Brent 'Breadboy' Dreher....cause I'm great with dough/numbers/money/bread (and also because it's a shortened version of my name (BREnt Dreher = bred = bread) and because I eat a lot of bread products....pizza, noodles, burgers, etc.)
5:20 Harrison Ford from '80 to '85 released The Empire Strikes Back, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Blade Runner (though initially flopped), Return of the Jedi, Temple of Doom, & Witness. Also, '94 was Jim Carrey's breakout year w/ Ace Ventura, The Mask, & Dumb and Dumber.
I feel like the Rock does enough movies in a year you could probably craft a similar list for him. So many of his aren't critical successes, but in all fairness, neither was Con Air or Face Off.
@@jbearclowater Face/Off was critically lauded, but not so much for Con Air & The Rock. Though I think they're basing it on how beloved the movies have become by 90s action fans.
I remember when the movie came out, the local paper's headline for the review said "Plane Stupid". I immediately called four friends and said we need to see this. We were not disappointed.
Their chemistry and energy level were fantastic. This may be the most fun I've ever had watching the commentary. It might also be the Con Air Effect at work. I loved this movie as a kid and watched the trifecta of The Rock, Con Air, and Face/Off constantly on loop. Also does anyone else remember all the controversy surrounding "How do I live without you?" between LeAnn Rimes and Trisha Yearwood? I can remember them on TV both at the Grammys. Awkward...
I find Gerard Butler to be my current Nick Cage. His movies are just all over the place. His performances are stellar to ridiculous. You can't help but love him.
Fun fact: Nicolas Cage did not realise that there was such a thing as 'being Nicolas Cage' until during the filming of Face/Off when he saw Travolta acting as 'him'.
I thought Garland Greene was an excelect serial killer and I'm not sure where you got the "redemption" arc from his character.... Just because he didn't kill the little girl? Most serial killers have reasons to why they kill, they generally don't kill anyone who crosses their path.... Garland Greene's reasons were never given so the little girl may not have fit into his ideal victim.... Though he did seem very intelligent, very calm and methodical, extremely impartial (didn't really care about anyone on the plane, even when he knew Poe killed another prisoner) Also how he easily changed his "mask" to seamlessly blend into any new situation - how he was calm and relaxed after he was released - to happy when singing with the little girl - to enthusiastic gambler after his escape in Vegas He was the scariest prisoner on the plane and I didn't see his ending as happy, it was more "holey F#@* he's out!"
there is a scene where he hints that he might have been temporarily insane at the time he did all the killing and just snapped to cause them. could be that he might have reached a sense of peace after being in prison and no longer has that desire to kill, That is were the Redemption Arc comes from. But your take is pretty damn solid. He was the most dangerous man on the plane and he is free now
Maybe that's her backstory... she was on American Gladiators, before leaving at the height of her popularity to follow her dream of being in an electro music group, the spectacular implosion of which sent her on a murderous rampage, which resulted in her incarceration.
I think my favorite part of this is watching Lon and Steve watching the scenes in the trailers with pure joy on their faces... and the synchronized, simultaneous air guitar. LOLOL!!
definitely statham. he's so over the top and ridiculous and actiony and none of his movies are critically acclaimed, but they're all movies you'll love years later for the pure stathamness of them
@@jp3813 Well, to continue going down this rabbit hole... Poe, undercover in prison for the past few years, is being reassigned to another case. His idiot DEA boss insists on giving him a gun, as in the movie but anticipating that Cusack's character will object, he sneaks the gun to Poe inside a birthday gift for his (fake?) daughter. Poe doesn't want to carry it on his person and blow his cover, so he re-hides it in the bunny before it gets stowed.
The connection he got with that little girl during the tea party was what made Garland Green decide not to hurt children anymore. At least that's my reading of it.
That bit of instrumental Lon sang(?) at 2:26 was actually Carl Stalling performing Raymond Scott's "Powerhouse" - he conducted all the Looney Tunes music from their golden age.
I love The Rock and Con Air and Face/Off, but I had no clue they came out in that close a proximity to each other (although in retrospect it does make sense)
Let us not forget in the realm of 90s action films that the first act of U.S. Marshals was pretty much a less goofy Con-Air. And starred Two Face, Blade, and Iron Man. I mean Agent K, Willie Mays Hayes, and Sherlock Holmes. Ty Cobb, Simon Phoenix, and Charlie Chaplin? Eh, you know who I’m talking about.
Have you ever thought of making HT's for notorious box-office bombs as part of Blockbuster Summer? Because I'd love to see one for something like Wild Wild West!
"Control your emotions" is the giveaway. And they've said on Reddit that they'll pause the Blockbuster Summer theme to cover newer movies. Although I was hoping they'd cover Captain Marvel two weeks from now, since that would be their 300th Honest Trailer.
Honestly the reason face/off is so unlike other action films is because it's a soap opera. John Woo does Soap Opera's with bullets. Just like in a soap opera where everyone is over acting and VERY serious Woo does that but also directs the action the same way. A Better Tomorrow 2 is the peak example. There is a final gunfight in a completely white house and by the end the house is red with the blood of everyone who is shot.
My platoon was warned in boot camp (USMC) about not using that specific move, upper-cut-palm-strike-to-the-chin, against civilians. Because, yes, we would be handled in court differently. Maybe the Green Berets didn't have that part of the class, maybe he just forgot in the heat of the 3 on 1 fight, and maybe he reacted to the presence of a deadly weapon. The knife coming out should have been all the defense he needed, but then it would be a court room drama, not an action comedy.
The baby monologue made me think it... and you guys brought up his southern accent a moment later. Is this a direct sequel to Raising Arizona? Is Cameron Poe an aged, grizzled, and reformed H.I. McDunnough?!
But of course the reason Con Air 2 never got made is that "In space no one can hear your accent". Oh maybe that would be a plus ;) I have to admit to liking Mister Malkovich in the Reds.
If you've got a problem with John Cusack in High Fidelity, then you've got a problem with Nick Hornby, because that's the way the character was written in the book.
I love this movie and forgive it all its flaws. I think it’s probably because so many great actors really putting in a top performance that ends up elevating the material.
the tension of garland green and the little girl works for me. you have no idea what he did or what he was going to do given the time, and the whole idea that he was sittin there with her having tea is creepy and tense and still gives me the creeps years later. just because he chose not to act on it right then for one reason or another, its the what could have happened thats tense and creepy
15:25 Oh man, a Dragon Blade reference, I can't believe it. Found this and watched it with my brother years ago and it is a hilariously bad movie that we still quote to this day. Thanks for the commentary.

