Another Nic Cage, I know. He actually produced this one too. This is "Serious Actor" Nic Cage not "Crazy Nic Having a Good Time"
It is the lowest grossing film to debut at #1 since "Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star"
It has 8% on Rotten Tomatoes. EIGHT PERCENT.
In the middle of filming in Thailand, there was a coup d'etat... and the filming only stopped for 6 hours.
Dialogue like "You duck fucker!"
.
It has everything:
Tender love-making..
cool wardrobe..
Very interesting hair..
Windproof hats...
And more "cool camera angles" than your average student film...
It was a 1999 Thai film made by the Pang Brothers (Danny and ....Oxide. Seriously. His first name is Oxide ). They were an editor and... a colorist.
That's right... "Oxide" was a colorist.
In the original, the assassin was the deaf-mute. They came to Hollywood and remade with Nic Cage who instead of having himself play a deaf-mute, made the girlfriend be the deaf-mute. (Because, of course.)
