Grab Your Lucky Crack Pipe And Check Out The Trailer For Herzog's BAD LIEUTENANT: PORT OF CALL NEW ORLEANS!!!
Beaks here...
I once doubted Werner Herzog's ability to bring the uncut, Abel Ferrara crazy with BAD LIEUTENANT: PORT OF CALL NEW ORLEANS. Good god almighty, was I ever full of shit.
"Shoot him again. His soul is still dancing." To everyone who's been tearing into Nicolas Cage over the last few years for sleepwalking through stuff like NATIONAL TREASURE and BANGKOK DANGEROUS: feel free to write the man a heartfelt apology in the below talkback. Looks like he just won his second Oscar. No, I'm not kidding.
The only question now is "How will this not be the best film of 2009?" AVATAR might fuck your eyeballs. BAD LIEUTENANT's gonna put iguanas on your coffee table.

This looks cheap and dirty. Which I guess is appropriate. It has the feel of a direct-to-video "look how dangerous of film makers we are" movie with a cast of former A-listers now relegated to the bargain bins. I will admit it looks like a lively performance from Cage, but we've seen Cage do this before. I'm not that impressed.
-
I'ma see that shit outta this one.
-
I am, all at once, not surprised at all at what I just watched and yet my mind is STILL blown that this is a Werner Herzog film.
-
looks like... well tosh
-
Interesting.
-
I love National Treasure, too.
-
And I mean that in the best way possible.
-
We can but dream.
-
And he puts a gun to an old lady's head? This might turn out to be as good as I've hoped.
-
What looks interesting about this?
That his character sees an imaginary iguana?
Oooohhh...edgy! -
and, from what i hear, the Weather Man was a quality movie (though, not necessarily for a AICN audience).
But yeah, if anyone can man up and rein in Cage's craziness (see: Ghost Rider eating jellybeans out of a martini glass), it's Werner FUCKING Herzog.
Remember him? Fitzcarraldo? Rescue Dawn? Ate a FUCKING SHOE? Yeah...Cage ain't no problem. -
I had completely forgot about this! And I just finished my final bachelor paper on Herzog and documentaries and stuff, and therefore am totally still in 2007, so this is just the coolest thing ever... the man knows his shit.
-
Wait, this is a movie? Sounds like the latest Grand Theft Auto game.
-
Xibit is in da house. Mount up!
-
I feel so much better now.
-
Or had his neck tucked, or something....
-
like an actual movie, and not a steaming pile of shit.
say what you will about cage, but for every piece of shit national treasure sequel he does, he maintains the profile to get shit like this made. -
He's still got it.
-
Vern needs to review this. Now.
-
but this movie looks like straight to video SHIT! Nicholas Cage shold never have won an oscar. He should be cleaning floors with a partner named Oscar.
-
I noticed it too...more salsa...less cheese...
-
Just when I had written off Nic Cage for all the crap he picks, he pulls this shit on me. Inconsistent as all hell, but every 10 years he does some movie that makes me remember why I liked him in the first place.
-
get excited it Werner Fucking Herzog! That man makes nature seem like a meadow is the most predatory thing in the world.
-
This Christmas, Academy Award winning actor Nicolas Cage is gonna show you how to suck a guy's cock.
-
Herzog can do no wrong, and you all know it. And with the right material/talent, Cage is a great actor.
-
Corrupt cops: Check
Cops snorting drugs and doing blow: Check
Cops feeling up hookers asses: Check
Cops threatening witnesses and civilians, especially elderly ones: Check
Cop going batnuts insane and hallucinating, seeing iguanas and souls dancing: check
Cop film directed by a director I like you who still takes chances: Check (Werner "Aguirre, Wrath of God" Herzog): check, and double check.
This meets all my criteria and then some. -
I think we have found the director for PAVLOV'S HOUSE.
-
Hooray!
-
And you're not even Harry! I hate the commentary on this site.... Everyone is so willing to dub things the best/worst thing ever based on absolutely nothing.
-
Actually made me water up a little. True story.
-
Its going to be a soo bad its good movies. I can feel it.
-
Why do you have to call it Bad Lieutenant, Werner? Just give it a different title, and let the original live in all of it's twisted glory.
-
hail Harvey and his pee pee.
-
This looks AMAZING. But when is the David Lynch / Herzog project going to get finished? And more importantly, will it be held up by a music label dispute?
-
Nicolas ... Uncaged!
-
Port of Call New Orleans sounds like a sequel to grand theft auto.
-
his soul is still dancing.okay that is the line of the year.... LOL!
-
That's like saying "ooo look isn't the Terminator Salvation trailer great, looks like a shoe-in for a best picture nom". You're a fuckin AICN writer! what the fuck!!
-
I wouldn't put it past Herzog to shoot completely retarded versions of scenes just to put together a fake trailer full of laughable garbage like this, while concealing the true impact of the film.
-
What Lynch/Herzog film?
-
I am a fan of B.L. and Abel Ferarra movies in general. The guy was an underrated master of independent & grindhouse style cinema (Driller Killer, King Of New York, Bad Lieutenant, The Addiction & Ms 45 are cult classics!)I don't understand the title of this movie at all. Keitel was shot to death at the end of Bad Lieutenant and this has nothing to do with that film. Why not just call it "Crack Cop" or "Loose Cannon" or some such thing. But I do like Herzog, so I'm there regardless.
-
This looks fucking AWESOME, and I don't mean in any kind of ironic way. Cage is back to the kind of crazy shit that he made his name with - Wild at Heart, Vampire's Kiss etc. Can't wait!
-
Great film that nobody saw.
-
http://tinyurl.com/cv7eyj Other sites have other/more info. I'm just happy to pass along the general info. I know it may sound like a FUCKIN DREAM COME TRUE but I guarantee it's legit!!!
-
sthis eriously looks like shit. - i'm in a good mood too, but i gotta be honest here.
-
Despite his recent run of lackluster films, I believe Cage still has it.And Herzog will own your ass.

