired of it. C'mon, this stuff is just classic, listen here to some dialogue:
(spoken with much gusto:) "Yeah, it's got a killer refresh rate."
"Risc is good."
"Never fear, I is here."
IT'S SO CLASSIC IT HURTS!
Bottom line, if you wanna be a nerd, go program something. If you want to be entertained, get this movie, NOW!
