But John Wick Chapter 2 is not a period piece. The VIC-20 is not meant to be a modern computer there. As I recall, they have women dressed as 1940s switchboard operators with prominent tattoos using VIC-20 keyboards connected to modern monitors to take orders for assassination of assassins -- tell me again which part of this seems out of place?

They were deliberately using old technology, presumably to avoid being traced by the police. I don't ask that realistic VIC-20 displays be used, I only ask that if they're going to employ this conceit, the displays be plausibly "old" and not have nice graphics.
