When Demolition Man came out Sandra Bullock was NOT a big star yet, but Sylvester Stallone and Wesley Snipes were. I remember seeing the movie and thinking it was the first time I'd seen her. IMO Demolition Man was a key movie to make Sandra Bullock popular -> not the other way around. That's why they didn't buy her a pinball machine.

Here are ALL the movies she appeared in before Demolition Man:
- Hangmen -- Sandra's acting debut - Rotten Tomatoes (RM) has a 5% liked
- A Fool and His Money - direct-to-video
- Who Shot Patakango - direct-to-video
- Love Potion No. 9 - RM rating: 27%
- The Vanishing - RM rating: 47%
- When the Party's Over - RM rating: 31%
- The Thing Called Love - RM rating 57%

Every single movie she appeared prior to Demo Man has a "Splat" rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

I don't think Brad got a pinball. That's just sloppy reporting by the journalist. If you watch the video, the only thing Sandra said was "all my male co-stars got a game". She did not say who those co-stars were, but the journalist extrapolated "all" to include Brad, who was not that popular at the time of the movie.

After Sylvester and Wesley got their games, Sandra should have been next in line.

But she wasn't a "top-billed star" at the time of the movie - she was up and coming, and Demo Man was the first good/bigger movie she was in.
She does still look great though.
