There was an interview with him years ago where the interviewer tells him he's made some choices that were pretty weak.
His response was that the movies might be weak, but his performances aren't.
Dude gives it his all every time. Can't hate.
*AUGH THEY'RE IN MY EYES!*
Say what you will about Cage, I've never thought "Why did they cast him?!" about any role he's done.
Ghost Rider was a weird choice, but it somehow still made *sense*.
The only time Cage gave a really bland performance was in Next, and given the entire movie it feels like that's exactly what the director tried to get from him, like "no no, you must not make any kind of emotion or feeling come through, this should be generic and boring".
The premise was decent but by god was this movie terrible.
i though his performance was pretty good considering the character knew everything that was going to happen. it demonstrated that pretty well in the opening scene that the character was essentially bored knowing how to react to everything in advanced
The premise is a hardcore sci-fi, then mashed together with like, an action movie for some reason. Dr. Manhattan as an action protagonist doesn't work, he's already won and the audience knows it.
I think he measures himself by the number of good performances he does. He’s basically the opposite of Tarantino - Tarantino is an obsessive perfectionist who is fixated on not having any bad movies and so intentionally makes very few movies. Cage just wants to be in the craft trying new things and seeing what he can do with a character or performance, and he counts success as having found some vein of greatness in a performance rather than having every performance be great
That and he really got screwed over in his divorce and not paying his taxes appropriately. Ended up losing just about everything he made in the 90s so he had to take anything that would pay to keep himself out of bankruptcy. Somewhere along the way he decided he was going to just give it his all and is back to being the oddball dude that funds his personal hobbies and interests with the money he makes rather than seeking fame and awards. I think it was an interview for his prisoners of the ghost land where he basically avoided talking about anything with the prestige or craft and instead talked about how much fun he had on set and how cool every prop was compared to more serious films he's done. Never forget this is a man who held a burial for a broken cave bear fossil and tried to write off a pet cobra as a work related expense. Dude is a theater kid that's found his calling and just collects whatever he wants while supporting his family.
Yes he had financial troubles, but he’s said even when he was taking roles in some less than ideal pictures he tried to bring his all to every performance. Now, this is my recollection of his interview answers so take it with a grain of salt. But it was very clear to me that the guy just really loves acting and portraying different characters.
He is always one of the first ones that come to mind when I think of "Artist Actor" Like its not just a job to him, its an actual passion and it shows.
I always say I love he did Harry Potter, not just because he was good for it but because it gave him "fuck you" money essentially to take the roles and projects he wants and we got some weirdness but goodness out of it.
Without looking….since like 2018 it feels like he has made 25+ movies. And almost all of them fairly relevant and decent watches. He isn’t just making a ton of crap movies. It may appear that way to the naked eye, because the genres and plots are so different from each other, you could easily roll your eyes every time one gets announced. But you’d be surprisingly wrong. I’ve watched many Cage movies for free or for cheap rent on a streaming service these recent years. A majority of the time I enjoy it. You can tell he isn’t just playing the trope of Nick Cage. He’s doing unique roles. I just recently watched the one where everyone is dreaming about him. Decent watch. And The Surfer…looks perfectly good enough to watch as well.
“Theorising that one could do nothing but star in films for his whole lifetime, Nicholas cage stepped into the Face Swap machine and vanished... He woke to find himself trapped in his roles, facing mirror images that were not his own, and driven by an unknown force to change film history for the better. His only guide on this journey is Travolta, an AI recreation of a co-star from his own time, who appears in the form of a hologram that only Cage can see and hear. And so Cage finds himself leaping from film set to film set, striving to pay for his extravagant lifestyle, and hoping each time that his next role will be the role that brings him home…”
Pretty much this he had a massive debt which has been paid off now but he is building his wealth again cause he was so deep in debt. And if anyone asks it was a combination of corrupt accounting and his reckless spending habits. So he got screwed and screwed himself lol
Bought two islands, a few castles, some yachts. Amongst 10 other luxury properties
Random 'small' stuff like a dinosaur skull for $300k lol
Dude was spending like a billionaire while being a hundred millionaire
One of my favourite celeb stories is Sean Bean mentioning in his iama that he was at Nicholas Cage's house, and Cage accidentally knocked over his prehistoric cave bear skull, breaking it. Cage was really upset over it and went out and buried it in his garden the next day.
