* BunnyEarsLawyer: It's an OpenSecret in the NOPD that [=McDonagh=] is a FunctionalAddict, but since he's very effective at his job, they let him get away with it. He's twice promoted throughout the film, first for rescuing a prisoner's life during Hurricane Katrina, and then for solving a triple homicide and taking down a major drug gang. Also, one of the reasons he uses drugs is to deal with his back pain.

* DolledUpInstallment: The film really has no connection to ''Film/BadLieutenant'' other than featuring somewhat similar protagonists. Werner Herzog originally devised a film about a DirtyCop set in New Orleans, but his production partners wanted to somehow tie it to the older film (which like all of Abel Ferrara's works, is set in TheBigRottenApple), for which they had purchased the rights and were angling for a franchise. While both are pretty gritty crime films with borderline-{{Villain Protagonist}}s, Werzog's version is considerably DenserAndWackier, veering into BlackComedy at times.

It turns into a bit of tongue wrestling that spirals into them pants-less and bumping bits ''in front of her boyfriend on the hood of his car''. But what really nails this scene is when the disgusted boyfriend tries to leave and [=McDonagh=] shoots his gun in the air and orders his ''audience'' to keep watching.
