Pretty sure this wasn't posted yet.

Was watching a TV show on Animal Planet called Tanked. They ended up going making that thing. They took a trip to the Pinball Hall of Fame in the episode too.
Wonder how the fish are going to like that...
I really enjoyed that episode.

= = = = = = =

In the movie Beer Fest, a bunch of thugs from Germany come into an American pub and smash up a kookoo clock and the playfield glass on an old pinball. Can't find any screenshots or video of the scene at all. I have no idea what the pin is. I'll have to find the DVD and plug it in.

The brothers, Jan and Todd, get a hold of a secret recipe that belongs to the Wolfhausen brewery in Germany. When the Germans come to America to get the recipe back, they wreak havoc on the Schnitzengiggle. What do they destroy? Beerfest


The cuckoo clock and the pinball machine. The cuckoo clock strikes the hour and cuckoos while the Germans are there, and they have no idea what it is, as though cuckoo clocks are not German! On their way out, the Germans tear the cuckoo clock off the wall and stomp on it, and punch in the glass on the pinball machine.

Time - Phrase

01:03:50 Don't think you have seen the last of us.

01:03:59 Oh, I forgot the money.

01:04:05 You should get a pinball machine that works.

01:04:08 That machine works just fine.

01:04:09 Does it?
Dude breaks the glass on the pinball machine.

Also, there was an episode of auction kings where they auctioned a signed Apollo 13 Pinball table. They actually played the tabled and activated the 13-ball multiball. Pretty awesome.

A little different than most of what's in this thread, but one of the New Jersey "Stronger Than the Storm" commercials features a couple of seconds of footage from the Silverball Museum. The embed code doesn't appear to support timestamping, so jump to the 0:15 mark.

There's a 10 second scene in The Verdict with Paul Newman playing a table. I can't tell what table it is. Maybe someone will be familiar with the cabinet's artwork. You can make out a bit of it. Paul Newman actually displays a bit of nudging skill.

I think it's Disco Fever. I can see the travolta wannabe on the backglass.

As if Sandy wasn't bad enough, the poor Silverball Museum was subjected to an earthquake during the filming of this commercial.

Doe it qualify if pinballs are featured in a videogame that's not about pinball? Earthbound has a few pins in the local Arcade:

It appears to be a generic design with "SPACE" on the backglass. You'll probably need to zoom in to see it.

Can anyone identify the pin in this?


Looks like a Superman logo, so I guess it could be Atari's Superman?
