20. Calculators
Films released in the 1990s were some of the greatest of all time. They were ahead of their era and developed ways of filming and thinking that were unlike many other movies done before. The original ‘Total Recall’ from 1990, is one of those films. In the movie, they had fancy wrist communicators. If you take a closer look, it turns out they are calculators. We never thought you could use calculators as movie props, but it turns out that you can. The film even won a Special Achievement Academy Award, solely for its visual effects. It’s interesting to see how far one simple item can go (TV Bee).
