Out of all the ridiculousness in the movie Hackers, the most absurd is that people in Japan keep torii gates inside their house.

@ryenI wonder where the set designers even picked it up. Was it just something sitting around on the studio lot or did they seek it out?

@nobody Who knows.I'll admit, it does look pretty cool and gets the point across of "oh hackers from all over the world are helping out." But the closest thing I've seen to a torii gate in a house is a clothing rack that kinda looks like one.

@ryen @thegibson They missed a trick not giving the Italians a little Colosseum, and the French a tiny living-room Eiffel Tower, and having Dave Stewart surrounded by little Stonehenges.

@ryen For all its oversimplifications and cheap-comic-book-grade ridiculousness, it's still a hard movie to dislike. For an outsider. it is a glimpse into the hacker culture, and for the insider? it is a rare case when hackers are portrayed as heroes, and not just criminals.
