Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn an interview with Rolling Stone Magazine,John Goodmanstated that The Dude referring to The Big Lebowski as a "human paraquat" was one of the only improvised lines to make it into the final film. Virtually every other line, including every "man" and "dude," was scripted.
- GoofsWhen the Dude is at Jackie Treehorn's and he rubs the pad of paper with a pencil revealing Treehorn's drawing of a naked man, the Dude tears the page off the pad and quickly crumples and shoves the paper into his pocket. Later, while in the office of the Malibu Chief of Police, the Chief goes through the Dude's wallet and the same piece of paper is neatly folded in the wallet with no sign of the previous crumpling.
- Quotes
Walter Sobchak:Nihilists! Fuck me. I mean, say what you want about the tenets of National Socialism, Dude, at least it's an ethos.
- Crazy creditsBaby Wranglers: Howls/Giggles/Marmots
- Alternate versionsThe version which premiered on USA Network in September, 2000 has been severely cut (aside from the usual edits for content). Among the story lines excised are virtually all the scenes involving Jesus Quintana (John Turturro), the private eye from Minnesota (Jon Polito) looking for Bunny Lebowski and the scene where Maud is trying to conceive The Dude's child.

Featured review
My Rating: 9/10
You either hate it or love it. I am in love with 'The Big Lebowski'! I love most of the Coen Brothers' work and this one is right up there with Fargo and No Country For Old Men. It's super funny and can be watched again and again. I think I watch it once a year and always have a great time.
One that I highly recommend. Go watch it! And then watch it again and again.
AN AWESOME CULT FILM.
