Nic Cage is great at doing Nic Cage things but this film wouldn't have worked if John Travolta wasn't equally bat shit crazy in his role.

Peak Cage, peak Travolta, peak John Woo, peak of the 90's action movies. A true classic.

It took me longer than I care to admit for me to notice the thumbnail shenanigans lol

Aaron: BUT WHY HOW WHEN. IT DOESNT MAKE SENSE!?!?1 Everyone else: embracing the absurdity of a 90’s John Woo movie

The strangest things about this film to me still are: that Travolta improvised the face touching thing (which How Did This Get Made called "Face Waterfalls" and I think that works), that Nic Cage improvised the whole "I wanna take his face OFF" scene, that the police report on Michael's death weirdly offers a hypothesis on why the boy was shot and points out Archer was the target (as if the report wanted him to feel guilty every time he read it), and that the boots in the prison are the boots from the Super Mario Bros movie. I love this insane movie! Originally, the ending was going to take place in a mirror factory and I keep imagining what THAT would have been like!

This movie, in my opinion, shows that no matter how awful your premise is, you can still make something great out of it. That even bad ideas can be fantastic. And not in a "So bad it's good" kind of way. This is genuinely a great movie.

16:01 I think the Nostalgia Critic said something along the lines of: The best part of any Nicholas Cage movie where he Nicholas Cage realizes he's Nicholas Cage.

This is a movie that can ONLY have been made in the 90’s. With Nic Cage at his most CRAZY Nic Cage up to this point in his career. And John Travolta killing it as Sean Archer/Castor Troy. This movie is made of cocaine!!!

I don't care what people say: Face Off is a great action movie and Nic Cage is a very talented actor!

Prime Cage and Travolta! I will always love this movie!

The look on Eric’s face leading up to the Nic Cage butt-grab face in the beginning is everything. The combination of excitement and trepidation, of pride and sorrow.

John Travolta and Nick Cage made this movie amazing. I could never imagine anyone else in their roles.

90’s movies really are so great lol this just wanna makes me rewatch Bad boys now

Travolta makes a great antagonist. Broken Arrow being my go-to for him. Also, you mentioned the angel film and I had to think for a sec. I love the fact they have both played roles as VERY DIFFERENT angels.

This is ART

The thumbnail looks so right and so wrong at the same time.

This, The Rock, and Con Air used to be my favorite Nicolas Cage movies back in the day. And now we got Willy's Wonderland.

Always thought Cage would play a great Joker the man can be batshit crazy unpredictable funny and threatening and he has the swag of gangster Joker

This film is so OTT & knows it. The shear level of,"We don't give a f**k, we're having fun" is blinding. "Nothing wrong could possibly happen." - The tag-line to every John Woo film.

I love this movie. You can feel, that alot of care and thought went into it. Not in terms of scientific accuracy, but with shot composition, story, characters, moments and action scenes. The scene with mirror stand off makes it all worth it by itself. You can't do this kind of scene if you don't care about the movie you're making. This is art. Silly, campy, incredible art. And I love it!=)

By far the funniest Nick Cage and John Travolta movie!

This movie reminds me of the Tropical Thunder... "I'm a dude, playing a dude, disguised as another dude!"

I saw this in the cinema. I loved every minute of it a pure 90's movie

God that movie doesn't get enough love...Yes it's super over the top B popcorn flick, but it's perfect in the best way ! Overacting on both part and that kind of movie needs that and you see the acting talent of both Nicolas Cage and John Travolta turning from one to the other...Amazing ! Also those long coat floating in the wind where an amazing cliché of the 90's movie !

In case you were also wondering that scar guy at 42.52 Is Tommy Flanagan AKA Chibs/Chibby from Tv shows Sons of Anarchy The doves are a symbolic too all John Woo action movies for some reason.. JT and NC were awesome in this movie.. I reckon this was John Woo's first exposure to Hollywood from memory.. YOu can tell it is a Woo movie by the action and specific style of gun play.. John Woo's The Killer with Chow Yun Fat was absolutely epic and once you seen that and then compare it to this, you will see the resemblance

Nicolas Cage is proof enough that the pre-2000s were better than the post-2000s

Give Jon Travolta some credit for getting the Nic Gage stuff down packed. I believed it was Nic Gage character Castor Troy through Travolta.

