One of my all time favourite “What the fuck?” movies. Whoever came up with the idea to make two ridiculously over-the-top actors pretend to be each other for an hour of screen time is an actual genius. This movie was glorious.
@@rossdiamondthief6627 Seriously ? Arnold and Sly are completely different, the first is an Austrian robot and the second is an American traumatised soldier.
This is the movie where they gave arthouse action movie director John Woo millions of dollars to make a movie where Nicolas Cage and John Travolta act like each other. It was never going to be "good" by traditional standards, but it never needed to be because it's exactly what it is.
Nothing says masterpiece like a movie where John Travolta has to act like Nicolas Cage and Nicolas Cage has to act like John Travolta acting like Nicolas Cage.
I can only think of one such instance. In Curb your enthusiasm when LArry David had to act like George Costanza, who in fact was a character based on Larry David. Pure genius.
0:21 I love the transition from "READY FOR THE BIG RIDE" to him breaking down in the hospital. Imagine watching clips of this not knowing that he's playing two different characters.
0:34 this is acting here!!!... hes sad and disgusted of what hes doing but gotta keep it together! nailed it! always loved him and respected him...since saw him in 1990s
The best part is all the serious actors he's surrounded by you can't tell if they're thinking I'm going to fire my agent for sticking me in with this lunatic or I am in the presence of genius.
Hollywood today is on the rocks, and sinking fast. They did not bother to develop any new talent for years. With the boomers dropping left and right, they have really very few "star" actors to draw in movie crowds. Well, they can always just make Marvel super hero movies until they go under.
@@stevenrobert8567 Chris Pratt is kind of one of their go-to guys right now, which they probably hate because he’s a bit more right-leaning and a church-goer. Sure he does the Guardian movies (which would’ve been nothing without him) but in the last year he was the lead in the top 3 grossing movies. Other than him I don’t see a lot of new star power being consistent outside of hero movies. Maybe Chris Pine?
@@bullgravy6906 Yeah, the glory days of star power are gone, or so it appears. Chris played in that horrible donkey kong movie. I saw it for free, and was thankful that I didn't pay for it. About half way through, I quit on it. I though he was terrible in it, and his co-stars lacked talent, to put it mildly. You never about anyone these days, politically, no matter how nice or cool they seem.
Best acting,best script,best screenplay,best cinematography,best actors on their best.all together a movie to watch for a lifetime. The best movie for sure.
Face-Off... Nicolas Cage acting like John Travolta acting like Nicolas Cage while John Travolta acts like Nicolas Cage acting like John Travolta. That's acting.
One of my favorites. I told my mom that I know 95% of the lines and she didn't believe me 😞 That weekend the movie was on a Spanish channel and I said most of the lines in English then she believed me 😁 Nicholas Cage is one of my favorite actors ever 😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃
His acting (as well as Travolta's) becomes really interesting after the Face-off when he starts to act in the way the film character of Travolta would act in order to pretend to act like Cage's film character would act.
I was somewhat surprised that by getting a face transplant you also reshaped your body and took the other face's voice and personality. That's science. That's real.
Watched this with my Polish gf recently. She thought it was the dumbest shit ever 😂 The plot is insane now that I think of it, but probably why it's one of my favourite action films

THANK YOU glad somebody appreciates this work of art
I just hope that sequel is just as good

Apparently this film was originally intended for Sylvester Stallone/Arnold Schwarzenegger
@@rossdiamondthief6627 Seriously ? Arnold and Sly are completely different, the first is an Austrian robot and the second is an American traumatised soldier.
The most Nicolas Cage movie that Nicolas Cage has ever Nicolas Caged
Until his upcoming project The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent. Can’t wait to see him cut loose in that one!
@@SolCresta3405 It ended up being the most nicholas cage movie to have ever nicolas caged.
@@Microwave414 Indeed.

The thing about Nicolas Cage
It’s impossible to tell whether he’s in complete misery, or having an absolute blast
Knowing him, probably both at the same time.
Probably both
I found myself wondering exactly that during the scene when Castor wakes up from his coma and has the most verbal reaction to realizing he's faceless.
A little from column A, a little from column B
You say that as if there's a difference between being in misery and having a blast. Have you never heard of masochism before??
1:13 - And the script was just like: "He looks at himself in a mirror".
That guitar riff and that face at 00:31 loooool
Nothing says masterpiece like a movie where John Travolta has to act like Nicolas Cage and Nicolas Cage has to act like John Travolta acting like Nicolas Cage.
Yes.

1:59 is the best bit lol.

