Hello everybody!
I´m doing research for a project for film school. Therefore I´m loocking for films in which RPS is used as way of decission making. I´m especially interested in classic movies where a conflict is solved with RPS. It doesnt have to be a full movie about RPS. Actually any tip is more than welcome.

It would be great if you guys could help me! Thank you very much!

The below thread is a start, but appearance of RPS in classic film is pretty scarce.  Sift through the below, and if it doesn't suit your needs, give a shout.

Not a movie but I believe episode 27 of Dragonball has a Janken scene where RPS is used as a fighting style.

A movie version of the anime series Kaiji is out now, also called Kaiji. It was available as one of Singapore Airlines' movies on a flight I was on recently. Long-haul RPS players, keep an eye out for it!

Oh man, Martin, I saw the Kaiji series. That is the most intense bout of RPS short of the '58 World Championships. It makes Street RPS look like a child's game. There is a fixed number of cards representing R, P or S in circulation and the totals are publically posted. It is a winner take all game where the winner gets enough money to pay off their seriously high debts to organized crime.
