    ipdb.notable_features
    Flippers (3), Pop bumpers (3), Spinning target (1), 6-bank drop targets (1), 3-bank drop targets (1), Multiball (2- or 3-ball), Left outlane kickback. Upper left playfield has a rotating mini-playfield providing either a ramp to the top hole or a loop to the upper left flipper. Mechanical backbox animation (handguns raised in a 'draw'). Backglass light animation (playing cards light up). When ball falls in top hole, the machine says "Ready..Set..Draw!" and the player presses the right flipper to beat the villain to the draw for a random award. Backbox topper has colored "floodlights". Mode-based machine with a time counter in the middle of the playfield.
    ipdb.notes
    Uses two 20-digit, alpha-numeric (with commas), blue Futaba displays. Brian R. Johnson shared with us his participation in making this game:Many moons ago I spent a summer as a freelance illustrator for Gottlieb. My big project was doing pencils and inking for "Lights Camera Action". I also painted the top layer of the backglass as well as the animated gun fighting characters. Constantino Mitchell was the art director and painted the San Francisco skyline, but I did the rest. Oh, and he drew the playfield "Hot babe" characters because the big wigs didn't feel my women were sexy enough. So now you have this MAD Magazine-ish looking art with a few Nagel-esque looking women thrown in.
