This movie has the same energy of "If I was in FNAF I would fight back, I wouldn't get killed by a dumb animatronic" comment and it's fucking great honestly
My biggest disappointment with the film was the fact the line “He’s not trapped in here with them, they’re trapped in here with him.” wasn't '“He’s not trapped in here with them, they’re CAGED in here with him.”. Would have been perfect....
Even if the whole concept for the movie is suspiciously familiar, the mere fact that Nick Cage's character takes his job so seriously, despite everything going on, even to the point where he takes breaks as if he's just some regular employee is pretty unique and hilarious. And him not talking makes it even funnier because you have no idea why he's this insistent on keeping the place clean lmao. He gives off the vibe of a person who's played a videogame so many times that it doesn't scare them anymore, so they're just intensely focused on completing all the quests as efficiently as they can.
Yeah. He is getting a car repair pretty much free of any of his money, too. He could also been a kid that use to go to Willy's before seeing a massacre.
This movie suddenly makes a lot more sense when you choose to believe that it's all actually just a video game. I kept joking to myself that Nic's character is acting a lot like a speedrunner playing an old horror game from the 00's or something, and that's when I was like "oh shit wait a minute." The fake night sky. That's just a poorly textured skybox. The weird tropey behavior of the other actors. Duh, they're NPCs. Nic's obsession with those soda drinks. They're obviously how he heals, or they're power-ups or something. The foam appendages actually doing damage.... it's all video game logic. We don't see what Nic sees - he's got a hud and ui and everything. There's dialogue boxes over the NPCs that he's desperately trying to skip through. He's mute because he's the silent protagonist. Boom.
I have a game idea for this: there are 3 teams team 1 - Animatronics: kill all the teenagers team 2 - Teenagers: survive and weaken the animatronics team 3 - Nick the Janitor: everytime your break ends, you must protect the teenagers, and hunt down one of the animatronics, cleaning up messes will add bonus points, you are invincible, and if the Teenagers weakened the animatronics or if they have low health, you can perform glory kills. And the more punch you consume in your break time and the more points you rack up in pinball, the faster and stronger you will be on your shift.
you missed a huge overarching story, Cage's character was mute due to a childhood incident that traumatized him... theorized online that he was one of the original kids to be attacked but actually survived, he intentionally drove over the spike strip, and knew exactly where he was and what he was doing. he went all that way, to be locked in, and deal with the animatronics himself. which is why he shows familiarity with the establishment, and shows so much attention to the old pinball machine. he used to go there as a child.
@@Maxdud I have OCD and can also attribute the super literal "breaks" to his ocd, as in his mind he's taking the janitorial duties extremely seriously, which is also why he scrubs the ever living hell out of the place, it's compulsion. not choice.
It's like when they wrote his character maybe when the alarm goes off and he leaves is more part of his traumatic experience and him sticking to some sort of OCD no matter what's going on at the time
The nail file scene makes perfect sense if you've been a janitor. His fingers look dry and irritated bc he's been scrubbing cleaner into things with them for hours. I actually really like this movie as someone who was a nighttime janitor for years. This is exactly how you would act if anything was trying to keep you from getting home to sleep.
Nicolas Cage himself said he basically only does movies that interest him, and also that his interests hop around a lot, which can be both good him being in smaller movies, and bad, when he loses interest in a film mid-way.
@@axbix Cage alleges that his business manager failed to file for taxes and encouraged risky investments, whereas the manager says that Cage was living well beyond his means. Either way, he now says yes to anything to pay off his debts. I think the writer of this film was being a bit too generous when he said how excited Cage was to do this.
@Tyler Kincade oh, definitely. Willy’s Wonderland, The Color From Out of Space and Mom & Dad are exactly the kind of projects that feed into his best qualities as an actor, so no doubt he’s mostly paid his dues by now. I still think he’s a cautionary tale for big name actors - maybe focus on the quality of your work instead of buying castles, because if you keep saying yes to anything you’ll run out of castle money 😂
That makes the headcanon for this movie so much more fun Like, he hasn't touched the main quest line yet, but he's obviously got STR and REF maxxed out already.
@@procrastinator547 I think that might be a rumor to explain why he does all these out there movies. He told Variety in an interview earlier this year he left Hollywood because of the constraints studios put on his eccentric acting, he likes the lower budget independent work because of the freedom to experiment and be fluid
Willy's Wonderland is unironically one of my favorite movies. It has absolutely fabulous visuals imo, is very fun, and I just love the simplicity of it; the entire point being "Nick Cage doesn't give a fuck". Kinda like the "show, don't tell" version of Shia LaBeouf's "JUST DO IT" speech, which is refreshing after watching thousands of people in movies and also real life constantly complain and fail at things (including ourselves).
I think you may be on to something. Maybe he was hired to be a janitor and some people found out and decided to film a movie around him. He just wanted to finish his job but the director kept throwing weird shit at him so Nick freaked out and just destroyed their stuff. That’s why there’s no dialogue.
To be fair, I like the idea that the reason why Nic Cage is so weird in this movie it's because, as you mentioned, dude's a videogame player character. Silent Protagonist, is given a side quest (Clean the place) and he's doing it be the last thing he does, he does mini games (the pinball), he only works in "levels" and "boss fights," he's never really filthy despite the carnage... He's just the Dragonborn honestly.
I think its better he doesn't say a single word. It makes it more funny, cause i see him as less of a silent badass and more more of a dude who just doesn't give a shit about whats going on
What you missed is that Willy was actually the smartest. He was trying to stay out of Nick's way. That's why he killed the cop who kept brining Nick to him.
That is hilarious. Take the sacrifice! Runs off. No! I don't want him! You can keep him! Runs off. He's here! Well I don't want him! Stop bringing this terrifying man to me!
I imagine that the reason The Janitor was so set on completing tasks and taking breaks and stuff is a play on gaming, the kitchen was a safe room to resupply and heal, also his obsessive cleaning and playing the arcade game is a reference to maxxing out your stats on side quests. He’s also got the silent badass protagonist trope, and the kids explaining to him everything is classic exposition dumping.
The way the character was written makes it seem like he's showing signs of ptsd and ocd making you think that he was one of the kids who was attacked and he was wanting to come to the town.
Sodaworks yep. That also explains why he’s tough as nails and has a strong attention to details and orders (his main focus is cleaning the building, even though he knows he’s being hunted down, just because those were the orders given to him by the owner)
Also, if he was also traumatized from willy’s as a kid, it explains his addiction to soda, a form of coping mechanism that develops young and lingers through life
@Subject 2 you know I've been thinking of a way to clarify that what you're writing is sarcasm for a long time,and writing /s is basically the same as saying at the end (btw that was sarcasm) it just ruins the whole comment I think the best way to say that this is sarcasm without actually saying it is is by TyPiNg LiKe tHis Ex:THat WaS vEry RuDe Of you!!!!!!
I can’t remember if it was a theory or canon, but I read something about Nicks character actually visited the place as a kid, and was terrorized by the animatronics. This left him with PTSD and left him mute, and he actually drove over the spike strip on purpose because he knew it would get him into Willys so he could take his revenge. This would explain his familiarity and possible nostalgia over the pinball machine, as well as his unending desire to fix/clean up the place.
Nic Cage in this movie is like the Doom Slayer he’s silent, doesn’t care about anything else, he solves his problems by punching, and cares about only one thing.
Okay, so this movie IS a video game. Silent protagonist given weird objective - doesn't question it, just does it. Kills the first boss (Ozzie), gets cleaned up (like in video games when you're randomly no longer covered in blood, etc.), drinks health item (purple Punch drink), continues completing objective(s) until silent protag triggers the next boss fight.
The reason she wouldn't just help him is because him killing so many of those animatronics highlights how all the people she's sacrificed to them were pointless. Most people won't want to look at a truth like that, and instead lash out.
Cage is from an action game world. He's silent, he has rules he has to follow, and he's capable of effectively fighting back. Everyone else is from a horror movie doing horror movie things and being baffled by Cage defying their logic. Towards the end that one girl enters Cages world and is able to fight back and when she gets in his car she doesn't say anything; they just understand each other because they're in the same world now.
Nick Cage seems like a cool dude. I’m not always a fan of his movies, but the guy just seems to do what he wants and respects the indie filmmakers with modest budgets and I like that.
