user4143: I was watching a rather cheesy disaster movie this evening (a terrible film - Collision Earth - very formulaic, I could write the script blindfold) and spotted an Arduino (well, some red Arduino Uno clone, probably R2 looking at the location of the reset button) in one of the props.  It forms, supposedly, part of the communication system of a space ship...

Does anyone else know of any instances of an Arduino or an Arduino Clone being used as a prop in a movie?

Oh, and while kind of on the subject, I recognise this PCB from somewhere. It's from the same film, but I know the PCB. They're normally in a rack of loads of them (in the film they are, too, but backwards). I swear I've seen it before somewhere from some teardown maybe.  Anyone have any hints?


user4143: Not an Arduino, but quite humorous anyway...
This is from Christmas Icetastrophe, another really bad disaster flick (yes, I am a fan of really really bad movies - they are so hilarious). 
This is supposed to be a "detector" that can "find a hot meteorite" that landed on earth.  

Except it's plainly the board out of a router. A cable variant of whatever router, since the DSL interface isn't populated.  The closest I have come to it is that it's a D-Link router.  A Mediatek MIPS chip in the middle, with a DRAM chip below it, and the WiFi interface under the shield.
Oh, and a few LEDs stuck through a bit of plastic wired to the battery pack in the bottom left.
Hilarious!