Lon and Spencer. This is a good duo for commentaries.

Laser Puma, the voice of the people!
I find Gerard Butler to be my current Nick Cage. His movies are just all over the place. His performances are stellar to ridiculous. You can't help but love him.
I can't help but show up for his upcoming ridiculosity, Angel Has Fallen
That's a solid call 👌
Eh he’s not quite crazy as Cage, he’s just lackluster at times
Butler is nowhere near the actor Cage is. I couldn't see him just coming out with an Oscar-worthy performance like Cage can.
@@tomtalks23 I'm not watching any of Nick Cage's Oscar worthy performances. Those aren't the Nick Cage I want to see. So your point is moot.
The theme in Wonder Woman has a sick guitar riff.
Absolutely!
It was written and played on a cello.
Who else did the gesture when they showed the Face/Off part?
Done.
Fun fact: Nicolas Cage did not realise that there was such a thing as 'being Nicolas Cage' until during the filming of Face/Off when he saw Travolta acting as 'him'.
I do that every time I take my face…off
I believe it's obligatory.
On of my favorite films growing! Loved the "Cy-onara" moment! Coolest thing in the world back then. Man life was easier when you were a kid...
Don't forget that Wonder Woman has an amazing guitar riff in both BvS and Justice League too.
You mean that sweet electric cello riff? Lol
Not a guitar lol
That’s my ringtone :)

