@ BEN
if they didnt want to be compared, dont call it “bad lietenant” … call it something else like “crack cop” or “pain in the back” … but even then i would have seen the similarities and called herzog out on ripping off the abel ferrera movie.
comparsions is part of learning right?? .. you dont eat a piece of dog shit and then come back for seconds expecting it to taste like cotton candy, well maybe you do. but i dont. im a rational human being.

I’ve been waiting forever for this film to come out for rent since you guys talked about it from TIFF? I think it was. Now I really want to see it.

I wonder if any scenes in the new one even live up to the scene in the original where Keitel pulls over the 2 girls. Probably not.

Loved this film ! Old horseface doing what he does best, and putting in one of his best ever performances. Fearless, mad, manic, funny and unique. Hertzog seems unable to put a foot wrong. This is the film Jim Jarmusch has been trying to make all his life.

Movie was total crap. Everyone hyped it up so much I thought it was gonna be good…at least decent. This was just totally retarded. Had no real story. Made up of small schizophrenic vignettes. Herzog showing us a very generalized vision of a bad cop. Ooooh he is bad. He runs around and does tons of crack for no reason and gets blow jobs and has a hooker girlfriend and he still gets promoted. That’s how the US is. Movie was completely laughable.

@Blah

Why does everything have to be a comparison with people online??? Why can’t they just enjoy things for what they are. Is this as good as the other BL(I say “other” because “original” isn’t really accurate in this case)? Not really. But how about you try and judge the movie on what it is and not on what it isn’t

did anybody see the original?
1,000,000 times better
cage is dull compared to the downward spiral that keitel brings to the first movie.
worst herzog film ever
if you guys like this movie, you must be on crack

One thing I wasn’t anticipating was how hilarious I found some parts of this movie.

“Snorted some heroin, thought it was coke”.

“Where’s the kibble?”

LOLTASTIC.

I’ve never seen a movie that spends this much screentime with people smoking crack.

I re-watched this film last night and i gotta say watching it twice definitely helps highlighting the dark humor of this well crafted almost-masterpiece.. . i had a smile painted upon my face the whole time..
The aggressive use of reptiles on the film is not just because of Herzog love for animals its also used to balance the aggressive reptilian performance of Nic cage… It gives to the film an additional self parodying layer..
We must point out though, Sean, that the image quality of this Blue Ray isn’t the greatest.. I wouldn’t say it takes away from the film as a whole.. But i don’t know.. something definitely felt wrong to me..

Just watched this today. Glad I did, Nic Cage gets a lot of crap but the dude has made some great films. Not surprising is that most of his good films have good directors.
