He has heaps of pinballs. Wherever they walk in the show, you are always seeing one in the background.

This was pointed out "TV's Greatest Movie Mistakes", a show that they run on the BBC when they don't have much else to run.
But in the bowling scene in Men in Black 3, there are some old pins in the corner of the screen when Will Smith bowls with the guy's head
The mistake was that pins were illegal when the movie was set. Doh!

Not sure if I understand this post. I posted the clip. As I was watching it live on TV I wasn't able to take a hi-res photo and didn't much see the point of looking it up on Youtube and then taking a screenshot from there, considering it's just a two minute clip.

KICK ASS 2
havent seen the movie this is from a trailer but its on my list so there may be better pics coming soon.
THE WOLVERINE
good movie if you watch it from a live action comic book stance.

Time to add my two cents....or two movies in this case. There were a bunch of pins one scene in Jackie Chan's "Rumble In the Bronx"-specifically the scene where he faces off with a gang leader in their clubhouse (one of them was Bally's Strikes and Spares) and you CAN'T forget "Spaceballs" which had a Bally Night Rider EM featured in the space truck stop and a deactivated Space Invaders pin onboard the space camper Eagle 1 (look close or you'll miss it in the dark!). NOTE-both "Spaceball" pins featured artwork by the great pinball artist Paul Faris (Playboy, Xenon, Centaur)

Would fictional, made-up tables count?
I can think of at least two anime productions where pinball has slipped in, both of them made up: There is a saloon fight scene in Trigun: Badlands Rumble with an EM-style machine up against the wall. At once point, one of the characters climbs onto the machine, and another character shoves him off, dislodging the machine but not knocking it over.
In the recent series Space Dandy, the titular main character has a playfield wooden board framed on a wall aboard his spaceship. I didn't even recognize it as a pinball palyfield until last night's episode, where I saw the distinctive slingshots-and-flipper-return-lanes layout on its bottom third. It may be based on a real one. I don't know. I'll try to take a screenshot if it ever shows up again, but Space Dandy only shows once per week.

I noticed no one mentioned Firstborn (1984). In it Peter Weller has a Gold Ball machine. He plays it, does some blow off of it, and then beats up a tiny Corey Haim. Weller gives one of the best performances I've ever seen, and most people don't even know this film exists.
It is said that during this film Haim went to talk to Weller to compliment his acting. A method acting Weller, still in character, pinned Haim to a wall, choked him, and nearly beat him for real. I highly recommend this movie.
