How did the Farrelly Brothers talk Bill Murray and Woody Harrelson to make this movie?
Gets funnier everytime I watch it.

As picky as Murray is, he was so awesome in this role. Just didn't know if anyone knew a backstory on this movie.

I could watch a spinoff on a movie just about Big Ern.

I'm pissed that I didn't open this thread and the first line of the OP be:

Do you die if you drink piss?

I feel like I've been Munsoned in the middle of nowhere.

Also, trivia:

Bill Murray actually bowled all three strikes in a row in one take onnth first take at the end of the movie. , his reaction and the entire crowds reaction are completely improvised.

Before he rolls the final strike the crowd goes dead silent except one man who yells "you the man, big ern!". It was actor, Will Ferral.

You would be punctilious in assuming that.

(I wonder what happened to Ms. Claudia IRL?)

That scene is classic when he's watchihg that commercial of Big Ern

Another scene:

"I'm just so bombed."

"You get that way drinking ginger ale?"

"He was out sniffing glue in the parking lot."

Roy: Just be quiet.

Ishmael: whispers "okay,"

Roy: Ooh! I think I tore my sac.

Ishmael: Are you okay, Mr. Munson?

Roy: Shh! What did I just say?

Ishmael: Uh, "I think I tore my sac"?

Murry killed it. When he tells the waitress to go wipe that perfume off before you come back was improved as well

As the story goes..
Randy Quaid was the one who got Bill Murray to accept the role .

I was coming to post that exact quote!

I actually used that at a bar with a buddy. He had no idea what it was from.

The Farrelly Brothers were riding the success of Dumb and Dumber. I'm sure there were several actors dying to work with them.

Big Ern is Murray's best character.
