Thoughts on Bad Lieutenant

[@dyldragon1]

"His soul is still dancing" is the greatest thing I've ever seen

[@deltoroperdedor3166]

dyldragon1 I bet whoever's done that scene actually had been on crack at some point prior to the filming

[@razorfistforce1]

Too bad it's a total rip off of the "What are the tampons for?" "To plug the fucking holes" shoot out scene near the beginning of Abel Ferrara's "King Of New York" (minus the stupid break dancing). Herzog doesn't know who Ferrara is....gimme a freakin' break.

[@jamesonjaksch4883]

Herzog directed a film in 1977 called Stroszek where at the end the main character turns on this box with a dancing chicken inside of it, just before getting into a cable car and shooting himself with a shotgun. The chicken continues to dance after he kills himself and the camera stays on the chicken until it goes into the credits. The same music thats used in Bad Lieutenant is used in this scene. I dont really get it but I have a theory. The movie is about a man moving from Germany to America with practically no money expecting to live the American dream. Dont really remember much about the plot of the film but i know that his girlfriend ends up leaving him, he loses his job and the mobile home he was living in gets auctioned off. After this he kills himself. I think the chicken is supposed to symbolize how straining and cruel America and its capitalism is, how it keeps on doing the same thing and no one tries to change anything even after atrocities or disasters happen that could have clearly been stopped. It should also be mentioned that a cop who arrives on the scene after the man shoots himself reports something to dispatch along the lines of "theres a dead man in the cable car and I cant get this chicken to stop dancing". I think that line drives my theory home even more. Ok well thank you for listening to my essay, I was bored as fuck. Thats what i think the meaning in Stroszek is, but as for the meaning with the dancing dude in Bad Lieutenant i have no clue. Just hopefully that explains why the scene was put in the movie.

[@chillepalmerz]

minus the break dancing? the break dancing is the biggest reason why it's the greatest scene ever. Well the harmonica blues song, and the iguana walking by seals the deal

[@Jcolinsol]

The thing with Port O' Call Nawlins is, he's not really a bad cop, he's a good cop that's broken. He literally breaks his back trying to rescue someone in the opening sequence, which results in his addiction to painkillers in the movie proper. He's trying to manage his impossible job, with a broken body, and a growing drug addiction, and it becomes a kind of heroic endeavor. Really weird movie, which is classic Herzog.

[@alejandrobolin5224]

Werner Herzog literally made a movie about a group of midgets crucifing a monkey. In the very same movie, actors would continuously get injured so to avoid it, Herzog literally told them that if they started taking more precautions, he would jump into a cacti and he would allow them to film it, spoiler alert: they did so. Saying that mf is crazy is the understatement of the century.

Or Aguirre The Wrath Of God

[@Trunks1200]

I mean it’s a bit of an over statement, but more than half of his films are docs

[@skullsaintdead]

@@Puragus Aguirre is one of the best films of all time, imo. Perfectly depicts the descent into madness brought about by greed. The scene at the end with the monkeys and Kinski on the boat - wow (also, Werner saved those monkeys from going to America by pretending to be a vet and unloading them at the airport into his Jeep to be used in the film, then released back into the wild). Apparently Werner and Klaus Kinski fought all the time, though they were close friends. They're both pretty mad (see below): "From the beginning of the production, Herzog and Kinski argued about the proper manner to portray Aguirre. Kinski wanted to play a "wild, ranting madman", but Herzog wanted something "quieter, more menacing". In order to get the performance he desired, before each shot Herzog would deliberately infuriate Kinski. After waiting for the hot-tempered actor's anger to "burn itself out", Herzog would then roll the camera. On one occasion, irritated by the noise from a hut where cast and crew were playing cards, the explosive Kinski fired three gunshots at it, blowing the tip off one extra's finger.[5] Subsequently, Kinski started leaving the jungle location (over Herzog's refusal to fire a sound assistant), only changing his mind after Herzog threatened to shoot first Kinski and then himself. The latter incident has given rise to the legend that Herzog made Kinski act for him at gunpoint. However, Herzog has repeatedly denied the claim during interviews, saying he only verbally threatened Kinski in the heat of the moment, in a desperate attempt to keep him from leaving the set. The incident is parodied in Incident at Loch Ness, which Herzog co-wrote."

[@friendlypup5650]

10:59 I like to think the actor here cracked up because what he was doing was improvised but remembered he was supposed to be a professional actor so he kept going

[@quanticprophecy]

Thank you so much for the scene with the old ladies. Crazy funny especially the electric razor bit. And the guy who steals the scene at the end is Shea Whigham who was in Agent Carter where he also stole the show. That show is arguably the best thing marvel has done. It's also made better by the fact that there are absolutely no super heroics.

I think Cage has a certain technique when it comes to the movies he does today. When he is doing a pretty shitty movie to just pay off some of his debt, he goes bats hit insane to at least give us some entertainment. When it is a good movie with a good director and a solid script, he tries to give a solid performance. That is what I see though. It could be different. For the Bad Lieutenant remake, I wouldn't really call it horrible in my opinion. I wouldn't call it good either. I would call *odd*. It is kind of a acid trip without the acid.

[@Derek_Smallshorts]

Herzog's film was definitely meant to be a comedy. I saw a retrospective of his stuff at the BFI in London a couple of years ago having been a fan for years, but only having watched most of his classic movies like Aguirre, Fitzcarraldo and Strozeck on DVD. They're all pretty dark, of course, but when you see them n the big screen, their absurdest humour is far more evident. The Enigma of Kasper Hauser is hilarious. Funnily enough, this Halloween, a friend who works at Home in Manchester took me to see a load of silent horror films for free and one of them was Der Golum, and Bruno S. in The Enigma of Kasper Hauser was definitely channelling that film with his performance. Incidentally, Herzog 1979 remake of Nosferatu is one of the few remakes far superior to the original. His remake of Bad Lieutenant started as a script simply called "Port of Call New Orleans," but the producers owned the rights to the title Bad Lieutenant and slapped the title on it, which Herzog protested, but in the end didn't have any say in the matter.

[@franciscocannalonga7884]

Boy, i like your channel so i'll try to be polite. Let's put it this way: You have A LOT of research to do. Saying that Werner Herzog is just a "famous documentary director" is borderline ridiculous. Werner Herzog was one of the greatest representatives of the 60-70's German New Wave, alongside Wim Wenders and Rainer Werner Fassbinder (arguably the greatest movie director of all times) and his work exercised alot of influence over the work of the great New Hollywood directors like Scorsese, Coppola, Friedkin, so on and so on. So you should really check Herzog's early work like Aguirre, Fitzcarraldo, Strozeck, Heart of Glass, The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser, etc. Cheers.

[@derpyboi8591]

Wow someone sure is an uptight keyboard warrior. Your "favorite German new wave" director makes mostly documentary styled movies, get the fuck over it. Side note considering I've both never heard of those directors or their movies then it's pretty easy to point out that they clearly aren't even close to "best director of all time" considering Kubrick, Spielberg, Hitchcock and others are literally household names from their multiple amazing movies. If you like a director and most of the time his movies that's fine, but clearly you're in the minority considering non of those people are well known. In short, if you're so butthurt about it, just go away and don't waste time in the comments trying to sound like a pretentious movie hipster

FITZCARRALDO is his opus, full stop. Perhaps you'll enjoy his other work more than in this particular instance Hope you might consider giving them a chance!

Bad Lieutenant 2 is the greatest movie ever

Filth is really underrated
