[edit] Notes on possible edits

This film is loosely based on the Masters of Deception.

• Some of the characters have names from actual MoD members as well as some of the names are bastardizations of others.
• The films Hackers represent the ethnically and gender diverse MoD members
• The script writer also spent time with Mark Abene Phiber Optik of the Masters Of Deception before and while he was writing the script.
• MoD still has copies of the script, although we disown this films farcical look at hacking and it's promotion of rollerblade culture as "cool" in New York City. A fact attributed to the Director's meterosexual bend and the fact that from London he was far removed from what passed as cool in New York City. --Netw1z 10:24, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Guiness record

I remember reading an edition of guinness world records, which stated that the hacker's website was entangled in some legal battles over illegal "hacking" content. or something like that. any insight? 68.222.41.105 08:22, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

I just wasted 10 minutes wandering through web searches & came up empty on Hackers & Guinness. The closest I could find is naming Kevin Mitnick as the "most notorious hacker" (ugh). Also, you MoD boys really need to lighten up. Life goes on, you know?

[edit] Hackers 2??

To my knowlage there is no such film as Hackers 2 looking at IMDb the film Takedown(2000) has the informal title of Hackers 2 but the two films have nothing in common

It was a name added to it in early pirate releases, for some reason (As Hackers 2 or Hackers: Operation Takedown). People just kept on believing that Takedown was a sequel. The movies aren't associated with one another in any way. --Ifrit 05:01, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hack The Planet Redirection

Hack The Planet should NOT redirect to a Movie. "Hack The Planet" is an ideology, not just a quote from a movie. I would be happy to contribute to the Topic, but it should NOT redirect here. --HockeyInJune 21:17, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Schmackground

The entire 'Background' section is nonsense. It doesn't matter if the stupid people who wrote this screenplay insist they based a character on RTM - ask Paul Graham and RTM themselves. This is pure patent nonsense. Obliterate this embarrassingly stupid section. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.213.91.104 (talk • contribs) 16:46, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Quote

I guess it should be noted that a Ozzy quote is stated in the movie. "Of all the things I've lost I miss my mind the most."
