In the scene when Munson is preparing to bowl his first frame at the end, we see him look at Ishmael who is holding a sign saying "Go Roy". As soon as it cuts back to Roy, Ish is holding a sign saying "Will Work For Food". The cut was very quick, so there is no way he would be able to flip over the sign that quickly. [He simply had two signs stacked on top of each other.There would be plenty of time to drop the one in front to the show the second.]

Comments made in brackets are corrections from other visitors. As such, any aggressive/abusive corrections (and I get quite a few) written as if they're comments I've made myself will be ignored. To submit your own corrections for mistakes, just click the edit icon under an entry, then choose "correct entry". Some entries have "duplicated entry" after them - these are entries which were already listed on the main page, but were submitted again. I occasionally leave these online for a while, just in case they were moved in error, so don't worry about pointing them out to me.

How is it that Roy Munson can tutor the Amish guy on how to get a strike first time when he first meets him, but then spends the rest of the movie struggling to improve his own game? [Many of the best sports trainers are actually terrible at the sport they train. They're all just former players who stopped training themselves, and give their knowledge of the sport to somone else.]
In the scene near the beginning of the movie (Roy is grown now) Roy gets out of his car at the local bowling alley. He is putting his jacket on and he rips it. If you look carefully, one minute Roy is facing the camera, and the next minute you get a side view of him.It's a pretty bad skip in the film that almost anyone will notice. [These are just cut-to shots to speed up the movie. ]
In the scene where McCracken gets Roy to pretend they're dictionary salesmen and bowl for money, Roy has to bowl and hit the 6, 7 & 10 pins. When he bowls, you can see the 6, 7, get knocked down, and one of them goes behind the 10 pin, which magically falls down like it was being pulled down with string. It's obvious neither a pin nor a ball hits that 10. [The six pin goes across the lane and knocks the 10 pin over from behind.]
At the Championship in Reno, Roy gives the two ladies his 1979 State Championship Ring to keep until he can win the tournament and then pay off his championship dues. He loses the tournament to Ernie McKracken, yet he has the ring after the torunament, because he shows it to the two guys during the brawl outside his car. Since Roy didn't win the tournament, the ladies should have kept the ring. [A runner up in a tournament would get some sort of compensation or contract with a sponser. So the tournament would release the ring back to him.]