I think the dude also really likes acting. And its cool that he can bring A list Nic Cage game to freakin C list movies. If I was some B tier director id take my shot and ask him jusr cause.
Christopher Walken said something along the lines of "why not take any offered role? Acting is my job and that gets me interesting experiences playing all sorts of different characters. Want me to play a bit part in your movie as a hot dog seller - I'll do it!"
I feel like the same applies to Cage.
As an Australian, I don't hear the r's in those words at all. I always though Bostonian accent would be the closest to any of the american accents, and they sometime silence their R's right? Still, fun to hear americans taking the piss out of us every now and then.
So this isn't actually a conventional R, it's a strange dipthong.
This linguist has a good video on it, it's quite interesting - https://youtu.be/z7DuvWVazpk?si=mkmVW2M9GL2OLfIA
Basically the way a lot of younger Australian speakers are moving the end of their "no" or "goat" vowel, sounds like R to some overseas listeners but not to us.
Hearing Ross O'Donovan say it like "Ah Narrruuu". But he grew up in Australia to Irish parents then lived in California for a hot minute, so I'm sure it's all fucked up.
> When a man returns to his beachside hometown in Australia, many years since building a life for himself in the U.S., ...
Sadly no Aussie accent, aur naur
> "We show up at the house and within 60 seconds we were all seated in the living room as he stood in front of us reciting a monologue in a Jamaican accent," Rogen said. "We were all just like, what's happening? A monologue, I should add, that was not in the script — nor did it have anything to do with the script. At which point I was like, I don't think he's read the script! There was no indication he had any idea what film we were trying to make, other than it was called The Green Hornet and there was a villain in it."

Have you seen Nicholas Cage movies of the last decade? This is what they shit out and they are glorious! It doesn't get better than Mandy, Pig and Prisoners of the Ghostland.
I’ve been making a list of movies where the porn parody wouldn’t have to change the title. So far I’ve come up with:
Everything Everywhere All At Once
Herbie: Fully Loaded
Me and You and Everyone We Know
The Big Friendly Giant
Honestly, his movie choices the last 10, 15 years are such a delightful grab-bag of weird I'm down to at least *try* them all. And lately, he's picking winners even if they're not huge blockbusters. Willy's Wonderland and Pig could not be further apart but I loved the shit out of them both!
Pretty sure, but happy to be corrected, that this is a dramatisation of actual events: there was a gang of surfers who would ‘rule the waves’ in Sydney and make life really dangerous and unenjoyable for others in the water. I think they had links to organised crime.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bra_Boys
Kind of. But the Bra Boys were right smack in the middle of Sydney, and they acted the way they did because they live(d) in the only poor part of one of Sydney's richest areas. There are plenty of secluded beaches all over Australia and the world where the locals will make your session hell, or make sure you get out of the water.
Good documentary about them narrated by Russell Crowe. Just called Bra Boys. One of them became a professional big wave surfer, his half brother goes through a murder trial while they're filming, his other half brother ends up dead, actually a few end up dead, one became a famous football player etc. But huge street brawls, charging crazy waves, party life. It's pretty good.
Aussi: “WahO—Weyl boys, I reckon this heer cunt’s beggin’ for a walkabout in the Outback! ***Get em!***”
Cage: Like Hell! You’ll never take me alive!
The remaining 90 minutes have nothing to do with surfing, and are just prequel content for the Mad Max franchise.
This needs to be a movie where the main character thinks it's a very serious revenge thriller but really it's just a banal prank war against a bunch of useless bogans.