1:11 this without context is sooooo funny lollll idk why
It’s fucken hilarious 😭 1:13-1:17
It’s on sight for EVERYBODY. Lol
Even with the context it’s hilarious
Context doesn't really help this much lmao.
1:14 Me when I'm about to lock the front door for the night at the diner, but then a family of 12 comes in last minute.
😂😂😂😂
And also 1:59
😂😂😂
1:13 that’s my favourite part his face had me dying laughing
His face reminded me of someone In my distant Family lol 😉😁😁😁
nah this one is 0:54
LMAO yeah like what is happening right there?
Director: We need you to go full Nick Cage
Nick Cage: 😬
Looks like a junkie staring through your windows at night looking for his next fix
1:59 This is the greatest acting in the history of acting ever.
0:30 - 0:37 is brilliant too
Pure comedy. To go from sadness to happiness that quick. Fantastic
٩ت
That is the greatest nicolas cage in the history of nicolas cage ever
1:13 - 1:24 is good too lol
I heard that in preparation to play this role, Nicholas Cage read the movie’s script and memorized his characters lines
Huge if true
I'm blessed to have witnessed this guys acting
Nicolas cage loosing his mind is the best . Plus that face cage makes at 1:13 is beyond insane and iconic you could do 100 memes off of that.
The best part is all the serious actors he's surrounded by you can't tell if they're thinking I'm going to fire my agent for sticking me in with this lunatic or I am in the presence of genius.
@@bigape5502 lol I couldn’t have said this better myself.
I call it his "Rapey Face".
"DIIIIIIIEEEEE!!!" at the end always killed me.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
0:03 That face. That fucking face. It never fails to make me burst out laughing.
Fun fact: he's my acting teacher.
Good choice
Have fun! Make good faces!
Figuratively or literally? If it’s the later I’d love an autograph
Your joking
But I'm his teacher.
SO much better than literally 99% of all films now.

Yet very satisfying through out the whole film.😁
I would like to see Nick play Hannibal Lector.

