Exclusive! Check out this awesome rejected BAD LIEUTENANT: PORT OF CALL NEW ORLEANS poster!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. My favorite movie at Telluride was probably Werner Herzog's reimagining/rebooting/fucking crazy BAD LIEUTENANT: PORT OF CALL NEW ORLEANS. I gushed about it here if you remember.
Well, after that review I was visited by a trippy little iguana. He danced for me, puffed up his throat to show agitation if I tried to look away and then stared deep into the pit of my soul for a good half an hour. I passed whatever test this creature was putting me through because I was rewarded with this below image, much like a dog is rewarded for not shitting on the carpet.
My new pal, insisting on being called Iguana Don, told me the MPAA didn't like this poster because they cringe at posters that have someone actually pointing a gun at someone else... you can hold a gun in your hand (especially if you're an angel, then you can have a knife, too) but point it at someone and that's crossing the fucking line, my friend.
So, in all likelihood this is the only chance you're going to see this poster. Am I alone here or would this make an awesome series of posters? You know, take crazy-awesome Nic Cage scenes from this movie... the Iguana stare-down, the dancing soul, the pharmacy scene... and transform them into posters with this style?
All I know is after seeing this movie I wish I had this poster in full movie poster 27X40 size framed on my wall. I hope you like it as much as I did.
Thanks, Iguana Don. I look forward to your next visit. Just don't bite my toes this time. I'm still picking those scabs off, you dirty little bugger!

COINCIDENCE! Just saw 'Bad Lieutenant' for the first time....!
by hint_of_smegma
What a fucked up, great little flick that was. Harvey Keitel might well have a tiny little ding-a-ling, but he's got balls the size of Mars. So unless in this re-imagining Cage actually pulls his sack out, walks up to the car with the two girls and makes them both lick it like elbow-skin ice-cream, how on earth can this possibly beat it for WTF value.....I await with baited breath.....if anyone can do batshit crazy well, it`s Cage. Officially looking forward to this.
-
It doesn't offend me but it just seems like a total waste of time to put it together. "Look he menaces the elderly and minorities. He's BAAADDD." It's bullshit. I would also wager that this is like the low point of the movie where you as a viewer are supposed to go, "OK now he is out of control." So this poster is a still frame spoiler. Just a guess.
-
cause the bad guy's gonna get his ass whipped if it is.
-
He's an OK actor who obviously doesn't care about his image, which means he can take whacky roles like this that any other actor would look ridiculous in. I mean, what else can you ask for? Besides, anyone who goes into GHOST RIDER or NATIONAL TREASURE expecting a good movie should know better.
-
He is fucking awesome. Wild at Heart, Red Rock West, Bringing Out The Dead, 8mm, Raising Arizona - he`s a superb actor when he gets the right material. He just picks a lot of shit films to do where he`s phoning it in for the paycheck too. And even they can be a lot of fun.

-
Right or wrong, it isn't really hard to understand. He's a (admitted) wannabe Elvis who tries too hard to be cool, chooses shitty roles, and has a tendency to revert to acting like Castor Troy in almost any film he's in. If he only sucked, he'd be dismissed out of hand as a hack. But since we've seen him shine so bright in films like Raising Arizona, Leaving Las Vegas, or Adaptation, it just seems like he makes the decision to turn the roles he takes into jokes, because we all know he could do so much better. Thus the hate.
-
That is good shit.
-
This poster is so f-ing sick it's unbelievable. I'm using this as my screensaver for a while to come. Check my reviews at http://justoknows.blogspot.com/ Thanks dudes.

AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
I heard they're making a film called 'The Godfather: port of Philadelphia.
-
I MISSPELLED "NOT"! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
How'd you like to be PISSING BLOOOOOOOOODDDDDDDDDDDDD???!!!!!!??????
-
come the release of this movie, this would be great huddling for warmth alongside Raising Arizona and Adaptation in eye of the shitstorm that is all his other work. Also, millenium films chucking loot Herzog's way is awesome, what with Rambo V and the Expendables coming up they are making a lot of great shit happen. I'll be keeping my eye out for these pimps in the future
-
Whoopi Goldberg in this?
-
he obviously gotta eat.
-
"You show me your ass. You mime sucking a cock. Lick the tip you faggot!!" Val tugging on his shit in the street, but he has his pinky extended because he is a classy guy. Bloated, but classy.
-
And what's with the old lady? Is she laughing?
-
setting up my shitty pun? read posts faggot
-
I didn't read your shitty pun. Bitch.
-
...shite.And that;s speaking as a Herzog fan.Ferrara's no doubt looking forward to spinning in his grave.
-
which is really weird. I don't know why the hell they chose to keep the same name as Ferrarra's film. Herzog said they are not similar at all. Looks fucking hilarious though.
-
..of this movie. Cage is sitting bitch on this one between lizards and his hairpiece. Magnum Opus summed it up. He is better than his choices. You never know if you'll get gold or a turd
-
A Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas vibe to it. Cage might be a weird motherfucker but it might pay off in this movie. To bad it will probably get a limited release.
-
. . . "Bad Lieutenant: Terror at the Old Folk's Home."
-
You got to eat at a restaurant called Port of Call they have the best burgers ever! But this movie looks really great.
-
If Harvey isn't interested, neither am I. What the hell ever happened to Abel Ferrerra anyway? He had a hell of a career kicking off with this, Body Snatchers and The Addiction. Then he just dissapeared.
-
Nic Cage is looking more and more like a wayward muppet.
-
bad lieutenant! that's so naughty.
-
And that guy with the gun is the line judge.
-
Trailer Park Boys: Countdown to Liquor Day, comes out on the 25th. Christmas in September boys.
-
who just discovered the filter tab in photoshop.
-
Herzog sucks!
-
That just plain kicks ass. If this flick turns out to be awesome, I'll search high and low for this poster.
On a side note, how did they get Eddie Murphy on such a bad-ass poster? Is he really in this film? I thought his career was over. But NOW, I dunno!!! -
but I'd have to agree that that's indeed a fact.
-
I'd like to see any of you fucks make something as good as ANY of his films.
-
hairpiece looks shit.
-
The idea of him making a Bad Lieutenant remake with Nic Cage has been enough to keep my smiling for the last two weeks. Cannot fucking wait for this to hit a screen near me.
-
Eddie's gonna be the Riddler in the next Batman flick. Nolan confirmed it 5 minutes and 28 seconds ago.
-
I don't think this happens naturally: http://tinyurl.com/pcvo8j

and supposedly 'H.R. Pufnstuf' wasn't inspired by narcotics.

Alright. The reasons why this movie pisses me off...
by cheyne_stoking_dms
I could make a few more "Cage hair jokes", but I could also go to bed. I'm not this kind of tb'er either. It's taking the good name of an already underappreciated classic. Abel Ferrara's like the pocket watch of Film Directors. I guarantee all they're going to do is turn it into the yearly standard crime/drama when 'Bad Lieutenant' was much more than that. As gritty as they come and yet had a strong moral presence. All the Catholic symbolism (trademark Ferrara) will be tossed away. I believe it was Keitel at his finest too. If they ever decided to remake a certain Ferrara movie that rhymed with "The Sling of New Pork" I swear I'll explode and stab the next guy I see downtown in a suit.

Ask yourself if Cage could honestly pull this off:

-
Harvey did a spectacular job. I guess this new one is more of a dark comedy than a tragic tale.
-
When he wants to be. Those that say he is a talentless hack are fucking idiots. Sure the guy makes alot of shit but he is the only guy in hollywood that can pull of movies like lord of war.
-
Mongols...not to be mistaken with mongoloid,like the actor Nicolas Cage..
-
or save it for the DVD. It's great. I wish movies had more "fun" and imaginative posters/covers like this. I get so tired of seeing the same old collage of serious closeups of the actors. Every dvd box looks the same.
-
celebrate
-
Is Firebirds 2?
-
Fucking political correctness cripples creativity yet again.
-
In response to heatstorm.
-
But i can understand why that poster didn't wetn ahead. Nic Cage has in all his contracts that at least the domestic posters of the mvoies he makes cannot feature him holding a gun. He insists on that, it's a major thing for him, him not holding a gun in a movie poster for the american market. He feels it's his socially conscience thing to do. Any movie psoter of one of his movie dhe is shown holding a gun, it was not approved by him and managed to got away in some legal loophole.
-
People should and ought to expect to watch a good movie if they pay for it. It's basic econimics, to have the product match the price tag. All else is fraud. People who pay to watch a movie and don't expect quality good movie are people with too much money in their wallet and too little brain in their skull.
-
Not that interesting.
Maybe if granny was sucking his pecker.
-
Fuck Cage and no gun. What bullshit.
If he had ANY social conscience he would STOP MAKING SHITTY MOVIES! -
Berry and Fulcher do segments on the British ratings board. They laugh and chuckle at extreme violence and perversion, but cancel at minimal animal violence. Like a Mosquito being swatted.
-
yes.
-
the long awaited versionof Donald KKauffman's "The 3".
Too bad Herzog sucks so much though. -
"Herzog sucks" is one of the most stupid things a movie geek could ever say. In fact, no movie geek would ever say that. You are as real as a 3 dollars bill.
-
Seems kinda like a shitty poster to me.
-
Bad composition, poorly positioned text, standard Photoshop filter effect - rejected more for being an ugly poster than its content.
-
That's one of the worst posters I've ever seen. And calling Herzog a shitty filmmaker either means you're a troll, or know jack shit about film.
-
repurposed to promote Obamacare. No death panels my ass!
-
Because it's not. It's awesome in it's "i don't give a fuck" attitude. It's complete punk ass!
-
my girlfriend is reading a thriller at the noment called 'The 3' - soon to be a major motion picture!

