The edits about the \"corvette\" are meant to be a correction. According to Don Marshall who photographed did the photo shoot for the translite, the car in question is a genuine $300,000 Ferrari Daytona.

The game itself is a [[TheMockbuster blatant attempt to invoke]] ''Series/MiamiVice''; the backbox translite features a white-suited Crockett wannabe posing next to a red Corvette with two bikini-clad women, underneath the "Hollywood Heat" logo done in the ''Vice'' typeface. The table itself is more interesting, with a translucent red spiral and a miniature playfield nestled among neon flamingos, palm trees, and pastel-colored eighties pop art. A set of chutes sends the ball in various unorthodox directions, while the "Hot Shots" jump ramp allows players to quickly return to the upper mini-playfield.

As with other Premier pinballs of the period, the rules are not overly complex, making it suited for intermediate players looking for a fun, straightforward game. It's considered an overlooked jewel by those who managed to get past the [[SoBadItsGood silly theme]], and is regarded as one of Premier's better games.

''Hollywood Heat'' is a PhysicalPinballTable designed by Creator/JohnTrudeau with art by Larry Day. It was released by Creator/{{Premier}} in 1986.

The game itself is a [[TheMockbuster blatant copy]] of ''Series/MiamiVice''; the backglass features a white-suited Crockett wannabe posing next to a red Corvette with two bikini-clad women. The table itself is more interesting, with a translucent red spiral ramp and a miniature playfield nestled among neon flamingos, palm trees, and Eighties pop art. A set of chutes sends the ball in interesting directions, while the "Hot Shots" ramp allows players to quickly return to the upper mini-playfield. As with other Premier pinballs of the period, the rules are not overly complex, making it suited for intermediate players looking for a fun, straightforward game.

!! ''Hollywood Heat'' demonstrates the following tropes:

* CaliforniaDoubling: Inverted; WordOfGod is that the "Hollywood" on the backglass was actually shot on Ocean Boulevard in Miami, Florida.
* CoolCar: The red Corvette on the backglass.
* CoolShades: Worn by "Crockett" on the backglass.
* {{Expy}}:
** The man in the white suit on the backglass is an obvious expy for ''Vice's'' Sonny Crockett.
** The game's promotion flyer has Jeff Walker (from Creator/{{Bally}}'s Marketing Department) playing an expy for Rico Tubbs.
* FanserviceExtra: The two bikini-clad women on the backglass.
* ManInWhite
* TheMockbuster: Of ''Series/MiamiVice''.
* SpellingBonus: Spelling P-I-N-B-A-L-L (which requires lighting the top rollovers seven times) lights the outlane specials.
