Is this the moment Nick Cage went bonkers?


Before this laughable-at cult, he was a bankable A lister.

Since, he has entered the realm of straight to video crapfests.

Do you think the bees got to his brains?
Or he just realized he'd rather be kung fuing in a bear costume than acting in a seriously crafted work?

Is this the cause or the effect ?

reply

Yep, what a terrible film.

reply

Nah, Vampire's Kiss was pretty bonkers.

reply

Face Off was also pretty “Cagey” at times.

reply

Agreed.

reply

Ok but at the same time FO was a critic, box office and audience success.
The ridiculousness was just enough to be charming, not overwhelming.

reply

When was the last tine you saw the movie?

reply

Some 10 years ago.
Why?

reply

Check YouTube. He’s very spazzy. Granted, the movie is over the top by itself so it was more acceptable but Cage goes all out in that one.

reply

I know, I can remember it without youtube.
Still, his cageness was well hidden in the overall crazyness of the project. I think most viewers took it as a fitting interpretation.

reply

It is the 2nd worst move I have ever seen in a theater.

So yes...

A National Treasure franchise could have saved or spared him 4 or 5 years.

But that never happened.