fucking terrible too.
-
Don't get it though. The HALLOWEEN 2 poster has Michael IN THE ACT of killing a girl, with a fistfull of her hair, but this is too intense for them? This shit is so subjective.
-
Somebody gotta tell those blimpish fuckers that we live in the 21st century.
-
If it has one of his famous over the top performances along with it being campy as hell. Like this poster is hinting at, it might be like on of those car crash films. Like you are driving in a freeway, there is a crash, and you just can't keep your eyes off it kinda thing. Anybody here seen Street Kings? It was funny just to see Forrest Whitaker yelling and sweating his performance with his trademark lazy eye. Funny shit.

They write:
This is an open letter to all Michael Bay fans. We are three crew members that have worked with Michael for the past ten years. Last week we read the terrible article with inflammatory, truly trashing quotes by the Ms. Fox about Michael Bay. This letter is to set a few things straight.
Yes, Megan has great eyes, a tight stomach we spray with glycerin, and an awful silly Marilyn Monroe tattoo plastered on her arm that we cover up to keep the moms happy.
Michael found this shy, inexperienced girl, plucked her out of total obscurity thus giving her the biggest shot of any young actresses' life. He told everyone around to just trust him on his choice. He granted her the starring role in Transformers, a franchise that forever changed her life; she became one of the most googled and oogled women on earth. She was famous! She was the next Angelina Jolie, hooray! Wait a minute, two of us worked with Angelina – second thought – she’s no Angelina. You see, Angelia is a professional.
We know this quite intimately because we’ve had the tedious experience of working with the dumb-as-a-rock Megan Fox on both Transformers movies. We've spent a total of 12 months on set making these two movies.
We are in different departments; we can’t give our names because sadly doing so in Hollywood could lead to being banished from future Paramount work. One of us touches Megan’s panties, the other has the often shitty job of pulling Ms. Sourpants out of her trailer, while another is near the Panaflex camera that helps to memorialize the valley girl on film.
Megan has the press fooled. When we read those magazines we wish we worked with that woman. Megan knows how to work her smile for the press. Those writers should try being on set for two movies, sadly she never smiles. The cast, crew and director make Transformers a really fun and energetic set. We’ve traveled around the world together, so we have never understood why Megan was always such the grump of the set?
When facing the press, Megan is the queen of talking trailer trash and posing like a porn star. And yes we’ve had the unbearable time of watching her try to act on set, and yes, it's very cringe-able. So maybe, being a porn star in the future might be a good career option. But make-up beware, she has a paragraph tattooed to her backside (probably due her rotten childhood) — easily another 45 minutes in the chair!
So when the three of us caught wind of Ms Fox, pontificating yet again in some publication (like she actually has something interesting to say) blabbing her trash mouth about a director whom we three have grown to really like. She compared working with Michael, to “working with Hitler”. We actually don’t think she knows who Hitler is by the way. But we wondered how she doesn’t realize what a disgusting, fully uneducated comment this was? Well, here let’s get some facts straight.
Say what you want about Michael – yes at times he can be hard, but he's also fun, and he challenges everyone for a reason – he simply wants people to bring their ‘A’ game. He comes very prepared, knows exactly what he wants, involves the crew and expects everyone to follow through with his or her best, and that includes the actors. He’s one of the hardest working directors out there.
He gets the best from his crews, many of whom have worked with him for 15 years. And yes, he’s loyal, one of the few directors we’ve encountered who lowered his fee by millions to keep Transformers in the United States and California, so he could work with his own crew.
Megan says that Transformers was an unsafe set? Come on Megan, we know it is a bit more strenuous then the playground at the trailer park, but you don’t insult one of the very best stunt and physical effects teams in the business! Not one person got hurt!
And who is the real Megan Fox? She is very different than the academy nominee and winning actors we’ve all worked around. She’s as about ungracious a person as you can ever fathom. She shows little interest in the crew members around her. We work to make her look good in every way, but she's absolutely never appreciative of anyone’s hard work. Never a thank you. All the crewmembers have stopped saying hi to Ms. Princess because she never says hello back. It gets tiring. Many think she just really hates the process of being an actress.
Megan has been late to the sets many times. She goes through the motions that make her exude this sense of misery. We’ve heard the A.D’s piped over the radio that Megan won’t walk from her trailer until John Turturro walks first! John’s done seventy-five movies and she’s made two!
Never expect Megan to attend any of the 15 or so crew parties like all the other actors have. And then there's the classless night she blew off The Royal Prince of Jordan who made a special dinner for all the actors. She doesn’t know that one of the grips' daughters wanted to visit their daddy’s work to meet Megan, but he wouldn’t let them come because he told them “she is not nice."
The press certainly doesn’t know her most famous line. On our first day in Egypt, the Egyptian government wouldn’t let us shoot because of a permit problem as the actors got ready in make up at the Four Seasons Hotel. Michael tried to make the best of it; he wanted to take the cast and crew on a private tour of the famous Giza pyramids. God hold us witness, Megan said, "I can’t believe Michael is fucking forcing us to go to the fucking pyramids!" I guess this is the “Hitler guy” she is referring to.
So this is the Megan Fox you don’t get to see. Maybe she will learn, but we figure if she can sling insults, then she can take them too. Megan really is a thankless, classless, graceless, and shall we say unfriendly bitch. It's sad how fame can twist people, and even sadder that young girls look up to her. If only they knew who they're really looking up to.
But ‘fame’ is fleeting. We, being behind the scenes, seen em’ come and go. Hopefully Michael will have Megatron squish her character in the first ten minutes of Transformers 3. We can tell you that will make the crew happy!

