[edit] Burnaby Mountain Secondary and Entertainment
The school plays itself in a fictional "Burnaby, Washington" in the 2006 film The Invisible, starring British Columbia native Justin Chatwin. The film was shot near the school cafeteria, in the hallways and in the gym.[1] The school banner used in the movie was donated to Burnaby Mountain Secondary School.
A student (David Leighton) was a double for Craig Bierko in the film Scary Movie 4 during the Oprah-Cruise parody when Bierko's character does backflips.[2]
Video game developer, Rockstar Vancouver, possibly took a facial model of a student (John Appleby) for a character named Gary, a sociopath who is an antagonist of the hit game, Bully.
[edit] World record
The school attempted to break a Guinness world record for the longest basketball game, which lasted 32 hours. It was set up by Ms. Glube. The game was held in 2005 then the tape was sent to United Kingdom. The record was officially recognized in March 2006, after some problems with the video of the event; the tape wasn't constant due to a need to change tapes, but has now been officially recognized.
