Movies are a very complicated mess of time, money, people, and strange decisions. Inevitably, in the hodgepodge of life that goes into creating a movie, a few strange and interesting things happen here and there that are rather fascinating little tidbits of information. Every Monday starting in 2014, tune in to Cinefix for lists of things we find out that you (probably) didn't know! - Krátké a kreslené filmy
About the Dudeism being pathetic, well, you know, that's just like your opinion, man.
Level++ opinions are brain farts, but I guess that is just my opinion.
Level++ If I remember correctly, it's based off of Taoism (Is that some kind of eastern thing?)
mehpersonguy0 Far from it.
So pathetic
Hahahaha 😂 YES!
Also you never see the Dude bowling once in the movie. Donny bowled, Walter bowled, even Jesus Bowled but the dude is never seen going up to bowl
He's obviously a golfer.
This is true however you do see shots of the dude's bowling ball rolling down a lane IIRC
Well. There is a saying in filmmaking "never show the money." You take out everything you don't need, the superfluous.
So this saying is both literal and not completely literal, if you see the complexity of information man.
im pretty sure walter never bowled. what scene did he bowl in?
@@Heikos01 hahahaha hahahaha 😂
There are few comedy movies that get funnier the more times you watch . This is one of those all time greats.
Unless you talk about it getting funnier, which case the expectation makes it get less funny than you thought it would be,
Something Clever yes for sure. I watched it Sunday in theaters they had it playing I’m glad I could watch it in theaters and man it does get funnier each time you watch it lol. I had only seen parts of it before in the past but until recently I watched the whole thing and have been watching it like every week lol it’s hilarious
And Clerks
It does get funnier, further up the trail.
Raising Arizona
That fake coffee shop is like the Wilheim scream of movie sets.
Wilhelm Scream
It's on the corner of Wilshire & Fairfax here in L.A.
And your profile pic scared the shit out of me when I saw it just now
Wasn't it also in XXX?
@@AlanHirschenhoferII Lets not forget Dude that keeping wildlife, um... an amphibious rodent, for... um, ya know domestic... within the city... that ain't legal either.
My great grandmother was in this movie. Although she was a background character in the bowling scene. She's visible and she's in an important scene so it's cool.
Yeah right
She really tied the background together.
Which one is she
"Jackie Treehorn treats objects like women, man."
Probably my favorite line and the one I quote most often from the movie.
Wow, a coffee shop that isn't a real coffee shop but just a place with a good location rented out to film makers to shoot coffee shop scenes in! Thats the most LA thing ever!
rivolinho it was a real coffee shop at one time but they wound up making more money renting it out to movie studios.
niga pleese
No, the most LA thing ever is a beloved character who turns out to be a pederast, and nobody says peep.
rivolinho just FYI - not the coffee shop from Reservoir Dogs
Wonder what their coffees like
How many times do we hear "Shut the fuck up, Donny."? :)
Tyler Scott You're out of your element!

Damnit ran into myself again

+Tyler Scott Not enough is the correct answer
I think why we love this movie so much, there is a Jeffrey Lebowski in all of us waiting to break out. Living our fast pace lives, I'm sure we would all love to kick back and be "the Dude" every once in a while.
Dude... where's part 2, man? It would really, like, tie the whole thing together, y'know?
+Jack Parker Yes, I also wanna know! :B
Still no part 2
They have got information, man. New shit has come to light. It might be complex, have you not considered that... sir?
I'm sure there's a lot of ins, a lot of outs, a lot of what-have-yous.
I think a second one couldn't deliver the same quality again. Maybe it's better like it is.
While John Turturro was only in the film for a few minutes his character was UNFORGETTABLE. He stole the scene every time. Love this movie it was one of those sleeper movies that became a cult classic.
Stfu donny, you're out of your element

Well whatever floats your boat.
No kidding the Coen's agreed to the floor covering article. That was hilarious; completely priceless, they must laugh about it still today everytime they think about it. Filmmaking will take you to strange places.
So do burglaries
At least there was no chance that 9/11 would come into the conversation.
You ever seen 2 guys so successful yet so nervous in every interview? It's like they know god is watching and he's pissed. It won't end well for them.
I was an editorial assistant at Floor Covering Weekly in NYC---it was my first glamorous job in publishing back in 1981! Dude!
Quite possibly the best movie ever made.
Yeah, well, that's just, like, your opinion, man
***** Well played, sir
+lonewanderer yeah except this fucking fact man not a opinion dude
+Dr Strange sound like you didn t catch that comment whose a quote from the movie, and no it s no fact but appreciation, so it s far from fact really, anyway , we love that movie , and many from the coen s bro, probably their best even i love barton flink but i can see it s not as perfect as the big lebov or fargo, and it s just my taste really, best movie of the coen s , sure, of the world, mmm probably not , but it make no sense to classified a best of the universe , cause it s just art, it s not a fooball match or any kind of competition. if i made a list of the hundred movie that i madly love , sure it be on the list but for some other people they didn t dig about that movie and i respect their choice, some people pray for buddah, some for allah no one is right or wrong but american have been brought to think there must be a top and a bottom, well watch that movie again and you ll see there s no top and no bottom,
+pooli door just simple please man
God bless Jeff Bridges. I hope he stays well in his fight with lymphoma. Amazing actor.
David Huddleston, the actor who played The Big Lebowski, died today. RIP.
Wow, I didn't know that
The Dude's check was also post-dated although it is for less than a dollar. After the grocvery scene, the landlord reminds him that "it's already the tenth".
TooLooze
That doesn’t make sense considering bush was in the background giving his new world order speech and that was done on the 11th.