The space prison movie was called Lockout, with Guy Pierce as Nic Cage...IN SPACE...
More like Guy Pierce as Snake Plissken, so much so that they got sued.
There's Fortress 2 as well, with Christopher Lambert. Lockout is the better of two, admittedly.
Really wish Nic Cage was in Godfather 3
And right before that run of The Rock, Con Air and Face Off he won an Oscar for Leaving Las Vegas. The mid-90s were peak Cage.
John Cusack? Grosse Pointe Blank ;)
"Laser Puma" sounds more like an American Gladiators name. LOL
Daniel Bright it sounds like an electro music group to me
Maybe that's her backstory... she was on American Gladiators, before leaving at the height of her popularity to follow her dream of being in an electro music group, the spectacular implosion of which sent her on a murderous rampage, which resulted in her incarceration.
I grew up in Mobile, AL. No one there speaks like Nic Cage. No one
Now you have something to aspire to!
Pensacola in the house!
John Cusack is in the upcoming Amazon Studios/Gillian Flynn adaptation of the British series Utopia alongside Rainn Wilson and Sasha Lane.
Love Con Air. Just a big daft joy with a fabulous cast on top form.
Con Air is the best movie ever with beer, that's scientifically proven by the University of Gen X Dad Association.
So you're saying you've conducted some beer reviewed research.
So... equilibrium then? Nice, there better be a Sean Bean in memorium montage!!
I think my favorite part of this is watching Lon and Steve watching the scenes in the trailers with pure joy on their faces... and the synchronized, simultaneous air guitar. LOLOL!!
Buying a dinosaur skull is the essence of peak Nic Cage.
No marriage to the daughter of Elvis and buying a dinosaur 💀 is peak Nick cage.
@@leelewis8749 Elvis' daughter marrying Michael Jackson is peak Lisa Marie.
"HO HO! That bobby dropped his jammy bisquit!" I'm in tears.
I totally love all of his stuff, but modern day Cage is almost assuredly Statham.
definitely statham. he's so over the top and ridiculous and actiony and none of his movies are critically acclaimed, but they're all movies you'll love years later for the pure stathamness of them
Watch Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels if you haven't, perfect Statham before he became a Hollywood actor.
In space, no one can hear you sequel.
You guys did Face/Off and Con Air... now we need The Rock
Yes please
Oh how many of the audience are gonna swoon over Connery
Done.
@@RyanAggabao probably about ten-ish
Would guardians of the galaxy be con air 2 in space?
I like planes chains and a guy from mobile,but you should have went with Sky Hard
Love Con-Air , it's such a classic
You never go full Nic Cage...
“That movie is MADE of cocaine...” Spence, you win YT Film essays forever lmao
The thing is that Face off also has Travolta on a craziness peak
Cage must've really liked Tombstone judging by how much his Southern accent sounds like Doc Holliday.
Con Air prequel : Wild West train ride full of convicts?
Does anyone watch just the honest trailers? I always go for the commentary first.
I usually watch this first then watch the actual trailer with friends.
I don't even watch the trailers sometimes, but I always watch the commentary.
@@AndrewJakober same here
Con Air and The Rock are my go to rewatch every few years! Just so much fun and great cast! Nice job guys!!
If Nick Cage was cast as the undercover agent they could have skipped the whole trial and daughter story, giving time for MORE ACTION!
But we wouldn't have the bunny scenes.
...unless the bunny was part of his cover story, and where he hid his gun.
Retroactive RED inspiration for Malkovich?
@@Cuuniyevo Not a very convenient gun location. How is it a cover story when Cage himself was trying to hide it?
@@jp3813 Well, to continue going down this rabbit hole...
Poe, undercover in prison for the past few years, is being reassigned to another case. His idiot DEA boss insists on giving him a gun, as in the movie but anticipating that Cusack's character will object, he sneaks the gun to Poe inside a birthday gift for his (fake?) daughter.

@@Cuuniyevo Not a good cover story if it gets the other prisoners to distrust you.
Spencer's Southern accent made me snort cola out of my nose. I got the vapours!
I always loved how the plane lands on the strip and then is in Downtown Old Town Vegas 30 seconds later...
"Buys dinosaurs and castles" 😂
Nic Cage’s southern accent is straight civil war veteran and I love it
This episode was really really good!!!! Lon and Spencer work really well as a duo!!!
Jim Carrey had a great 3 movie run in the 90’s: Ace Ventura, The Mask & Dumb & Dumber.
Does Liar Liar fit in there anywhere?
@@jamstonjulian6947 If it did it wouldn't be a trilogy....it would be a ummm...quadrology...yeah we'll go with that..
4:22 Jai Courtney? Only thought of him because Screen Junkies seem to love bemoaning his performances.
Nah jai courtney is too bland. I loved him in Spartacus but that's it. Nic cage is OUT THERE. Jai puts people to sleep.
Zach Gunter I also really loved him in Spartacus. I can’t think of a movie that I enjoyed his performance in. He probably should stick too tv work.
The plane in con air doesn't have a pressurized cabin, so guns could be on the plane, they just forbade them in case of what happened in the movie.
Years later and this movie stands the test.
Knew what it was and it loved every minute of it.
been waiting for the Con Air trailer , really bummed Dan and Joe isn't here
The connection he got with that little girl during the tea party was what made Garland Green decide not to hurt children anymore. At least that's my reading of it.
That bit of instrumental Lon sang(?) at 2:26 was actually Carl Stalling performing Raymond Scott's "Powerhouse" - he conducted all the Looney Tunes music from their golden age.
The sand quote from Attack of the Clones might be my favorite part of this Honest Trailer, although there's a lot to like here. :)
I love The Rock and Con Air and Face/Off, but I had no clue they came out in that close a proximity to each other (although in retrospect it does make sense)
Cameron Poe gets home and we find a man painting polka dots on the walls. “Who is that?”, we ask. Cameron turns to camera: “That’s my dotter.”
Can't believe you guys haven't done Starship Troopers yet
Man, I have such fond memories of that movie. I know it's not a good film, but I still love it.
Just a tiny correction, it's "Powerhouse" by Raymond Scott and not by Gershwin
Please do Rounders! I still quote KGB whenever I play poker. “No chyeck here”
I still love the fact Nicholas Cage had to turn on the Christmas lights in Bath to settle a debt.
This is one of my favorite Honest Trailers in a long time. Peak Nicholas Cage is a thing of beauty.
Let us not forget in the realm of 90s action films that the first act of U.S. Marshals was pretty much a less goofy Con-Air. And starred Two Face, Blade, and Iron Man. I mean Agent K, Willie Mays Hayes, and Sherlock Holmes. Ty Cobb, Simon Phoenix, and Charlie Chaplin? Eh, you know who I’m talking about.
This movie was the first time I saw John Cusack’s hair get messed up-only after the door explodes at him.
4:20 It'd be like telling someone today that the "MARTHA!" scene from BvS is remembered as the best scene from all the modern superhero movies.
Oh, this makes me so happy and nostalgic!!
Lon being named after a piece from pogs is great
Have you ever thought of making HT's for notorious box-office bombs as part of Blockbuster Summer? Because I'd love to see one for something like Wild Wild West!
As always, thank you so much for the video.
Loved this teamup!
ConAir 2 in space? Lockout?
You guys’ll always be my Daredevil and Elektra! ✊🤼♂️🙌🤣
OMG...Face Off is my FAVORITE movie...Under Seige is a close 2nd. 🤣
Nicolas Cage in Peggy Sue got Married is my Nicolas Cage.
Please do the Lethal Weapon franchise!
Oh yeah. Gud one! 👍
Was Spencer going to say "Marvelous"? But yea I got your clue for next week xD Captain Marvel
idk cuzs they are doing past summer blockbusters
Yeah, Cap Marvel wasn't a summer blockbuster
That came out in March. If anything, it's a winter blockbuster.
More a spring film.
"Control your emotions" is the giveaway. And they've said on Reddit that they'll pause the Blockbuster Summer theme to cover newer movies.
Although I was hoping they'd cover Captain Marvel two weeks from now, since that would be their 300th Honest Trailer.

