Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaBoth Ellen Barkin and Dennis Quaid consider this the favorite of all the films they've made.
- GoofsTugboats are powered by diesel engines. Diesel fuel is incapable of exploding. (Actually diesel can explode fine, it's just not as volatile as petroleum . Plenty of diesel trucks in accidents have both caught fire and exploded.)
- Quotes
Lamar Parmentel: New Orleans is a marvelous environment for coincidence.
- Alternate versionsWhile the UK theatrical release ends with the boat exploding, a fade out and cutting to Remy and Anne dancing around on their wedding night, the UK video release has an extra scene which features Anne talking Remy out of resigning and Remy proposing marriage.

Featured review
Easy Does It
STEAMY...SEXY...SLEAZY... This is a film where you can see a genuine sexual chemistry between two actors. Unlike Mr Soderburgh's highly over-rated Out Of Sight, which was surrounded by a great bally-hoo about it's steamy love scenes, which weren't quite convincing to most of us watching, Big Easy actually delivers the goods. Oh yes!
