    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Nicolas Cage thought Javi was the best written character in the movie, so much so he even asked to trade parts, as he thought playing his own biggest fan was more meta than playing himself. It wasn't until Pedro Pascal was cast that Cage eventually relented.
    • Goofs
      Javi loads the shotgun with an empty shell.
    • Quotes

      Nick Cage: Paddington 2 is incredible.

      Javi Gutierrez: I fucking told you.

    • Crazy credits
      Nicolas Cage is credited twice in the end titles: under his own name Nicolas Cage, playing "Nick Cage", and also under the name Nicolas Kim Coppola (his real birth name), playing "Nicky".

    Escapism at its best

    The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent. Nicholas Cage movie, about Nicholas Cage and his fight between his artistic aspirations and his chasing of the big bucks as a movie star. In other words there's lots of over acting, lots of action and it's very very clever and funny. A wonderful movie and well worth seeing . 8/10.
