Pinball that has been featured on TV and in movies

[EldarOfSuburbia]

Mustang ( as pointed out by Dedpop ) With EM sounds obviously! why do modern filmmakers still think they need to add 50 year old pinball sounds to modern machines?
?

Licensing, mostly. Mustang has licensed music, for example.

Not sure if it's been mentioned, but I've been watching Lost again, which features a Cyclone machine in Season 4. Problem is, it returns in Season 5, despite the fact they've travelled back in time to 1974. Oops. An island travelling through time and space with miraculous healing powers and a monster made of smoke I can believe, but a Cyclone machine in 1974 is just too out there for me.

Very good point. As a Stephen King Constant Reader, it is due to SK loving to write much of his stuff related to just that. Time/space. Lost is a tv version. Politics is used too.

Saw Twister today in the studio of the "Weather Underground" program on the Weather Channel. I love the weather.

Spaceballs - Lone Starr has a Space Invaders table in the back of Eagle 5 (his Space Winnebago). Clearly visible in a couple of scenes when he's rescuing Princess Vespa from Spaceball 1's magnetic beam.

Not sure if this one's been mentioned already, but just spotted this in Sons of Anarchy S5:E13

I couldn't tell what machine was being played, but Maggie Q was talking to an informant on the latest episode of Designated Survivor while he played an EM pinball.

She made a comment about growing up and moving from video games to pinball.

The one I posted was actually in the Samcro clubhouse. Interesting that they never showed the pin till the later seasons, unless I missed it.

EDIT: it was actually Season 5, not 6. Fixed the typo in the other post.

Amazed nobody's mentioned Everybody Wants Some yet. Richard Linklater has a thing about putting pinballs in his films. Anyway, there's a scene at a pool hall with a row of pins...

Black Knight
Gorgar
Lost World
Space Invaders
Kiss
Capt. Fantastic

It's so so close to being historically accurate. The film is set on the weekend before the first day of college 1980. I'm not sure if Black Knight would have been on location until a couple of months later. Mind you, I love BK and I loved the film so I'll let it slide. ;-)

I forgot about that one. Great movie too. Not quite as good as Dazed and Confused, but it's up there.

Linklater is a rabid pinball fan. He loooooves Fireball.

Here's the scene in question, including the Space Invaders "gap method" tutorial:

Just noticed a Rio table in Brooklyn Nine-Nine S01 E04 in the last 18 secs. of the episode.

 

[QuickAceItsA2ndChance]

Hey, I need a pinball fan with a good eye to ID a table. It's in the background in a bunch of shots from the new Anne Hathaway movie Colossal. I couldn't quite make out which table it was when I saw it in the theater. But here's a promo video that has a pretty good shot of it at about 2:05 in. Any guesses?

 

[Biff]

Any guesses?

It is Stern's Freefall (1981).

That's it! Thanks!

Great movie, by the way. Odd, but pretty terrific.
