Default Triforce's In Films

I have recently watched a number of films and have noticed several times things that I can relate to computer games. Not directly but in a kind of hidden sub context. Note that I said 'Things I Can Relate To' this does not mean that they actually truly relate to that game in real life

So this thread is to do with things you see in films that are from games... or whatever.

My examples are Triforces. There are several in Star trek, on Vulcan robes but my screenshot is one you may not have spotted or acknowledged. It is from Star Trek 2: The Wrath Of Khan.

The other is from The Evil Dead 2: Dead By Dawn when they are discussing the 'hero from the sky' a hint to the next film The Evil Dead 3: Army Of Darkness.

I have spotted a Triforce in a Bond movie before, I forget which one. It was on a pair of Ski's.

For the sake of this thread I am only going by visual things. You may be able to expand upon this. See what you can find and post it. Btw it does not have to be a Triforce

I double checked to make sure, and in fact Wrath of Khan came out in 82 which is years before the NES was even out which means can't be a reference to Zelda.

From what I've read years ago, the triforce is a very common symbol in the East.

As I saw these and each time I thought, hey that's a Triforce. At least thats what I relate it to, the fact is it is an unrelated symbol I know. It's just that when I see that symbol I think Triforce. So thats what I was after.

Teuthida I like the pictures but are they from films????

I just wanted people to post things they see in films that remind them of computer games. You could even post something as easy to spot as someone playing a gameboy in a film.
