I only saw it on video but there were plenty of scenes where I couldn't help but to laugh. Some big laughs for me were stuff like the iguanas, pulling a gun on two old ladies, and the soul still dancing. If I was in a movie theater, I wouldn't be able to hold back the laughter. I'm not sure if other people would be laughing though. Was this stuff intentional or just made to be taken very seriously?

Police captain married to a hooker, thats a big joke.
shareClose-up of the iguana while Nic Cage stares in the background -- comedic genius.
"You're Chocolate Chip Charlie!"
I don't think the part where he is having sex with the girl in the alley while the boyfriend is standing there is supposed to be funny.... but it is.
The dialouge is cringe worthy funny.

it takes me back to the monitor lizard in Fata Morgana
I'm proud to say my poetry is only understood by that minority which is aware.
I don't agree with most people in this topic, I think a lot, if not all, of the humor in this movie is unintentional. NC has done some great movies, and he's done some crappy ones. It seems like they're getting crappier. I like other Werner Herzog movies, but what the hell?! This movie is just written really badly. Val Kilmer was on the outs at that point in his career as well, and it's like they just threw Brad Douriff into the mix for the fun of it. It jumps all over the place, & the main plotline is scrambled & incoherent at times. I still enjoyed watching it, though.

Nicolas Cage has a habit of being unintentionally funny. I still don't know if Werner Herzog meant for it to be funny or not. I've looked online and can't find an answer on that, but I do know this movie was incredibly ridiculous and goofy in a fun way.
