I don't think that's real. CGI like that shouldn't have been available in 1987.

Yes it was. The first CGI in film was Westworld in 1973. Tron came out in 1982. Nearly all special effects from the 1984 film The Last Starfighter was CGI. Star Trek TNG had some CGI like the crystalline entity. Star Trek IV 1986 had CGI renders of the crew's heads. A number of other films as well did that decade. Dire Straits Money for Nothing music video 1985. Flight of the Navigator 1986 had a morphing space ship.

If you want a real trip. Check out Young Sherlock Holmes 1985 Stained Glass Knight. A knight from Stained Glass comes to life and kills a preacher. CGI.

Wow. I wonder what kind of computers they used for that in the 80's. Had to have been something a hell of a lot more powerful than consumer grade computers. That's really damned impressive!