Yeah I agree, well the nick cage now seems more humble, and just a better outlook on life and just has fun with his roles. And even outside of movies he seems really cool in interviews. But the nick cage from a few years back was kind of stupid, and full of himself and was just like most movie stars who get rich and bought stuff he couldn't afford and ended up going broke and losing everything... And he was one of the most paid actors at one time so he wasted a lot of money lol but he's been paying his debt and has money now and seems like a changed guy, I'm proud he's doing better than other famous people who just don't learn
You can tell he had fun making this movie. Is it a good movie? No lol not at all, but it’s Nick Cage being himself (albeit mute) beating up Chuck E Cheese robots. It’s hilariously stupid
he did an awesome A.M.A online. seems like a really cool guy that genuinely love films, he answered everyone openly and honestly and spent way more time responding than almost any I have seen. also seems to watch everything since his favourites are spirited away and apocalypse now
@@karrimgyver i wouldn't take everything you hear about a celebrities debt or worth online as fact but i have heard the same. many celebs have said the info on the internet about their wealth isn't true or even close though
I wonder if the reason Cage's Character had such a clean beard, changed his shirt after every murder, filed his nails with sandpaper, and etc., was to make him seem like a psychotic germaphobe or perhaps a very heavy case of OCD where his compulsion to clean comes before the thought of killing the rest of the machines or even leaving the establishment. Just an idea though of what the writers could have been trying to convey.
I do think it’s pretty incredible that they managed to do so much with a character with zero dialogue. You see it a lot in video games for convenience, but you don’t see it almost at all in movies, and I think the director and the writer need some praise for it. Y’all can shut me down and say it’s easy or whatever, but it’s way harder to tell a story through action than it is to tell a story through dialogue.
True. And I wouldn't say this is a good way to do it without dialogue. But... this looks like a fun movie to watch with friends. Definitely adding it to my backlog.
if there are characters in a game that don't talk especially if it is the main character, it is because you are meant to be the character. put yourself in that characters position. it is not "out of convenience"
Nics refusal to speak in this movie makes it feel like an art film. Like no one else on the cast was able to act as well as him and he didn’t even act other than physically. He ironically said more than anyone without saying anything.
"I'm not here locked with you. Y'all locked up here with me... but I'm gonna take breaks between cleaning the place and beating the shit out of y'all, just to give you a fighting chance."
How to actually survive Nicolas cage: mind your business wait for him to Go after he finishes his job then go for the easy prey don't go after Nicolas cage you'll just be Beaten up and torn apart easily
This movie has such a strange amount of camp that I actually think I would like it. The fact, that Cage's character focuses on cleaning and being clean himself is very interesting.
I said while watching it that it was oddly satisfying, honestly. I like a bit of bloodlust but I like watching it being cleaned up, I guess that's why Viscera Cleanup Detail is one of my fave games XD
Honestly this movie was so dumb I was laughing the whole way through. I absolutely loved it: Nick Cage just being an absolute chad, the dudes making a deal with satan to inhabit those robots, it was so dumb that you can't not love it
@@umbertorossin5977 thats apart of it's charm and sooner than later there will be a remake that will make you go like "damn it's SO GOOD but i still like the original"
This movie is a literal masterpiece. I don't see why you would think that the fact that Nicholas Cage literally pulling an assassin's creed on every single one of these serial-killer-possessed animatronics like he's taking a dog for a walk, all while chugging about 20 cans of punch and playing pinball like he's a kid in the 1980's makes the movie so bad. For real though, Nicholas Cage matches the power of Shaggy in this movie.
Well it’s because he’s the lord of shitty movies. It goes from a bad movie that’s not funny to a bad movie that’s funny because it becomes self aware and capitalizes on it. Think about it shitty movies are his specialty, it wouldn’t have the same effect for a good movie because it would be good and wouldn’t need to become self aware in its terribleness
I think willies is more a parody with the animatronics, nick cage not talking and the whole silent but strong protagonist who takes brakes, cleans, dances around playing pinball and leaves the other characters practically to die. idk I loved the movie and was laughing through the entire film
I can just imagine... if when they performed that satanic ritual, they accidentally possessed a couple of chairs instead of the animatronics. that would have been hilarious!
I like the theory that he was one of the kids attacked at willy’s back in the day but he escaped. Traumatized his whole life, he returns to seek vengeance on willy’s by destroying the animatronics and cleaning/restoring it to its former glory. It would explain his familiarity with the pinball machine, and the reaction he has to the birthday song. Plus some of the looks he gives early on tell me he knows what’s up.
There is also a theory that he is a personification of death. He was on his way to collect the souls that were in the animatronic but he got stopped by the road spike. Him needing repairs obviously led to him striking a deal to clean the place he was already going (something about death either liking to make deals or being forced to honor a deal. This also explains why he has to take a break every hour, even of he's in the middle of a fight. The owner told him to, thus making it part of the deal that has to be followed.) And the reason he likes the pinball machine is because death likes to play games. I watched a review that did a better job of explaining this theory but I can't remember who it was. Personally, I like this theory
I absolutely love Nick's character in this. He feels like he knows he's the main character. You can't stop him, because HE is the protagonist. HE has the plot armor. YOU don't.
The man doesn't talk, hates filth, has to stick to a strict schedule, likes a very specific food to an obsessive level, is ridiculously good at a specific game and has to change when icky stuff gets on him. As an autistic individual, I am seeing some similarities, albeit overplayed
Fnaf night guard: doesn’t care about the robots and just does their job Willys wonderland Janitor: does his job and destroys animatronics if they get in the way
Fun fact that ozzie the ostrich fight was actually achieved with people in green morph suits jerking the body all over the place then the green screen effect was added
omg I would've died of laughter. That would've been perfect. He just deadpan turns around, bends her shotgun, goes back in and starts scrubbing the bathroom.
I was just waiting for him to just grab it out of her hand Terminator-style and snapping it in half or something. Honestly, my only complaint about this film is that they didn't take the absurd Nick Cage murder machine thing even further and make him literally immortal or something. The film clearly isn't taking itself very seriously, and the sheer over-the-top-ness of Nick Cage's character and how they almost play on his legendary cult/meme-status is the source of nearly all the entertainment value in this film.
This film is a perfect example of how a film can be objectively bad in so many ways and yet be deeply entertaining. I met my cousins for the first time in 7 years, and we had an absolute blast just watching this film and laughing over how stupid everything was and the absurd, memey badassery of Nick Cage's character.
Nick Cage being himself beating the shit out of animatronics. It’s not supposed to be good or deep, just hilariously stupid entertainment. I’m just glad Nick Cage gave it his all. Idk if I’ve ever seen a film where the man half asses it.
What if Cage's character isn't human, but someone sent by whatever they had made the pact with to reap them back? Almost like a supernatural contract killer or bounty hunter of sorts. It would explain why he doesn't speak, only drinks the Punch drink and nothing else, and follows what he's told to do about his job almost completely to the letter, (having to have a shirt that shows he's an employee, always take his breaks on time, and clean despite the crazy around him). It would also explain why he's really enjoying the pinball machine.
a channel called Cinema Summaries pointed out that he may have ptsd from being a victim of the animatronics before, he could have came back for revenge
@@lordtoomas That is the prevailing theory I've heard. which explains him being mute, as a huge traumatic event like that as a child can actually cause them to go mute, so more like a child who had their childhood memories ruined, and spent all that time, as a broken man preparing to take revenge on the creepy assholes who ruined your childhood.
idk ab thousands of grams ... i didn’t even watch the movie but the average can of pop has like 25 mg caffeine, and a lot of pops, especially non-colas, have 0 caffeine. ik you’re not being serious but js lmao
@@samael4550 Dude, It's in the thousands, the prop itself says 350mg, So do the math. About 12 were drank in the span of the film. 12 x 350 = 4,200. That's in the fatal times.
the thing many don't get with this movie is that nick literally does everything he is told to do. that's the unique thing of the character. like... he is told to clean the building till next day and that's what he does. he is told to have many breaks and that's what he does... and so on. that's also why he gives the knife back. because he really has to take the break and the girl has to protect herself.
