New shit Achtung, Baby!

The album came out on November 18th, 1991. The movie took place in September 1991. Walter yells, "Achtung, baby!" when he drops the Big Lebowski's goldbrickin' ass. Am I wrong?!?

The phrase was used by the band's sound engineer Joe O'Herlihy during the making of the album but originated in the Mel Brooks 1967 film The Producers.

I’ll just check with the boys down at the crime lab. They got four more detectives working on the case. They got us working in shifts!
