Well, the Bad Lieutenant title was just tagged on by the studio because they want/wanted to try and make a franchise out of it, because (apparently) Ferrara sold the Bad Lieutenant rights years ago. He's not got anything to complain about really if he decided to sell the rights to the film.
The Herzog Bad Lieutenant is a superb film, not as good as the original and although Cage's performance is great it doesn't reach Keitel's. But yeah, definitely worth a watch as they are essentially completely different films, just with a similar main character.