This is the movie I would pick if I only had one movie to take to a desert island.
Daweeni why would a island be in the desert?
I dunno man, good question but what youre really asking is why would a video recorder be on the island
I guess we're assuming a portable DVD player type of device with an indefinite battery recharging capacity (solar, or otherwise...)
Then again, he didn't say viewing the movie, just that he'd take it with him. If the committee of forcing people to desert islands made him pick one, for twisted little reasons known only to them.
You know, that's just like your opinion, man.
Saw a small island when I floated the salt river in Arizona.
At least they didn’t spell dessert
where's part 2 man!?
Hey man, that's just, like, a working process.
"Rug being R. Kelly-ed"
LMFAO!!!
Now that's a real roach burrrrn on a real-life pederast!
Haha Classic. I've watched lebowski about 10 million times and it never gets old
If it was never new and it never gets old it's The Dude.
I am a dudeist priest and have conducted a magnificent wedding in this church with a rug that that really tied the room together... so you know, say what you want about the tenets of Dudeism, but at least it's an ethos.

The screen writing of this film is excellent. The mention of things every so often like Vietnam and China man. It makes it even better when watching it more than once.
Coffee shop in Reservoir Dogs is Pat and Lorraine's in Eagle Rock California, not Johnnies in L.A.
zomghax12 And, the restaurant where Gone in 60 Seconds was filmed at Quality Café, which has since been closed down.
What about the coffee shop in Mulholland Drive. It has a similar vibe to these other ones.
It's been over a year, still waiting for part 2.
Yeah wtf Cinefix

A part 2 would really tie this series all together man.
But all we're gonna get is some lame shit about Jesus, the pedo.
This is my favorite video so far ,soo please do a part 2 ,man!
My actual question is rather how many strikes were bowled in the movie
TheRealBeatMaster Not a single one from the Dude .
The dude abides.
3 I guess. 3, plus the 1 that Donny shanked.
Well Dude, we just don't know
I love how my dad and I were talking about the Big Lebowski and then an hour later this video is in my recommendations

