In Miss Congeniality (2000), there's an Independence Day and Starship Troopers in the background of a bar, about 14 minutes in.

[quoted image]

I think the one on the right might be Card Whiz (Gottlieb 1976) and the center one looks like a Jacks Open or Lucky Hand (Gottlieb 1977).

ED: Pretty sure the one on the left is a Jumping Jack (Gottlieb 1973).

All look right to me. There's another off to the right that is more visible earlier in the trailer. Not exactly hard to ID the Genie. No idea on what's next to it.

I was able to take my own screen shot, zoom in and lighten the image - you can make out more of the backglass and cabinet art here.
Pretty sure it's Jumping Jacks, Jacks Open/Lucky Hand and Card Whiz.

It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia - Season 12, Episode 4 (first air date: Jan 25, 2017) - At station WCYZ, the dressing room before going live to defend their company, Frank's Fluids, that is selling Wolf Cola to terrorists. Machines only visible in the reflection. One on the left can't make out. This was the best I can get for pictures. Any help on what the bigger one in the reflection is please?
Thanks in advance everybody!

The one on the left (as seen in the mirror) might be a High Speed 2.

Quoted from PinMonk:

Here's the Ozempic commercial with two pins in the background. Can't really tell what pins they were (or if they were faked up overlays) because the background is blurred.[quoted image][quoted image]

You’re telling me I can play pinball AND lose weight???

I just saw the commercial too and I can’t make out the backglasses, but since every other arcade game has a generic overlay too, I bet the backglasses are fakes as well.

2003's "Pact With the Devil" starring Malcolm McDowell. The main dude in the movie has a Getaway pin in his cool pad full of exercise equipment and a jukebox etc. Only watched it for a couple of minutes but the machine was in several shots, maybe he even plays it, I dunno.

** found a better pic of the game when I skipped thru the movie on Freevee to see if the game is in it more. He's a 'pretty boy' type of character and I didn't see him play the game - he just has a photographer chick come over and snap a few shots of him posing with it, oh brother what a fraud. Also it was noted that the date was supposed to be 1990 in the scene, but the game wouldn't be built for another two years.
