The Big Lebowski.

Hey, careful man, there's a beverage here!

I watched the Big Lebowski again last night. There's a treasure trove of sound bites and ideas in that movie for making a pin. I could see this being a fan demanded favorite like Tron. I could see a spinning rug in the center of the playfield, "it would really tie the room together." It could stop periodically at: a guy peeing on it, marmot in the tub, head in the toilet, him listening to his cassette player on it, triping over the nailed board by the door, etc. In a fan layout, the shots could include: center shot to a hole behind some dangling bowling pins with bowling sounds; ramp to search for bunny with Viva Las Vegas music; ramp to Jackie Treehorn's beach house; a Vietnam ball lock for triggering something obnoxious from Walter; and maybe a model of his car as a bash toy. Maybe a drop target with a callout of "Shutup Donnie." A hurryup mode for paying the ransom with call outs of him revealing he's not alone and plenty of unanswered phone ringing. Pop bumper action could alternate using call outs from his various ass whoopings: chief of police of malibu, the german gang, Treehorns enforcers, Maude's enforcers, etc. "The Dude Abides" multi-ball and "The Dude" wizard mode or vice versa. Anyway, the ideas are endless.

Not to mention it would be a perfect fit for bowling alleys, it would really pull the room together would it not.
Tilt warning: "Careful man, there's a beverage here."
mini PF = Treehorn's Terrace " I like your style Jackie."
Complete a mode Donny says "I'm rollin' rocks tonight."
Ball kickout "Stay out of Malibu deadbeat."
Nihilist drop target "Anti Semite."
Rollovers, collect the vodka, Kahlua and cream "You make a mean Caucasian Jackie."
Of course some kind of bowling toy in the center and a family mode.

It's like Lenin said...
I am the walrus?
STFU Donny.

The songs are classic for the sound bites.
No way Stern would make this title, maybe JJ?
If it is ever made I am in for a NIB.

Or how about a cheesy B movie Kung Fu Pin, Master of the Flying Guillotine?

"He's ready to blow your mind"

There was a custom TBL made but I can't remember what game was converted for it.

Sometimes there's a pinball... I won't say a great pinball, 'cause, what's a great
pinball? But sometimes, there's a pinball. And I'm talkin' about the TBL
here. Sometimes, there's a pinball, well, it's the pinball for it's time
and place. It fits right in there. And that's TBL pin in Los
Angeles. And even if it is a strange pin - and the BL is most certainly
that. Quite possibly the strangest in Los Angeles County, which would
place it high in the runnin' for strangest worldwide. But sometimes
there's a pin, sometimes, there's a pin... Aw, I lost my train of
thought here. But... aw, hell. I've done introduced it enough.