Nick Cage was on a fucking roll in the 90s, this, con air, the rock, all classic 90s action movies.

19:58 Now Aaron understands why this is a masterpiece

I literally watched this movie for the first time yesterday, and now I see this in my subscription feed. Coincidence? Yup

You guys really have to watch John Woo's older masterpieces, especially the Hong Kong films he directed.

Please do CON AIR next!

One of the best movies of the 90s I think 😂😂. John Woo I think. So much fun 😂😂😂

"Just give me a new face. These ones are both ruined!" - lol. Enter... Bruce Willis?

Fun fact: The prison boots are the same ones the goombas wear in 'Super Mario Bros.'

I was so happy when I saw that y’all were reacting to this. I love this movie! Y’all need to react to Nic Cage’s other 90’s masterpiece, Con Air!

My second favourite Cage film and favourite Travolta performance Very glad you reacted to this, such a classic film (First favourite Cage film will always be Conair)

At 39:12 is one of the funniest reaction/interaction you guys have ever done🤣🤣🤣🤣

Whoever voted for this movie loves chaos 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Almost an hour long reaction segment! Hell yeah

Yeah it's a fucking stupid film but watching this as a kid in the 90s, what a time to be alive.

59:52 - I think Castor did that because for the time, this is his family ergo his property. He wasn't protecting his daughter, he was punishing some punk that tried to challenge him by attacking what's his.

I was always under the impression that archers son was blind and this was a way to show him they loved him and it just stuck

This is one of my favorite 90s movies. The crazy Nick is great but Travolta is doing the "bad guy" so good.

24:14-24:24 That’s always my reaction to that line. For a few seconds, he got possessed by Jim. Lol

FACE…OFF

Face off, con air, gone in 60 seconds, the rock. Just great cage movies.

Crazy Danny Masterson allowed the director to put his off set activities in the movie😊

This is a movie that doesn’t require a lot of thinking. Just accept it for what it is 😂😂😂

This movie is the perfect kind of stupid

I don't see much people reacting to this movie. I don't see anyone reacting to assassin movie Antonio Banderas and Stallone either.

I use "no more drugs, for that man" pretty frequently. also how the hell do I comment 3 weeks ago when I saw this on patreon? 😆

Its been 10 to 20 years since I have seen this movie. Loved it growing up on VHS. I now see more of the seams and sillyness but I still love it!

“Hi, Adam. I’m Jamie.” _Thousand Years of Death_ Adam: “wtf”

Ahh....the 90's...

You guys mentioned about Sasha when she tells (Archer) Castor that the kid is his, wondering if it’s the first time - I’m pretty sure it’s the first time because then she brings him over and tells him she has someone for him to meet. The thing I think plays interesting with her later is at the stand-off - she comes to it still thinking that Castor is really still Castor, but I think when (Castor) Archer tells he they are each other, she realises the truth - the castor really killed her brother, and Archer has said that he’ll be ‘out of her life’ - she sees a way out for her and her kid, because she helps Eve get away and covers her. So I think when she’s lying there dying and says to ‘take care of our boy, don’t let him turn out like us’ - .i think she’s knowingly telling Archer to take care of her son so he’ll grow up with a good life and not turn out to be the monster that Caster is.

Face off is epic. Cracking reaction lads. You guys got to do hard boiled next. That is a defo John woo classic. Action and gunplay is another level

Honest Trailers: Wait! Did they switch dongs? Cause Dong/Off would have been a way different movie!

I was going to say that this is Nic Cage’s most insane role, but I’ve come to realize that this is just the most insane movie to ever exist. It’s a fucking masterpiece and I love it to an unreasonable degree.

In the VHS I had, if you put on the caption when Cage wakes up and calls his guy, the subtitle reads "Demonic Laugh".

for those who don't know John Woo also did Paycheck with Ben Affleck and Uma Thurman, based on a short story by Philip K Dick (Total Recall, Minority Report, Imposter, A Scanner Darkly, Blade Runner).

