20 Things You Somehow Missed In The Big Lebowski
14. If At First You Don't Succeed, Reverse It
Next time you decide to play back The Big Lebowski, pay close attention to the scene where Walter throws the ringer from the window. The shot was so difficult to get during production that the crew eventually decided to perform the scene in reverse and then reverse the footage again during post-production.
There were several attempts made to shoot the scene normally, but no one could get the briefcase to soar in a perfect arc.
As such, they decided to get creative: With cameras rolling, the driver backed the car up instead of driving forward while a crew member tossed the briefcase to him.
