TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Former Iberia Parish Sheriff Sid Hebert was supposed to play the Sheriff, but he was later replaced by Gary Grubbs. As a sort of consolation, numerous "Re-Elect Sid Hebert" signs were placed in the Sheriff's office, and other places in the film.

The scene where the shooting is taking place outside the bar was in fact a real bar from the 1970's through the early 90's. This building is in St.Martin parish, 3 miles south of St.Martinville on HWY 347. Cock fighting was a big attraction there until the bar was closed a few years before cockfighting was banned in Louisiana. The building is abandoned now.

Never released theatrically in the U.S., where it went straight to DVD.

Indirectly regarded as a goof: While it is true that John Bell Hood lost his right leg at Chickamauga, his soldiers chipped in and bought him a fine prosthetic leg of cork, imported from France. He was a Lieutenant General for Joe Johnston, then from August, 1864 until January, 1865, a full General commanding the Army of Tennessee.

Levon Helm's last acting role.

Popular Dialogues

"Elrod Sykes: Ya ever see the lights in the cypress trees at night? Dave Robicheaux: That's swamp gas. It'll ignite and all that across the water. It's like ball lightning. Elrod Sykes: No sir, that's not what it is. It's these guys that are wounded by the lake. They have lanterns coming from some of the ambulances. A lot of the soldiers had maggots on their wounds. It's the only reason they lived. It's 'cause the maggots ate out the infection. Dave Robicheaux: You been drunk a long time, Elrod. Pretty soon all the trees and alligators will be talking to you. Elrod Sykes: Yeah... I wasn't drunk. This guy... a General... was standing on a crutch right by the water when he said to me, 'You and your friend, the Law Man, must repel them'. Dave Robicheaux: I think you're delusional. You might wanna think about goin' to uh A-A meeting with me one time. Elrod Sykes: Maybe I was a little drunk."

"Dave Robicheaux: In the ancient world, people placed heavy stones on the graves of the dead so their souls would not wander and inflict the living. I always thought this was simply the practice of superstitious and primitive people. But I was about to learn that the dead can hover on the edge of our vision with the density and luminosity of mist, and their claim on the earth can be as legitimate and tenacious as our own."
