60 of 199 · most liked firstWatch the Japanese trailer for director Takashi Miike's BAD LIEUTENANT: TOKYO. Premieres tonight at the Toronto International Film Festival. A disgraced Tokyo detective spirals into a world of corruption, addiction, and violence as he becomes entangled in a twisted investigation.
neutral · AI labelView post →Kind of similar but distinct to the related mini-genre that BAD LIEUTENANT: PORT OF CALL NEW ORLEANS is in where it's a movie written as a serious drama that the director thinks is stupid and instead plays as a comedy
neutral · AI labelView post →I am finally watching Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call: New Orleans and I'm only a half hour in, and I don't want to exaggerate. But I think it might be the best movie ever made
positive · AI labelView post →I love the idea of a new Bad Lieutenant movie every couple of decades made by a different gonzo director
positive · AI labelView post →Takashi Miike has made several films I really like but I've watched enough of his work to know he's extremely hit or miss. I'm pretty ambivalent about the world's need for a third Bad Lieutenant film. But it was written by the dude who wrote The Eel, and Audition, and 13 Assassins.
neutral · AI labelView post →The knowledge that Takashi Miike is making a Bad Lieutenant movie is what is getting me through today
positive · AI labelView post →Now watching: Bad Lieutenant
neutral · AI labelView post →You know what, I'm on board with every 15 years letting whatever completely unhinged director add to the mythos of this bizarre series. Looking forward to Fede Alvarez' Bad Lieutenant movie starring Pom Klementieff in 2038.

neutral · AI labelView post →Nothing like a blast of a full-on Catholic guilt trip to start the day, and Abel Ferrara and Harvey Keitel's Bad Lieutenant is still a benchmark film in the corrupt cop genre with a huge performance from Keitel; brand new in 4K UHD from @101filmsuk.bsky.social. 4/4 film-authority.com/2025/08/21/b...

neutral · AI labelView post →Someone should let Jane Schoenbrun make a third BAD LIEUTENANT movie
neutral · AI labelView post →This is becoming my favorite film series. Just a bunch of disconnected films loosely joined by a title and a vibe. I want every director to make a Bad Lieutenant film set in some city they love.
positive · AI labelView post →I’m such a baseball sicko that I watched Bad Lieutenant and took notes on the fictional 1992 Dodgers/Mets NLCS that took place in the background of the film
neutral · AI labelView post →ALL THAT JAZZ (1979) is a dance movie in the way that BAD LIEUTENANT (1992) is a police procedural

neutral · AI labelView post →Cage is also really great in Peggy Sue Got Married, Con Air, Adaptation (of course), Mom and Dad, Lord of War, Bad Lieutenant… but mostly the thing I like is that when he shows up in a movie I basically do not know what will happen
neutral · AI labelView post →Never thought I would see a BAD LIEUTENANT film set in Japan directed by Takashi Miike and starring Shun Oguri and Lily James. Yet here we are.
neutral · AI labelView post →Every director should make one Bad Lieutenant movie in a different city
neutral · AI labelView post →Happy #LetterboxdFriday! What's YOUR #LastFourWatched? 📽️ Bad Lieutenant POC New Orleans was the standout for me this week. Cage at his Cage-iest, "sheet him again, his soul is still dancing" will stick with me. I thought Backrooms was pretty mid, sorry fans. Movie just sort of... ends.
positive · AI labelView post →My ★★★★★ review of Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call – New Orleans on @letterboxd.social : boxd.it/e4T5KB
positive · AI labelView post →Watched Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans last night in honor of Val Kilmer. It's more Nic Cage's movie, but I care not. It's a great film and the edible was very strong so those iguanas on my fucking table were a welcome sight.
positive · AI labelView post →I'm SORRY there's a new Bad Lieutenant being directed by TAKASHI MIIKE????
neutral · AI labelView post →I like how Bad Lieutenant: Tokyo is coming out 17 years after the previous movie, which came oit 17 years after the first one. It’s like the Before films if they had basically nothing to do with each other.
neutral · AI labelView post →Saw Bad Lieutenant 1 and 2. Liked the Herzog film better. But I like dark comedy with superimposed iguanas that look like they were shot by an 8-year-old. Keitel was great in 1 but parts went torture porn which I know was purposeful but…2 makes you think it’s a reboot, then goes wholly other places.
positive · AI labelView post →Love that every 17 years a new renegade auteur gets to take a crack at a BAD LIEUTENANT movie. Hell yes.
positive · AI labelView post →Such a bizarre movie. 9 years before Bad Lieutenant, Harvey Keitel plays a short-fused, Machiavellian and altogether deeply unpleasant narcotics detective whose corrupt shenanigans are catching up to him against the backdrop of serial killings of cops in the city. Johnny Rotten as his foil! Grim.

