Although the movie performed poorly at the box office, the pin is highly praised by admirers, who laud its action-packed gameplay, diverse ruleset, and rich audio-visual package. Players who look past its license and [[HateDumb Data East heritage]] have often called it one of the most overlooked and feature-loaded games of TheNineties. The most frequent complaint against the game is for its translite, with an unimaginative montage of characters surrounding Creator/ArnoldSchwarzenegger's oversized head.

!!The ''Last Action Hero'' pinball game demonstrates the following tropes:

* {{Angrish}}: Lt. Dekker, who roars unintelligibly whenever his spinner is hit.
* AscendedExtra: Done with the crane, of all things. While it's a one-scene prop in the movie, it's the most prominent toy in the game, gets used in multiple modes, and is even featured on the sides of the cabinet and backbox.
* AxCrazy: Ripper threatens Danny with a fireman's axe.
* {{Combo}}: Several, though the most lucrative is two consecutive ramp shots followed by a shot to the center scoop, which rewards the "Second Cousin Frank's" ProgressiveJackpot.
* DaChief: Lt. Dekker.
* DeathGlare: Creator/ArnoldSchwarzenegger has one on the translite.
* GameMod: Replacement translites (based on the movie poster) are readily available for owners who don't want to be assaulted by Schwarzenegger's DeathGlare.
* GlassEye: There is a bank of target for three of Benedict's novelty glass eyes. Hitting all three awards the Benedict Bonus Boost, and they're the focus of the "Red Eye" mode.
-->'''Slater:''' "Got to catch the red eye."
* TheGrimReaper: Drain a launched ball too quickly, and the Reaper shows up to feed you another chance with a [[{{Pun}} "Death Save".]]
* HandCannon: Slater takes aim with his Desert Eagle on the playfield, while Benedict has his Dan Wesson on the backglass.
* HellishCopter: The beginning of each ball features a helicopter firing on a skyscraper; making the SkillShot will cause Jack Slater to shoot it and make it explode.
* MatchSequence: Playing ''Hamlet,'' Jack Slater throws Claudius through a stained-glass window. The match number appears in the hole.
-->'''Slater:''' "To be or not to be?"\\
'''Narrator:''' "Hamlet is taking out the trash."\\
'''Slater:''' "Not to be."
* PaintingTheMedium: The ball launcher is the pistol grip for Slater's [[HandCannon Desert Eagle.]]
* ProgressiveJackpot: "Second Cousin Frank's," which is awarded by making a {{Combo}} of two consecutive ramp shots followed by the center scoop.
* RatedMForManly: Freed from the movie's IndecisiveParody, HiddenDepths, and IndecisiveDeconstruction, the ''Last Action Hero'' pinball indulges itself in a nonstop barrage of explosions, gunfire, and action.
* RealSongThemeTune: The game plays "Big Gun" by [[Music/{{ACDC}} AC/DC,]] "Angry Again" by Music/{{Megadeth}}, and "Real World" by Music/{{Queensryche}}.
* RogerRabbitEffect: On the backglass, Whiskers the cartoon cat hangs out with the rest of the human cast.
* SkillShot: Launch the ball to hit the moving C-R-A-N-E light and make the [[HellishCopter helicopter explode.]]
* SmartBomb: The "Smart Missile," which is fired by pressing a button above the launcher pistol grip. Firing it awards whatever is currently lit on the playfield.
* SpellingBonus: C-R-A-N-E enables the ball lock on the crane, R-I-P-P-E-R collects the Ripper Bounty, and LAST-ACTION-HERO starts the six-ball Hero Round.
* StuffBlowingUp: The game has no shortage of explosions.
-->'''Slater:''' "Here's another explosion for your movie, kid."
* WizardMode: After collecting all of the Dynamite Features and completing LAST ACTION HERO, shoot the Movie Scoop to start the World Premier. After rewarding a bonus for how many Features were finished, the display shows people entering a movie theater while a "People Seated" value counts upward. During this time, shoot the Movie scoop to get one million points per person seated. The mode ends when the Maximum Seating Capacity is reached (based on how many Features were completed beforehand).
* WritingAroundTrademarks: To avoid infringing on Creator/WilliamsElectronics' trademark over the term "multiball," the game uses "M-Ball" instead.
