I've heard conflicting things about this flyer.

1. The guy on the left is Brad Faris, son of pinball artist Paul Faris. The guy on the right is unknown.

2. The guy on the left is Joe Kaminkow (pinball developer) and the guy on the right is Gary Stern.

It'd be nice to see this settled (with evidence).

Certainly the guy at the right looks like a younger Gary Stern:

Looking at the chin and nose shape, I'd say it's him. The other is definitely not Michael J. Fox:

Sad they didn't use the actual people who play on those movies. I think they should redo the artworks. Make it right .

They couldn't afford to get the real actors. Nor could they just use their images/likenesses without a hefty price as well (I'm sure). Either by means of photo manipulation, or artistic license (and hiring a painter would probably not be worth the price either). All for pinball machine.

I've even thought of them posing some wax sculptures for the pic... But that probably wouldn't work either.


Now, if it were collectible glasses from a fast-food place? They'd be good to go!

I thought this was a Rick and Morty reference... new [Re: Smitdogg]

... because it was originally a spoof of Doc and Marty. It got "cleaned up" for obvious copy-right reasons to Rick and Morty.

Flyers aren't too important, no need for the actors, low circulation. But Christopher Lloyd's likeness and voice ARE used in the game. MJF did not give permission, so art of him is altered enough to make him generic. Worse is the clearly-not-michael voice samples. It's a decent pin but the NotMichael stuff kind of ruins it a little.

Then there's the fake Clint Eastwood voice of Cueball Wizard...

I would have just picked a different subject for my fricking pinball machine if you know in advance it's going to sound like a bad joke.