Number 8: The song featured in this film called "I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in" (Kenny Rogers) makes the most excellent use of backward masking ever. Find out for yourself and be stunned.
The whole movie is chock full of good music
I noticed that but never got it, thanks.
The stats were an amazing touch! This is fantastic!
Not really a massive thing, but the checkout attendant during the cheque writing is the Actor Anna Gunn, who plays Skyler White on Breaking Bad. not a big thing, just one of those faces you just cant unsee now
Not exactly... www.imdb.com/name/nm0482186
New shit come to light, man
Dear uploader: "you have no frame of reference here...You're like a child who wanders into the middle of a movie and wants to know..."
Does anyone realize that The Dude is never seen actually bowling in the movie? Why is that?
@CHRLPTRSN Duuuuuuuuude.......you're being very un-dude. You have to buck up, man. You can't bring this negative energy into the tournament...
@@matthewdouglas1567 Well, that is, like, just an opinion, man . . .
"That's one of life's mysteries..."
That was actually quite informative, thank you! Interesting stuff.
I always noticed Johnie's in Big Lebowski and American History X! Two of my favorite movies! Didn't realize it was in Reservoir Dogs and Gone In 60 Seconds as well! I love those movies!
That Reservoir Dogs frame is from Pat and Lorraine's in Eagle Rock ya goofus.
peppergod The café where Mr Orange meets up with his superior is Johnie’s Coffee Shop, but the breakfast scene is at Pat and Lorraine's... we cut to the wrong shot, FAIL :/
CineFix I had wondered the same thing, but also thought - that being a 90s movie and all - that surely there were multiple coffee shops used in the film :D (I live right down the street from Pat & Lorraine's. Excellent breakfasts!)
inner city kids with prominence! but without the necessary means for a necessary means for a higher education but mr. Lebowski is committed to sending them all to college... excuse me dont touch that.. 😂😂😂
Dave Aaaaand proud we are of all of them... 🤣
Necessary means for a Freemason's sync area
Oh Lord, PLEASE more from Lebowski! :)
My birthday is September 11, 1991 and now I feel so much more connected to this masterpiece than I did before.
The check-writing scene was a major blooper. In September 1991 the Gulf War was over by several months. That speech by Bush was in the summer of 1990. Or maybe Dude was just writing his check with a whole year to make sure it cleared.
Godless Conservative Libertarian Perhaps they were celebrating the end of the war by re-airing the famous speech on its anniversary.
Donny Lurch
No, because later in the film Walter is talking about the progress of the war, "I'm sure you'll see some tank battles...".
Godless Conservative Libertarian Oh well shit.
It is said that all prophets post date their cheques.
Dude wrote Sept 11, but the landlord later says "it's already the 10th"??
Hey careful man, there's a beverage here!
This is one of the funniest vids on YT you are a genius. Really, man.
when is part 2 coming? I subscribed and everything!
"We believe in NOTHING, Lebowski!"
For a bunch of nihilists who "believe in nothing", they are suuure obsessed with 1 million 💸 ! !
That must be exhausting
Is this your homework Larry? That kid never says anything either! hahaha - Also the DUDE singing the song from that terrible show BRANDED starring Chuck Conners is priceless!
First video I've ever seen on this page, well worth a subscribe :)
I wish they would make a part 2. I love this movie.
Do we ever actually see the Dude bowl at all?
Also, has anybody ever noticed that pretty much everything that goes wrong in the entire movie (including the first visit to "the other Jeffrey Lebowski") is Walter's fault?
The real Walter fucked up every road trip. Except Banff, he was pretty cool there. Now I wouldn't ride with him as far as the nearest 7/11. He's just an @$$hole.
Still waiting for part 2.
Shut the fuck up Donnie!
Terrific video. Thanks.
There's a lot of "coincidences" in 90s movies about 9-11.
I pressed thumbs up straight away, but almost changed it to down when you dissed the priesthood. I for one am actively looking for a Lebowski Fest to attend in the future. Dressed as Walter.
It's not like it's some fucking mystery, man.
I mean, this is a show, there are venues.
Walter was funny, God I love this movie
@@randyhutchinson9910 Walter was SCARY, man!! 🙀
Jeff Bridges said that during the Gutterballs dream sequence he brought his wife to the set and because he was, initially, supposed to float between the girls' legs (later just digitally superimposed as they were shot separately) that his wife found out and went to the makeup department and so got all the girls to loosely stuff their crotches with fake pubic hair to look as unappealing as possible.
Oh my God
Jeff brought his camera to the set and took a lot of upskirt pictures that day, while his daughters watched.
You guys should focus all your attention on this series it's awesome and by far on of the best (along with those other top ten lists u make ie: best fx, etc)
Great video well done!!
¿Nobody will said something about Flea of the RHCP appearing in the movie or what?
Actually they did, one year before you asked this.
Actually Dudeism is a modern form of Taoism (and a good one imo) so it's far from pathetic.
The Dude abides.

Or maybe Tao is ancient form of do-deism?

Jeff always gives rare unique good movies
More things about TBL please and thank you! 😃
Johnnie's Coffee Shop isn't real?! How did I eat there in the late 90's? It's right across the street from the Peterson automotive museum. Must be a new phenomenon.
+Josh Done Dude you were in Pleasantville.
That fuckin' Mandela fuck again. He's dead and he's still fuckin' with us!
It’s real, but no longer in business as a coffee shop - just used as a set.
Nope, only happened to you
Bonus thing you didnt know: you can clearly see the writer Charlie Kaufman in the background of the Dude's landlord's dance scene
There is no Charlie Kaufman. He's just another Coen brother. They keep him around as a spare in case one or the other gets smothered by his mother's tits.
excellent video!!!!
TIME FOR PART 2!!
Yeah?, well that's just like your opinion, man.
Can you guys please do "O Brother, Where Art Thou"?!?
I have owned an oriental rug since 1978 and it has hung in every living room I have ever lived in.
My best friend in Flagstaff Arizona in the 80's was named Jeff, wore Hawaiian shirts and was generally addressed as "Dude"
Another good buddy was a Vietnam-era veteran (dishonorably discharged for setting the barracks on fire) who lived in the back of his pickup truck and worked as an itinerant foreign-car mechanic.
Black Russians (and occasionally white ones) were my drink of choice dating back to the turn of the 1980's.
If you went over the 15-minute time limit at open mic night, you were likely to receive physical threats, though nobody I knew ever pulled a gun.
Have you, like, thought about suing them for royalties, man?
yes, for ripping off my lifestyle...
Fuckin' imposter.
They borrowed so many details of my life that I should sue them, yes.
this should have been much longer. you could do a full hour of this movie and Id still watch it

The Cohens: Hes basically you with redder eyes☝🤓😁
Cool stuff!
Here's one: the dude only says two sentences (8 words) to Donny in the whole movie
It's 3 sentences and 9 words. I got curious and investigated it. He says "My rug." "I'm going home, Donny." "Thank you, Donny."
Well… the dude abides
I normally enjoy these segments, but I knew every single one of these.
So much for part 2 :< RIP
"Part 2, coming soon." 5 1/2 years later...

how soon ? "Soon" or "Soon" ?

I haven't even seen this movie and I found this info very cool. :)
Good job you just pulled a bunch of info from imdb's trivia section and threw some clips of the movie in to tie it together.