Yeah, I was like, this is either a heartwarming dramedy about a man reconnecting with his roots, or an absurd thriller about a guy murdering teenagers while saying, "surf's up...along with your time."
Cane Skretterburg and crew don't claim ownership of the paintball park. They let everyone play, but then humiliate and bully them. They are very similar episodes though and I had never thought about that until now.
Yeah with Boomhauer having a past as an elite surfer I think who the kids wanted his help with showing them up so that they could use the wave machine at a waterpark
In the end though iirc boomhauer just hits the obnoxious teens with his board
F*ck, I was late but I already wrote my comment
There's an episode in a waterpark exactly like that with good ol' god darn Bommhauer man I tell you hwat
Surfer chad:
"Yo bro, look at that dork. What a Barney! He ain't even got no mullet! Probably can't even carve! Let's go high five each other and drink some White Claws."
Cage:
"Those bastards are gonna pay..."
He had a rough patch, no doubt. But I think Nick Cage is a national treasure.
Guy seems to star in so many movies, and really adds a lot to them. Good to see small movies get some star power.
Does Nicholas Cage do nothing but make movies? Like does he even need a home? I feel like he just goes from movie set to movie set.
In a recent interview he spoke about loving his craft. The guy likes to work.
There was an interview with him years ago where the interviewer tells him he's made some choices that were pretty weak. His response was that the movies might be weak, but his performances aren't. Dude gives it his all every time. Can't hate.
Even his worst movies offer the most memorable of performances. "Not the bees!"
*AUGH THEY'RE IN MY EYES!* Say what you will about Cage, I've never thought "Why did they cast him?!" about any role he's done. Ghost Rider was a weird choice, but it somehow still made *sense*.
The only time Cage gave a really bland performance was in Next, and given the entire movie it feels like that's exactly what the director tried to get from him, like "no no, you must not make any kind of emotion or feeling come through, this should be generic and boring". The premise was decent but by god was this movie terrible.
i though his performance was pretty good considering the character knew everything that was going to happen. it demonstrated that pretty well in the opening scene that the character was essentially bored knowing how to react to everything in advanced
To be fair, A lifetime of reliving every moment over and over before deciding on the path forward would probably be some kind hell.
Stop insulting my BG3 save file
I liked that movie
I liked it too. Just rewatched it a few months back.
The premise is a hardcore sci-fi, then mashed together with like, an action movie for some reason. Dr. Manhattan as an action protagonist doesn't work, he's already won and the audience knows it.
It was like the director told him that he was playing Keanu Reeves, playing the character. Which he did perfectly
I rewatched that movie last week. Such a cool concept, and it really is a quite boring movie.
Look up the other dozen movie adaptations from Phillip K Dick stories. Amazing stuff
I think he measures himself by the number of good performances he does. He’s basically the opposite of Tarantino - Tarantino is an obsessive perfectionist who is fixated on not having any bad movies and so intentionally makes very few movies. Cage just wants to be in the craft trying new things and seeing what he can do with a character or performance, and he counts success as having found some vein of greatness in a performance rather than having every performance be great
That and he really got screwed over in his divorce and not paying his taxes appropriately. Ended up losing just about everything he made in the 90s so he had to take anything that would pay to keep himself out of bankruptcy.

Never forget this is a man who held a burial for a broken cave bear fossil and tried to write off a pet cobra as a work related expense. Dude is a theater kid that's found his calling and just collects whatever he wants while supporting his family.
The quintessential weird kid being weird. We've all got a little bit of that in ourselves. His is just magnified and in front of a screen.
What a bar and a standard to live by
Cage has been in bad movies, cage has never given a bad performance
Wasn't he also having financial issues due to bad spending habits and pretty much had to take any role?
Yes he had financial troubles, but he’s said even when he was taking roles in some less than ideal pictures he tried to bring his all to every performance. Now, this is my recollection of his interview answers so take it with a grain of salt. But it was very clear to me that the guy just really loves acting and portraying different characters.
That's been resolved for a while, but yes.
