Kingsman: The Golden Circle just debuted its first trailer teaser, but made fans work hard to discover any actual footage. However, once you slow it down (as we’ve done in the video above), you’ll notice that there is a lot of information packed into the footage.

If you’re a fan of the cult classic movie The Big Lebowski, then the Kingsman franchise is seriously doing right by you.

First of all, two of Lebowski’s biggest stars landed major roles in the movie. The Dude himself, Jeff Bridges, will portray the leader of the American organization, the Statesmen. Julianne Moore, who played his quasi-love interest Maude Lebowski, is set to star as The Golden Circle‘s villain. Both characters were seen in the short teaser, but that wasn’t the only nod to the Coen Brothers’ classic.

It’s clear that Moore’s character, Poppy, has a crazy evil hideout. While most of it looks like an old diner in the jungle, there’s one frame depicting a different room in her residence – a bowling alley.

We all know The Dude loved to bowl, and Moore was featured in that wild bowling-dream sequence in The Big Lebowski. Furthermore, check out the shirt Poppy is wearing in the scene. In every other shot, she’s wearing something bright in color, matching her clearly eccentric personality.

Here? Well, she’s donning a brown and yellow bowling shirt, of course.