Either the studio couldn't think what to do with the movie
by seppukudkurosawa
and told the trailer editor to make it look like Elmore Leonard on peyote, or...that's legit! I like it. If you listen to Herzog's commentary tracks or rewatch his movies, you can see he is one funny son of a bitch. What was his reaction after getting shot by an air rifle in the middle of an interview? Laughing it off. Hell, what better way to show the absurdity of America than by making a surreal, whacked-out crime film? Although, going on Herzog's appearance on the Henry Rollins show (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4i5WkkXdmc), I reckon Herzog's got a slightly more forgiving take on the US of A than he did back in the days of Stroszek. Speaking of Stroszek, I dug the use of that harmonica track from the final scene. I guess that whoopin' black man and his crazy harmonica will always be Herzog's touchstone when it comes to his impression of America.

by caruso_stalker217
Come on. This movie will own.
-
...And your sister be so low she sucked the dick of a tiny little maggot" Unfortunately, those who have only seen BL on DVD are not familiar with that song. Thanks to Zepp. Ironic, considering that their first album was filled with ripped off riffs.
-
His soul is still dancing.
-
It makes it sound like a fucking pirate movie...
-
This is going to be terrible....just terrible. And not in a good way, not a "So bad its good" way.
-
Loving that new hairpiece, tho!
-
If it were any other director, I'd have some reserved doubts about this bugnuts-looking trailer, especially given what's clearly going to be a stylized performance from Cage. But Jesus, it's Werner Herzog in full-on ecstatic weirdness! Count me in the moment it opens.
-
now every star wants to play a "bad guy", though i must admit, its the first Cage film in a long time that im ACTUALLY interested in. anything less a NC-17 would be shocking. depends if LITTLE NICK comes out.rating will be R but i guess it depends if they're going for laughs. original wasnt funtastic, being revolving around the rape of a nun and all.
-
seriously? ... yeah. that's all I got on this one. that clip has left me speechless, but not in that good way.
-
At least tell me Bubba Smith is involved??
-
Stop sucking Nic Cages dick people... the man has two speeds, and two speeds ONLY! 1)Nasal, and 2) Hand Flailing. He is one of he most OVERRATED untalented hacks in the industry. He got lucky with good casting early in his career, but the man SUCKS. This is the exact same character as 'Face Off', only you get to see him do more drugs. Wow... that's Oscar Material... no.. really.. it is.. (sigh) *face-palm* gimme a fuckin break.
-
I think Nicolas Cage needs to disappear for a few years, like COMPLETELY, then come back with a few small and very different roles so he can get some buzz around him again or something. Like 'AmericanMovieFan' said way up at the top, we've seen Cage do this shit before. We've seen him do everything he can possibly do. Which is why I suggest his forced sabbatical for a few years. Let the guy make a Travolta- or Rourke-esque comeback.

