Has anyone seen "Red Water" the TBS made for tv movie?

"The Big Easy"

And it was Ellen Barkin

 

It cant be worse the Blue Crush or The Fast and the Furious.

Although I still believe the worst movie ever created, I actually walked out of the movie theatre insulted.

Independence Day

 

I think it is a Hollywood rule that any "action movie" set in New Orleans must have a chase scene that includes a foot chase through (a) a cemetary, (b) the French Quarter (during some festival, of course) and (c) the swamps. As anyone familiar with New Orleans knows, the Quarter, swamps and cemetaries are located contiguous to one another, and any foot chase will naturally traverse all such areas.

 

Didn't you get the memo about that? The city planners of New Orleans have overhauled the city in order to reflect this.

 

...and don't forget someone always says "Laissez les bontemps rouler!" at a dance. How many times you here that crap in REAL life?? Gotta be the oldest stereotypical phrase about people in LA. I spent 20 yrs of my life down around Chauvin and I maybe heard it used once or twice, an dat was long time ago cher.

 

Also, don't forget that according to Hollywood we haven't discovered A/C yet. Everyone is always sweating -- even indoors, in the middle of November, in the rain.

 

I never in my life heard New Orleans called the big easy until the movie "The Big Easy" was released.

 

The only movie that nailed cajun culture is "The Waterboy".

Bobby Boucher: Now that's what I call high quality H2O.

[After Bobby demonstrates his tackling ability.]
Coach Klein: Bobby, can you do that for me every game?
Bobby Boucher: Coach, not only will I do it for you, I... I... I... yes, yes, I'll do it for you.

Townie: You can do it!!

Coach Klein: Gatorade not only quenches your thirst better, it tastes better too.
Bobby Boucher: No.
Coach Klein: Gatorade!
Bobby Boucher: H2O!
Coach Klein: Gatorade!
Bobby Boucher: H2O!
Coach Klein: Water sucks. It really, really sucks. Water sucks.

Bobby Boucher: My Mama says that alligators are ornery because they got all them teeth and no toothbrush.

Bobby Boucher: "Well I like school...and I like football...and I'm gonna keep doin' 'em both because they make me feel good!
[Slams door, then comes back.]
Bobby Boucher: And by the way, Mama... alligators are ornery because of their medulla oblongata!
[Slams door, then comes back.]
Bobby Boucher: And I like Vicki and she likes me back! And she showed me her boobies and I like them too!"

Lawrence Taylor: Which brings me to my second point, kids. Don't do crack.

Paco: I am not what you would call a handsome man. God did not choose to bless with me with good looks, charm, or a fully functional brain.

Bobby Boucher: Nice hit, Mama!
Mama Boucher: Thanks baby. Now you go on and have some fun becomin' a man.

Mama Boucher: It's the devil!

Walter: Let's kick some names and take some ass.

[After watching Bobby tackle a player]
Paco: Look at Bobby tackle! I haven't seen a tackle like that since Joe Montana.
Walter: Joe Montana was a quarterback, you idiot.
Paco: I said Joe Mantegna.

Mama Boucher: No son of mine is gonna play any foos-ball!

[Upon hearing that Bobby Boucher has been benched]
Townie: We suck again.

Guy Grenouille: Nice going shithead! You lost us the football game.
Bobby Boucher: Sorry. Will you please still be my friend?
Guy Grenouille: No, Get away!

Lynn: You gonna add another championship trophy to the old case downstairs?
Coach Klein: That's kinda like my old man told me one time, Lynn. The only thing better than a crawfish dinner, is five crawfish dinners.

 

Billy Bob Thornton and Halle Berry made one of the greatest scenes, I mean movies ever filmed in Louisiana. The script and scene play were oustanding

 

I watched the beginning once i heard it was supposed to be in louisiana. It didn't look much like Louisiana. Some old man and his grandson were in a boat on the river but the river was by mountains with lots of pine trees along the side (more of a Colorado landscape). Anyway to make it seem more like Louisiana they had the old guy try and talk with and obviously fake cajun accent and the little boy had a LSU hat on.
