During "Metal Tornado", timestamp 12:28 on the following URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQ-knIeSkPc

Looks like an XML parser, perhaps Emacs Lisp? Wonder why they chose that code.

So if you misconfigure Emacs, does it create a magnetic tornado spewing destruction across nearby cities? ;)

It must be the same production crews behind most of these films... they constantly reuse the same sets and props.

To be honest, Emacs XML parsing isn't the funniest from these silly films. The best was an "FAA investigator" finding a GPU circuit board glued to an extractor fan and saying "oh no... it's satellite debris"
