Guys i think u should check out some Indian movies
Ayyy
Oh, I'm looking forward to Hot Fuzz 😂
BS you guys never watched this movie... you guys mentioned in the past that you all watched it
They should see Predestination(2014)
Peak Cage, peak Travolta, peak John Woo, peak of the 90's action movies. A true classic.
Nic Cage is great at doing Nic Cage things but this film wouldn't have worked if John Travolta wasn't equally bat shit crazy in his role.
It's worth it for them!
Travolta is trash
There are times when he just goes buck wild, but there are other times where he’s very much ragin the Cage
Nic Cage being Nic Cage is the best Nic Cage
It took me longer than I care to admit for me to notice the thumbnail shenanigans lol
Oh god I just noticed😂😂😂
Honestly if the heads were smaller it would work.
I came to comment how my ocd did not like the chair swap...now I just feel stupid. Thanks for setting me straight!
Lol
@@danielsummers2484 Hah!
John Travolta and Nick Cage made this movie amazing. I could never imagine anyone else in their roles.
The 3rd ingredient is John Woo.
Agreed. Which is why I’m scared of this supposed reboot they’re doing. Who asked for it?
They want to make a remake for years. xD It's gonna fail.
@@4Everlast Which is funny b/c the concept of enemies switching bodies has been explored on TV many times. The episode of Xena swapping bodies w/ Callisto even predates this movie for about half a year. Buffy also switches w/ Faith almost three years after this film.
@@jp3813 There's nothing new under the sun as Tesla said, you can re-make something, re-hash it, or just do it in a different way, and in this case, different is good enough to be interesting.
Aaron: BUT WHY HOW WHEN. IT DOESNT MAKE SENSE!?!?1
Everyone else: embracing the absurdity of a 90’s John Woo movie
And Aaron is the one who had seen all the Fast and Furious movies
16:01 I think the Nostalgia Critic said something along the lines of: The best part of any Nicholas Cage movie where he Nicholas Cage realizes he's Nicholas Cage.
The strangest things about this film to me still are: that Travolta improvised the face touching thing (which How Did This Get Made called "Face Waterfalls" and I think that works), that Nic Cage improvised the whole "I wanna take his face OFF" scene, that the police report on Michael's death weirdly offers a hypothesis on why the boy was shot and points out Archer was the target (as if the report wanted him to feel guilty every time he read it), and that the boots in the prison are the boots from the Super Mario Bros movie. I love this insane movie! Originally, the ending was going to take place in a mirror factory and I keep imagining what THAT would have been like!
What’s up, jerk
This movie, in my opinion, shows that no matter how awful your premise is, you can still make something great out of it. That even bad ideas can be fantastic. And not in a "So bad it's good" kind of way. This is genuinely a great movie.
Prime Cage and Travolta! I will always love this movie!
I don't care what people say: Face Off is a great action movie and Nic Cage is a very talented actor!
I love all the crazy Nic Gage moments in this that face Gage makes when he looked at Sasha lol
This is a movie that can ONLY have been made in the 90’s. With Nic Cage at his most CRAZY Nic Cage up to this point in his career. And John Travolta killing it as Sean Archer/Castor Troy.
This movie is made of cocaine!!!
Cocaine is hell of a drug!!!!
Well, this did come after Travolta's career revival.
This is ART
“Peak Cinema” ~Scorsese
This film is so OTT & knows it. The shear level of,"We don't give a f**k, we're having fun" is blinding.
"Nothing wrong could possibly happen." - The tag-line to every John Woo film.
Travolta makes a great antagonist. Broken Arrow being my go-to for him.
Also, you mentioned the angel film and I had to think for a sec. I love the fact they have both played roles as VERY DIFFERENT angels.
90’s movies really are so great lol this just wanna makes me rewatch Bad boys now
Dun-dun-dun-dun dun-dunnnn..
So many great movies that capture various elements of the 90s out there. Hackers (1995) is my ultimate, but so many like this end Bad Boys just work so well for what they are.
The look on Eric’s face leading up to the Nic Cage butt-grab face in the beginning is everything. The combination of excitement and trepidation, of pride and sorrow.
Speaking of Eric:
“Does that mean John Travolta is going to act like Nic Cage?”
Eric: “YESSSSSS”
I love this movie. You can feel, that alot of care and thought went into it. Not in terms of scientific accuracy, but with shot composition, story, characters, moments and action scenes. The scene with mirror stand off makes it all worth it by itself. You can't do this kind of scene if you don't care about the movie you're making. This is art. Silly, campy, incredible art. And I love it!=)
Although they definitely didn't care about visible wires & stunt double faces.
"Art" isn't a word I would use to describe this movie. It's a silly popcorn movie.
I saw this in the cinema. I loved every minute of it a pure 90's movie
Me too.
This, The Rock, and Con Air used to be my favorite Nicolas Cage movies back in the day. And now we got Willy's Wonderland.
Gone in 60 Seconds is my favorite
I agree with all of those 🙌🏻 and I will respectfully add on Broken Arrow. 90s action galore, lol
dont forget operation broken arrow
Now, now, Pig was actually interesting.
Best Trilogy.
The thumbnail looks so right and so wrong at the same time.
Somehow it keeps oscillating between "normal" and uncanny valley!
This movie reminds me of the Tropical Thunder... "I'm a dude, playing a dude, disguised as another dude!"
I'd love a reaction to Tropic Thunder! Even if they've already seen it
By far the funniest Nick Cage and John Travolta movie!
Always thought Cage would play a great Joker the man can be batshit crazy unpredictable funny and threatening and he has the swag of gangster Joker
Nick Cage was on a fucking roll in the 90s, this, con air, the rock, all classic 90s action movies.
Give Jon Travolta some credit for getting the Nic Gage stuff down packed. I believed it was Nic Gage character Castor Troy through Travolta.
I was going to say that this is Nic Cage’s most insane role, but I’ve come to realize that this is just the most insane movie to ever exist. It’s a fucking masterpiece and I love it to an unreasonable degree.
You guys really have to watch John Woo's older masterpieces, especially the Hong Kong films he directed.
Hard Boiled especially. Now THAT’S how you do an action film.
Yeah, Face/Off barely makes Woo's top ten.
This is actually one of my favourite films. Might be because of the trivia I heard about the film, it's also mentioned on IMDBs website for the film. That Travolta and Cage spent a lot of time before they started filming, according to IMDB was about 2 weeks. They studied each other, and learnt each others gestures, and their vocal cadences and so on. I'm not sure how true this trivia is, but I do think if true, it makes both their acting roles in the film even more impressive. Yes it is an actors job to act, but I think to get gestures down pat, and everything else about a person, is extremely well done.
At 39:12 is one of the funniest reaction/interaction you guys have ever done🤣🤣🤣🤣
In case you were also wondering that scar guy at 42.52 Is Tommy Flanagan AKA Chibs/Chibby from Tv shows Sons of Anarchy
The doves are a symbolic too all John Woo action movies for some reason.. JT and NC were awesome in this movie.. I reckon this was John Woo's first exposure to Hollywood from memory.. YOu can tell it is a Woo movie by the action and specific style of gun play.. John Woo's The Killer with Chow Yun Fat was absolutely epic and once you seen that and then compare it to this, you will see the resemblance
Aaron's face when he saw a barrel going up when it was shot 27:45
I was always under the impression that archers son was blind and this was a way to show him they loved him and it just stuck
that makes a lot of sense. way more than what i thought which was that it’s something his son did when he was really young and it just stuck with the whole family. mostly because it happens a lot in my own family.
Fun fact: The prison boots are the same ones the goombas wear in 'Super Mario Bros.'
Nicolas Cage is proof enough that the pre-2000s were better than the post-2000s
If I'd take anything from the post-2000s, that'd be the 1st Ghostrider movie.
You guys forgot Willy's Wonderland.
Lord of War is his best film by far.
no shit
No shit. It's just all superhero garbage nowadays.
19:58 Now Aaron understands why this is a masterpiece
Thats why the 90’s was great! This was just accepted and fun to watch!