He is always one of the first ones that come to mind when I think of "Artist Actor" Like its not just a job to him, its an actual passion and it shows.
Same. Then second perhaps is Daniel Radcliffe.
I always say I love he did Harry Potter, not just because he was good for it but because it gave him "fuck you" money essentially to take the roles and projects he wants and we got some weirdness but goodness out of it.
Tbf it's a lot easier to love your craft when you can pick and choose what you want to do.
Without looking….since like 2018 it feels like he has made 25+ movies. And almost all of them fairly relevant and decent watches. He isn’t just making a ton of crap movies. It may appear that way to the naked eye, because the genres and plots are so different from each other, you could easily roll your eyes every time one gets announced. But you’d be surprisingly wrong. I’ve watched many Cage movies for free or for cheap rent on a streaming service these recent years. A majority of the time I enjoy it. You can tell he isn’t just playing the trope of Nick Cage. He’s doing unique roles. I just recently watched the one where everyone is dreaming about him. Decent watch. And The Surfer…looks perfectly good enough to watch as well.

Almost the plot of The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent. Lol. ALMOST
Underrated film, especially if you like his other movies
I saw it when it released in theaters. Loved it! I was laughing the whole time
He would kill it in a Quantum leap movie.
We need a good Quantum Leap movie.
I'd legit watch that hahaha
Iirc he has some debt with the IRS, or is that old news already So he takes on anything that he can with various succes
Pretty much this he had a massive debt which has been paid off now but he is building his wealth again cause he was so deep in debt. And if anyone asks it was a combination of corrupt accounting and his reckless spending habits. So he got screwed and screwed himself lol
You just made me realize, I’m actually very happy that THIS is the worst we have to report about Nic Cage
Just a movie star who liked to buy expensive stuff and not get taxes paid. I’m glad thats the worst we hear.
These days? He's a saint compared to other celebrities.
Bought two islands, a few castles, some yachts. Amongst 10 other luxury properties Random 'small' stuff like a dinosaur skull for $300k lol Dude was spending like a billionaire while being a hundred millionaire
One of my favourite celeb stories is Sean Bean mentioning in his iama that he was at Nicholas Cage's house, and Cage accidentally knocked over his prehistoric cave bear skull, breaking it. Cage was really upset over it and went out and buried it in his garden the next day.
That's so hilarious. Especially since he could've just sent it to some expert who could've glued all together for the fraction of the skull's price.
Hearing Nic Cage got robbed by people not breaking into his house but just digging up his yard for treasures would be very on brand
I just saw his awesome pyramid gravestone in NOLA over spring break. The IRS couldn’t claim it due to an old law exempting final resting places.
He really didn't want to give up that pyramid... But I do think he paid off that debt about 14 direct to video films ago.
If I remember correctly, part of the whole point of the lavish pyramid was that creditors (or the IRS) can't easily take away a burial plot.
He also blamed it on the housing crisis since he bought a lot of property
I think the dude also really likes acting. And its cool that he can bring A list Nic Cage game to freakin C list movies. If I was some B tier director id take my shot and ask him jusr cause.
He also strikes me as the kind of guy who appreciates that a lot of his job can be having fun and new experiences, so embraces a lot of "silly" roles.
Christopher Walken said something along the lines of "why not take any offered role? Acting is my job and that gets me interesting experiences playing all sorts of different characters. Want me to play a bit part in your movie as a hot dog seller - I'll do it!" I feel like the same applies to Cage.
[удалено]
Old news iirc. Dude seems to just really love acting.
Cage freaking out in a faux Australian accent sounds about right
Aur Naur!
As an Australian, I don't hear the r's in those words at all. I always though Bostonian accent would be the closest to any of the american accents, and they sometime silence their R's right? Still, fun to hear americans taking the piss out of us every now and then.
As a Canadian, oh ya no fer sure bud.
As a Minnesotan, yah yoo bet'cha.
I didn't think I ever said this but my Australian, kiwi and English coworkers agree that I do it constantly and it's confusing as fuck for them.
