If police lieutenant
Harvey Keitel's life could get any more sordid, he could probably sell tickets. The least of his vices is gambling, which has gotten him in Dutch with the mob. He abuses his body with drugs and his soul with hookers, and now he's turned to exploiting teenage girls for sex.
Keitel is forced to reassess his life while investigating the rape of a nun. Director
Abel Ferrara co-wrote the screenplay with
Zoe Lund, who as
Zoe Tamerlis starred in
Ferrara's cult classic
Ms. 45. A soundtrack tune by rapper
Schoolly D, which was included in the initial release of
Bad Lieutenant, featured a sample from
Led Zeppelin which was used without permission; the song has since been excised from the soundtrack.