Breathtaking.
You're breathtaking!
@@thetoonerowl3687 well thanks!~
@@sparkleforest Did you get the joke?
@@thetoonerowl3687 of course tooner brony!
1:59 is my favorite scene
1:20 gets me every time lol
The fact that the "insane person guitar riff" ( 0:30 ) fits perfectly with Nicholas Cage will always make me cackle.
1:22 Mr Bean impression
Him going for a drink so carefully in the sink for some reason got me 😂
Just the GOAT of acting showing off here, what a brilliant artist.
Nick has lots of great movies. He's a super actor. Leaving Los Vegas is something special to see.
@@stevenrobert8567 Yeah, and movies like Pig, Mandy, Wild At Heart and Adaptation show how big his range is. An absolute beast of acting.
@@Caminante7SSS All great movies, and Adaptation was always one of my favorites. Where he get's all the talent and range from, only God knows. (--:
@@stevenrobert8567 He's God, as far as science can tell
Face-Off... Nicolas Cage acting like John Travolta acting like Nicolas Cage while John Travolta acts like Nicolas Cage acting like John Travolta.
That's acting.
this has got to be the best performance of all time from a recent academy award winner.
My favourite quote was “ What is this some kind of FACE OFF?”
"...no more drugs, for that man."
I'm surprised the church head banger scene wasn't included
I'm convinced that Nicholas Cage is actually crazy
This just makes me think of Abed losing his mind in Community LOL
“I’m Nicholas freakin’ Cage, baby!!”
0:16 favorite bit
I'm so glad I have this on DVD so every time I see a meme video I can rewatch it
This film just showed Nicholas being down right high… and I love it
Two amazing actors.
Nicholas Cage playing John Travolta playing Nicholas Cage was inception level craziness
1:13 - His scariest face by far.
It actually reminds me of the one from Vampire's Kiss
@@MisterAutist Sort of.
@@MisterAutist you don’t say! 😂
@@MisterAutist "you don't say..."
@@MisterAutist “I couldn’t think of a more horrible job if I wanted to. And you have to do it. You have to or I’ll fire you, do you understand?”
I would pay to see a movie with him just absolutely losing it the whole time!! 😂😂
That last scene of Nicholas he looks so much like John Travolta. The way he moves
A part of me was really hoping this would’ve ended with “No more drugs… for that man.” 😂
1:24 you cut out the most hilarious part. right after he makes that face, Gina Gershon hits him in the face 😂
That thumbnail 😂😂😂😂
Hollywood can remake this movie all they want but hands down no one I’ll ever too these 2 legends!
I’m castor Troy!! Wooooooooo
There's only one Nick Cage.
I often describe this movie to my as a movie where Nicolas Cage gets to go full Cage mode; and it works on so many levels
He should have been cast as Joker in the dark knight…would have got an oscar for sure !
There's a lot of psycho characters, the Joker is only one of them. People also say that about Willem Dafoe but isn't the Green Goblin Marvel's Joker ?
@@lindildeev5721 absolutely…NO he’s not !
Dark Knight with no Heath Ledger? Yeah no thanks. Cage may do a good joker but no one can top Ledger.
If TDK was made in 1998. He'd be too old even by 2008.
@@Addy0401 umm, yes he is.
i can't believe we never got to see him as a superman
He would be better suited as an evil super hero.
this film is a masterpiece.. lol..
0:30 my favorite 😂😂😂
I need to watch this masterpiece again
1:59
Me when I finally beat my brother on Fifa.
Me after beating a boss fight
Now that's ACTING.
No, just drugs
@@axizteron7294 That too. Drugs bring the BEST out of you ... You get a Golden Globe.
Nic Cage is the best in act!!! 🙏
The thing is
He's not acting.
No its not. Great acting includes Subtlety and he had none whatsoever. Gross
1:13 scarier than Johny Blaze😆🔥
I was a child when. I first saw the movie. Brings back memories...
Core! Nicky IS so convincingly nuts😂😂😂😂👍
I remember that his performance blow the shit out of me as a kid
Insanely wicked compilation uploader!!!
You’re mustard!!!
Travolta does an excellent job here
One of my favorites. I told my mom that I know 95% of the lines and she didn't believe me 😞 That weekend the movie was on a Spanish channel and I said most of the lines in English then she believed me 😁
Nicholas Cage is one of my favorite actors ever 😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃
Nicolas Cage is a national treasure, he’s going to try and steal himself one day.
Faceoff was such a fantastic movie. Definitely one of Travolta's best.
Blow out was good
I like that the title says "completely insane" because he is standardly insane in the movie in general.
I heard Travolta couldn't eat a peach for hours
Out of context this looks crazy but gotta watch the film to understand what he is doing
You forgotten to include that part "I sleep with his wife" then everyone was laughing.
0:54 the best meme in the history
1:13 - 1:17
And to think: We could've seen this guy also playing The Scarecrow in Batman at one point. Honestly, I think it could've worked.
0:33 gun store robber from robocop 2.
"Cops are on strike, stoopid!"
Good eye, sir.
1:19. Am I hearing someone laughing in the background because of Nicolas Cage being insane?
Nice catch
@@ksm9662 There is one more laughter at the end of moment)
@@terrie4544 👍
Yeah there’s no way I’m keeping a straight face behind the camera when Nic Cage goes crazy on set 😂
This looks like the best film ever
1:12 that will never not be the funniest fucking thing I have ever seen
His acting (as well as Travolta's) becomes really interesting after the Face-off when he starts to act in the way the film character of Travolta would act in order to pretend to act like Cage's film character would act.
I love the scene in the prison because it's like Nick Cage doing an impression of himself and it's so unhinged.
best joker we've never had
That girl at 1:20 needs an award for keeping it together
1:06 WTF!!! he didn't even drink the water 😂😂😂
Lmfao
LMAO I need to watch this tonight
I like the part where he said „It’s Nicholas Caging-time“ and Nicholas Caged all over the place.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
nic cage being the antagonist and protagonist 😅
John woo realized how he could go total bananas
Love when he said : It's Caging time
DIIIIIEEEEEEYYYYEEEEUUUGGGHHH!!
Que pedaso de escena 100 ×100 bueno estoy listo para el viaje primor jajajaja solo a nicolas y John se les ocurriria que chispa
This was an amazing movie!!
I was somewhat surprised that by getting a face transplant you also reshaped your body and took the other face's voice and personality. That's science. That's real.
Yeah it's called acting, crazy isn't it
Me when I’m in a silly goofy mood
This is one of the most scariest dead by daylight monsters ever
John Woo & Nicholas Cage should have won the Oscars that year for this movie. Yes, it's that good.
He truly channeled his inner Jim Carrey and Micheal Keaton in this one.
1:14 Ghost Rider reference
💀
Ghost Rider came like 10 years later, so no.
This guy overtook Travolta when it came to craziness in this film. That's quite a feat.
Watched this with my Polish gf recently. She thought it was the dumbest shit ever 😂 The plot is insane now that I think of it, but probably why it's one of my favourite action films
WHAT A GREAT ACTOR
Wow, this is literally me
1:23 the best one hands down