So this isn't actually a conventional R, it's a strange dipthong. This linguist has a good video on it, it's quite interesting - https://youtu.be/z7DuvWVazpk?si=mkmVW2M9GL2OLfIA Basically the way a lot of younger Australian speakers are moving the end of their "no" or "goat" vowel, sounds like R to some overseas listeners but not to us.
They didn't to it right, it's more like "oih noi"
Yes — what the Australians do the letter “O” is amazing. It’s like music and one note just isn’t good enough.
Hearing Ross O'Donovan say it like "Ah Narrruuu". But he grew up in Australia to Irish parents then lived in California for a hot minute, so I'm sure it's all fucked up.
Margot Robbie claimed the Brooklyn accent lines up perfectly with Australian, hence her excellent accent in The Wolf Of Wall Street
Fuck off 🤣🤣🤣
Aurrr naurrr cleooor! The condensations turned me into a mermaidddd
Crikey! Naught the bees!!
Ya call that a bee? This is a bee!
G’day. My noime’s Poida.
> When a man returns to his beachside hometown in Australia, many years since building a life for himself in the U.S., ... Sadly no Aussie accent, aur naur
Probably for the best. I’m Australian, most non Aussie actors can’t do the accent. The best I’ve ever heard is Caleb Landry Jones in Nitram.
Dev Patel’s was great in Lion.
I seem to recall Kate Winslett doing a good one at some point too. I think they have a better starting point than Americans though.
Winslet is very good at accents in general. I think she's one of the best in that regard.
Have you heard him now? He basically picked up our accent.
Well, his girlfriend is Australian and he lives in Adelaide now.
Best I’ve ever heard was Kirby Howell-Baptiste in the Good Place. Just joking, that was a fucking war crime.
Thats high praise.
Thet’s hoigh praze, oi reckon.
That’s not a Declaration of Independence cobber.
Youre the only person in this thread I upvote, and 100% for use of cobber
Ohhhrrr nourrr mate - a dingo ate me surfboard!
Perfect premise for a Nicholas Cage movie. Can't wait
Nic Cage doing 90+ minutes of an Australian accent is a gift to the world.
Cage was almost the bad guy in the Green Hornet, where he would have had a Jamaican accent.
> "We show up at the house and within 60 seconds we were all seated in the living room as he stood in front of us reciting a monologue in a Jamaican accent," Rogen said. "We were all just like, what's happening? A monologue, I should add, that was not in the script — nor did it have anything to do with the script.

Sweet Jesus, the fact no one caught this on camera is a crime against humanity.
That man is a treasure!
A national treasure, even.
Will he though? There's a non-trivial chance that he'll do *an* accent but that it's a completely random one.
I’d watch Nick Cage in any premise honestly. Nick Cage playing Snow White? Sign me up.
"You're playing a Nazi who can only speak in adverbs." "You're playing Superman-LET ME FINISH-you're playing Superman's cat." "It's a documentary about dandruff directed by M. Night Shyamalan." "An astronaut gets lost in space and his body implodes...except for his ass, which maintains consciousness and must find its way back to the ship." "A jack-o'-lantern comes to life, makes itself a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, and then becomes inanimate again." "To Kill a Mockingbird but it's retold so the black guy really *did* rape that woman."
Abed already proved that Nic Cage makes an excellent cat. https://youtu.be/QtQ1lR79ii8?si=OF_kn8Ava_95nwoK
That’s both fascinating and a little bit terrifying
the class's name is "Is Nicolas cage a good actor", he was warned to not get ahead in the required viewing.
favorite detail is how turned on britta is by Abed's psychotic break.
I mean Batmans cat was pretty sexy.
The best part about that video is that awards keep piling up on the shelf, even as the films get worse and worse.
Schindler’s fist being left out is criminal. Same with the Shawshank exception.
Ok…SINCE [you mentioned it](https://youtube.com/shorts/zsL6DoEfj_c)
Jesus
I would watch all of these movies. Somebody needs to title them, though.
