Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans is a 2009 American black comedy crime drama film directed by Werner Herzog, written by William Finkelstein, and starring Nicolas Cage, Eva Mendes, Val Kilmer, and Alvin 'Xzibit' Joiner. The film is a spiritual successor to the 1992 film Bad Lieutenant, and is not a remake according to Herzog. Nonetheless, the director of the original Bad Lieutenant film, Abel Ferrara, expressed dismay that the Herzog film was being made. Both Bad Lieutenant films were produced by Edward R. Pressman.

The film premiered on September 9, 2009, at the 66th Venice International Film Festival where it won the Christopher D. Smithers Foundation Special Award for Herzog. It opened in general release in the United States on November 20, 2009.
