I don’t think I saw this film since the 80s, but a friend tipped me off that there was a pinballspotting, so I took that as an excuse to re-watch it.
De Niro’s character visits his old friend in his bar where there are a couple of pinball machines in a corner...
Once again we have pinball anachronism, since the machines are from 1975, but the scene is set in 1968. On the left is a Star-Flite (Sonic, 1975), and on the right is a Tiger (Gottlieb, 1975)...
Star-Flite was a Spanish company’s version of the 2-player Super-Flite and the 4-player Strato-Flite (both by Williams, 1974). Also, Astro-Flite was another 1-player version by Segasa, which was a different name for Sonic. They all have variations in the backglass artwork as to where the title is placed, but have the same distinctive delta-wing aircraft and cloud formation.
