Quoted from OldSchoolBlood:Having a great main character works great for pinball. Makes the immersion so much better for the game having that person doing lead call outs. Dirty Harry is a perfect example. This is why I feel Big Trouble in Little China and Evil Dead would be great pinball themes.
Hell, make a Kurt Russell pin. Jack Burton, Snake Plissken, Captain Ron and RJ MacReady kicking ass.
Hell yes! Big trouble was one of the greatest movie going experiences of my life.
I got Hope's it might be one of spookys next games.

Just remember what ol’ Jack Burton does when the earth quakes, and the poison arrows fall from the sky, and the pillars of Heaven shake. Yeah, Jack Burton just looks that big ol’ storm right square in the eye and he says, “Give me your best shot, pal. I can take it.
That poster has everything but that monster with an eyeball in the mouth.
EDIT: Nevermind, its well hidden on the bottom left side.
Anywho I think Big Trouble in Little China would make an excellent movie theme for a pin. Another flick I can think of which would be a good one to do is Killer Klowns From Outer Space.
Quoted from KongDonkey:Haha I thought I was the only one with a big trouble shrine

Nice collection! Now we need the pin so our collections can be complete 
Haha yeah I know. My collection is a lot bigger now I’ll have to try and find get some pics of some of my more unique big trouble things.
Quoted from TouchingEvil:Spooky pinball make Big trouble in little china pinball NOW! You made one Caroenter movie pin, but now its time to make the big one!
Think about the beautiful art that pinball would have.

I can't think of any themes that wouod give you more to work with than BTLC.
Quoted from ThatOneDude:Anyone ever found a good toy or model of the truck?
semi trucks aren't hard to model up, I did a rough model of the semi-truck from beverly hills cop for that guy doing a homebrew:

FYI if you want to know the exact model of the truck:

Quoted from ThatOneDude:This is about as close as I have found so far. Some new paint and decals should make it look fairly close.

Tell me you are working on a BTILC home-brew!
Quoted from Palmer:Tell me you are working on a BTILC home-brew!
I make it a point not to talk about projects until they have gotten to a playable state, since so much depends on other people coming through with art and whatnot. Let's just say that it's a possibility.

I hope you give it a go. I don't recall anyone ever making a homebrew BTLC.