surprised no one has made a shitty remake/sequel to KING OF NY
by six demon bag
surprising. i htought all the gangstas would be up on that dick!!! or are they still worshipping Tony Montana??
-
Oh, I definitely can't wait.
-
is does he pull two girls over to provide them with a routine traffic violation and instead jerks-off while telling them to bend over and open their mouths respectively? Cause if he DOESNT jerk off to two girls in a car during a parking stop...I'm not sure I care.
-
Wow, that was was completely off my radar. I am so looking forward to it now.
-
I started to hate Cage's actting style. I'm sure I remember thinking he was cool when I was younger. For some reason, he just grates on me now.
As for Bad Lieutenant, I haven't seen it since I was 14 or something, is this guy meant to be a younger version of the same character? Or just another guy who happens to be a "Bad" Lieutenant?
I don't remember the first one being funny in a laugh out loud kinda way either. Not an Iguana in sight. If anything, it was a serious drama that had such twisted moments that it could make you laugh very briefly, in a "Fuck me that's insane" kinda way. -
Bad Lieutenant while watching this. According to Herzog, he's never even seen it. That being said, Herzog's been known to lie his arse off, so he probably has.
-
Of course I wasn't all that taken with the original.
-
I agree with the person who grumbled about this earlier. This looks like a completely different film with a new character and totally different tone. Why not just call it something else? I don't really see the point in cashing in on 'the brand' when the original has a fairly limited fanbase to begin with. Another symptom of the depressing reboot/remake culture we're suffering through this decade...
-
Along with Kurt Russell. He would have been a huge star if he made better choices but he is always good in what he is in.
-
Maybe I'll get flamed for saying this, but they were both extremely fun, entertaining, high quality flicks that you can easily watch time and again, in the tradition of Indiana Jones (minus that last entry. Of Jones, I mean...). And btw, this movie looks like garbage, despite the hyperbole-prone bloggers on this site who praise everything with the least bit of "geek appeal," or faux "geek appeal," for that matter, like it's the second coming. I come here for the movie news but am very turned off by every article expressing ridiculous amounts of enthusiasm for projects that look lackluster at best. Everything is "bugnuts insane" or some bullshit on this site, and every fucking headline has at least two exclamation marks after it. Why? Most projects, trailers, and rumors aren't deserving of even one, let alone two or three. Especially in that coaxial department, where quotes from shows like LOST, meant to be taken seriously are exaggerated so each one seems like the punchline to a joke, with a shitload of exclamation points after it: "SO I CAN KILL JACOB!!" Really? did Locke say that in his best Jerry Seinfeld impersonation, "Herc"? Ugh, makes me cringe. And don't even get me started on Harry. I don't even know what the guy looks like but his babbling makes me want to use his face for a trampoline.
-
i cant get enough of nic cage peddling away on his squeaky bicycle.
-
i think thats what a lot of people here are sort of skirting around with these comments. It's an angry, sometimes quite boring, melodrama with only one memorable thing about it. A disgusting, filthy, awesome main character played by the fucking brilliantly awesome Harvey Keitel. It's the only thing any one remembers. I'll bet no one in here can even tell me what Keitel's lieutenant was investigating in the original. I remmeber, but I just watched it a little over a year ago, but the point is, it wasn't important and I didn't care. I just wanted to see what fucked up shit he was gonna do next. It's not a good movie overall people, it's okay to just come out and say it. It has a shit story.
-
I thought Beaks was fucking kidding but this really looks awesome.
I can't figure out why they're going with such a "made for video sequel" title. This clearly has no connection to the Harvey Keitel film and it's not a remake. I guess Herzog must be a big fan of the original film. I wonder if he's shown it to Abel Ferrara yet... -
that is some of Kilmer's best work. This looks freaky enough to check out. Haven't wanted to see Cage in anything since Lord of War his last good movie.
-
Herzog needs to stick to nature films.
-
the original hardcore rapper
herzog is cool in my book...gets shot with an air rifle and carries on the interview. this looks watchable can't say im jizzing over it like derivative beaks tho -
In 2009, how exactly is this supposed to be edgy?

The biggest problems w/ National T. w/ the f/ing sidekick dude
by gqtaste
from Gigi. He has to be one of the most annoying motherfuckers ever portrayed in film. At least for me. And to the other dude above: the original Harvey T. was on the case of a nun getting raped. Harv played it balls to the wall and people weren't ready for that kind of truth imo. The parts where he masturbates to the two teenage girls. Gambling on the World Series Mets and Dodgers. Shaking down drug dealers taking their supply for himself. Shooting up that Convenience store to get those punks who stole money from the owner. And on and on and on...
-
"Show me how you suck a man's cock." To a scared girl and her friend he's threatening on the side of the rode while he jerks off.
vs
"That's my lucky crack pipe. What? You don't have a lucky crack pipe?"
Cage says to that deodorant commercial guy and his rasta homies.
Fuck this movie. -
are you sure about that schooly d thing? my region 1 dvd has that song intact.
-
his mind w/ another man and woman. While dancing busts into tears uncontrollably obivously having his emotions going on at that moment.
-
Sheet!
-
But that's fine. It looks like Cage's funniest movie since Vampire's Kiss.
-
I have the Artisan region 1 release and Schooly D's "Signifying Rapper" is completely missing. It should play around the 00:08 mark when Keitel arrives at the apartment building and the black teens scatter leaving Keitel to follow one inside. It should also be playing around 25:00 when Keitel arrives at the hospital for his visit to to the nun. It should also play as the first song over the end credits. Wikipedia claims all DVD releases are missing the song, so if yours has it, we need to talk!
-
It looks nothing like the original. Looks like a reimagining if I ever saw one, but the combination of Cage and Kilmer makes the far reaches of my brain do the chicken dance. I'll be there.

by anal inflictor
in exchange for letting her and her friend get out of a ticket? Will he bang two working girls at once? Let's kick this up a few notches and have him fuck two underage girls in the ass bent over a car on the street. That would be pushing it. This looks like Nic Cage acting like he's strung out whereas you believed that Harvey really was! I did like the Jack Bauer-style interrogation of the old ladies. Finally, I'm sorry Val/Batman #2, but you look like one of the human mutants from Planet of the Apes, my friend. The days of Iceman are gone forever.

