8 Daftest Nicolas Cage Moments

The bug-eyed blockbuster king’s goofy greatest hits


Con Air (1997)

Our scraggly-haired hero glances at the hapless guard he’s just impaled on a spike and fixes him with a gormless gaze.

Then comes his line in Cameron Poe’s crummy Southern drawl. “Why couldn’t you put the bunny back in the box?”

Out of context that sounds loopy. In context - Poe's just killed someone for not putting his daughter's rabbit soft toy back into a parcel he's prepared for her - still loopy.

      I had the misfortune to watch National Treasure 2 and was totally weirded out by the English accent he does

      What about him pulling "scary" faces in Ghost Rider? Acting like a two year old looking at his reflection for the first time... a very bad and certainly daft moment.

      I can't even begin to say how much I just don't get Nic Cage's superstar status. He's a walking charisma vacuum (probably second only to Planky Plank Wahlberg in that regard in Hollywood) and seems to have an unerring talent for choosing only the pishest scripts to star in. Under normal circumstances the only way I could imagine anyone else with these traits being a megastar is if they had a really famous family... perhaps an uncle... with plenty of influence... Oh, hang on...

      my favourite Nic Cage moment is when he shouts "A-HOLE" at Sean Connery in The Rock. what an A-Hole.

      Have you even seen Con Air? For a start it wasn't a guard he killed it was 1 of the convicts dressed as a guard, secondly he killed him because if he didn't he would've been found out as a traitor to the convicts' cause the bunny thing was just an excuse for an action one-liner
