Tempting Fate | |
| Crackerjack / int_15b2cab3 | comment |
Tempting Fate: Lampshaded when Stan says he hopes the next lawnkeeper doesn't get him arrested again (having been briefly blamed by police for the marijuana business). Jack then enters dressed as the lawnkeeper, causing Stan to say he's spoken too soon. | |

Rambling Old Man Monologue | |
| Crackerjack / int_4e6cb27f | comment |
Rambling Old Man Monologue: Stan is usually the coolest of the old folks in the bowls club, but give him an excuse and he will go off on a long and boring lecture about the most famous game of bowls ever played: that played by Sir Francis Drake on Plymouth Hoe on the morning of his battle against the Spanish Armada and how, on being warned of the approach of the Spanish fleet, Drake remarked that there was plenty of time to finish the game and still beat the Spaniards. At the end of Jack's voiceover during the credit's, Jack starts telling the same story. | |

| Crackerjack / int_58154a14 | comment |
Bribe Backfire: Bernie Fowler tries to bribe Jack into throwing the bowls tournament. Jack agrees to meet him in the car park, but then tips of Nancy so she can take photographs of the meeting. This prove Bernie was in violation of the restraining order saying he could not be within 500 metres of the Cityside Bowls Club, and that act renders him illegible to hold a gaming licence. | |

| Crackerjack / int_829b958e | comment |
Embarrassing First Name: When Dave tells Jack he is planning on joining the club, Jack tells him he is already a member, as Jack had used his name as part of his scam to score extra parking spots. When Dave asks him why no one at the club had mentioned this to him, Jack says its because he took it out under Dave's real name: Albert David Jackson. | |

Forbidden Chekhov's Gun | |
| Crackerjack / int_9289ca1d | comment |
Forbidden Chekhov's Gun: Early in the film, Jack tries a "flipper" - in short, a cricket thing transposed to lawn bowls - with disastrous results. He's angrily told never to pull that crap again, but when he has to pull off an almost impossible shot in order to win the championship, he's explicitly instructed to do it. | |

Down to the Last Play: Stan wins the bowls tournament with the last bowl of the match. However, because he collapsed after bowling it and was unconscious before the bowl came to rest, Bernie Fowler has it declared invalid. The officials decide to allow the next bowler in sequence to make the shot, and that happens to be Jack, who decides to bowl his infamous 'flipper'... | |
