Bill Murray ACTUALY hit 3 straight strikes at the end of the movie. The Brothers told Murray he could take whatever time he needs to do the 3. They told the crowd before shooting the scene what needs to happen and how they need to react. They didn't need any coaching once they started shooting, the brothers said they were gobsmacked that he did it, the reaction of the crowd is all real, everyone was amazed.

This is one of the Farrelly brothers most underrated comedies IMO. It came out in between 'Dumb & Dumber' and 'There's Something about Mary' and for whatever reason it just didn't hit at the box office as big as those other two films. But in my view it easily holds its own with those two films.

Of the three? I have to say... Kingpin! Is my favorite by far.

[@tjm6983]

Vanessa Angel first appeared in the hillarious, Spies Like Us, as a teen, and is still super beautiful and built! Believe it or not, they also did the Oscar winning movie, The Green Book!

Kingpin parodies a LOT of things, namely The Hustler and it's sequel The Color of Money (except they're about pool). Oh and the random person throwing garbage at Ishmael's feet and the pan up to a single tear is a parody of the "crying Indian" anti-littering commercial from 1970.

The scene with the single tear on the side of the road with the garbage, was a subtle but obvious 1970s environmental reference.

The reason McKracken has a combover at the end, is in the beginning when Munson was hustling the Preacher, McCracken says "You'll pick up that spare, the same day my hair starts falling out".

Great reactio Ames like always. This movie is beyond stupid and I absolutely love it!!! I have no idea how many times I've seen it, but I have never once not laughed. Bill Murray improvised nearly every line for Big Ern, Co-director Bobby Farrelly said “Ernie was a great idea on paper, but he didn’t really have the lines until Bill showed up. Bill had nothing to work with, it was kind of a thankless role as written, and he turned it into just a beautiful character. Bill just threw all the pages away and just said, ‘I get it, trust me,’ and we did and every line he came up with was better than the line that was scripted. ‘You’re on a gravy train with biscuit wheels.’ Like, where the f*ck did that sh*t come from? It was genius. You can’t really tell Bill how to be Bill because he’s gonna do it better than you can come up with. He’s a world-class improviser.” Keep up the good work.
