The annals of censorship


The movie: "The Big Lebowski"

The scene: Walter (as played by John Goodma) is smashing the windshield and headlights of an expensive sports car that he thinks belongs to an insolent teen-ager he believes has stolen some money from him.

The uncensored line: "You see what happens when you fuck a stranger in the ass?"

The dubbed line: "You see what happens when you find a stranger in the Alps?"

"You see what happens when you find a stranger in the Alps?"

Well, if you're practicing the values of the Good Samaritan, you don't fuck him in the ass.

What channel was that on? Surely the studio-released dub was better than that.

And what kind of masochist would watch The Big Lebowski -- of all movies -- in a dubbed form?

"find a stranger in the Alps" will never have the same ring again.
