Quoted from Grayman_EM:Think in Russian. I have seen the movie I think 1983?
1982 but close enough. And yes, one of the reasons Gant (Eastwood) was chosen to steal the MIG 35 was because he knew Russian well enough to think in Russian even though he did have some deep psychological issues that could compromise the mission.
How about 'The Tonight Show.'
You have different modes for each host, along with a guest host mode. Instead of getting to Wizard Mode, you'd get to Karnac Mode. Seems like there would be plenty of material to make the game interesting.
Quoted from TigerLaw:Highlander
Matrix
The Fifth Element
Predator
I think these titles could be killer and hold their own in today's market.
Perhaps we call them THE Pinball BIG 4
All Classics
Not to late for any of these gems !
One can only hope.
Now that I have Maiden, this one moves to the top of my wishlist.
Firefly. Sure it only had 1 season and 1 movie, but what an awesome show. So many different things could be done with rules and callouts would be humorous and perfect for pinball.
Doubt it ever happens, but there is a large following of fans still.
Quoted from Theo_Ioannis:It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World
The Big W jackpot shot!
Mega Man, but like a modern music pin. 8 starting modes, each with a different song/boss/ruleset. Finishing each mode gives you an advantage in one other.
Not too late I guess, but would have been nice to see Capcom do it themselves. Same applies to Sega and Sonic, ignoring tabletops and Spinball.
Quoted from PinPilot:I believe I may have the one that could actually get built - Rod Serling's "THE NIGHT GALLERY"
» YouTube video
I said this before too just maybe
enter the dragon
kickboxer
Twilight
the purge (its not to late, lets do it!!!!)
Jaws
any random rock group from the 70's, 80's or 90's
Eminem
Kid Rock
linken park
RUN DMC
LL COOL J
EPMD
Eric B & Rakim
Public Enemy
NWA
UTFO
Fat Boys
Ice T
(basically any GOOD multi hit old school hip hop group)
Reno 911 (the series, not the movie) So many recurring jokes that I think would fit great in a pinball game
Quoted from Wolfmarsh:Bill & Ted's is on my short list of themes
Well, maybe now there's a chance... https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1086064/
Excellent!!
Just saw raw thrills will be bringing us a halo arcade machine.
Maybe it’s not to late for a pinball after all.
Plasma sword ramp that glows....
needs to be a good multiplayer game.
Rocket launcher mech.
Warthog special edition
Base the art on zanzibar love that map
Call outs like runnning riot
Flood multiball
This is probably worthy of its own thread. I am sure you guys will have ideas
Monks singing the theme song...
Halo 6 is coming. Along with them updating master chief collection
Non licensed general theme pins like they made in the 60's and early 70's.
If we are talking licensed themes - too late - Saturday Night Fever, Bee Gees - way too late. LOL
Many others and many already mentioned.
If they would have made Men In Black, that would be one I think would still sell / trade today.
Back to the Future if it would have been done a little better and with a game corresponding to each movie would make a neat little collection.
The Lawrence Welk Show pin - this might even be close too being too old, too late now even in Nursing Homes.
When the game was over it would play the Good Night song they did at the end of the show.
Old, but timeless, what about:
The Little Rascals
Abbot and Castello
Laurel and Hardy
Horror theme :
Poltergeist
Phantasm

Gotta have a bubble machine!
Realistically, I wish Williams had released an Escape from LA pinball in 1996 since they had pins for films like Johnny Mnemonic and Congo the previous year.
Quoted from PNorth:Army of Darkness... think of the call outs!!!
"Alright you primitive screw-heads ... see this? This, is my BOOM-STICK!"

The Little Rascals-are we talking about the old gang (silent era, yes there are silent) or the newer one of the 40's. I think they are all dead so no one would mind.
Laurel and Hardy-they are on a few of the backglasses already.
Poltergeist- the remake was horrible.
Based on some of the themes coming out of Stern. It's never too late. Heck, Wizard of Oz was what? 70 years late?
Laurel and Hardy had two games with Flicker and Prospector but sadly Abbot and Costello, the Marx Brothers, The Three Stooges don't have any. Such a waste of some iconic characters.
Quoted from Frippertron:Laurel and Hardy had two games with Flicker and Prospector but sadly Abbot and Costello, the Marx Brothers, The Three Stooges don't have any. Such a waste of some iconic characters.
The real sad story is how Columbia Pictures made millions on the 3 Stooges and paid them badly. Also read how the murder of the 3 Stooges manager is tied into James Bond's author Albert Broccoli. Yes I am not making this up he was one of three gentlemen who may have murdered their manager.
Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law
Would be freakin hilarious with callout material from the show. Not sure how licensing would be with so many classic cartoon characters involved.
Quoted from Frippertron:Laurel and Hardy had two games with Flicker and Prospector
Also CC Hollywood.
A "Tippecanoe And Tyler Too" pin to celebrate the U.S. presidential election campaign of 1840. Nobody really cares that much anymore.
Great thread. This has kind of turned into a most wanted though as a lot of these are still viable. Sticking with the "its too late" thing though...
Braveheart. Movie "was" a HOT license for a good while. It was pre-wacked-out Gibson and the battles and art could have been awesome.
Cheers. One of my favorite shows growing up. Modes could be all over the place. Call outs a plenty. Pool could be incorporated. Norms tab. Sigh. What might have been.
V The show. I'm dating myself here. This was MUST watch TV when it was on. Those iconic shuttle toys everywhere and lizard aliens morphing from humans. I would have jumped on that one.
Battlezone. Based on the vector 3d video game title. Think original Tron with simpler more kitschy early 80's graphics (if thats possible). Shots could be at tanks that light when needed. Video mode could have been incredible.
