French movie MADO from 1976 with SPIRIT OF 76 in a parisian bistro and a short glimpse at an older machine in a fast camera-movement.
Actors Ottavia Piccolo and Charles Denner.

This past CBS Sunday Morning had a piece about a remote movie club between seniors and millenials during Covid sheltering. But more importantly, the featured senior home also has pinball! It's Lake Parke Senior Living in Missouri.

Found a nice shot of a Full House (1966) while watching a so bad it's good B movie from the same year, Curse of the Swamp Creature.
Edit- After watching the entire movie, it's terrible. The monster doesn't show up until the last 5 minutes. Only watch it if it's being riffed. You have been warned.

The Fugitive S3E10 (Landscape with Running Figures: Part 2)

The Chicago Coin Match Bowler from S01E03 shows up again. And there's a Williams Nags pin (1960) with a nice closeup.

It was almost 3:00 AM, and both Mannix and myself were winding down. He had already helped the kid that lost his stamp book and took out the bad guys and they passed the arcade.

But it was something else that caught my weary eyes. It took a few rewinds to believe what I saw.

Hey
I know those guys
Don't bogart that joint fellas.

Quoted from pinwiztom:

That's exactly what the first dude was doing. I'm guessing you've seen this show before. It does make for great late night/early morning entertainment because I was too young to watch it when it first aired.

#2215 4 years ago

I think they were both partaking.
First guy (with medium length hair) in 2nd photo and long hair guy in last photo.

But exactly where was the beach boardwalk?
Bay area or LA or Orange county?

#2216 4 years ago

The first dude hit it several times then handed to to the other dude.

I'm thinking that may have been the Pike in Long Beach where they have done several episodes. Earlier when he passed the arcade there was a glimpse of what might have been an old pitch and bat.

Correction - Playland arcade still exists on the Santa Monica Pier. I played a Getaway there right before I started buying machines.

And Mannix likes to race around in the most badass cars.

Quoted from singlebanana:

Also a Bally Rolling Stone in that arcade. Third machine, but can't ID it. Maybe someone else can (starts around 1:20) -

Yep Flight 2000

Another schlock horror movie The Driller Killer (1979)
We see a Take Five (1978). Don't see a lot of cocktail pins in movies. While I was looking at a shot of the actors playing, I noticed a Night Rider (1976) to the side of them.

It's another bad one, but it has that great late 70's NYC look to it.

My wife was watching a presumably low-budget movie on Amazon Prime called “Legal Action” and I just happened to walk through at the right time to hear some pinball sounds and catch a glimpse of a game. “I think that’s a Maverick”. She gives me the eye roll, but rewinds it anyway. Sure enough, there’s a close-up of the playfield around the flippers and later the wire ramps and a couple of wide shots. The side of the game is painted “County/Line”, the translite is removed showing bare bulbs, and the DMD is placed face-down over the playfield in maintenance pose even as the actor plays! They went through all that trouble/visual mess to obfuscate the copyright game/movie name, but use real sounds from the game (I guess they fear Warner Bros. and Mel Gibson more than Gary Stern). Time starts ~45:25.

Thanks. I was having a hard time figuring out the show since Las Vegas is used in a lot of show names!

Saw a commercial for a new show on A&E called "What's it worth?" Hosted by Jeff Foxworthy.

During the teaser clip three pins were shown.

Looks like a count down on the far left. Not sure about the one in the middle and right. Anybody?
