Can you quote the most iconic scene
0:02
Just the not the bees! Not the bees! Not the bees! Not the bees
0:07
Now today, Mikaela, we're going to be ranking in honor of the newly released movie, The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent
0:14
our top five favorite Nicolas Cage performances. Yes. So what's your number five
0:20
My number five is Spider-Man Noir and Spider-Man Into the Spider-Verse. When they're introducing all of the other Spider-Men
0:28
they introduce his character, and it's like, he's basically this kind of like old-timey detective in the 1930s
0:34
It's 1933, and I'm a private eye. And then this is the line where I was like
0:38
okay, that's one of the best lines, performance ever. Sometimes I let matches burn down to my fingertips
0:43
just to feel something, anything. And it's like, okay. You knew that you were gonna have to get Nick Cage
0:47
when you wrote that line, because no one else can say, feel something, anything
0:51
He's not so much of a voice actor as a lot of actors who have those distinct voices and stuff
0:55
but he is someone that the second he is voicing over anything, you're like, oh, that's Nick Cage
0:59
What is your number five? Have you ever seen The Wicker Man? I have not, but I've seen the scene
1:04
that I think you're going to be talking about. The best way I saw it described was, it's so bad, it's good
1:08
I really do love movies like that, where it's like, it's really not good, but you can't take your eyes off of it
1:13
He punches women like three times. Yes. This movie very many times yells at people
1:18
in his very Nick Cage way. How'd it get burned? How'd it get burned? How'd it get burned
1:22
Can you quote the most iconic scene? Just the, not the bees
1:26
Not the bees! Not the bees! Ahhhhh! And he says the greatest one ever, which is
1:32
Killing me won't bring back your goddamn honey! What's your number four? Okay, so my number four is Benjamin Franklin Gates
1:39
from National Treasure. My number four is also National Treasure. This is one of the best movies ever
1:43
This is one of the best, I think, franchises for him. But I associate him with this franchise
1:47
when I think of Nick Cage. This is him basically being Indiana Jones There a lot in this movie that I absolutely love They really tied together the Gates family backstory of they were sort of accused of betraying Abraham Lincoln
1:59
and they're accused of being involved in the Lincoln assassination. They somehow make stuff that was going on
2:04
in the Revolutionary and Civil War personal. And this movie, you know it's gonna be
2:10
just a bad movie from the start. They're in Antarctica, they find this sunken ship
2:15
Nicolas Cage comes down, he reads basically like a really tough crossword clue
2:19
The iron pen. It was firm. It was adamant. It was resolved
2:23
And he somehow ties it to the Declaration of Independence and the Freemasons. And they need to steal the Declaration of Independence
2:30
Steal the Declaration of Independence. My number three is Big Daddy in Kick-Ass
2:35
which is a surprisingly awesome movie. He plays the funniest character ever
2:41
He plays Big Daddy, basically a Batman ripoff. Why this is one of his best performances
2:46
is he's at the same time this kind of like psychopath, deadly assassin, and two, this like really wonderful father
2:54
The scene that really makes it is when he and Kick-Ass are tied up and they're about to be assassinated
2:59
and I'm allowed to be, and Hit-Girl comes to save them. And right as she's about to free them
3:03
the bad guy is basically a light Nicolas Cage on fire. His daughter sees this and shouts, no
3:08
His voice goes into an octave. We didn't know he could register. I know. He then screams in a high-pitched voice
3:13
take cover child! Like he stretches child, take cover child! And then he's basically giving her directions
3:19
what to do and he goes. And he dies, I remember like
3:25
I wish this character didn't die because this is the movie. This is the best part of, he's big daddy
3:30
Like he's just so good. That's my number three. What's your number three? My number three is gone in 60 seconds
3:35
Just this one scene is actually a scene that I've seen a million times because I think it is one of the all time Nick Cage scenes So they all ready to go like steal I think the plot like 50 cars or something like that And Nick Cage just looks to one of the guys and he goes Donnie Lowrider Wait Lowrider the one Yeah it the George Lopez song Low. Riiiider. Riiiider
