Two Girls in the car - Bad Lieutenant (1992) Discussion

[–] huffthetalbot 16 years ago

This scene is painful and funny at the same time, because it's extremely well acted. It is also allowed time to become what it is. In your typical Hollywood picture it would have gone a little something like this:

LIEUTENANT: Hello ladies. Have you ever performed fellatio on a man's penis?

GIRLS: Eh...

LIEUTENANT: Well, have you? Come on, you can tell me

GIRL: Officer, that's a contradictio in terminis

LIEUTENANT: No it ain't. Don't you get smart with me young lady!

GIRL: I'm sorry officer

LIEUTENANT: Right. Now put your mouth where my money is

GIRL: What?

LIEUTENANT: You know the deal: it's spray or pay!

GIRLS: Gross!

LIEUTENANT: Course it is. What the hell did you expect?

GIRLS: A speeding ticket!

LIEUTENANT: Oh well, I guess I could be lenient today since it's Christmas and all. How about a handjob?

Eh, anyway... What I meant to say is: in a Hollywood movie you would have never seen Harvey Keitel repeat the same sentence over fifty times (I haven't counted, it could have been more - or less). The scene would not have lasted 8 minutes, but 2 or 3 at the most. Cut, flash, dissolve, and let's have another car-chase-love-scene-montage on the beach - sunset required. Quick people, we're gonna lose the the light!

Another thing: When I read that Christopher Walken was originally up for the part, I couldn't help but imagine his voice saying (in his typical staccato style) Did you ... ever ... suck-a-guys COCK?
Now THAT would have definately made this scene pure comedy.

I make my dates watch this film especially for that scene.

[–] huffthetalbot 16 years ago

To see how they react to it?

reply

[–] White_Thunder 16 years ago

Yeah kind of, I make sure their pissed when they watch it so it's less shocking!

reply

[–] huffthetalbot 16 years ago

Mmm, not sure what to make of that. She's probably less likely to condsider you a bad person after seeing the Lieutenant in action...

this scene just totally disturbed me. I knew it was coming thanks to the reviews and by the time he got round to asking the girl to stimulate a blow job i skipped it. Bloody unpleasant movie even if Keitel is superb.

I know the internet is anonymous and all, but still, i have never seen people so open to admitting to their weird fetishes.

I just saw what mister Cage did for his crack. I don't know... Can we compare? Who did a "better" job?

Nick had a guy and a girl in his scene, Harvey had two girls.

Nick had sex with the girl, or so it seems, or so the story goes, and so on and so on, but NOT with the guy. Harvey didn't have sex with either of the girls, or did he? I'm no lawyer, but some say it's rape. And if it's rape, he raped them both. So 2-1 in bad-lieutenantness to Harvey, or does "jerking off in the presence" only count for 1/2 or 1/4? Let's call it even.

Nick smoked crack, Harvey didn't do any drugs in the scene, but was probably on coke.

Tough call. Crack is defenitely not cool, but does it make you bad? Coke is a bad drug, but does it make you cool? The fact that Nick actually gets a hit from the girl he's about to make love to may add to his badness, but the thing he yells about her having been molested as a child struck a strange comical note. Not very bad. Harvey's persistent repeating of the same phrase was much more effective. And, of course, coke is cool and bad and all and you think you are the world and everything because you ARE the world AND everything, so this one goes to Harvey.

Nick likes football, Harvey likes baseball.

A question of taste. They both lose money, which is bad. I'm not sure who lost more, but with inflation and all, the crisis and what not with my mortgage , Nick probably comes out best, in doing the baddest job. Plus he tries to rig a game, which is pretty devious, so here you go Nick: one for you.

Harvey has family and a religion, Nick has none.

Two points up for grabs here. First round knockout. Harvey is crowned Ultimate Bad Lieutenant Champion Of The World. Nick wins Most Promising Bad Lieutenant in a Motion Picture.

Where's the guilt trip Nick? Where's you standing naked in front of a bloody Jesus statue with a needle in your arm, screaming your lungs out for help? Where's the family? Where are the people? Where are the real peope? They are outside, looking in. And holding a movie camera.

Apparently it's hot, when you force someone to sexual acting with blackmail - it's by no way a disgusting crime!
I was really creeped out by that scene and really hoped the bad lieutenant will pay for what he did.
Honestly I can't understand how people could find that scene hot or even say they would do the same in the bad lieutenants position.

Harvey Kietel really wanked off for that scene, so it's not that bad.

Why didn't he not just the girl to suck him off in the car

That would be a good question to ask Keitel.

"Harvey, I was really impressed with your performance in Bad Lieutenant, but why didn't you not just the girls to suck you off in the car?"

Harvey: "Well... I... What?!"

I think most of the movie was unscripted, I'm sure you could go on google and find a script, but it doesn't mean it was scripted, there's just something about it.

I reckon Keitel did heroine too...

true story: I worked for about 2 mnths at a local strip club. One day this girl came in to apply for a job as a dancer. My manager took her downstairs and invited me to tag along. We went into the conference room. He asked her the basic questions, one being "why do you wanna be a stripper?". The girl was nervous. Then my manager tells her to take her clothes off. She did it. I was so turned on that I could hardly contain myself. Funny thing is, she never got the job! LOLOLOL
