    as I'm sure others will mention, the coens basically conceived of this as a live action looney tunes cartoon, with nic cage as a hybrid bugs bunny and wile e. coyote. between this and their first film blood simple, they basically defined their two main modes (darkly comic neo-noirs, screwball adventures, and sometimes mixtures of the two) for decades to come.

    The reason H.I. and Smalls the bounty hunter have the same tattoo is because he’s meant to represent what H.I. could have become if he hadn’t of been saved from his life of crime by Ed’s love.

      I think of it not so much as alternate future, as a dark force that he's released into the world. The whole movie works on cartoon logic, but the bounty hunter is the closest thing to being supernatural. He sees him in his nightmares and almost seems to manifest him into being, and in the end, he has to destroy him.

    There are many theories about Smalls and the matching tattoos. I think Smalls represents Hi's criminal nature. There is a scene when John Goodman says that what Hi is saying goes against his _real nature_ and then there is an immediate cut to Smalls's motorcycle, so I take inspiraton from that. Also, Hi dreams of Smalls and says he is pure evil and that somehow he feels he brought him into the world. Hi blowing him up in the end (and somehow flying 20 feet in one blow) I took as him overcoming that crimninal streak within him. Other theories are that Small's is Hi's father (or a brother separated from him in childhood) or that he is what Nathan Jr,. would have become if raised by Ed and Hi.

If I was going to recommend a supporting role for Cage in a Coppolla movie, it would Rumble Fish, not the lame, crappy, completely glitzy and forgettable Cotton Club. I want them to watch a good movie, not a crappy (and over-long) one that Coppolla only made because he needed a hit after a bunch of box office failures. There are so many Cage performances and Coppolla films that you watch WAY before a piece of nothing like The Cotton Club. What a joke. In one eye and out the other that movie.

    I can't believe how hard I laughed watching your reaction. "Riley! You take that diaper off of your head, you put it back onto your sister!" Gotta be one of the all-time funniest lines in any movie. I think I'm gonna have to see your full-length reaction to this one. Normally I just prefer the edited version, especially if it's a film I've already seen many times, like this one.
    I am a life-long Coen Brothers fan. I wish I could tell you what to see next, but it's hard to be sure what you'd like the most. So I guess I'll recommend "Miller's Crossing" which is an old-timey gangster film that was the one they made right after "Raising Arizona". I love this movie, but "Miller's" sits comfortably among my all-time favorites like "Back to the Future" and "Goodfellas". Also, one of their more off-the-beaten-path movies is "The Man Who Wasn't There" starring Billy Bob Thornton. It doesn't get talked about as much as some of their films, but it's another favorite of mine.
    I'm delighted by your reaction, so glad you enjoyed it as much as you did. And I agree, Hi's dream at the end was definitely premonitory. But I don't think they had to move to Utah to make it come true!

    This is my favorite Nicholas Cage roll and one of those rare films that I can watch over and over without ever tiring of it. I live in Utah, and when I first saw it in the theater and Cage delivers the last line, "Maybe it was Utah," the whole audience erupted in a roar of laughter.

    The cinematographer is Barry Sonnenfeld, who got his start with the Coen Bros., and he went on to direct The Addams Family (1991), The Addams Family Values (1993), and Men In Black (1997). His style lends itself to extreme close-ups, long tracking shots, and quick cuts. Raising Arizona is really my favorite Coen Bros. film, and my favorite Nic Cage films.

    Me and my friends have seen this film so many times we could recite it by heart. When me and my wife got married, one of our friends officiated it, and ended the ceremony with "Okay then." It was perfect. One of my top three favorite comedies ever (the others being Monty Python and the Holy Grail and Ghostbusters).
    And continuing with the Coens, you HAVE to see Miller's Crossing. Seriously. No one ever talks about it, and it's the greatest film ever.

    This was the Coen's second film and is such a great movie. There's not a wasted moment in here. As you said, Holly Hunter and Nic Cage work very well together in this. Trey Wilson played Nathan Arizona (Sr.) and did a great job, too. He's also very good in Bull Durham. Unfortunately he died at age 41. Your next Coen Bros. movie should be Blood Simple, their first. Excellent noir movie. Frances McDormand is in that, too.

    There are moments in this that remind of Sam Raimi's style. The Coen Brothers co-wrote the script for Raimi's early film Crimewave. Raimi also worked on the script for the Coen Bros film The Hudsucker Proxy. Joel Coen worked as an editing assistant on the original Evil Dead. Raimi was actually working on Evil Dead 2 while this film was being made. I think it's clear that some of Raimi's style may have rubbed off on the Coen Bros, at least for this film.