I hear the 300th Honest Trailer is happening two weeks from now! Do you have any surprises in store for us?
Man, it's a shame they already did an Honest Trailer for 300...
Equilibrium next week?
That was my thought too.
Gerard Butler is my Nic Cage of today!
Yeeeeeesssss I was just thinking that.
My platoon was warned in boot camp (USMC) about not using that specific move, upper-cut-palm-strike-to-the-chin, against civilians. Because, yes, we would be handled in court differently. Maybe the Green Berets didn't have that part of the class, maybe he just forgot in the heat of the 3 on 1 fight, and maybe he reacted to the presence of a deadly weapon.

I have to admit to liking Mister Malkovich in the Reds.
"The system works." laughing my f*cking ass off.
Next week... I, Robot?
My guess was Equilibirum.
After this everyone should go hear the how did this get made podcast about con air
Will do! I love their podcast but haven't listened to that one.
If you've got a problem with John Cusack in High Fidelity, then you've got a problem with Nick Hornby, because that's the way the character was written in the book.
After I read the book, I thought casting John Cusack was the only thing that made that character tolerable.
Actually air martial use bullets designed not to puncture a fuselage. They’re made out of compressed copper powder, and they’re called frangables.
Damn, now I wanna watch this movie. It's been so long.
There actually IS something like Con Air in space - a movie called Lockout :) Not that much over the top but I still like it a lot :)
Didn't they the "cool guy accompanied by guitar licks" with Aquaman?

Loving Con Air
I love this movie and forgive it all its flaws. I think it’s probably because so many great actors really putting in a top performance that ends up elevating the material.
Ah so next week its Equilibrium? Cool beans, loved that movie.
You're gonna do that one movie where people aren't allowed to feel and that Tom cruise looking guy shoots his gun in all directions at once
Are we gonna see some Gun Kata next week??
Are we gonna see Sean Bean die next week?
Fun fact: he does have a plot ready for burial in New Orleans when Nick Cage dies. He's living the life all right.
Isn't the Guy Pearce movie Lockdown just Con Air in space?
What happened to the commentary with Michael Bolton? Why isn't on YT anymore?
Keanu Reeve’s John Wick is the Cameron Poe of today.
the tension of garland green and the little girl works for me. you have no idea what he did or what he was going to do given the time, and the whole idea that he was sittin there with her having tea is creepy and tense and still gives me the creeps years later. just because he chose not to act on it right then for one reason or another, its the what could have happened thats tense and creepy
Based on the clue, I wonder if the next Honest Trailer will be for Equilibrium (2002).
15:25 Oh man, a Dragon Blade reference, I can't believe it. Found this and watched it with my brother years ago and it is a hilariously bad movie that we still quote to this day. Thanks for the commentary.
Hope that hint for next week is equilibrium!
Are they going to do Equilibrium?