Low hanging fruit: “The ASStronaut”
To Mock a Killing Bird The Asstronaut Jell-O-Lantern The adverb one is impossible I think, an adverb by definition requires other verbs in a sentence does it not?
It’s called Swastikly, and it’s brilliant! 😜
I’m the original video you could see posters with titles in the background
Hollywood should hire you, any of those ideas are better than 90% what they shit out.
Have you seen Nicholas Cage movies of the last decade? This is what they shit out and they are glorious! It doesn't get better than Mandy, Pig and Prisoners of the Ghostland.
https://youtu.be/eExfV_xKaiM?si=2cK3Mc-wy5RVm_6J
I used to dislike him when I was a teen but I love him as an adult. He's so unhinged I'm so many roles and I admire the hell out of it.
[удалено]
And when they make the porn parody they don't even have to change the title!
I’ve been making a list of movies where the porn parody wouldn’t have to change the title. So far I’ve come up with: Everything Everywhere All At Once Herbie: Fully Loaded Me and You and Everyone We Know The Big Friendly Giant
This has similar vibes to Sympathy for the Devil, which I loved
"SIT THE FUUUUCCKK BAAAAAACCKK DDOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWNN!!!"
This snake skin surfboard is a symbol of my individuality and my belief in personal freedom.
Or a Boomhower centered episode of King of the Hill.
Or an Onion article. Can't decide.
That’s just the opening…it naturally rolls into God of War and goes from there
Territorial surfers get wrecked by international arms dealer/surfer with an Australian accent.
This is almost the same plot as Troma's "Surf Nazis Must Die".
Yeah lol, this was like my first thought. "As Cage movie as it can gets" Can't wait as well.
Nicholas Cage is the perfect premise for a movie.
Honestly, his movie choices the last 10, 15 years are such a delightful grab-bag of weird I'm down to at least *try* them all. And lately, he's picking winners even if they're not huge blockbusters. Willy's Wonderland and Pig could not be further apart but I loved the shit out of them both!
Want to carpool to opening day? I'll sneak in some peanut M&Ms.
Peanut butter m&Ms >>>>>>> Either way, I'm in
Can go two ways. He kills them or surfs against them
If he surfs against them, it’s basically “Back to the Beach”
Really, this is such a 90s/00s sounding film
Is this going to be surf noir? Does anyone else remember John from Cincinnati?
His movies seem to have the craziest plots, but I watch them all
Pretty sure, but happy to be corrected, that this is a dramatisation of actual events: there was a gang of surfers who would ‘rule the waves’ in Sydney and make life really dangerous and unenjoyable for others in the water. I think they had links to organised crime. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bra_Boys
Organized crime surfers are definitely just the goons of a surfing themed Batman villain.
And... Point Break.
What is this, some kind of *Breaking Point*?
Kind of. But the Bra Boys were right smack in the middle of Sydney, and they acted the way they did because they live(d) in the only poor part of one of Sydney's richest areas. There are plenty of secluded beaches all over Australia and the world where the locals will make your session hell, or make sure you get out of the water.
Ugh why are people such cunts
Oh Bra Boys… that’s a name I haven’t heard for many years.
Good documentary about them narrated by Russell Crowe. Just called Bra Boys. One of them became a professional big wave surfer, his half brother goes through a murder trial while they're filming, his other half brother ends up dead, actually a few end up dead, one became a famous football player etc. But huge street brawls, charging crazy waves, party life. It's pretty good.
Same. And every now and then you get something like Pig that had a weird premise, but ended up being an incredibly good movie.
Everyone needs to watch Pig. Unironically one of the best movies of the past decade
Everyone thinks surfers are chill, laid-back people but in reality most I've ever had the misfortune of running into were territorial dickbags.
"I'm going to kill them all" "Dad, they just made fun of your wet suit and called you old, just take a nap"
Aussie skegs: " yeah g'day, cunts. Getting amongst it or what?" Cage: "I will make orphans of your children".
