I've had a few in mind:

The Last Starfighter (started but not finished)
Beastmaster
A table based on Tarot

That would be a monumental feat if you were going to incorporate video into the table (if this one ever got created)! biggrin.gif

I could have been smart, but I never learned anything by being smart!

Absolutely, I was thinking of this show the other day, love The Addams Family but this would be a good one too.

The last star fighter, another great choice. Love dragon's lair also, not sure how it would translate to a pin but I'm sure someone could do a good one.
I know someone had that custom Bill Paxton, if I was gonna do a pin based on a person it would probably be Clint Eastwood, that name just sounds like a pinball machine, "So whats your high score on Clint Eastwood?"
Could have a lot of famous clips and lines from his movies. I think that Dukes of Hazard could be a good table if made very fast. You guys have some good choices.
Maybe some makers can take some notes and make one or two of these?

Wish I could make a pin, I envy you guys.

I'd like to see an R-Type pinball game. That would be awesome. Or, as I mentioned once before, HEAVY BARREL!!! Intense game, even more intense as a pin.

The Three Stooges, like Bob's original VP table, it's a classic. smile.gif

or

JAWS, The table would have to have boat/shark model toys. blink.gif
Friday the 13th, with a head model and it would have to be a killer table like Freddy. Jason does not talk though he just kills heh.
Pink Floyd The Wall, This table would need to be a complex table like Tommy IMO.
Grand Theft Auto, This table would be based on the Vice City artwork and music . wink.gif
SpaceBalls, with all the cussing quotes like SouthPark. tongue.gif
Red Dwarf, This table would be just for laughs mostly and would need lots of toys and modes. rofl.gif

One question.

Who would design all these tables in the real world anyway?

It's a good thing we have VP/FP to build tables on. wink.gif

You read my mind! Coincidentally, I have been trying to think up a good layout for a Tron table myself. I'm suffering from a lack of imagination, though smile.gif

Big Trouble in Little China:

You have the 3 storms to fight maybe as bumpers
LoPan makes a good drop target
The list of Chinese hells makes for good modes to start like BO's different alert modes
Lords of Death or Wing Kong spot targets
Lots of good one liners from Jack Button and others for sound effects
Eg Shen vs. Lopan magic fight for a wizard mode

The Neverhood:

Clay themed artwork would be cool like in W&G
'burp tree' ramp to go around like Moe's from TSPP
'radio' with cool short songs to try to change as a toy with the dish moving could be behind a target bank like AFM
'gun' could be fired like MM catapult
'robot bil' drop targets
Could add elements from Skullmonkeys if more stuff is needed or to get to kill off Klogg in the wizard mode

Dragon Warrior:

mini-playfield with flippers to fight monsters (hologram would be cool)
modes for different weapons and armor
more powerful weapons would kill monsters in less hits
better armor would give longer ball save on the mini-playfield
rainbow bridge(ramp) to Dragonlord and wizard mode on another mini-playfield that was unavailable before
Points would be experience, bonus would be gold on ball drain on main playfield you loose half of your gold(bonus)
bonus is only collected at game end(after losing half for the last drained ball) or when the dragonlord is defeated for full bonus


Arnold Schwarzenegger:
Just like the Bill Paxton table.

How about Don Bluths Dragons Lair with the dot matrix display letting you play through random rooms from the game(similar to the video mode from Star Trek TNG), controlling your choices (left, right) with the flippers and sword with the start button.

well, I have a lot I can think of, but probably more than any other I think Bill and Ted's Excellent Pinball Adventure would be my choice.

Holy crap, Jaws is my most favorite movie ever, and I would've never thought a Jaws pin.

Jaws would pop out of the playfield and eat the balls to lock them. You have to hit a moving scuba tank target to release multiball. The wizard mode would be called Feeding Frenzy.

Jaws would've made a killer pin. Stern designers take notes... wink.gif
