Walter's random angry outbursts comes fairly early into the film when he pulls a gun on Smokey, another patron of the bowling establishment, for stepping of the line of the alley. Any “sane” person can realize that this extreme method of punishment far outweighs the “crime” Walter thinks is being committed.This over exaggeration is not the only time the audience sees Walter in this light, later in the film he is seen smashes the Jaguar he suspects belongs to Larry Sellers, a 14-year-old kid who couldn't possibly buy a Jaguar, let alone drive one. These events serve to demonstrate that Walter is a loose cannon, poised to fire at any minute. The hyperbolic outbursts of Walter Sobchak may be entertaining, they also point to something deeper.
