Roy Munson used to be a champion bowler, until rednecks cut off his hand. When he sees Amish kid Ishmael, he realises the lad could regain the crown Roy lost to sleazy champ Ernie McCracken. Grossout comedy., Seventeen years after a bad hustle left him with a mangled hand, ex-pro bowler Roy Munson (Woody Harrelson) finds his ticket back to the fast lane in a young Amish boy (Randy Quaid), whom he enters in a million-dollar winner-take-all bowling tournament in Reno. Bill Murray, Vanessa Angel, Chris Elliott, William Jordan, Richard Tyson, Lin Shaye., Hilarious and reliably tasteless comedy from the Farrelly brothers, starring Woody Harrelson as Roy Munson, a hapless ex-tenpin bowling champion who strikes it lucky when he unearths a potential new champion, Ishmael Broog (Randy Quaid), in the Amish community. Bill Murray co-stars as Ernie McCracken, a conniving bowling rival., In the ’70s, Roy Munsen (Woody Harrelson) was a bowling phenomenon. He was none too sharp about picking friends, though, and the champion he had to beat, “Big Ern,” takes him under his supposedly friendly wing. Big Ern (Bill Murray) shows him the high-living lifestyle, and induces him to go on the road with him, hustling small-town bowlers. A couple of the men he bilks take exception to the scam, and show their displeasure with Roy by mangling his hand. Twenty years later, Roy (who now has a hook in place of his hand), earns his living as a salesman. On a visit to a bowling alley, he cannot help but notice the incredible talents of an Amish boy, Ishmael (Randy Quaid). Bowling is not part of the Amish lifestyle, but Ishmael occasionally sneaks into the bowling alley and plays a frame or two. Roy takes Ishmael under his wing, and together they begin a quest for bowling success. This comedy is directed by Peter and Robert Farrelly, who also directed Dumb and Dumber. Like those comedies, it contains a lot of gross-out jokes and bathroom humor., Low-brow comedy about a one-handed, former bowling prodigy (Woody Harrelson) whose con-artist talents are put to good use while traveling to a tournament with his naive protégé (Randy Quaid). McCracken: Bill Murray. Directed by Peter and Bobby Farrelly., Hilarious and reliably tasteless comedy from the makers of There’s Something About Mary, starring Woody Harrelson as a hapless ex-tenpin bowling champion who strikes it lucky when he unearths a potential new champion in the Amish community. Bill Murray co-stars as a conniving bowling rival., Woody Harrelson thinks Randy Quaid could be a tenpin king, but sneaky Bill Murray isn’t champ for nothing. A Farrelly Brothers grossout with balls to spare., The laughs are nonstop when Woody Harrelson, Randy Quaid, and Bill Murray wreak havoc in the bowling alleys., Peter and Bobby Farrelly’s film is a comedy with a twisted edge, starring Woody Harrelson as the ten-pin bowling hustler who took on as a partner promising newcomer Bill Murray only to be betrayed and, in the process lose his bowling hand. Years later, revenge beckons when Harrelson comes across phenom Amish bowler Randy Quaid and trains him up to take on the now famous Murray at the national championships
