what a terribly stupid idea for a movie.

out of all the ridiculousness in the movie, this premise always gets me:

nicholas cage becomes travolta. when travolta becomes cage it's less of a problem because they can cut his hair. no big deal.

but, when cage becomes travolta, do they add hair? does he get extensions?

no scars, either?

john travolta, who turned into nic cage, got something in his throat.

i imagine the other got the same.

What a disappointment considering John Woo directed it. I hated it upon first viewing and will never watch it again.

"Well, if you're Sean Archer, then I must be Castor Troy. "

I liked this movie. And the Nick Cassavetes character kicks ass...

I still think it's fun to watch Travolta and Cage play each other.

I agree. Travolta did a great job when he played Cage playing Travolta.....which I hope makes sense.

Worst delivery of the movie title in a line ever.

"We're going to take his ..... face ..... off."

The one line that did it for me was:

"Oh ho, look at this, oh this is beautiful, oh, bravo, bra-fucking-vo."