This was soo entertaining! I scared my cat laughing. And the nostalgia is real, I was a teenager when this movie came out.

Thats why the 90’s was great! This was just accepted and fun to watch!

You can’t convince me this movie wasn’t a partial inspiration for the undercover obi-wan arc of the Clone Wars

The hand gesture is a good touch. Stop treating it like a joke. Period.

Aaron's face when he saw a barrel going up when it was shot 27:45

This is actually one of my favourite films. Might be because of the trivia I heard about the film, it's also mentioned on IMDBs website for the film. That Travolta and Cage spent a lot of time before they started filming, according to IMDB was about 2 weeks. They studied each other, and learnt each others gestures, and their vocal cadences and so on. I'm not sure how true this trivia is, but I do think if true, it makes both their acting roles in the film even more impressive. Yes it is an actors job to act, but I think to get gestures down pat, and everything else about a person, is extremely well done.

How come it’s always Aaron who has not seen the classics!?

This movie wouldn't have worked without neither Cage and Travolta

peak Nic Cage will be forever the greatest imo

11:30 "You wouldn't put two pairs of gloves on!" Lloyd Christmas would beg to differ

OMG the two middle guys are twins!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just have to throw this out there: When I first saw this movie, I was shocked to find out that Dietrich was also the main villain from the classic 80s movie The Wraith. Grew up watching that damn movie all.the.time! You guys should totally react to that 😁 It’s a fantastic revenge flick.

With an intro like that at the start of the movie Face Off, is Nicholas Cage truly acting?

So much fun rewatching this classic with you guys! Please react to more Nic Cage from the 90s such as "The Rock" & "Con Air." 👍

Aaron asks a question Eric: it's science

This one, Con Air and Armageddon are like my guilty pleasure movie of all time.

Watch point break, national treasure movies and the ghost rider movies

John Travolta's acting is similiar to his villian role in this as to his villiain role in Broken Arrow - thumbs up to recommend

That thumbnail though, chef's kiss

There should be a sequel to the film. The two main actors should be back.

Those little sensors on the clear mask are what go on the muscles under the skin. That is what the doctors were talking about. Make ya twitch the right way to match the other persons expressions.

I just started the reaction and I already know this is going to awesome!!

Movie of my childhood!!!! I love it!

Weirdly, the guy playing the creep being pushy with the character of Jamie Archer in the car, is actor Danny Masterson (aka Hyde from That ‘70s Show) who ended up being quite the creep in real life. Art imitates, and all that. Another weird fact for you; the actress that plays Jamie, Dominique Swain, also starred alongside Danny’s brother Christopher Masterson in the movie, Girl, around the same time as this. Christopher Masterson is probably best known as the elder brother, Francis, from Malcolm in the Middle. Small world.

If you haven't listened to Patrice O'neal talking about this movie on Opie and Anthony, Do it! It's pure gold!

3:12 Wow I didn't realize how good of a comparison this was for Cage's character

I love this movie and have seen it multiple times. i totally forgot how many time John did the "hand waterfall" its so weird lol

That was so much fun watching along with you. Can't remember the last time I laughed this hard.

I could eat a peach for hours - Nicholas Cage, 1997

Poor kids, they're gonna need therapy for life after that experience.

54:07 Sean Archer just shows up to his house but now he looks like Michael Douglas. "Honey, I'm home! ANTS!"

I'm begging you all to watch Spontaneous. It's an absolutely perfect movie for reactions and sadly neglected on RU-vid.

I can't imagine Arnold as Castor haha

Never noticed the Michael Douglas as executive producer till now. I assume because he was going to star in Face/Off. It was supposed to take place in the future and I think his co-star would’ve been Harrison Ford.

"I want his face...off "

It's such a hilariously stupid premise for a movie that makes absolutely zero sense. And yet, it's great, and here we are...

You guys should watch the series severance on Apple TV it’s very interesting and I think it’s worth you guys reacting to

I need videos of Calvin sharing everything he knows. He says 3 or 4 things in every reaction video that I never learned about😄