It is good to see Cage go bonkers again, but some of this film seems awfully familiar. Tell me that the pharmacy scene doesn't reek of that scene in Matchstick Men.
-
Was there really any need to redux 'Bad Leiutenant'?? I met Abel Ferarra at last year's Cinevegas festival and he was freakin' PISSED about this movie being made. It looks totally different - but they should have changed the title.
-
1) having to take a shit or already have taken a shit in his pants; 2) about to cry. Two faces, that's it.
-
is definately missing the Schooly D song. I saw B.L. in the theater and was a fan of Schooly D at the time. I never understood why it was taken out of the film after the initial release. I was pissed that the song was not in any home format releases.
-
Because Port of Call in N.O. makes the best cheeseburgers in the universe. The synergy of my love of their beefgasms and my hatred for Nic Cage has created a swirling storm of glee in my brain. The clip looked insanely good, too, and it takes a fucking lot to make me look forward to a Cage movie.
-
Was he a cool guy? Is there any reason he doesn't make movies any more and where's the US release of The Addiction?
-
Is it me.... or does that look tv movie-quality? Maybe its just a low quality trailer.
-
In fact, they should come out with a new Bad Lieutenant every couple of years set in a different city. C'mon, there are so many ways to show corrupt, out-of-control cops who try to repent you could have six or seven good Bad Lieutenants.
I can't wait for Bad Lieutenant: Frozen Tundra of Fargo. -

Some of you sheep shit faces need to get a life and make up your own damn minds without being led by the fukken nose ring. Just because one reviewer says 'it looks good' you fall in line and say 'yup, yup it does it, does look good'.
-
had to be said
-
Are you serious? You don't think a movie looks good, so everyone else who sees potential in the material is automatically a "sheep shit face" who only thinks the movie looks good because a review said so? Seriously, that's the best you can come up with?
-
Come on, out of the 50-60 films he's made there are 10 legit fucking classics. He's just one of those guys who works A LOT. The difference between him and all the other batshit insane cult hero actors, is that his are starring roles, and come with a lot of exposure and backlash.
-
Nic Cage is a fukken hack. Not Herzog or even Wilder can change that. If Beaks had posted that it looks like typical Caged shit how many sleestak shitsuckers would be echoing his comments? Whole fukken lots of them.
-
And I mean That In a good way.
-
this movie DOES look like total rehash shit of all Cages previous 'crazy' roles.. and anyone who looks at this and declares it 'cool' is a sheep shit face. If the preview for this is THAT good to you, then you would likely be just as entertained by a slightly used plastic bag. Since I'm such a good guy though, I'll poke holes in it just in case you manage to get your head stuck in it and can't get your way free. That way you're assured the future opportunity to trump up a whole new generation of mindless lemmings desperate to hitch their wagon to anything even remotely smacking of 'underground' cult classic fandom.

Matchstick Men was my Last Favorite NicK Cage flick....
by theycallmemrtibbs
Hopefully This one's just as good
-
you can use those as shower caps. Nic Cage is a good actor. I'd like to see him actually acting again though. He can still do puzzle movies if he wants just throw in a good actory role now and again.
-
you fall in line and say 'yup, yup it does it, does look good'."
You honestly believe Beaks' blurb is what made me like that trailer? You are pretty far out on a limb with that one, dude. Yeah, before I laugh at something, I must first check to see if someone else laughed before me to see if it's alright. You're really sticking with that logic? There's only one good and one bad and no room for maneouvre and difference of opinion? Fascist much?
[This post has been passed by the Board Of Indie Coolness]. -
I call it like I see it. Cage is a hack who's best work is 15 years gone and who has been cashing a check to pay for his hair ever since. And most of the people who praise Herzog have no fukken clue what he has done that demands praise. You want to talk out your ass, I'll hand it to you. Bring it.
-
That's bullshit. Herzog DID see Abel Ferrara's version. There are 2 scenes that are straight out of the original Bad Lieutenant. Cage firing the gun and saying "don't you fucking move" is like the shoplifting/store scene with the teens and him pointing a gun to a passenger's head while behind the wheel is like when Keitel is driving the rapists to the bus station at the end. Whatever Werner. Never seen the original. Uh huh.
-
I actually believed you until I watched the trailer. Ugh. This looks like direct to DVD shit, but since it has Cage in it I am sure it will receive a contractually obligated theatrical release. I guess instead of getting rickrolled, I got "herzog'd" by Beaks. Good one, Beaks! I'll get you back one of these days!
-
I don't know what a "sleestak" is, but you sound like kind of a cocksucker.
This movie looks hilarious. -
If anyone would know what a cocksucker sounds like it would be you, you twice fukked piece of black rhino shit.
-
Same charachter, or another Bad Lieutenant? Confused. This looks worth renting though, whatever.

