I still recall a guy 2 rows in front of me in the cinema stood up and shouted, somewhat uncontrollable, "YEAH!" when he saw the Trinity (actual) hack in the Matrix reloaded (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2003/05/16/matrix_sequel_has_ha...). LOL.

There was a sort of 'unofficial' 'hackers 2' with Skeet Ulrich playing Kevin ("My kung-fu better than you kung-fu!") Mitnick in Takedown (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0159784/) - the story following the book of the same name by Tsutomu Shimonura. Also, I think they recently screened 'Wargames 2 : the dead code' (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0865957/) over here in the UK. Don't forget Tron! Ah.. just hearing the sounds of the video arcade at the beginning...
