    The 90s was a crazy time not only for action movies in general, but also for Nicholas Cage and John Travolta. With over-the-top action movies were taking over the box office, John Woo’s Face/Off was the epitome of craziness and brought both these over-the-top actors into an over-the-top premise with over-the-top action. The movie is insane.
    Face/Off raises a whole lot of questions. Like why didn’t Castor Troy just take a second shot at the carousel? What kind of a name is Pollux? How did the FBI leave a dangerous terrorist unguarded in an empty hospital? How did he track down every single person that knew about Sean Archer’s mission? How did that prison escape work, and why did the cops just abandon their chase? Why is John Travolta wiping his fingers on everyone’s faces? Did he just bring home a small child without consulting his wife first?
    To answer all these questions and more, step inside the Pitch Meeting that led to Face/Off! It’ll be super easy, barely an inconvenience.

      Except that they weren't twins, they were half-brothers. Castor and his sister Clymnestra were the immortal twin children of Leta and Zeus, but Pollux and his sister Helen of Troy were the mortal twin children of Leta and her husband Tyndareus. See, the human Leta laid two different bird eggs - or maybe just one egg that all four were inside. It's not clear. But the important thing is, if a god disguised as a swan has sex with a human woman she will lay eggs. With human-looking children inside. Even if some of the children were her husband's and not connected to the swan at all, they will still be in an egg.

      Did you know, originally, it was supposed to be Schwarzenegger and Stalone. I can't picture it at all. 😅

      @@mcvenne8935 I could see it in a way but I have an overimaginative mind lol. Albeit with tweaks. Stallone as the angry vet terrorist and Arny as the man who knew the most about him due to shared combat history. Maybe keep the agent role but would seem too soon after true lies and Total Recall.

      Try if he really does say this. You had much more time because he said "ninetys movie".
