Notes: According to Doug Watson, he had serious difficulty creating the backglass because the movie production team kept rejecting his designs. He eventually discovered that the rejections were coming from Wesley Snipes, who wanted to ensure he did not look like a crazed character on the backglass because he was concerned about his upcoming career in Hollywood. Because of this, the final backglass is much simpler than early designs, and all three characters were given "mathematically equal" backglass coverage, with "handsome" features (according to Watson).

Variations between playfields can be seen in the three round orange inserts near the car crash feature and also in the larger white rectangular insert to the left of them. The game in the flyer shows all four inserts are unlabeled. Other playfields pictured in this listing show the orange inserts are labeled 3, 6, and 10 Million and the white insert is labeled "Retina Scan Ready". One example shows the white insert is labeled while the orange ones are not.

This game was part of Williams/Midway's "SuperPin" line of widebody games.