Eventually theyre gonna show too much and fucking ruin it for me.
Example: Last House On The Left, I still cant fucking believe they OUTLINED THE ENTIRE FUCKING MOVIE In the Trailer. -

And you just keep bobbing away 'yup, yup, tastes like chicken'
-
The man dealt with Klaus Kinski on a daily basis. Why is this called Bad Lieutenant anyway? It has nothing to do with the Kietel movie. Just call it "Castor Troy Joins The New Orleans Policeforce" Will this still have the five knuckle shuffle beside a pulled over car scene like in the original?
-
I am mortally wounded, really, that was so witty and well thought out. That rejoinder should be framed forever.
-
I wasn't really aiming for a comeback.
-
I hope this isn't lacking in the menace, uneasiness, and straight up nervousness one feels watching Keitel in the original.
-
Did the mean ol warrior fwighten snookums? Next time you want to fuck with the big boys, take your well used ass down to the Zoo and ask for the Black Rhino special. Fukken coward. Waste of my time.
-
but Liberal_Warrior=Warrior-Poet? He'd randomly jump into talkbacks with the most specious shit, and when he hooked a fish, he'd whack 'em on the head with some of his patented playground insults, things like "twice fukked piece of black rhino shit."
I'm thinking yes. How've you been, dude? -
I was kind of hoping that cunt got aids and died horribly a long time ago. I really hope it isn't him.
-
That looks really, really fun, both in a Herzog way and in a cheap DTV Ferrara-esque way.
-
Guess I'll go take my well used ass down to the Zoo now.
-
I was banned, so I came back with the underscore. The Warrior aint no damn poet. And my insults are 100% mine and mine alone - but anyone can feel free to use them on Motarded pieces of coward ass camel fukken sleestak shit like cry baby caruso paedo stalker
-
Think about it, won't you?
-
are all the same person. Here's a sample from one of his old posts:
"But perhaps you're the true retard in all of this because I can tell you're the kind of guy that likes to tuck the legs of farm animals into the top of his boots while he violates it. Now please go back to letting your sneaky uncle fist fuck you in the ass while you whistle sexual healing, you fuckstick."
Looks like he still hasn't shaken that obsession with animal sex. -
"Tuck the legs of farm animals into the top of your boots." Impressive. Most impressive.
-
that whole list of things you look for in a movie was awesome
-
"Castor Troy joins the New Orelans Police"
-
Just Gutless. The Warrior has never been anyone else. And my word of choice is Motard not retard -although you qualify on both counts Buckwheat. You must be kind of new around these parts. So learn fast dicklips, I was banned well over a year ago.
But I have always been the Liberal Warrior - you ass pickle. Funny you save quotes from someone though - he must have made you wet in the ass. -
...but I think I'm starting to like this guy.
I mean "wet in the ass." Who can argue with that shit? -
From WWF?
-
Nothing too overwhelming, but really good with a thrilling ending.
-
Guess that's a good sign for the movie. I'm looking forward to it!
-
Don't throw away blanket terms like how we are all sheep for listening to beaks. Truth is, I didn't even really read his story, I just hit play on the trailer and made my own opinion. Secondly, I didn't get excited by this film because of Cage, but because of Herzog (and yes, I know what the fuck Herzog deserves praise for).
Finally, why the fuck would you be so fucking obnoxious to strangers on the internet. Talk about picking fights were you don't have to back anything up, just smacks of being a big pussy. Not very "warrior" like if you ask me. -
The only thing missing in that list is cockpunching and titty bumps. Hopefully those were cut out of the trailer but still in the movie.
-
typical Nick "Doin Drugz" Cage overacting crap.
-
You only know this exists because i posted the link in the Christmas Carol TB.
-
This movie gets better and better with each passing moment.
-
it's just a trailer, dude. Trailers LIE.
-
and fuck this movie in the back of it.
i think that's a good thing.
ps. timothy treadwell is an american fucking hero and those who say otherwise can burn in hell.
when spirit stole his hat, that was fucking fantastic.
herzog is insane. tho i think wrath inferior to Cobra Verde! -
did someone pee in Liberal Warrior's cheerios this morning and tell him it was lemonade or somethingI have to admit though that trying to pick a fight with someone after they've said they're not looking for a fight is pretty funny...in a pathtic kind of way, but I laughed
-
is really what has me excited he looks to be back in good fighting shape, sporting some HEAT hair and some SPARTAN badassness...and Herzog's awesome too...and yes I've seen Herzog's work
-
just spotted at a laker's game sporting three chins?
-
to use similar scenes. Movies have "writers" that come up with "scripts". Writers live in basements and bachelor apartments and generally have enough free time and bandwidth to watch the movies they are trying to write remakes for. This movie looks awesome by the way. Leave it up to Herzog to use Nicholas Cage exactly as he's meant to be used.
-
I will be watching this for Kilmer only.
-
WHY THE FUCK did Herzog steal the cheesy vidcam from the Neveldine&Taylor boys? Did he have zero budget or what? The look, my friends, is shit. Just like Crank 2 is.
-
I was just saying that this is the best trailer I've seen since the Crank 2 R-rated trailer.
-
you studio plants can't fool me
-
Buttons was a huge load of turd.
I have proof. -
Three men end up with the last hotel room and are charged $30 for the night. They each pay ten dollars. They go to the room and it is destroyed because the cleaner never got to the room. For the inconvenience the hotel refunds them $5 for waiting for the cleaning of the room. Not able to split the $5 evenly, they decide to tip room service $2 and each man took $1. This means that each man ended up paying $9 for the room meaning that the room cost $27 totaling $29. What happened to the other dollar? Surely it couldn't disappear into thin air. Could it?