yeah nic's character has a severe OCD complex in everything he does, similar to autism spectrum OCD. I have very severe OCD myself as part of my dyspraxia since childhood, and though very severe it's abit different than autism spectrum OCD, where the dyspraxia one is very socially aware but just attaches a compulsive checking to particular random things and you are aware of it, try to break the cycle and may take hours to break free of checking something out of fear its not in order in order to reassure, but a part of the brain is unable to switch to relax mode, and the fear starts up again, and so the compulsion to check is so strong that even the rational knowledge you have that you already checked it a reasonable number of times beyond reasonable doubt that it is in order/is ok, cannot break you free of the worry and check cycle. the autism version lacks a social awareness of the world around them. that's the version of nic's character, which he plays along with his normal leather heavy, truck rocker, greasy, crazy nic that we all know.
@@shaunhumphreys6714 damn never thought about that. It really fits the character perfectly and nick really plays is role on point. But besides this, hope you managing good so far man. Life can be a bitch sometimes. Just keep on going bro.
@@shaunhumphreys6714 Wow... that's a damn good description. He really just keeps his tasks in the forefront of his mind. He wants to get back on the road, the only way to do that: clean the building, take breaks. He follows through with these tasks completely blind to what some might consider common sense (i.e. There are killer robots here, run away. The girl is in danger, save her life. The owner probably knows about this, call the police.) He just kinda,,, receives instructions and carries them out with precision, handling anything that gets in his way in such direct and strange ways. Gorilla in your way? Kick its head into a urinal, when it's dead keep cleaning. Girl trying to murder siren animatronic? Take knife, carry girl away over your shoulder. Neutralize threat, finish cleaning. Take breaks. For a movie about robots possessed with humans, Nick acts very robotic in the way he carries out his tasks... now that you've compared it to obsessive compulsivity with autism I can't unsee it. That could explain why he's completely nonverbal as well save for when he's grunting and screaming as he fights.
The kids are actually noob players that went into a high level dungeon and Nick is the overpowered NPC that kills nearby hostile enemies but is interrupted by his other predetermined patterns.
I came across this movie totally by accident. I had never heard of it before and had no idea what to expect. And I absolutely loved it. XD The fact that Cage's character never spoke a single word the entire time was hilarious to me. lol I imagine that if you had a lot of hype built up prior to the release of the film, it might be a bit disappointing. But for someone who just hears about it and can immediately watch it, it's pretty fantastic. lol
idk why everyones shitting on the movie because Elvis is. the movie is like a solid 6.5 i love it. but i guess because i kinda went into it not expecting much while he and others prob did. i mean i dont know what the hell yall we're expecting but hey.
I think Cage’s character was supposed to be an ex-military guy who doesn’t talk much because he’s seen shit. There’s dog tags in his car at the beginning and it would explain the “strict schedule” thing as well as the “always following direct orders” (like following what Tex said about breaks) and being obsessed with cleaning (because he was used to doing all those things back when he was still in the military).
Someone should make a movie called “The Janitor” and it would be about a Janitor at the scp foundation during a 049 - 2 breach with Nicolas Cage as the Janitor
Alternate title: Nicholas cage beats the everloving crap out of the Willie's wonderland animatronics, plays pin ball, and dances his life away: the movie.
Tbh i think the story of this movie is like a videogame and Nick is the playable protagonist. When he cleans he is doing a secondary task (like those missions in games that just gives you a prize or in-game money, but don't affect the story)
I like that there is so mutch detail like example: Nicolas cages acting hes not acting badly but the way hes face is in the hole movie is a sign of OCD the way he cleans the hole place with respect and i believe the theory that he was the kid that was bitten in the shoulder. And when hes fighting the gecko and the ballerina he uses HIS SHOULDER to take the ballerina down.
That’s not how OCD works. It’s a lot more unpleasant than a cleanliness compulsion, trust me. I’d much rather be incredibly anal-retentive than have OCD...the compulsions are a bitch to keep in line & constantly rejecting such impulses can be depressing
@@christopherlowery3797 , i was going to comment this. my bestfriend has ocd and the way she explains it is she feels compulsive urges to redo things until they feel right, and it goes beyond being ‘clean and tidy’. while i have no clue what it’s like personally, i can understand from what i’ve been told.
I think the underlying plot was that Nic Cage was one of the kids at Willys when they were murdering people and he was traumatised so he voluntarily returned to kill the animatronics as an adult. The love of the soda and the pinball machine harkens back to the things that he loved as a child at Willys, I think his character is suffering from extreme PTSD but rather than withdrawing, he's channelling it into the cleaning and killing of the animatronics, trying to restore Willys to the place it should've been when he was a child.
this is the fourth fucking time I watched this and I just realized the reason why the Cardboard Cutout of Nick is silent because Nick's role in the movie is silent god fucking damn it
*Agent:* This film is loosely based on _Five Nights at Freddy's_ but you're playing an action hero as a janitor who beat the crap out of those animatronic mascots. *Nicolas Cage:* _BRILLIANT! LET'S GO!_
@@dieselpunk4117 yeah, it's very clear that this was inspired by FNAF. If you wrote this independently, you'd have to go really far out of your way to say "I know this sounds unlikely given how close the subject matter is, but I actually only learned about FNAF after I wrote this script". I don't buy it.
In regards to why the robots have actual deadly weapons: We cant forget that the business was run by an actual serial killer. Of course the weapons were real.
Is nobody going to mentioning the whole reason the main Character is silent is because its(a reference to the game series that inspired it, FNAF) -a reference to a majority of video games- having a main character that doesn’t talk? Like even when they are spoken to, they just stare and don’t say a word? No? Okay
This also lines up with Nick Cages character being named the protagonist, with why the main character seemingly ignores all injuries until the final fight (because most games ignore that until after the final fight where it's appropriate), why the killers approach him one after another and why he cleans himself up after every boss fight (since your attire in video games usually resets after every level and not taking any wounds our splatter into consideration).
Even the deaths are like, *Nick and Liv walk into a room after some dumb kids die* *Little shock at witnessing a bloodbath* *Nick stares at bodies on the ground after beating the shit out of a cutesy mascot* *Liv looks mildly disturbed and says sorry* *End scene*
It’s even structured like a game. The punch pop,the cleaning,the pinball…and even how he encounters the animatronics… …how has nobody made a game based on this? Someone call devolver!
There’s a theory that Cages character went to the place when he was a kid and saw something traumatic, that’s why he loves the pin ball and the punch because it reminds him of better times, and so trained to kill them and then finally goes back. When he finally goes back he honours his memories of the place (always takes his breaks, doesn’t destroy the animatronics, makes sure it’s clean) and so didn’t let anyone other than himself kill them. It makes sense actually and explains a lot so I like it :)
@@justtaylor8204 yeah, its a really solid theory that nick was the kid who got bite of 87'd in the flashback but the only plothole in the theory is we dont see any shoulder scars
its some how funnier having nick cage be mute, imagine how hard it mustve been for him not not speak, you keep expecting him to say something but he just never does
See, this is genius. Alternatively, he was an animatronic built to clean up the animatonics who go rogue, and in the end he opens up a basement to show a army of unactivated animatronics. Snap to black.
I have a better idea: At the end, Liv takes a sip of the can Nic shared her, and then, a narrator invites you to drink Punch, REVEALING THAT THE ENTIRE MOVIE WAS A PUNCH COMMERCIAL. That would be a great PUNCHline.
Clearly he has much respect for the place, which explains why he cleaned the heck out of the place. Maybe he was a child that used to go there regularly. Which is also why he played with the pinball machine. Childhood nostalgia.
That's actually a genius theory. That's one thing this movie pretty much excelled at. Since the main character is kind of a blank slate, we can fill in the holes however we want!
I loved this movie so much, truly felt like a a good modern b-rated horror comedy. The porn acting from the supporting cast, the badass stoic main character, the concept being wacky and hilarious, fighting evil animatronics. It was the best, 10/10 no more notes
Honestly with how quiet he is, part of me thinks I'd love to see a movie based on Black Mesa or Half Life 2 with NICK as Gordon. He has a lot of facial range and it would be hilarious.
This movie has the same energy of "If I was in FNAF I would fight back, I wouldn't get killed by a dumb animatronic" comment and it's fucking great honestly
It has "I'm built different" energy lol

team 3 - Nick the Janitor: everytime your break ends, you must protect the teenagers, and hunt down one of the animatronics, cleaning up messes will add bonus points, you are invincible, and if the Teenagers weakened the animatronics or if they have low health, you can perform glory kills. And the more punch you consume in your break time and the more points you rack up in pinball, the faster and stronger you will be on your shift.
you missed a huge overarching story, Cage's character was mute due to a childhood incident that traumatized him... theorized online that he was one of the original kids to be attacked but actually survived, he intentionally drove over the spike strip, and knew exactly where he was and what he was doing. he went all that way, to be locked in, and deal with the animatronics himself. which is why he shows familiarity with the establishment, and shows so much attention to the old pinball machine. he used to go there as a child.
Ohhh great analysis
thank you I love you :)
Holy shit
Oh and he smacked the animatronoc and kept wincing at the animatronics
@@Maxdud I have OCD and can also attribute the super literal "breaks" to his ocd, as in his mind he's taking the janitorial duties extremely seriously, which is also why he scrubs the ever living hell out of the place, it's compulsion. not choice.
The part where he leaves the girl to fight for herself because it's time for his break killed me
same lmao
Jesus Christ is Lord. Please take your salvation seriously, read, and do what the Bible says. It is all True.
Man got his priorities. Can't interrupt the animatronic killer on its break time can we?
It's like when they wrote his character maybe when the alarm goes off and he leaves is more part of his traumatic experience and him sticking to some sort of OCD no matter what's going on at the time
@@royliber3824 spoken like a true worker of the customer service industry.
God, I hated when people interrupted my break
The nail file scene makes perfect sense if you've been a janitor. His fingers look dry and irritated bc he's been scrubbing cleaner into things with them for hours. I actually really like this movie as someone who was a nighttime janitor for years. This is exactly how you would act if anything was trying to keep you from getting home to sleep.
So you are saying you were willing to fight killer animatronics while high on soda just to be able to go home and sleep?
@@nguyenquyetthang1326 that's just being a janitor
@@nguyenquyetthang1326Did he friggin stutter?!
Nicolas Cage himself said he basically only does movies that interest him, and also that his interests hop around a lot, which can be both good him being in smaller movies, and bad, when he loses interest in a film mid-way.
He also has a surprising amount of patience. He stayed on for Superman Lives whilst in it lingered in development hell for *YEARS.*
But I thought he was under contract to do every movie that he gets? Wasn't there something like that?
@@johnjackson9819 I thought it was something about him getting caught for tax evasion.
@@axbix Cage alleges that his business manager failed to file for taxes and encouraged risky investments, whereas the manager says that Cage was living well beyond his means. Either way, he now says yes to anything to pay off his debts. I think the writer of this film was being a bit too generous when he said how excited Cage was to do this.
@Tyler Kincade oh, definitely. Willy’s Wonderland, The Color From Out of Space and Mom & Dad are exactly the kind of projects that feed into his best qualities as an actor, so no doubt he’s mostly paid his dues by now. I still think he’s a cautionary tale for big name actors - maybe focus on the quality of your work instead of buying castles, because if you keep saying yes to anything you’ll run out of castle money 😂
The reason he's taking his job so seriously is to complete all the side quests to max out his stats.
someone finally said it
Lol
Yessir
The devs didn’t give him a voice he talks through a dialogue box that we can’t see
That makes the headcanon for this movie so much more fun
Like, he hasn't touched the main quest line yet, but he's obviously got STR and REF maxxed out already.
The fact that Nicholas Cage is using his influence on this fun smaller project has really increased my respect for him.
Isn’t he like legally obligated to accept any and all work because of his massive massive debt?
@@procrastinator547 really? lol
@@procrastinator547 I think that might be a rumor to explain why he does all these out there movies.

