Random Movie Trivia - The Big Lebowski

Here is the next edition in our weekly Random Movie Trivia post.  Enjoy:

The Big Lebowski

• A lot of the clothes The Dude wears in this film are actually Jeff Bridges' own clothes including the Jellies sandals.
• The reason Steve Buscemi's character Donny is constantly told to "Shut the fuck up!" by Walter (John Goodman) is because Steve Buscemi's character in Fargo never shuts up.  Fargo was written and directed by the Coen brothers (Joel and Ethan), the same guys who wrote and directed this film.
• The word "Dude" is said 260 times and printed once.
• The word "Fuck" is used 292 times.
• And The Dude says "Man" 147 times.
• Also, The Dude drank nine White Russians over the course of the movie.
• The Dude is in every scene of the movie even the scene where the Nihilists are ordering pancakes, you can see him drive by in a van in the background.
• Before every scene, Jeff Bridges would ask the directors "Did The Dude just burn one on the way over?" and if the answer was yes, he would rub his knuckles into eyes to make them red.
• In an early draft of the script, it is revealed how The Dude receives income, he was apparently the heir to the inventor of the Rubik's Cube.  Obviously, this was later dropped from the final cut.
• In the edited cut made for TV, the line "This is what happens when you fuck a stranger in the ass!" was changed to "This is what happens when you find a stranger in the Alps!" and is deemed one of the most creative TV edits every conceived.
• Despite being on a bowling team, you never actually see The Dude bowl for his team.  Also, Donny (Steve Buscemi) bowls a strike every time except right before he is killed by the Nihilists.

"The Dude said 'Man' 1.5 times a minute in this movie.  Impressive."