3:54
Ride a little slower. It's just a great scene, because he's like, and everyone in the room is kind of like
3:58
okay, and he does this little Nick Cage thing with his jazz fingers. And I just think that's one of the best Nick Cage scenes of all time
4:05
It's to the point where you start to wonder, like, are you just like this in real life
4:08
Anyway, Nicholas Cage is awesome. What's your number two? So my number two is Lieutenant Terrence McDonough
4:15
from the movie Bad Lieutenant, Port of Call, New Orleans. This is the movie that when people watch
4:20
everybody's seen the like 20 minutes of Nick Cage freaking out. Half of those clips are from this movie
4:30
He plays a detective in the police who's, the title says it all, he's a bad lieutenant
4:34
He's basically trying to solve this case. He's also addicted to crack
4:37
Is this the movie where the guy dies and he sees the guy break dancing? Yes. Yes
4:43
He's with the drug dealer, played by Xzibit. They kill the other people at the drug deal
4:47
And when they're like, okay, we're good, he goes, no, no, no. Shoot him again. What? Fool
4:52
His soul's still dancing. They then pan over and there's just a guy break dancing
4:58
My favorite line though in the whole thing is he's doing some crack with Xzibit
5:02
And then he says, like, you ever heard of this, the guy? He landed again, he ran, ran, ran
5:06
He scored a touchdown. It's supposed to touch down! Like what the f***? What's your number two
5:12
My number two is actually kick ass. For the exact same reason of that ending scene where he's sitting in the chair, fire
5:19
The way he's acting while he's on fire is just such an incredible choice by him
5:24
because any other movie or scene where like someone's on fire, you're screaming bloody murder
5:28
He's still kind of acting or he's like, get out of it! Take a couple shots
5:33
It sort of the scenes where it like my instinct is to cry right now because like the whole movie he this good dad He teaching her you know you got to save people and all these things That my girl So it supposed to be this like sad scene
5:45
But then when he opens his mouth, you kind of have to giggle a little bit. That movie is unbelievable
5:49
Super good. What's your number one? My number one, I don't even have to look, is Cameron Poe from the movie Con Air
5:55
This movie is my favorite of all the plots. This movie is they're transporting prisoners on a plane
6:00
He's Cameron Poe, a military vet. For some reason, the director looked
6:04
Nicolas Cage and his receding hairline that's probably even worse than mine and was like
6:08
what if we just like let it all grow out? Do you think you could look like a Disney prince? Like
6:14
we got to like the prince charming length. It's just hilarious to think that for this movie they
6:18
definitely were like, well Nick Cage is a sex symbol. The women will come to see this. Like he's
6:23
like George Clooney or something. He plays a southern man this time. He has the many great
6:28
lines like the, give me back that bunny. Put the bunny back in the box. Because he gets his daughter
6:34
a stuffed bunny and he really almost like risks his life many times instead of just thinking I could get another bunny really great movie
6:40
This is one of those movies where it's like yeah, it's flawed. You kind of can't stop watching
6:44
Yeah, it's safe to say most of his movies are like this. So my number one is actually face-off
6:50
There's a million scenes where Nick Cage is being Nick Cage while also being John Travolta You know there's layers to this character that he plays
6:56
But just the opening scene alone of when he comes out and does this whole like priest thing
7:02
He makes so many great faces, the like head like thing he does when he comes out Yeah
7:08
Like comes like drops a little chorus book from the girl Your voice makes even a hack like a handle
7:14
That whole thing is just such a weird limber Nick Cage thing that is just like the face he makes when he grabs her ass
7:23
And that's why I'm like I just had to put it at number one is because I just feel like I've seen that face so many times
7:28
I think you know that I should have made this my number one too It's such a strong opening scene. I love it
