The Big Lebowski Pinball Machine is Made for Die Hard Fans

Officially licensed, it boasts three playfields, authentic, licensed images and audio clips as well as a replica Brunswick bowling alley in the subplay field. Built out of industry-standard Bally Williams parts, people will be able to relive their favorite parts of the film in a more interactive way.
