Bar Rescue Season 6, Episode 43 "Stix N Stones" bar renamed to "Pit Stop". After all that work CLOSED. (A lot of the rescues unfortunately come too late and they don't take Taffer's advice or they are too deep in debt to get out of it or they are scamming or something).

Many cases it is the owners poor management that is not improved that closes the bar.
Gordon Ramses: Kitchen Nightmares has a failure rate of over 90%. My wife looked it up. Management style refused to change even tho Gorden redid the menus, overhauled the kitchens and dining areas. Conditions go down hill after a few weeks

Coming out this week in theaters The Black Phone (2021). Has a nice Jungle Queen being played, with correct chimes, with camera shots of playfield and cabinet.

Unidentified pin in a movie called Brick Mansions. First thought was BSD or Rescue 911 but not sure

Already identified anyway, but wow, that's a bizarre example of BSD to use. I've never seen red faded all the way to white like that before!

It was the only side picture I could find on IPMD. Still, the cabinet is not the same color.

That's a perfect layout if you enjoy having just a few extra flippers...

Watching the news this morning and our friend smokedog's place, Pokey's Pinball Cafe in Saskatoon was on the screen. They were covering some local politician doing a pitch there. Showed closeups of TAF, AFM, TWD. Smokedogs even in the screen grab.

There's not much to go on, but my best guess is that it's a Gigi (Gottlieb, 1963).

Looks like you're right:

(1949) Thieves' Highway

1946 CC Super Score, flipperless game.

Note, From The Internet Pinball Database.
Operators of this Era would retrofit games with flippers.

Not much to go off of, but there's an EM with custom side art in The Boys Season 3 Episode 7.

Edit - Gulfstream possibly? Lights/reels match.

Reel configuration looks like a 70s Williams, but I flipped through those and didn't find a match. Also looked through Western and Horse themed games (second pic looks like maybe a horse?) but still didn't find it...

The lights/reels match William's Gulfstream. Thanks for helping narrow it down.

Lucky Ace appears to have the same backbox layout, and the cabinet artwork is at least a LITTLE bit closer, but I'm not fully convinced. More at https://www.ipdb.org/machine.cgi?id=1483

I think the score reel location does not match Lucky Ace. There is no room for the extra '100000' digit lamp.

I advise ignoring the cabinet art from the show - it looks like a modern paint job/vinyl decal that's custom to the production.

Lightbulb sockets also don't match the show, while Gulfstream's are one to one match.

Well that would explain why I couldn't find a matching cabinet! Ok let's call it Gulfstream then, per the other posts. Great job team!

Found a lineup of like 11 pins in the movie "Flower" on Hulu.

Easy enough to make out Monopoly, Elvis, RBION and a Stern Playboy. Is that a WCS off to the left? I'll let you guys noodle out what you can of the rest... The scene is just a few minutes into the movie, if you'd like a better look.

I thought there were going to be more after Ms. Deutch's character complained about her mom's boyfriend collecting old pinball machines, but sadly I was mistaken.

Of the four beyond her right shoulder, the middle two of those are AC/DC and Pirates of the Caribbean.

I think It might go Avengers, AC/DC, POTC and Wheel of Fortune (from left to right).

I posted this pic a year or two back of a show called The Politician on Netflix.
Looks like they filmed at the same location

The back glass looks right, but the paint job is somewhat different:

Not a movie, a puzzle. What is the first pin. The other 2 are Hotdoggin and Eight Ball Deluxe.
Thanks

Thanks for the Wagon Train identification.

The cabinet of the first pin on that puzzle sure looks like Flash Gordon, but the apron and playfield don't match at all. What game has a second plunger like that?

#3695 1 year ago

That’s for sure the Flash Gordon cabinet, but these all appear to be mish-mashed nonsense machines. That’s definitely not the Eight Ball Deluxe cabinet