Willy's Wonderland is unironically one of my favorite movies. It has absolutely fabulous visuals imo, is very fun, and I just love the simplicity of it; the entire point being "Nick Cage doesn't give a fuck". Kinda like the "show, don't tell" version of Shia LaBeouf's "JUST DO IT" speech, which is refreshing after watching thousands of people in movies and also real life constantly complain and fail at things (including ourselves).

Or Cage to fulfill his lifelong dream of either be a janitor or kick the shit out of animatronics.
I think you may be on to something. Maybe he was hired to be a janitor and some people found out and decided to film a movie around him. He just wanted to finish his job but the director kept throwing weird shit at him so Nick freaked out and just destroyed their stuff. That’s why there’s no dialogue.

Looooooool, that’s genius
So in other words, he's Gordon Freeman
Huh, makes sense.
To be fair, I like the idea that the reason why Nic Cage is so weird in this movie it's because, as you mentioned, dude's a videogame player character. Silent Protagonist, is given a side quest (Clean the place) and he's doing it be the last thing he does, he does mini games (the pinball), he only works in "levels" and "boss fights," he's never really filthy despite the carnage...
He's just the Dragonborn honestly.
dragonborn nic cage the ultimate life form

What you missed is that Willy was actually the smartest. He was trying to stay out of Nick's way. That's why he killed the cop who kept brining Nick to him.
"Here's your sacrifice!"
"STOP GIVING HIM TO ME I DON'T WANT HIM!"
Cammy was really smart because she was trying to form a bond with one of her victims until snapping his neck a few minutes later
That is hilarious.

Runs off.
He's here!
Well I don't want him! Stop bringing this terrifying man to me!
Woah. Are you a gemiest?
I imagine that the reason The Janitor was so set on completing tasks and taking breaks and stuff is a play on gaming, the kitchen was a safe room to resupply and heal, also his obsessive cleaning and playing the arcade game is a reference to maxxing out your stats on side quests. He’s also got the silent badass protagonist trope, and the kids explaining to him everything is classic exposition dumping.
The way the character was written makes it seem like he's showing signs of ptsd and ocd making you think that he was one of the kids who was attacked and he was wanting to come to the town.
That's what I originally asummed
But then I realised that in the start it has his dog tags. So he may be a war veteran who went through shit
Sodaworks yep. That also explains why he’s tough as nails and has a strong attention to details and orders (his main focus is cleaning the building, even though he knows he’s being hunted down, just because those were the orders given to him by the owner)
Also, if he was also traumatized from willy’s as a kid, it explains his addiction to soda, a form of coping mechanism that develops young and lingers through life
I personally like the fact that Nick Cage doesn't speak/does weird random stuff because he's supposed to play a person who's suffering from PTSD
@ALI IMRAN BIN ZULKIFLI Moe BRO OMG WHY YOUR SO DUMB OMFG (this was a joke)
PTSD or OCD?

Ex:THat WaS vEry RuDe Of you!!!!!!
I can’t remember if it was a theory or canon, but I read something about Nicks character actually visited the place as a kid, and was terrorized by the animatronics. This left him with PTSD and left him mute, and he actually drove over the spike strip on purpose because he knew it would get him into Willys so he could take his revenge.
This would explain his familiarity and possible nostalgia over the pinball machine, as well as his unending desire to fix/clean up the place.
Nic Cage in this movie is like the Doom Slayer he’s silent, doesn’t care about anything else, he solves his problems by punching, and cares about only one thing.
@Yude Vaincleaning out the demons
Every fight has the doom music

I'm glad I'm not the only person who thought this movie seemed like a Doom/FNaF crossover fanfiction.
Honestly the fact that he goes back to clean everything perfectly after each kill is amazing to me
Thanks for the review, Alan the Alien!

