Kingpin (1996)
From the minds of the Farrelly Brothers comes “Kingpin”, a riotous comedy that takes the world of professional bowling and spins it into a wild tale of redemption, unlikely friendships, and over-the-top hilarity. Packed with outrageous humor and a memorable cast, this cult classic hits every comedic strike.
Roy Munson (Woody Harrelson) was once a rising star in the bowling world, destined for greatness. But after a con gone wrong with rival bowler Ernie McCracken (Bill Murray), Royβs career is derailed, leaving him washed-up, broke, and sporting a less-than-functional prosthetic hand. Life for Roy becomes a series of disappointments until he discovers Ishmael Boorg (Randy Quaid), a naΓ―ve Amish man with a natural gift for bowling.
Determined to get back into the spotlight, Roy convinces Ishmael to join him on a road trip to a high-stakes bowling tournament in Reno. Along the way, they encounter a series of absurd obstacles, colorful characters, and hilariously chaotic situations. To complicate matters, Royβs old nemesis, McCracken, is also vying for the championship, leading to a showdown thatβs as unpredictable as it is hilarious.