neutral · AI labelView post →Harvey Keitel is 87. Sixty years in the film business. Six Scorsese films, Campion’s The Piano, Bad Lieutenant… A specialist for the troubled soul. 😮 Keitel appeared in the first feature films directed by Martin Scorsese, Paul Schrader, Ridley Scott and Quentin Tarantino. #HarveyKeitel #FilmSky
neutral · AI labelView post →i have to write a paper that's an analysis of a film's philosophical views and i am trying to decide which movie to pick. Matrix is too obvious so: -Contact -Inception -Truman Show -Bad Lieutenant (a dark horse pick but maybe i don't want to traumatize the professor)
neutral · AI labelView post →Rewatched The Bad Lieutenant - Port of Call: New Orleans (2009) last night. I'm thinking this might have Nic Cage's best performance, his wildest, funniest and most compelling all in one. Genuinely amazing for me
positive · AI labelView post →On this day in movie history: Bad Lieutenant directed by Abel Ferrara released November 20, 1992. Cast: Harvey Keitel, Victor Argo, Paul Calderón, Eddie Daniels, Bianca Hunter, Zoë Lund, Frankie Thorn, Fernando Véléz, Joseph Micheal Cruz, Paul Hipp, Frank Adonis, Anthony Ruggiero. #Noir

neutral · AI labelView post →This should have been the subtitle for the Werner Herzog Bad Lieutenant film.
neutral · AI labelView post →Not surprised. Ever seen Bad Lieutenant? 90's film. It's fiction, but the story of a bad cop "taking" drugs from dealers & users and using them himself is not a far cry from reality.
neutral · AI labelView post →I think that Bad Lieutenant is the only movie that legitimately benefits from being watched in VHS. That layer of visual grime.
positive · AI labelView post →ITV doesn't always sell itself very well, whenever I use ITVX it tries to get me to watch Love Island and yet with the cycling, Women's Euros oh & this sour beast of a film hiding in their movie section they have much to offer #filmsky My ★★★½ review of Bad Lieutenant on Letterboxd boxd.it/aolyjJ
positive · AI labelView post →Thanks again to friends at Coolidge After Midnite for having me and Cinematographe’s Justin LaLiberty introduce their screening of BAD LIEUTENANT last night. It was a great crowd and a lot of them hadn’t seen the movie before. I hope they’re okay this morning.

neutral · AI labelView post →#nowWatching on criterion - Bad Lieutenant: Port of New Orleans. For me this film is a masterpiece of Herzog at his best and Cage at his most demented also Val Kilmer and Eva Mendez are peak 💙
positive · AI labelView post →Just watched another movie knowing absolutely nothing about it. This one was Bad Lieutenant. With a name like that I didn't expect it to be uplifting but holy fuck. Somehow way darker than The Panic in Needle Park. 😮
negative · AI labelView post →Tonight’s film is brought to you by the letter B - Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call - New Orleans. 2009 film directed by Werner Herzog. Nic Cage doing his fantastic unhinged thing, crocodile POV and tripping out with iguanas. What more can you ask of a film :) #Filmsky
positive · AI labelView post →Oh my fuck. I was home from college and rented a bunch of movies and watched “Bad Lieutenant”—with my mom. “Well—,” she said three times during the film. She couldn’t finish a sentence. I offered more than once to stop the film. Each time, stoically, “No, let’s see this thing through.” Sweet Jesus
neutral · AI labelView post →My Favorite Movie(s) Right Now: Bad Lieutenant (1992) This ain’t exactly “ACAB: The Movie” but it talks about giving power to toxic people in a way I hadn’t seen before. Or since really. What’s yours? #filmsky #scriptsky #cinema
positive · AI labelView post →> the Youtube version is indeed cut and surprisingly the Tubi one isn’t. Tubi is pretty good about not cutting movies. The only thing I've seen it missing is part(s?) of Bad Lieutenant. ofc I have no illusions, tubi is only tolerable bc uBlock Origin still works to block ads, evetually tubi will enshittify and block adblockers. Also it's only available in some countries (us, canada? england? australia? nz?) sounds like an interesting movie, I'ma watch it next chance I get!…
neutral · AI labelView post →Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans. Werner Herzog took a turn into more mainstream American film, and Cage took a chance on a role that was one of Harvey Keitel's key performances and made it his own.
neutral · AI labelView post →Improve a movie with “fuck” Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Fuck
neutral · AI labelView post →Today’s #grindhousegold has all the spirit of a grindhouse film but comes from a latter era. Bad Lieutenant: Port Of Call New Orleans fits right in with the Grindhouse flicks of old, steeped in pure insanity. Nic Cage is off the rails in the best way in this one.
positive · AI labelView post →The most gratuitous breast shot in any move is Halle Berry in Swordfish; the most gratuitous dong shot in any movie is Harvey Keitel in Bad Lieutenant.

IS GOD IS proved she is a brutal and bonkers voice that could easily bring something electric to that series. Also, once again, watch IS GOD IS immediately, if not sooner.
