Dave Bowen's space suit isn't very airtight in a shot of 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968). When he reenters the Discovery spaceship with its atmosphere evacuated, he opens an access hatch to HAL 9000 logic center and climbs over the camera into the chamber wearing his E.V.A. airtight space suit. As his left hand moves past, the glove separates from the sleeve, showing his bare wrist.
And hey, you want to have a little fun? Think about the name of the computer: HAL. Then think about the letter that follows each in the alphabet. Arthur Clarke said it' was just a coincidence.
The letters spell out IBM, for those of you that hate puzzles.
