    Imagine being an A-list actor, and being told you'd get to play both the hero and the villain in the same movie. What a fun project this must have been for Cage and Travolta.

      ​@@VerowakReactsBeen a while since I've seen this movie 🍿🎥 but I think you are not a 100% on the acting of the acting ⁉️ Maybe the wrong side of 50/50?? Even with the "Face exchange" they are them acting like them?? Just them acting like they are the other,,,, acting like them (selves) until they FACE each other?? HAAA!! Ya this is Better than I remember!! Thanks Lady Verowak!! ☮️

      Not really. He's crazy before the face transfer but after that he just plays a pretty standard hero character, and that happens by the end of act 1. Travolta really brings it.

    Great choice. John Woo is incredible as a director. He’s mostly known for foreign films like Hard Boiled and The Killer, but his tone in the movies are the same: full blown nutty action. Glad you’re giving this underrated gem a reaction. Excited to watch.

    I do the "hand thing" on every first date i go on. The ladies love it. One of these days i might even go on a second date.
    More trivia:
    The movie was supposed to be set in "the near future", where the face technology would fit better, but for various reasons it was decided that it should be set in the present. Obviously they had to keep the surgery part.
    The boots the prisoners wore are reused props from the Super Mario Bros movie from 1993, because "they were cool".

  • @redviper6805

    I absolutely LOVED that you got to discover what the title meant real-time. Your expression at that moment is priceless! : D
    John Woo soecializes is absurd and incredible action with really unique corny sentimentality and romanticism that's so fun to watch. Face Off is the most successful vehicle for that for his American films but a few others are well worth watching. And his Hong Kong films are mind blowing.

    Face Off is basically a "greatest hits" John Woo film... and its a blast. "Hard Boiled" and "The Killer" are absolute must watch from him. You'll probably enjoy "Broken Arrow" too, lots of silly fun with Travolta again and Christian Slater, here you will discover Woo's dislike of Helicopters 😆 Good reaction.

    Jean-Claude Van Damme gets a lot of crap and probably deservedly, but John woo did direct, in my opinion one of the best Jean-Claude Van Damme movies in Hard Target (1993) ... If you care.
    John Woo has his style that I think appeals more to some than others ... The slow motion spins of heros dual wielding pistols as doves fly across the scene isn't for everyone, but I could watch his movies all day long.

    Face/Off is a great movie by John Woo. It's unfair to say this, but you can almost reduce John Woo movies down to 'Slow motion' and 'Doves'.
    Other movies of him that I liked are MI:2, Broken Arrow and Hard Target. There are other great movies that I have not seen.
    Many people complained about Mission Impossible 2. I believe these are people that mostly had not seen any of his previous movies including Face/Off
    Face/Off is a masterclass in acting and mimicry. John Travolta mimicking Nic Cage is brilliant and Nic Cage's over-acting was neccessary to establish Castor Troy's style so quickly.
    This is really good movie and I am glad you enjoyed it.

    This is one of the greatest movies ever, but not how they intended it to be. This is one of the better comedies to exist.
    Even the prospect of people not noticing taller & fat Travolta swapped faces with shorter more athletic Nick Cage. There’s one line I love, an FBI agent who’s got more power says “get the LAPD on this!”
    That line made me write a short story of a Secret Service agent saving the life of The President, & being promoted to the greatest crime prevention agencies ever… The LAPD!
    They’ve got jet packs, scrambler jets, super model secretaries, & even Dark Knight styled tank vehicles.

      I was thinking the same thing, lol. If you haven't seen Cage's newest film Renfield it's not bad. Some great action scenes with Cage as Renfield's boss count Dracula. Some of the clips are here on youtube. Just type in the search bar Renfield action scenes.

      @@VerowakReacts Definitely check out Leaving Las Vegas. Sometimes it's hard to tell why Nic Cage is so well regarded as an actor since he can be a little zany in his roles, but Leaving Las Vegas will make it clear.
      Also, if you want another John Woo film you should check out Broken Arrow which also stars John Travolta. It's a rather standard action film plot, so nothing quite as high concept as Face/Off, but you'll get to see some more of Woo's skill as an action director and it's a pretty solid film.

    A bit late to the party. You said something about Nicolas Cage in a serious role. I heard good things about the movie "Pig" from 2021. It's a drama about a reclusive truffle-hunter whose foraging pig gets stolen. It's the director's first feature film and maybe counts as an indie movie, I'm not sure. But the critics especially loved Cage's performance.

    A Stallone vs Schwarzeneggar Face Off would have been much weaker IMO. Stallone is a good, sometimes great, actor, but Arnold, not so much. He's come a long way, but during this period, I don't think he could have carried either role sufficiently. Denzel vs Snipes and Pacino vs DeNiro would have been amazing though.
