FILM 1337: BAD LIEUTENANT: PORT OF
CALL NEW ORLEANS
TRIVIA: In a June 2008 interview
with The Guardian, Abel Ferrara,
who directed and co-wrote the original Bad Lieutenant (1992),
said that finding out his movie was being remade was "a horrible
feeling", "like when you get robbed", and that those involved in
this remake "should all die in hell". He also wondered how Nicolas Cage "can
even have the nerve to play Harvey Keitel",
and called screenwriter William M.
Finkelstein an idiot. Herzog responded that he had never seen the
original and had never heard of Ferrara.
Nicolas Cage claims that
he was never under the influence of anything throughout filming, in contrast to
Leaving Las Vegas (1995)
in which he got genuinely drunk to play an alcoholic.
According to the Werner Herzog, 2,400 cans
of decaf coffee had to be used to make the water appear to be river water in
the jail scene. They first attempted to use a paint, but it proved to be toxic,
then the production team used regular coffee, but the actor absorbed it through
his skin.