In the VHS I had, if you put on the caption when Cage wakes up and calls his guy, the subtitle reads "Demonic Laugh".
I need videos of Calvin sharing everything he knows. He says 3 or 4 things in every reaction video that I never learned about😄
God that movie doesn't get enough love...Yes it's super over the top B popcorn flick, but it's perfect in the best way ! Overacting on both part and that kind of movie needs that and you see the acting talent of both Nicolas Cage and John Travolta turning from one to the other...Amazing ! Also those long coat floating in the wind where an amazing cliché of the 90's movie !
Please do CON AIR next!
Face off, con air and the rock. The holy Nic Cage action trilogy.
You guys mentioned about Sasha when she tells (Archer) Castor that the kid is his, wondering if it’s the first time - I’m pretty sure it’s the first time because then she brings him over and tells him she has someone for him to meet. The thing I think plays interesting with her later is at the stand-off - she comes to it still thinking that Castor is really still Castor, but I think when (Castor) Archer tells he they are each other, she realises the truth - the castor really killed her brother, and Archer has said that he’ll be ‘out of her life’ - she sees a way out for her and her kid, because she helps Eve get away and covers her. So I think when she’s lying there dying and says to ‘take care of our boy, don’t let him turn out like us’ - .i think she’s knowingly telling Archer to take care of her son so he’ll grow up with a good life and not turn out to be the monster that Caster is.
Its been 10 to 20 years since I have seen this movie. Loved it growing up on VHS. I now see more of the seams and sillyness but I still love it!
This is a movie that doesn’t require a lot of thinking. Just accept it for what it is 😂😂😂
I literally watched this movie for the first time yesterday, and now I see this in my subscription feed. Coincidence? Yup
“There are no accidents”- Master Oogway
I was so happy when I saw that y’all were reacting to this. I love this movie!
Y’all need to react to Nic Cage’s other 90’s masterpiece, Con Air!
Don't forget The Rock (1996).
Stuntman nearly died in that boat chase.
You can’t convince me this movie wasn’t a partial inspiration for the undercover obi-wan arc of the Clone Wars
59:52 - I think Castor did that because for the time, this is his family ergo his property. He wasn't protecting his daughter, he was punishing some punk that tried to challenge him by attacking what's his.
Face off is epic. Cracking reaction lads.
You guys got to do hard boiled next. That is a defo John woo classic. Action and gunplay is another level
Hard boiled doesn't have the budget that Face/Off does but it has the spectacle.
Hard Target
Aaron asks a question
Eric: it's science
Weirdly, the guy playing the creep being pushy with the character of Jamie Archer in the car, is actor Danny Masterson (aka Hyde from That ‘70s Show) who ended up being quite the creep in real life. Art imitates, and all that.
Another weird fact for you; the actress that plays Jamie, Dominique Swain, also starred alongside Danny’s brother Christopher Masterson in the movie, Girl, around the same time as this. Christopher Masterson is probably best known as the elder brother, Francis, from Malcolm in the Middle. Small world.
Crazy Danny Masterson allowed the director to put his off set activities in the movie😊
Almost an hour long reaction segment! Hell yeah
One of the best movies of the 90s I think 😂😂. John Woo I think. So much fun 😂😂😂
My second favourite Cage film and favourite Travolta performance
Very glad you reacted to this, such a classic film
(First favourite Cage film will always be Conair)
11:30 "You wouldn't put two pairs of gloves on!"
Lloyd Christmas would beg to differ
FACE…OFF
No more drugs for that man!
John Travolta is one of my mom’s favorite actors and I just saw this film with her for the first time a couple weeks ago.
This is one of my favorite 90s movies. The crazy Nick is great but Travolta is doing the "bad guy" so good.
3:12 Wow I didn't realize how good of a comparison this was for Cage's character
If you haven't listened to Patrice O'neal talking about this movie on Opie and Anthony, Do it!
It's pure gold!
Whoever voted for this movie loves chaos 🤣🤣🤣🤣
"Just give me a new face. These ones are both ruined!" - lol. Enter... Bruce Willis?
