        Fun fact: The back glass of the pinball game Capt Fantastic (which features Elton John from this scene) was designed by a neo-Nazi, and as such you can find Hitler and various other Nazi references in it. These were overlooked by management, because they also had several women with pronounced nipples in the audience. And we all know where American prudence will fall.

        When the manufacturer realized how many nipples were visible, they changed the back glass to add stars over the some of the women’s nipples, but they didn’t do anything about Hitler et al. Most games have the revised back glass, but there are a few original glasses out there. (I’ve seen one in person. But Capt Fantastic is a pretty common game, and I’ve been to a lot of pinball shows, so having seen only one is a sign of how rare the originals are.)

        Example of (reproduction) original back glass.. Check out the face under the “Ring my bells” sign! I think the face under the “Yankee go home” sign is also someone from the Third Reich.

        I forgot how surreal that movie is, even in that scene.

        There are other scenes that are way farther out there, I know.

          i’m in my early 40s so i mostly know middle aged and older Elton. Getting to know him the last decade through the Muppets and and his filmography, i feel like i really missed out

            He’s really something. I saw him and Billy Joel perform together on the Face to Face tour many years back, and it’s still one of my favorite concerts. They each had sections where they did their own songs, but they also did some collaborations on each other’s songs. Hearing Elton John do parts of “Piano Man” was really interesting, for example. They also did “Here Comes the Sun” together. Definitely would go to that again if they ever did it.

      No, that’s Tommy Walker. They’re different characters.

      It’s mostly just the shoes. That’s Elton John in Tommy.
