So that part at the start where they showed it working after at least the first drop (the screen cover was no longer on the GameBoy)... I guess you didn't watch that part? Because it was clearly a working GameBoy, at least before they crowbar'd it.
Check again. I can't be sure but it looks like the screen was showing a mess of pixels scrolling down as opposed to the word "Nintendo" that it normally shows. The system still made the noise, but perhaps it didn't actually run any software (although I certainly hope that if that was the case that they blew on the cartridges they tested beforehand).
Alternatively, they could have shown a working gameboy and then dropped another non-working one. Thats the wonder of movie magic!