Yeah it's a fucking stupid film but watching this as a kid in the 90s, what a time to be alive.
I love finding my favourite films bein watched by you guys.
The one guy who hadn't seen face off absolutely mesmerised by the whole face off thing. "I thought they was gona keep his face on and put his on top"
And one of you said "that would be ridiculous" like it already isn't 😂 you crack me up.
That was so much fun watching along with you. Can't remember the last time I laughed this hard.
That's a significant memory from this movie, Nic Cage screaming "DDDIIIEEEEIIIEEEEEEEEEEEIIEEEEEEEEEEE!" like that strangling John Travolta.
John Travolta's acting is similiar to his villian role in this as to his villiain role in Broken Arrow - thumbs up to recommend
24:14-24:24 That’s always my reaction to that line. For a few seconds, he got possessed by Jim. Lol
This was soo entertaining! I scared my cat laughing. And the nostalgia is real, I was a teenager when this movie came out.
Ahh....the 90's...
Face off, con air, gone in 60 seconds, the rock. Just great cage movies.
54:07 Sean Archer just shows up to his house but now he looks like Michael Douglas.
"Honey, I'm home! ANTS!"
So much fun rewatching this classic with you guys! Please react to more Nic Cage from the 90s such as "The Rock" & "Con Air." 👍
I could eat a peach for hours - Nicholas Cage, 1997
"The birds are strapped, too."
I laughed so hard my rectum hurt!
I use "no more drugs, for that man" pretty frequently. also how the hell do I comment 3 weeks ago when I saw this on patreon? 😆
The casting for this film was amazing. You have John Travolta and Nic Cage acting crazy as the Castor Troy character, but then Joan Allen is so grounded to balance the craziness so you still feel there are stakes.
I remember going to see this in theaters with college friends.... GOD, the '90s had some incredibly insane movies.. 🤣🤣🤣
peak Nic Cage will be forever the greatest imo
The upcoming Nic Cage film where he plays himself is going to be next level epic.
31:02 that moment aged scarily well given who that was
Who?
.
for those who don't know John Woo also did Paycheck with Ben Affleck and Uma Thurman, based on a short story by Philip K Dick (Total Recall, Minority Report, Imposter, A Scanner Darkly, Blade Runner).
I'm begging you all to watch Spontaneous. It's an absolutely perfect movie for reactions and sadly neglected on UA-cam.
@Blind Wave 48:53 There is an Oscars for stunts, the Taurus World Stunt Awards, they are not as big budget as they used to be but they did stunts on the show as well, i found out about the show through the gem of a game Stuntman: Ignition.
"Sasha, what the fuuuhck are you doing here?" Always gets me 😂
There should be a sequel to the film. The two main actors should be back.
I don't see much people reacting to this movie. I don't see anyone reacting to assassin movie Antonio Banderas and Stallone either.
I think this is the only movie where two actors played the main character I’m pretty sure it was hard on both Nick and John making this movie thanks again guys for the reaction
The actor who played Dietrich (bald guy) directed the Notebook
It's funny how you notice prominent actors in old movies when you clearly know they;re there but your brain just wipes it from your mind and then you grow up more and appreciate those actors more and see them again and its like seeing them again for the first time and you're like I didn't know they were in this!!!
I was 10 watching this in theaters! I miss the 90s 😂
It is an action movie that has a plane chase, multiple car chases, and ends with a boat chase.
fun fact: this is the very first rated r film i ever watched
i watched it only once but i still vividly remember the knife twist bit, it was branded into my brain 🧠
21:30 “Now swiiitch, to kryptoniiiite!”
How come it’s always Aaron who has not seen the classics!?
Yeah you’d think since he and Rick have been friends since 2nd grade then they must’ve seen the same things over the years lol
Just have to throw this out there: When I first saw this movie, I was shocked to find out that Dietrich was also the main villain from the classic 80s movie The Wraith. Grew up watching that damn movie all.the.time!
You guys should totally react to that 😁 It’s a fantastic revenge flick.
"I want his face...off "
Absolute classic one of my favorites of both Cage & Travolta 😁👍
