Trivia: The only time Donny doesn’t get a strike is before they fight the Nihilists at the end of the movie.
 

Goofs: Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Before the Dude’s car is stolen from outside the bowling alley Walter makes reference to having a million dollars “in the trunk”. Later, when the car is recovered by the LAPD, the Dude looks frantically into the back seat and declares that his briefcase is missing. He never opens the trunk.
 

“When “The Dude” Lebowski is mistaken for a millionaire Lebowski, two thugs urinate on his rug to coerce him into paying a debt he knows nothing about. While attempting to gain recompense for the ruined rug from his wealthy counterpart, he accepts a one-time job with high pay-off. He enlists the help of his bowling buddy, Walter, a gun-toting Jewish-convert with anger issues. Deception leads to more trouble, and it soon seems that everyone from porn empire tycoons to nihilists want something from The Dude. Written by J. Lake”