I actually agree with the MPAA, but for different reasons.
by royston lodge
Pointing a gun in a movie poster makes your movie look like its going to be a straight-to-VHS piece of shit. It's a cop-out. It looks stupid. It looks cheap. It looks like you've just graduated from film school and you want everybody to see how bad-ass you are, even though you're actually a rich douche from the suburbs whose daddy can afford to send you to film school.
It's stupid stupid stupid to try to market a film by showcasing the gun in the poster.
Unless it's a really badass-looking gun, and it's being wielded by a robot.

I just re-read my post and noticed it could be interpreted that way. TWAS NOT MY INTENTION!!! -
Even though I'm not the biggest fan of Cage, I can appreciate his ( albeit infrequently seen) acting ability. It just takes a little effort to sort through all the shit.

I don't get it?
-
I know someone that worked on both films, and he/she said pretty much the same thing. In this day and age of spoiled, entitled, graceless youths, doesn't surprise me a bit. I live right near UCLA and I can tell you for certain that college kids today are for the most part immature little brats. It's shocking how different that place was when I went there. Sure, we partied, but we were also friendly and generally very polite to the non-students that live in Westwood.
Not any more, they aren't. -
...he shaves he freaking head! Please Nick, grow up - it's ok!
-
he morphs into a guy with a new name and some more range as an actor.
-
If he does have it in his contracts that he can't be pictured holding a gun in the posters for his movies, then I've just gained some respect for the guy. I'd do the same if I were in the position to be pictured in movie posters.

Seriously, just a cartoonishly stoopid image, and I don't mean rendering style. This project has "ultra-fail" written all over it. I love NC in Raising Arizona and several others, but jeez, dood, I'd rather see you in Ghost Rider 2 than this...
-
It's a terrible image with an even worse Photoshop effect. It screams amateur. I've seen fake posters that look miles better.