I'll have mine sunny side up! I'm there!

was a great movie. I hope this comes to small town Indiana.

..because everyone's list is different, but he certainly makes my list. I saw "Aguirre, Wrath of God" in college (checked it out of the library) and it just blew me away much like the Bicycle Thieves did. It is one of the those films, along with "Wolyzeck" and "Fitzcarraldo" which I saw right afterwards, which made me reassess what a film is supposed to be like.
Although I will be honest, I never was a fan of his Nosferatu. -
1) To answer whoever asked "what they were investigating in the first one", it was "nun rape". Nun rape. In fact, Keitel's character has a very vivid fantasy of this playing out during a crack binge. What they were investigating was besides the point, though, it was a character study. Written by the now-deceased Mrs. Ferrara, Zoe Tamerlis, the once and future Ms. .45.
To answer the Schoolly D question: Jimmy Page and Co. sued Schoolly D., the makers of BAD LIEUTENANT, etc. over the use of the "Kashmir" riff in "Signifying Rapper", though it made it through the original theatrical, VHS and laserdisc release before it was pulled and replaced by a song written and performed by Abel Ferrara's punk band. Which is complete bullshit, because a few years later, Page not only allowed Puss Daddy to use the "Kashmir" riff for that Godawful GODZILLA song, he played on it. I guess the whole "your father sells assholes door-to-door" bit hit too close to home for Zep. Anyway, Schoolly D is a god among men and the song deserves a legal release. Having it be the Bad Lieutenant's "theme" was pretty much the highlight of the movie. -
Pudding. I like it.
-
As soon as I saw "The Cage" get a mention I wanted to kill myself.*
The guy is terrible.
* = obviously not really -
Looks like a polished comedy version to me. Where's the grit? Where's the stench of hell? Looks very watchable though, and Cage looks on form for the first time in about ten years.
-
With Shia Labeouf in the Chris Walken role. But the whole film should last for 3 hours and done in one take with Shia having a case of the shits as he struggles for the duration of the movie to leave the bathroom.

We all complain about Hollywood remaking films and coming up with nothing original. But here is a "remake" that looks like is has nothing in common with the original movie except for the title and the basic premise of a bad cop losing it on drugs.
This is exactly what I want to see. I don't want verbatim remakes or bastardized versions of my favorite movies (like the Taking of Pelham 1-2-3), I want to films inspired by those movies. If Rob Zombie had done Halloween like this, keeping only the title and the basic premise of a killer stalking people on Halloween night, I would have been all for his movie.
And you can't even get upset about the title, there is enough difference there to let you know it is not ripping off Abel Ferarra's. This is it's own creature.
Now if I could just see Vice Squad: Hustlin' in Houston, directed by Mike Hodges, I am all there. -
Herzog can be touch and go. Everyone rates Fitzcarraldo, but I find it pretty one dimensional. Grizzly Bear was excellent though. for some reason I thought this would be a tame effort, but with Herzog directing I'm sure Cage felt compelled to bring his A-game
-
Its fucking terrible. Film could be fun though.
-
will somebody take Werner Herzog to meet Pixar?
please? -
words are funny backwards
-
Herzog? Cage? Bad Lieutenant? Seriously? Iguanas are more likely to be on my coffee table than for such a project to exist.
-
Even if Cage jerks off in the middle of a traffic stop, or even if Cage does a full-frontal weeping scene...it will still have a former rapper in the cast...
-
Going by the music...
-
"I vanted to traaa to do a bit of PALP FLICKZION style"
not his best, and I probably wont watch this, he should movie to European and keep an office in LA, not live there......he is becoming too LA. -
and still find a way to go over the top. Herzog needs to keep this particular simian on a very short leash. Let's have none of that "organ grinder trusting the monkey to behave" wishful thinking bullshit. Val Kilmer just might redeem it in spite of Cage's expected antics.
-
does Cage have a wank instead of issuing a traffic ticket? does he shoot a radio? does he refer to Christ as a "wrecked fuck"? does he dance around with his cock out? this doesn't look or sound like the Naughty Copper film Harvey made that we all love.
-
Walken having been smart enough to play Whitley Streiber as batshit insane.
-
FACT
-
I don't know if the movie will be any good, but I give this trailer seven million stars. A ++++++!
-
Not sure that's the intent, but least it looks funny bad rather than atrocious bad.
-
. . . why does anyone care? No-acting-talent musicians have been automatically put in movies forever now. And I can name plenty of rappers who can easily out-act Elvis and Sinatra.
-
I agree that Val Kilmer is an underrated actor. I loved his film Thunderheart which was a fun little film, and I think Val as Batman was not a bad casting job, you just needed a better script and Director. Still love Real Genius and Top Secret, as well as his Elvis from True Romance and Jim Morrison from The Doors. Even the Saint was not that bad. Hey Val and Nic should make a film about to Elvis Impersonators who witness a murder and have to go undercover in a small town so as not to get killed. Comedy gold.

