Kicking and screaming with Will F. and Robert Duvall has pin in first ten minutes when they are downstairs in pool dart room. Quick glance over it looks like a hockey player but has a spade and heart on cabinet.

There's a particular second-season episode of Star Trek TOS called "A Piece of the Action" where Kirk and co. are being held captive in the storeroom on a planet run by gangsters and they have a variety of pinball machines in there in various states of disrepair... but I have no idea which pins they are. Most of them seem to be identical save for one. Here's a couple screencaps:

ST TOS Pinball Screencap 01.pngST TOS Pinball Screencap 01.png
ST TOS Pinball Screencap 02.pngST TOS Pinball Screencap 02.png

Anyone have any idea which pins these are?

Just watched the movie The Purge. Not the best movie and don't understand the hype, etc. but during one scene in game room with pool table Ethan Hawk smashes the glass on a pin. Appears to have yellow stars on the side cabinet and a rocket or spaceship on the back glass. Anyone know the pin?

Saw a single player EM during Sons of Anarchy Season 7. Episode 6. It was on and lit, but never in focus in any of the shots, so hard to ID.

I understand but don't understand why the games names have to be blacked out just like the beer in movies or shows. Can't show the name unless they pay for it, right

The First one appears to be an altered Stern Galaxy. The vortex and the title on the back glass are changed, but the planet and the two comets on the lower left are the same.
On the side of the cabinet where a red and yellow banner with the name Galaxy followed by a line of stars has been replaced by that yellow banner with blue stars.

Yup. Ok well glad to know they didn't mess these up for only one use at least. I guess they keep them in a props department or something.

I saw 2 pins in movies this weekend.
There's one in the early scenes of Dodgeball at the Average Joes' gym Cyclone?
I also spotted an EM at the front of Bubbles' garage when I was watching Swearnet.

This is one stupid movie but in the back there is a pin conversion maybe on back glass and cabinet. Hard to believe they went through the trouble to make it. Movie is Idiocracy came out in 2006. It is suppose to be whoever is the President in the movie, Mach gold or whatever, man this movie sucks but here is picture. Maybe I could use some of those beer bottles above pin in my collection.

Fireball and possibly a Meteor and a Lost World in an episode of Mr. Belvedere.

Mr. Belvedere gets addicted to the Silver Ball.
