Deadfall (1993)

A must for bad movie and bad Nicholas Cage fans everywere
23 July 2019
I can't believe I've never seen this gem of a bad movie. For starters, it's the most over the top Nicholas Cage role Nicholas Cage has ever played. If he was at 11 in Wicker Man, he's at like a 23 in this, yet somehow it never made any of the "best of Cage" videos on YouTube. It's also got James Coburn, Peter Fonda, Charles Wainright III ("Linc" from Mod Squad), Michael Constantine, Talia Shire, and even a small part by Mickey Dolenz of the Monkees.

Then just when you think it can't get any weirder, they hit you with Charlie Sheen and - wait for it - Angus Scrimm. who actually has a bigger part here than in Phantasm.

They were going for noir, but ended up making an unintentional parody of noir. Very entertaining if you like that sort of thing.
