Would like to see a pinball based on the Scarface theme
« on: November 12, 2010, 11:05:17 PM »
I was just thinking about some of the weird themed pinballs out there and was wondering how cool it would be to have a pinball based on the Scarface movie or even the Godfather!! I wonder what I would have to do to get Stern to work on it :)

"Say hello to my little friend".  Yeh. Alpacino Scarface would have been a good title, but I guess the powers to be didnt want to promote big bags of cocaine, machine guns and mad bastards on a pinball machine.

What about Mad Max in its day. Would have been great in Australia.

I wonder jus how much $$$ it would take to get STERN to produce a title for the Aussie Market. I wonder what the financial break even point (machine numbers) it would be to get a title made that alot of Aussies would be interested in purchasing. Got to be alot more interesting that King Pin to get the orders thru the gate.  !@#

I'll put my hand up and say I've never seen the movie - but I like the title..

Stern would never entertain the idea of an Aussie themed Pinball unless it involved AC / DC or Mad Max (now that would have been an awesome title)

I can not believe you have not seen Scarface!! I will forgive you just this once. Mad Max would have been great, AC/DC would probably be a little more universal for them I would imagine. Hell while we are on the subject, they could belt out a Crocodile hunter pin

Stern have already made Sopranos.

Both of the above have a gangster theme

Found scarface boring last time i watched it... has dated quite a bit.
Personally, i always thought Clockwork Orange would have made a good pin

I just think you could get a lot of great quotes and and good looking playfield from Scarface.
That Kingpin machines cool. I have been meaning to check out the Sopranos machine, it does look like a fun game
