So how easy was it to just fake checks back in the day?

That cheque wasn't faked, it was just blank.

Faking the check is the most realistic part of that movie.

Getting a rollercoaster built into your home would've cost way more than a million.

/ss/ approved

In reality it would've cost him at least a decade in federal pound me in the was prison. Feds take check frauds seriously

this movie unironically made me want to commit fraud when I was a kid

imagine if you had a blank check....

I used to love watching this movie as a kid when it played on TV but it's clearly, in retrospect, the fantasy of an adult, some of the things the kid does or shows interest in are things no one that age would ever give a crap about, but a middle-aged man from the suburbs would

I don't think most adults would like the roller coaster castle or the Limo full of Fancy cakes and fast food

The feds wouldn't throw the book at a 10 year old though, even in real life. He'd probably be made to write a bunch of apology letters.

hellO Mr...AnDERson. How are YOU doing toDAY?
No one would have fallen for this shit.

>cheque

This bitch gave me my first chub
Now looking at her I don't understand why

>Getting a rollercoaster built into your home would've cost way more than a million.

zoomer please leave

one million was basically a billion when this movie was made

Say that to the kids that hacked some government database at a young age in the 90's for shits and giggles and then they swatted their house. Either they hired them or sent them away for hard time if they weren't useful.

watch Catch Me If You Can

it was trivial to fake checks up until the time they became obsolete

She looks like Ruby Rose

Are you sure you're not just referencing the movie Hackers?

Pretty big difference between fraudulently cashing checks and hacking government servers.

Scorpion?

JUICE

It was the fountain scene

My point was in addressing this
>The feds wouldn't throw the book at a 10 year old though, even in real life.

>Yo Ace

Go watch Catch Me If You Can.
You'll enjoy a fantastic piece of film and have your answer.

I would never reference that shit movie. These things have happened in real life you know.

I know you, C Bear.

They wouldn't for check fraud that didn't affect them.

Helped bring us based Save the Cat, whipped movies into line, got them all based with good structure and shit.

It wasn't fraud, and no they wouldn't. He would get some probation time.
I had a friend who basically lived off committing check fraud for about a year. Got caught forging checks, had stolen ids and was selling stolen product online and he got lime 4 years probation.
Free Kevin

super fucking easy but the internet exposed all the tricks so within a decade it was dead

you should really watch star vs the forces of evil its a really good show

Why was Tone Loc in so many 90s movies?

>Tone Loc
What in God's name?!

Did OG Loc get his name from this nigga?!

He had a cool voice.
That's all the reason I'd need.

He had 2 hits and was famous for a little while.

He was huge back in the day

Just as easy today or so I thought.

They could send him to juve. Another option is house arrest and being banned from using certain electronics

Actually now that I try to remember the story beats, what were his brothers going to do with the computers and why was the Dad such a bitch about not giving him money since apparently he can afford two fresh computer systems

>cheque

Didn't his dad stole a computer from his office since they "upgrade" it?

>juvie
>house arrest
In theory, they could, but would they? It's a white collar crime and the kid isn't even a teenager yet. At that age most judges would probably think the kid lacked mens rea or understanding the gravity of their actions or whatever.

Same. Man did 5-year-old me have shit taste.

>buys a mansion and fills it with literal toys
>this is the fantasy of an adult
Are you retarded?

Not very. Even in the context of the movie it was a small miracle that he was able to pull it off. He just so happened to be cashing a check from an account that was already set to launder the exact amount of money he was requesting, facilitated by a banker that was in on the whole thing who was expecting an anonymous person that was so peculiar that he would automatically “know when he saw him.” If a small child (or anyone else for that matter) walked into a bank and asked to cash a million dollar check, it would immediately send up red flags and trigger some sort of security protocol, which it literally did in the movie.

Did all the bills had FBI printed on them? or was it just the blacklight effect?

>the kid got to kiss her on the mouth
>they probably had to do multiple takes
>they probably made out behind the scenes while "practising"
>they probably fucked to get more into character
Lucky bastard

Not that long ago identity theft was basically effortless. If you just showed up to a bank and said you were X they’d probably have believed you in 1996. Or at least have a faked driver’s license.

the same kid probably also got molested in his trailer by a big fat jew producer manthing

you know, kids and hollywood, only one thing is certain

The boy was insanely hot.

Jesus christ, learn to speak english

NIGGA YOU NEED JESUS

A check is just a promissory note to pay a certain amount. If I go "yeah nah that check was blank but not meant for that little shit", he's in trouble. Been a while since I've seen the movie, but I doubt it makes sense even in some handwave way.

Looks like it

Fuck You

They use a misunderstanding to get the banker to hand him the cash. It's really, really dumb but the kid was in the right place at the right time.

he ran over the kids bike and gave him the check. he left it blank because he didn't know how much bikes cost

Still using checks? LMAO who does that?

It's comfy filling one out and sending it in the mail

So would having John Candy drive you around in a limo to buy a coffin of icecream.

>John Candy
Good thing he wasn't in the movie

Germans especially older people do that there.

Wasn't he, user? Wasn't he?

more like 1.7 mil

you're a fucking pleb if you think Hackers is a shit movie

I always thought it was Louie Anderson.

Chequed and kequed

Imagine being able to roll out of bed, throw on some shorts, and just hop into a water slide built into your bedroom wall and take an express route down to your pool. Do any rich people actually have cool shit like that in their homes? Those mansion pictures mostly look like their houses are just big boring pieces of shit.

Did this kid star in any other movie?

I dont know, maybe cheque his IMDB page?

Word. One of the best soundtracks from a 90's movie.

Imagine all the wasps and spiders that would crawl up to your room.
Fucking hell
