Trivia

Unlike the 1984 film adaptation and like in the novel, the Weirding Way is used. David Lynch decided not to use the Weirding Way in Dune (1984), and instead wrote into the film sound guns called Weirding Modules, because he felt that he found the Weirding Way unworkable on film and he did not want to see "Kung-fu on Dunes".
