No offend but do you know what the name Louisiana reminds me of? Remeber Live And Let Die? Remember that big Louisiana highway patrol sheriff? He's such a fu*king funny guy, man. And why do you think they chose Louisiana to shoot the speed boat chasing scene? Because they're saying Louisiana IS a big swamp! A wedding can be held where there is water within 100ft on four sides! I still remember that big sheriff goes "my brother got the fastest boat in all Louisiana!" Man, does it really mean in Louisiana a fast boat is more valuable and practical that a Porsche? No offends, ya know, just joking. Can't help it! I don't even think Venus is a swamp.