Okay, so this movie IS a video game. Silent protagonist given weird objective - doesn't question it, just does it. Kills the first boss (Ozzie), gets cleaned up (like in video games when you're randomly no longer covered in blood, etc.), drinks health item (purple Punch drink), continues completing objective(s) until silent protag triggers the next boss fight.
The new metal gear game looking wild
Mortuary assistant
Yup
The director was very inspired after playing fnaf
Also, he does not give a fuck about whether the NPC kids live or die.
Boss rush will be next.
The reason she wouldn't just help him is because him killing so many of those animatronics highlights how all the people she's sacrificed to them were pointless. Most people won't want to look at a truth like that, and instead lash out.
That is a very interesting way to look at it
I was thinking more "oh it'll make even more of a mess and if they aren't bothering me what's the point"
@@noahjacobs7169 that too
I think that type fo depth was missed by the authors.
Cage is from an action game world. He's silent, he has rules he has to follow, and he's capable of effectively fighting back. Everyone else is from a horror movie doing horror movie things and being baffled by Cage defying their logic. Towards the end that one girl enters Cages world and is able to fight back and when she gets in his car she doesn't say anything; they just understand each other because they're in the same world now.
Nick Cage seems like a cool dude. I’m not always a fan of his movies, but the guy just seems to do what he wants and respects the indie filmmakers with modest budgets and I like that.
Yeah I agree, well the nick cage now seems more humble, and just a better outlook on life and just has fun with his roles. And even outside of movies he seems really cool in interviews. But the nick cage from a few years back was kind of stupid, and full of himself and was just like most movie stars who get rich and bought stuff he couldn't afford and ended up going broke and losing everything... And he was one of the most paid actors at one time so he wasted a lot of money lol but he's been paying his debt and has money now and seems like a changed guy, I'm proud he's doing better than other famous people who just don't learn
Agreed. Even tho he pretty mutch *has* to take any job he can because his massive dept, my respect for him is through the roof because of that story
You can tell he had fun making this movie. Is it a good movie? No lol not at all, but it’s Nick Cage being himself (albeit mute) beating up Chuck E Cheese robots. It’s hilariously stupid
he did an awesome A.M.A online. seems like a really cool guy that genuinely love films, he answered everyone openly and honestly and spent way more time responding than almost any I have seen. also seems to watch everything since his favourites are spirited away and apocalypse now
@@karrimgyver i wouldn't take everything you hear about a celebrities debt or worth online as fact but i have heard the same. many celebs have said the info on the internet about their wealth isn't true or even close though
I wonder if the reason Cage's Character had such a clean beard, changed his shirt after every murder, filed his nails with sandpaper, and etc., was to make him seem like a psychotic germaphobe or perhaps a very heavy case of OCD where his compulsion to clean comes before the thought of killing the rest of the machines or even leaving the establishment. Just an idea though of what the writers could have been trying to convey.
“It’s like poetry, it rhymes”-George Lucas
Could even be non-verbal autism
That... makes a lot of sense
Bro, if he goes around cleaning while covered in muck he'll just make a mess, he's doing what any good janitor would do.
I read something that said the director imagined his breaks and pin ball playing as leveling up in a video game. I thought that was pretty interesting
I do think it’s pretty incredible that they managed to do so much with a character with zero dialogue. You see it a lot in video games for convenience, but you don’t see it almost at all in movies, and I think the director and the writer need some praise for it. Y’all can shut me down and say it’s easy or whatever, but it’s way harder to tell a story through action than it is to tell a story through dialogue.
I just want a video game where you play as Nic cage. Clean rooms and now and again beat up robots.
True. And I wouldn't say this is a good way to do it without dialogue. But... this looks like a fun movie to watch with friends. Definitely adding it to my backlog.
@@danisaksson3214 watched it at 2 am in discord with friends. We downed a can whenever Nic did on screen. It was an awesome night
if there are characters in a game that don't talk especially if it is the main character, it is because you are meant to be the character. put yourself in that characters position. it is not "out of convenience"
@@maximusgladi8or just be like the channel press start to laugh just voicing your character if they don’t talk, like the DoomSlayer
Nics refusal to speak in this movie makes it feel like an art film. Like no one else on the cast was able to act as well as him and he didn’t even act other than physically. He ironically said more than anyone without saying anything.
At the point where they had Nic clean the rooms I don’t even think he was acting, I just think they literally made him clean and then film him
Fnaf: survive the animatronics attacks
Willys wonderland: survive nick cages attacks
"I'm not here locked with you. Y'all locked up here with me... but I'm gonna take breaks between cleaning the place and beating the shit out of y'all, just to give you a fighting chance."
How to actually survive Nicolas cage: mind your business wait for him to Go after he finishes his job then go for the easy prey don't go after Nicolas cage you'll just be Beaten up and torn apart easily
Finishing:
On the haunted evil animatronics. Lol
facts
ngl that needs its own game
This movie has such a strange amount of camp that I actually think I would like it. The fact, that Cage's character focuses on cleaning and being clean himself is very interesting.
I agree actually, it's a nice aspect of a character who follows a specific routine
I said while watching it that it was oddly satisfying, honestly. I like a bit of bloodlust but I like watching it being cleaned up, I guess that's why Viscera Cleanup Detail is one of my fave games XD
Yeah because he has PTSD, mute and ocd are common factors of PTSD

@@umbertorossin5977 thats apart of it's charm and sooner than later there will be a remake that will make you go like "damn it's SO GOOD but i still like the original"
This movie is a literal masterpiece. I don't see why you would think that the fact that Nicholas Cage literally pulling an assassin's creed on every single one of these serial-killer-possessed animatronics like he's taking a dog for a walk, all while chugging about 20 cans of punch and playing pinball like he's a kid in the 1980's makes the movie so bad.
For real though, Nicholas Cage matches the power of Shaggy in this movie.
Nic Cage is such a chad that even the shittiest of movies can still be " somewhat- good " just by having him
Well it’s because he’s the lord of shitty movies. It goes from a bad movie that’s not funny to a bad movie that’s funny because it becomes self aware and capitalizes on it. Think about it shitty movies are his specialty, it wouldn’t have the same effect for a good movie because it would be good and wouldn’t need to become self aware in its terribleness
I love Nic Cage. Ever watched Leaving Las Vegas? It's really well-acted imo. Shit makes me sob when I watch it.
@@sarahg2653 ghost rider, forst one was good but 2 was nic cage type movie

Isn’t what we wanted but I’m glad we got it
This movie is 100% of what it promised to be. Is it a good movie, no is it a fun and enjoyable movie, ummm yes
Same here. I enjoyed the Brandon out of it.
I like the theory that he was one of the kids attacked at willy’s back in the day but he escaped. Traumatized his whole life, he returns to seek vengeance on willy’s by destroying the animatronics and cleaning/restoring it to its former glory.
It would explain his familiarity with the pinball machine, and the reaction he has to the birthday song. Plus some of the looks he gives early on tell me he knows what’s up.
There is also a theory that he is a personification of death. He was on his way to collect the souls that were in the animatronic but he got stopped by the road spike. Him needing repairs obviously led to him striking a deal to clean the place he was already going (something about death either liking to make deals or being forced to honor a deal. This also explains why he has to take a break every hour, even of he's in the middle of a fight. The owner told him to, thus making it part of the deal that has to be followed.) And the reason he likes the pinball machine is because death likes to play games. I watched a review that did a better job of explaining this theory but I can't remember who it was. Personally, I like this theory
@@zeppizippo7524 I like that theory too.

I absolutely love Nick's character in this. He feels like he knows he's the main character. You can't stop him, because HE is the protagonist. HE has the plot armor. YOU don't.
The man doesn't talk, hates filth, has to stick to a strict schedule, likes a very specific food to an obsessive level, is ridiculously good at a specific game and has to change when icky stuff gets on him.
As an autistic individual, I am seeing some similarities, albeit overplayed