-
Any TV "stars" of the week in it, too?
-
Just kidding. This looks kick ass.
-
Easy. The script was mediocre, at best. It's a very pale, very watered-down version of the original. Doesn't matter how good Cage is or how well Herzog directed it, there's a limit to how shiny you can polish a turd.
-
I'll watch it. Jeez. Get off my back, will ya?
-
I hurd you like CRACK.
-
So Cage's character gets into drugs to help dull his back pain which sends him on a downward spiral eh? What's wrong with just having him as an evil self-destructive bastard like Kietel's BL? This really should be called something else and not Bad Lieutenant... I can still remember the reaction in the audience watching the original BL when Kietel was bollock naked and crying, and at the 'you ever suck a guy's cock?' scene... the guy should have gotten a fucking Oscar for that movie...

The only version I've ever seen is the Schooly D version
by lanemyersclassic
That song, Signifying Rapper, playing over and over,driving relentlessly, perfectly synching with the brutal, out of control title character is how I remember the film. I cannot separate the two. That's how well it worked. And I'm not saying it's a great song - well, Kashmir is a great song. It's the hate-filled, fuck you urban spin that Schooly d added that makes it really work for the film.
-
I'll pass. Titbag gives me all the lunatic entertainment I need for free.
-
you know, because the original just SUCKED and it was directed by a such a HACK, and it was just talking and there was no CRACK...
-
IF THIS IS A REBOOT OF K-9, WHERE'S THE FUCKING DOG? AND WILL THEY GIVE JIM BELUSHI A WALK-ON?

I'VE REGISTERED ON AICN PURELY TO TELL YOU THAT YOU ARE A CUNT.

IT'S CLEAR THAT ONLY A SCANT FEW OF YOU ACTUALLY UNDERSTAND THIS. YOU SHOULD WEEP AT HIS BRILLIANCE YOU ASSHOLES.

Brad Pitt never looked sexier.
-
....PURE UNADULTERATED GENIUS. AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED, EVERY DIRECTOR EXCEPT HERZOG WORKING TODAY SHOULD HAVE BEEN KILLED AT BIRTH.
THE SAD PART? NONE OF YOU TWINKIES UNDERSTAND THIS. -

LOOKS LIKE A GOLD SPIDER. TRUE STORY, THAT.

The man made Fitzcaraldo with Klaus freakin' Kinski. He took a wooden ship over a mountain in the rainforest, for God's sake, with Kinski screaming and punching extras the whole way. He could do Ferrerra in his sleep...

