Rabid, starring Marilyn Chambers (yup, that Marilyn Chambers). Some pretty good riding sequences in the opening scenes...but it doesn't end well for the bike ;-(

Been re-watching the CBC comedy series Schitt's Creek on Netflix and one episode (Season 2?) has an previous boyfriend of the family's daughter return from abroad riding up to her while on a Commando. Several clips of the bike while the two re-kindle their relationship.
EDIT: found some captures on line:

Just now watched an episode of American Pickers and they bought a ‘69 Norton 750 for $4500.00. A pretty nice roadster in black with gold. I just turned the TV on and heard the word “Norton”.
 
I was flicking through the TV one day and flicked on the movie channel on was a musical around the 60s the star was an Elvis look alike and he was riding an orange Atlas and his 2 side kicks were riding 1960 Manxman's all blue and orange seats and they were riding over jumps, it was a corny sort of movie and after watching it for a few minutes I turned it over, it was a bit of a silly movie, but the girls looked great in their swing dresses and 60s American style of clothes, but after watching it for such a short time I had enough.
Not sure what the name of the movie was.

The rider in the movie, not the dude flapping his arms about (Chris Hemsworth), is referred to as "Mr. Norton", played by the real world spouse of the Hemsworth.

Check out the start of Despicable Me 3 / "The Rise of Grew" . Belle Bottom is riding an imaginary motorcycle with some obvious cues to a Norton Commando .
Who ever comprised this obviously new little of motorcycles ( esp with clutch & throttle both on right side...hahah) , but its is fun to pick out the bits and pieces.
Plus not many other bike of the period could ever handle this good ...Haha. Also love the Harley engine with 4 exhausts....
Cheers