@@armouredjester1622 then nick starts sweeping around her from the mess she made
I was just waiting for him to just grab it out of her hand Terminator-style and snapping it in half or something. Honestly, my only complaint about this film is that they didn't take the absurd Nick Cage murder machine thing even further and make him literally immortal or something. The film clearly isn't taking itself very seriously, and the sheer over-the-top-ness of Nick Cage's character and how they almost play on his legendary cult/meme-status is the source of nearly all the entertainment value in this film.
This film is a perfect example of how a film can be objectively bad in so many ways and yet be deeply entertaining. I met my cousins for the first time in 7 years, and we had an absolute blast just watching this film and laughing over how stupid everything was and the absurd, memey badassery of Nick Cage's character.
I know, it’s so cheesy but it’s also really fun!
Glad to hear you were able to reconnect with your cousins.
@@spencer1837 who doesn't like cheese though
Nick Cage being himself beating the shit out of animatronics. It’s not supposed to be good or deep, just hilariously stupid entertainment. I’m just glad Nick Cage gave it his all. Idk if I’ve ever seen a film where the man half asses it.
Yeah, it is an enjoyably bad movie.
What if Cage's character isn't human, but someone sent by whatever they had made the pact with to reap them back? Almost like a supernatural contract killer or bounty hunter of sorts. It would explain why he doesn't speak, only drinks the Punch drink and nothing else, and follows what he's told to do about his job almost completely to the letter, (having to have a shirt that shows he's an employee, always take his breaks on time, and clean despite the crazy around him). It would also explain why he's really enjoying the pinball machine.
Well, he was the ghost rider in the 2007 movie. Just saying
a channel called Cinema Summaries pointed out that he may have ptsd from being a victim of the animatronics before, he could have came back for revenge
Like Ghost Rider?
He isn't human, he is the Doomsayer and John wick in one character
@@lordtoomas That is the prevailing theory I've heard. which explains him being mute, as a huge traumatic event like that as a child can actually cause them to go mute, so more like a child who had their childhood memories ruined, and spent all that time, as a broken man preparing to take revenge on the creepy assholes who ruined your childhood.
Imagine thinking this Movie is Bad, to me this looks like a great Horror Comedy
Nobody is talking about how he didn't die of a heart attack from the thousands of grams of caffeine he drunk in the time period of a day.
Those are rookie numbers compared to mine. It’s a miracle I haven’t died of a heart attack, or at the very least, got type 2 diabetes!
Yeah it's hilarious really! 6g can be a lethal dose of caffeine, and LD50 for an average adult male is around 10g. I'm betting he got way, way more.
Those were health potions.
idk ab thousands of grams ... i didn’t even watch the movie but the average can of pop has like 25 mg caffeine, and a lot of pops, especially non-colas, have 0 caffeine. ik you’re not being serious but js lmao
@@samael4550 Dude, It's in the thousands, the prop itself says 350mg, So do the math.
About 12 were drank in the span of the film.
12 x 350 = 4,200.
That's in the fatal times.
the thing many don't get with this movie is that nick literally does everything he is told to do. that's the unique thing of the character. like... he is told to clean the building till next day and that's what he does. he is told to have many breaks and that's what he does... and so on. that's also why he gives the knife back. because he really has to take the break and the girl has to protect herself.
yeah nic's character has a severe OCD complex in everything he does, similar to autism spectrum OCD. I have very severe OCD myself as part of my dyspraxia since childhood, and though very severe it's abit different than autism spectrum OCD, where the dyspraxia one is very socially aware but just attaches a compulsive checking to particular random things and you are aware of it, try to break the cycle and may take hours to break free of checking something out of fear its not in order in order to reassure, but a part of the brain is unable to switch to relax mode, and the fear starts up again, and so the compulsion to check is so strong that even the rational knowledge you have that you already checked it a reasonable number of times beyond reasonable doubt that it is in order/is ok, cannot break you free of the worry and check cycle. the autism version lacks a social awareness of the world around them. that's the version of nic's character, which he plays along with his normal leather heavy, truck rocker, greasy, crazy nic that we all know.
@@shaunhumphreys6714 damn never thought about that. It really fits the character perfectly and nick really plays is role on point. But besides this, hope you managing good so far man. Life can be a bitch sometimes. Just keep on going bro.
I read this at the exact moment in the video that nick did this
@@shaunhumphreys6714 Wow... that's a damn good description. He really just keeps his tasks in the forefront of his mind. He wants to get back on the road, the only way to do that: clean the building, take breaks. He follows through with these tasks completely blind to what some might consider common sense (i.e. There are killer robots here, run away. The girl is in danger, save her life. The owner probably knows about this, call the police.) He just kinda,,, receives instructions and carries them out with precision, handling anything that gets in his way in such direct and strange ways. Gorilla in your way? Kick its head into a urinal, when it's dead keep cleaning. Girl trying to murder siren animatronic? Take knife, carry girl away over your shoulder. Neutralize threat, finish cleaning. Take breaks.
For a movie about robots possessed with humans, Nick acts very robotic in the way he carries out his tasks... now that you've compared it to obsessive compulsivity with autism I can't unsee it. That could explain why he's completely nonverbal as well save for when he's grunting and screaming as he fights.
The kids are actually noob players that went into a high level dungeon and Nick is the overpowered NPC that kills nearby hostile enemies but is interrupted by his other predetermined patterns.
Genius.
No, Nick is that one player in your team that started playing since the first day.
I came across this movie totally by accident. I had never heard of it before and had no idea what to expect. And I absolutely loved it. XD The fact that Cage's character never spoke a single word the entire time was hilarious to me. lol I imagine that if you had a lot of hype built up prior to the release of the film, it might be a bit disappointing. But for someone who just hears about it and can immediately watch it, it's pretty fantastic. lol
Nick should have said "pop goes the weasel" after killing willy
fuckin standing ovation right there, 12/10 perfect movie
Should have. Should have been the only line he said in the movie.
Pop goes the weasel, BITCH. * smacks with bag of cans *
That’s used in a FNAF fan game so I don’t think they’d want the association on any level, you know?
@@seranathenecromancer3470 Popgoes, the weasel. Punctuation is important
This movie is flawless. I don’t know what you’re talking about.
idk why everyones shitting on the movie because Elvis is. the movie is like a solid 6.5 i love it.
but i guess because i kinda went into it not expecting much while he and others prob did. i mean i dont know what the hell yall we're expecting but hey.
Idk. I enjoyed it for what it was . It’s not the best movie , but I love it
Agreed
Agreed
He’s also wrong about Ozzie.
Ozzie is a puppet not an animation.
Nick: *about to kill animatronic*
Watch: beep
Nick: Professionals have standards.
Sniper gaming
The girl: *bruh.*
There's no "k" in his name
I think Cage’s character was supposed to be an ex-military guy who doesn’t talk much because he’s seen shit. There’s dog tags in his car at the beginning and it would explain the “strict schedule” thing as well as the “always following direct orders” (like following what Tex said about breaks) and being obsessed with cleaning (because he was used to doing all those things back when he was still in the military).
I think that theroy may work.
Makes sense
Seems legit
Or He was a kid that did not get killed giving him ptsd then He entered in the army and became badass
I was literally just about to comment that
Someone should make a movie called “The Janitor” and it would be about a Janitor at the scp foundation during a 049 - 2 breach with Nicolas Cage as the Janitor
and it's the same guy as in the movie. it's a sequel!
Or have an elevator scp named“buck”
Who loses his shit if he thinks you will touch the buttons
If you know, you know
That would actually be really cool
And he kills a bunch of scps while drinking kick
nah
Alternate title: Nicholas cage beats the everloving crap out of the Willie's wonderland animatronics, plays pin ball, and dances his life away: the movie.
don't forget the dancing
I loved it so much.
so a normal friday night for Nicolas Cage
Tbh i think the story of this movie is like a videogame and Nick is the playable protagonist. When he cleans he is doing a secondary task (like those missions in games that just gives you a prize or in-game money, but don't affect the story)
He was filing his nails down with sand paper to clean all the black gunk out from the previous fight. His character is obsessed with cleanliness.
like he has OCD or something
@@expecting747 oh wait he does
*CLEANLINESS IS THE ONLY THING I CARE ABOUT. ONLY CLEAN.*
I like that there is so mutch detail like example: Nicolas cages acting hes not acting badly but the way hes face is in the hole movie is a sign of OCD the way he cleans the hole place with respect and i believe the theory that he was the kid that was bitten in the shoulder. And when hes fighting the gecko and the ballerina he uses HIS SHOULDER to take the ballerina down.
Cinema Summary?
@@bonkgaming1622 Definitely
That’s not how OCD works. It’s a lot more unpleasant than a cleanliness compulsion, trust me. I’d much rather be incredibly anal-retentive than have OCD...the compulsions are a bitch to keep in line & constantly rejecting such impulses can be depressing
i'm pretty sure a how to get video already said that no hate
@@christopherlowery3797 , i was going to comment this. my bestfriend has ocd and the way she explains it is she feels compulsive urges to redo things until they feel right, and it goes beyond being ‘clean and tidy’. while i have no clue what it’s like personally, i can understand from what i’ve been told.
I think the underlying plot was that Nic Cage was one of the kids at Willys when they were murdering people and he was traumatised so he voluntarily returned to kill the animatronics as an adult. The love of the soda and the pinball machine harkens back to the things that he loved as a child at Willys, I think his character is suffering from extreme PTSD but rather than withdrawing, he's channelling it into the cleaning and killing of the animatronics, trying to restore Willys to the place it should've been when he was a child.

