|
IMDB rating: 6.60 Plot: Roy Munson (Woody Harrelson) was raised to be the best bowler in the world (trained early on by his father). But a fellow bowler, Ernie McCracken (Bill Murray) and a misunderstanding with some rough punks, leaves poor Roy with the loss of his bowling hand! Not to let this get him down, he gets a prosthetic hand and becomes a traveling sales man. But it’s really all down hill for him from that night on until … One day he meets Ishmael (Randy Quaid) who’s a Quaker that sneaks away from the farm to bowl (his fellow Quakers would disown him if they knew)! Roy convinces Ishmael to let him be his trainer and he’ll make him the best bowler the world has ever seen. Reluctantly Ismael agrees to go on the road and shortly afterwards actually finds that life outside the farm is quite fun. Soon their paths cross that of Ernie McCracken who is still top ranking bowler. While Roy’s career and life have landed in the toilet bowl, Ernie is still drawing huge crowds and all the babes! They both square off for the untimate bowling championship … to see which one truly IS the champion. To find that out you’ll have to see this funny and original movie. Bill Murray is at his best, since Caddyshack. Randy Quaid makes some daring choices that really work and Woody Harrelson brings us the comdey style from “Cheers” that made him a household name! |

Why is Kingpin a crime lord when he has rich businesses that he owns?
I just don’t get the need to be a villian. Someone please respond thoroughly. Same thing with Lex Luther I guess and how do the superheroes just happen to get involved (Spiderman and Superman)
There are a lot of possible reasons. For one, it’s likely they used their criminal empire to create their big businesses (which originally were likely fronts for their illegal activities) in the first place. Another strong possibility is that their illegal activities are a major factor in their legitamate businesses being profittable (either through illegal acquisitions of technology/information, or thorugh illegal manipulation of government officials). Then there’s always the chance that they are just adrenaline junkies who find legal businesses to be too boring for their tastes.
