Travolta And Cage's 'Face/Off' Gets An Honest Trailer

Twenty years ago someone had the idea to take two big time action movie stars and put them in a film that would have them be mortal enemies, a cop and a criminal, and have them switch faces and try to act like the other pretending to be them. The plan was to get John Woo to direct and have it star Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger. That last part didn't work out, but Woo did directed it with John Travolta and Nicolas Cage, giving us Face/Off. It seemed like such a good idea at the time, I even went and saw it in the theater.

The Screen Junkies just took a look at it for an Honest Trailer and it's just as insane as I remember. At the time, Travolta and Cage were somewhat A-list. Cage had just done Leaving Las Vegas, The Rock and Con-Air while Travolta was coming off of Pulp Fiction, Get Shorty and Phenomenon. The film made $23 million opening weekend and took in $246 million worldwide. And an interesting side note, the film also had Thomas Jane in a small role as Burke Hicks, seven years before he would work with Travolta again on The Punisher.

So, 20 years after it made it's theatrical debut, we now have an Honest Trailer for Face/Off:
