You should try and see it at the cinema if it's still on where you are!
I know what you mean though - that whole thing between Herzog and Ferrara was bizarre. Didn't Herzog later comment that it was all blown up a bit and apologise? I think he said that he was sure that if they both sat down with a bottle of whisky then it would resolve itself! Now that's a scene I'd like to watch.
Upon watching Herzog's version it's clear that it is certainly not a remake - it's a completely different film which happens to have a vaguely similar central character (in that he's a drink and drug addled cop). The similarities end there really.
And here, here Pedromonkey - I agree, the man is a genius.
