Thanks for helping me connect the dots. I'm not smart but I do like a joke with more than one face
Man, Travolta got himself really..... Caged in.....
Was he briefly John Travolta in 1997? Wtf happened?
He took Travolta's face... off.

For the longest time, I refused to watch anything he was acting in. I think it was sometime between maybe 1997 and 2002 when I realized how much his movies had started to suck.
More recently though, I caved and decided to watch Renfield, and I'm glad I gave it a chance. It's not like the greatest movie ever, but I thought it was cute. And I actually really enjoyed Nic in this movie for the first time in decades.
I totally get that, but for what it's worth, The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent is worth giving a shot, too! It breaks the 4th wall in a refreshingly humorous & self-deprecating way. Loved it!
Yea that was a fun movie.

Pig is supposed to be quite good. In fact I think I'll go watch it.
Pig is a really unique and fun movie. John Wick meets Top Chef, or something like that...
Nic was really good in KickAss. Not going to spoil it for you, but there was a scene where his performance pulled my heartstrings. And I thought to myself "I did not realise he can be that good as an actor". I also heard Nic is excellent in the recent movies Pig and Dream Scenario.
To be honest, I didn't even remember him in KickAss but for what it's worth I did enjoy that movie. Your comment inspired me to look at his IMDB page and compare to which movies of his I actually have seen since the 1997 - 2002 era.
The Flash - I don't really count this, especially given that his role is listed as uncredited.
Renfield - I liked this movie way more than I should have and I also particularly liked Nic in it. It has changed my view on him.
Willy's Wonderland - Nothing great, far from his worst movie. And I'm not sure it counts in this context since I saw it after Renfield.
Color Out of Space - I enjoyed the movie it's really my type of thing, but also I saw it after Renfield, so not sure it counts in this context. Plus, I can't say his performance was anything spectacular.
Mandy - I don't really remember the movie, let alone Nic's performance, but for some reason I'm thinking it was at least alright.
Ghost Rider movies - I didn't have much choice in watching these, but they sucked in my opinion and reinforced my dislike of movies that contain Nic Cage.
Kick-Ass - I forgot he was in it when I made my original comment, but I mostly just recall him as being unusually competent and in an usually good movie beyond his caliber.
One or more of the National Treasure movies - They weren't my thing. I thought they all sucked. Feel free to disagree, I won't hate you for it, but I disagree. It reinforced my belief that I should avoid movies with Nic Cage in them.
Raising Arizona is something pretty different of his that I like a lot as well.
From what I could tell, his "appearance" in The Flash, which is in quotes because I'm fairly certain it was all CGI with no dialogue, was an incredibly deep cut inside joke for a Tim Burton Superman movie that never got released. His "appearance" in The Flash should not be considered a Nic Cage performance.
I'd argue his best performance was in Vampire's Kiss, and a toss up between this scene or this one.

Now do Arnold Schwarzenegger!
Or his identical twin brother
Visited his grave once. It's really nice.
I was gonna say you missed his bald phase, but then I saw the joke.
He took his face..... off.
Last night i looked at this briefly and just thought "cool, thats nic cage through the years" this morning i look again and i realise what i missed and now im giggling by myself in the bathroom. Thankyou OP.
Looks like he stopped aging somewhere around '02.. then 2022 opened his eyes.
Made me think of Dwight Shrute's carved rescue dummy face. 😆

I knew I recognized Nicolas Cage from Saturday Night Fever!
I hear he can eat a peach for hours.
Need to get my hands on those magic pills that make one's hair grow back
You forgot the one from the 1800s
Face..... Off.....
Now here's a story...
The eternal Cage.
okay never mind the John Travolta picture but oh my gosh 1982, I never knew Nicholas Cage was kinda sorta handsome. Maybe he worked really hard with a photographer to get that shot.
Literal face off
I see the late 80s was fun....
