Pinball In The Movies, page 1

"All of a sudden the gauges started lighting up like a pinball machine."

Susan Anton, Cannonball Run II, 1984

The pinball machine has made its appearance in many films around the world. You don't believe me? Well, take a look at the list below, which I will update every time I see a pin in a movie. In the films, don't expect to see close-ups of the pins due to copyright issues. If you are a pro, you can ID the pin by the cabinet or by a corner shot of the backglass.

When I started this site in April, 2001, there were 37 films listed with pins. As of February 28, 2024, there are 202 just on page 1 alone, 608 films listed total....so far.

Be sure to check out my site update page, to see what's been added in the past few months.

So that you may find the scene quicker, I have mentioned the scene and whenever possible, the exact moment the pins are seen.

I've included links for each pin to the Internet Pinball Database, where you can view pics for most of these pins and get the information on them.

If you wish to look up the movie in which the pins appeared, the Internet Movie Database is a great source.

Wanna see more pins in the movies? Try John's Robertson's site of pins his business, John's Jukes rented to Hollywood for movies and television. Also, don't miss the late Russ Jensen's comprehensive article, "The Time Of Your Life...And More!"