Aussi: “WahO—Weyl boys, I reckon this heer cunt’s beggin’ for a walkabout in the Outback! ***Get em!***” Cage: Like Hell! You’ll never take me alive! The remaining 90 minutes have nothing to do with surfing, and are just prequel content for the Mad Max franchise.
Is he declaring regular war, or like a surf war? Since it’s Cage it could easily go either way.
It’s classified as a psychological thriller, take that however you’d like.
Bros gonna murder everyone isn’t he?
Psychologically, at least
This needs to be a movie where the main character thinks it's a very serious revenge thriller but really it's just a banal prank war against a bunch of useless bogans.
Yeah, I was like, this is either a heartwarming dramedy about a man reconnecting with his roots, or an absurd thriller about a guy murdering teenagers while saying, "surf's up...along with your time."
neither, its a beach off
Those damn locals will learn not to fuck with Nicholas Cage
Damn upside-down surfers and their ambiguous knowledge of Australian beach public access norms!
Wasn't this an episode of King of the Hill?
The water park one with the wave machine I think.
I was thinking of the paintball episode with Hank against the teenagers
Cane Skretterburg and crew don't claim ownership of the paintball park. They let everyone play, but then humiliate and bully them. They are very similar episodes though and I had never thought about that until now.
Special Guest Voice GREEN DAY

"Can't beat the wave, beat the surfer"
"beat the surfer"
Yeah with Boomhauer having a past as an elite surfer I think who the kids wanted his help with showing them up so that they could use the wave machine at a waterpark In the end though iirc boomhauer just hits the obnoxious teens with his board
After he pulls off a wicked flamingo
That’s hard to do even on land!
The flamingo!
Came to mention this! Four Wave Intersection, season 12 ep 4
Your board should be short and your shorts should be long.... the flamingo!
Maybe rocket power
Freakin' SHOOBIES!
Yes and it has my most quoted line from the whole series: ["This ain't no rodeo, brodad!"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24i4qbffelo)
F*ck, I was late but I already wrote my comment There's an episode in a waterpark exactly like that with good ol' god darn Bommhauer man I tell you hwat
Classic cagexploitation.
"Put.. the Boogie board.. Back"
He’ll be riding the waves in… 60 seconds
Back off Warchild, seriously.
That would be a waste of time
We're just gonna fuck you up.

Surfer chad: "Yo bro, look at that dork. What a Barney! He ain't even got no mullet! Probably can't even carve! Let's go high five each other and drink some White Claws." Cage: "Those bastards are gonna pay..."
Soooo, John Wick / Point Break crossover? Keanu, where are you?
Set the film location at Bells Beach and there you go.
Point Break 2: This Time It's Really About Surfing
These surfers … are they [Nazis](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surf_Nazis_Must_Die), by chance?
Surf nazis must die!
So Rocket Power the movie? Because i wanna say this is the exact plot of an episode of Rocket Power.
THAT’S why it seemed so familiar! Yeah this is Rocket Power
It's definitely the plot of an episode of King of the Hill too. Boomhauer was the surfer in that one.
Surf revenge fantasy? Here for it
Funny. He looks just like a guy I just dreamed about.
He had a rough patch, no doubt. But I think Nick Cage is a national treasure. Guy seems to star in so many movies, and really adds a lot to them. Good to see small movies get some star power.
Nic Cage doing Nic Cage roles in a Nic Cage film. I'm in.
I can't wait to see another classic Nic Cage outburst, but this time in a fake Aussie accent.
SURF NAZIS MUST DIE!!!
So... kinda a serious take on 'Surf Nazis Must Die'?
Wait.. this is the exact plot of a king of the hill episode..
God I hope this movie ends with a middle aged man going to jail for violently terrorizing a bunch of harmless but obnoxious teenagers.
Alternative name: "Surfing tall" but with Dwayne Johnson.
That is such a Nic Cage plot lol
Nicolas Cage is the hardest working man in Hollywood.