or has Werner Herzog figured out a way to channel bad nicholas cage well?
-
So much for Avatar.
-
correct me if im wrong,,the nun wasnt fucking...more like laying there and taking it.NOW im going to hell.
-
he pulls over some underage girls and jerks off on their car door.
-
might be even the ebst trailer i have seen all year. Which in itselt deosn't mean much because trauilers this year look complete ass, with the exception of the trailers for Moon and District 9.Anyway, this is Werner Herzog. His bad day is far better then the best efforts of all the most beloved hack directors that AICn likes to suck their dicks on a regular basis, aka, Jay Jay Abrams and Michael Bay Denis for example. No, this is a movie to watch. And it seems Cage is back to his fun days of Vampyre's Kiss. Can't wait.
-
She dug it. Let's have lunch. In Hades.
-
Herzog didn't direct Troy. Wrong German.
It doesn't look like good Nicolas Cage is back from that trailer. But I hope he'll go full tilt and create an entire character soon. There aren't too many people who can do that. But I think he can. I'm gonna hold out hope that he will. -
Badlt is one of the best films ever. This looks strange and actually pretty funny. The name is terrible. Why is call it by the same name -
That's what it looks like to me. Kind of a parody of the original, a film near and dear to me. I too am conflicted by this movie. Love Herzog. Happy to see Nicholas Cage doing something interesting again. It may even be good. But, it seems like a much lighter, breezier take on the original. Which is sad, because the original's appeal to me is it's ridiculous over-the-top darkness. It's like Abel said "Fuck it! I'm going to deal with my Catholic issues in the most offensive way possible, and just see what happens..." To me, that gives the OG BL a little more weight. I admit, I do re-watch it because I think it's hysterical. But, not because it tries to be. That's the, gulp, charm of the original. This one looks like it may be trying too hard. We'll see.
-
this still looks good.
all hail timothy treadwell -
you watching New Jersey yet??? its getting good. one of them kidnapped somebody.. more NY reunion shit on tonight..
-
I LIKE YOUR LINE OF THINKING YOU FUCKING PEDO.
-
Shoo in for an Oscar!
-
Nosferatu, LIttle Dieter Needs To Fly, Fitzcarraldo, Aguirre. There aren't many who can top that.
-
Oh, Come on that's funny as fuck.
-
That tight little asshole looked mighty fine to me. Yes I am a pervert. Yes I love booty.
-
I want to know who the amateurs are, other than Tit. High fives all around.
-
The Italians do it right. Don't settle for less.
-
Yes, I got sucked into the Jersey show, couldn't fight it. Yet another weekly train wreck on my viewing agenda. Thanks for the reminder about the bonus reunion show.
-
For the love of all that is holy, are you talking about the Real Housewives of NJ?
-
Yes sir we are!
-
Bad Lt. + Leaving Las Vegas = Port of Call New Orleans. Psyched for this, but didn't need the "Ghost Rider" reunion with Eva Mendes (she has been ruining a lot of movies lately, despite that killer body).
-
But she is being directed by Werner Herzog, and if ther eis anybody who can pull kick ass performances from actors, that's him. Hell, he makes non-actors perform great in his movies. If i were you, i woundn't be worried about that.
-
is the soul is breakdancing!
-
is fucking STUPID. STUPID. he pulled a boat over a mountain by hand and lied to everyone saying it was based on a true story, when he just wanted to see himself if it could be done. I fucking love this man so much. he's like the gloomy saint of humanity's eventual extinction at the hands of our utter absurdity.
-
In case you noticed my post her,e i just wanted to thank you for your review of the movie "Moon". You made me want to watch that movie badly. I truly have good vibes about it, i think it might be one of the few truly good movies of this year. again, thank you. and you should write more for this site. It would be wise for the AICN guys if they hired you on a regular basis. I really ment that. Again, thanks for that very cool and well writen review.
-
Nic Cage, the action movie star, sucks. Nicholas Cage works with great directors that know how to use him and his particular brand of crazy. Nobody knows crazy like Herzog. Christ, look at who he called his best friend!
-
He called Kinski his best fiend.
-
Since no one else has mentioned it, the remains of Manc band New Order (minus bassist Peter Hook) are recording under the name Bad Lieutenant. Knowing is half the battle.
-
NO..their husbands work in construction. one of them was involved in a kidnapping and got arrested. you need to get on that shit. best tv ever. i thank my wife for introducing me to these nuts with money.

atta boy!!!

my favorite obscure movie quote of all time. Sometimes I take it too far and act out the shooting of the car radio. Freaks most people out, but there's always one person in the group who catches the reference.

Nice reference.

...YOU PATHETIC SHIT FOR BRAINS. YOU JUST WEREN'T WATCHING CLOSE ENOUGH. WATCH IT AGAIN AND FUCKING CONCENTRATE FOR ONCE. REPORT BACK WHEN COMPLETE.
-
What the hell kinda hyperbole is that mess? Oscar worthy? With that title? Bwaahahahhaahahahaa. Never happen. I wish Nicky the best, though.
-
I had search the trailer on google but it was worth it. herzog rules.

They have been missing for a few years now, I am very disturbed...
-
..for those of you dissing on Herzog, take a break from the japanimation and freaking out over some dumb Camron cgi shit, and watch some REAL movies.
Even the shitty Herzog flicks are 10000 times better then whatever graphic novel reboot you nerds are wetting yr pants over this week. -
watch Cobra Verde STAT! Also, check out My Best Fiend. Kinski was a kook.
-
One of Herzog's best movie, also one of his most underrated and almost forgotten.
-
I don't think we're getting the whole story with this trailer. I'm more excited about what Herzog's NOT showing us. But hey, just from what I've seen, I'm stoked as fuck.
-
This still is hard to believe that it's really happening. I mean, we're always joking around here with fake movie titles and shit. Here's one......BAD LEAUTENANT 2 WITH NICOLAS CAGE AND VAL KILMER. DIRECTED BY WERNER HERZOG.???????!!!!!!!