LOL, ''Loosely based".
@@dieselpunk4117 yeah, it's very clear that this was inspired by FNAF. If you wrote this independently, you'd have to go really far out of your way to say "I know this sounds unlikely given how close the subject matter is, but I actually only learned about FNAF after I wrote this script".
I don't buy it.

In regards to why the robots have actual deadly weapons: We cant forget that the business was run by an actual serial killer. Of course the weapons were real.
thank you I thought I was the only one that remembered that fact
Yeah. Like they knew how to transfer their souls into them so of course they had planned for that
Lets also remember foxys hook

Is nobody going to mentioning the whole reason the main Character is silent is because its(a reference to the game series that inspired it, FNAF) -a reference to a majority of video games- having a main character that doesn’t talk? Like even when they are spoken to, they just stare and don’t say a word?
No? Okay
It would make sense, especially seeing the pinball machine and the Punch drinks being the loading of new levels.
Damn, I've heard many explanations, but this is by far the one that I like the best, and also the one that makes the most sense.
This also lines up with Nick Cages character being named the protagonist, with why the main character seemingly ignores all injuries until the final fight (because most games ignore that until after the final fight where it's appropriate), why the killers approach him one after another and why he cleans himself up after every boss fight (since your attire in video games usually resets after every level and not taking any wounds our splatter into consideration).
@@-tremusketorer-7911 I'm pretty sure in the credits his role name is "Janitor."
@@illuminahearts3113 I stand corrected, point still applies though, as "The Janitor" reminds me of "Doom guy"/"Doom marine".
It's a horror movie that doesn't take itself seriously at all. It's a comedy and a horror movie at the same time. That's what I like about it.
Even the deaths are like,
*Nick and Liv walk into a room after some dumb kids die*
*Little shock at witnessing a bloodbath*
*Nick stares at bodies on the ground after beating the shit out of a cutesy mascot*
*Liv looks mildly disturbed and says sorry*
*End scene*
Kids decided to bang in a haunted place like they forgot they were burning the place down
It’s even structured like a game. The punch pop,the cleaning,the pinball…and even how he encounters the animatronics…
…how has nobody made a game based on this? Someone call devolver!
There’s a theory that Cages character went to the place when he was a kid and saw something traumatic, that’s why he loves the pin ball and the punch because it reminds him of better times, and so trained to kill them and then finally goes back. When he finally goes back he honours his memories of the place (always takes his breaks, doesn’t destroy the animatronics, makes sure it’s clean) and so didn’t let anyone other than himself kill them. It makes sense actually and explains a lot so I like it :)
I agree with the theory, it makes tons of sense.
Also all the looks he gives and also the main thing...
Why is he there!
Also he might be the kid who got his shoulder bit be because he uses his left shoulder (same one that got bit) to fight 2 of the animatronics
I think he'd be fine with other people killing them tho, considering he handed the girl a knife before leaving her.
@@justtaylor8204 yeah, its a really solid theory that nick was the kid who got bite of 87'd in the flashback but the only plothole in the theory is we dont see any shoulder scars
As well with him being traumatized from his childhood symptoms of that can be going mute watch cinema summary’s video for a full explanation
"Oh wow I think that thing tried to kill me, weird." "Jeez, again? What a coincidence lemme get back to these baseboards"
wouldn't you?
Yea wouldn't you I've already massacred 3 animotronics in my lifetime
"The Banana Splits" is another movie about evil animatronics from a kid's show.
Dead Meat made a kill count on the movie if you're interested.
Wonder if he’ll make a video of this one
@@Phan11023 He probably will in no time.
its some how funnier having nick cage be mute, imagine how hard it mustve been for him not not speak, you keep expecting him to say something but he just never does
So, in a nutshell, movie synopsis: Nicholas Cage being DOOMGUY against $5 durability animatronics for an hour or so.
Sums it up quite well... Although I would say that a few of those animatronics were at least $10...
@@andre_601 Likely thanks to the CGI effects.
They are rage brutal, but you you will be worse rip and tear until it is done
no
punch+clean
and that is mega based if you really think about it
someone should add bfg division to the background of a fight scene in this movie
I can fix this movie with one scene: at the end of the movie, Nic Cage is revealed to be an animatronic himself, built to sell Punch.
See, this is genius.
Alternatively, he was an animatronic built to clean up the animatonics who go rogue, and in the end he opens up a basement to show a army of unactivated animatronics. Snap to black.
I have a better idea:
At the end, Liv takes a sip of the can Nic shared her, and then, a narrator invites you to drink Punch, REVEALING THAT THE ENTIRE MOVIE WAS A PUNCH COMMERCIAL.
That would be a great PUNCHline.
Clearly he has much respect for the place, which explains why he cleaned the heck out of the place. Maybe he was a child that used to go there regularly. Which is also why he played with the pinball machine. Childhood nostalgia.
That's actually a genius theory. That's one thing this movie pretty much excelled at. Since the main character is kind of a blank slate, we can fill in the holes however we want!
Cinema summary explained this before they took down their video, being mute could be another symptom of childhood trauma.
