About this deal

Kingpin is a fun screwball comedy from the Farrelly brothers with a great cast

Roy Munson (Woody Harrelson) is a young bowler with a promising career ahead of him until a disreputable colleague, Ernie McCracken (Bill Murray), tricks him into participating in a con game that ends with Roy's bowling hand crippled for life. Years later, Roy ekes out a hardscrabble existence until he discovers Amish bowling phenom Ishmael (Randy Quaid). With the help of a gangser's girlfriend (Vanessa Angel), he plots to take Ishmael to the top of the bowling world.

I think there are few better images you could have used from this film.

Few years back got talked into a 7 hour drive from Vegas to Reno to go see the National Bowling Center featured in Kingpin. trip seemed a good idea at the time. got there and it was closed but did get a buffet in the Peppermill Hotel and a night in the eldorado. If you think Vegas is crazy, Renos on another level.

I decided to do a San Fran/LA/Vegas/Reno round trip as it worked out slightly cheaper in the car. Didn't quite appreciate the length of drive to Reno through possibly the most desolate terrain I have ever known. I remember worrying we were going to run out of petrol and every place marked on our map seemed to be about two houses.

Reno I recall was alright, I think a stay at Circus Circus was $6
