2002 Australian motion picture comedy starringMick Molloy , Bill Hunter, Frank Wilson,Monica Maughan , Samuel Johnson,Lois Ramsay ,Bob Hornery ,Judith Lucy ,John Clarke andDenis Moore . The plot centred around a wisecracking layabout, Jack Simpson (played by Molloy) who joins a lawn bowls club in order to be allowed to use a free parking spot. When the club enters financial difficulty Simpson is forced to play lawn bowls with the much older crowd, with hilarious consequences. The film's villain, 'Pokies King' Bernie Fowler, was played, in a successful change-of-pace, by satirist John Clarke. "Crackerjack" was the highest-grossing Australian film of the year and received two AFI Award nominations, for direction (Paul Moloney ) and the screenplay (by Mick and brotherRichard Molloy ).The music used in the climactic scene as the lawn bowl rolled down the green in slow motion is Zadok the Priest by Handel.
