TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Nicolas Cage and John Travolta spent two weeks together before filming to learn how to play each other. They decided on specific gestures and vocal cadences for each character that could be mimicked.

Nick Cassavetes surprised John Woo by shaving his head for the role. Woo said it was just the image he wanted.

The crew shot on Nicolas Cage's birthday. John Woo let Cage get emotionally charged up for a scene, then surprised him with a birthday cake. Afterwards, Cage asked Woo not to do that again.

John Travolta asked the writers if they were making fun of him with the "ridiculous chin" line. They explained that Castor was such a narcissist that he would hate having anyone else's face.

Originally Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone were in mind to play the lead roles. When John Woo was brought in to direct, he decided that John Travolta and Nicolas Cage would be more suited to the roles. Other pairs that the studio wanted was Michael Douglas (who was the executive producer for this movie)/Harrison Ford, Bruce Willis/Alec Baldwin, and Robert DeNiro/Al Pacino.

Popular Dialogues

"Castor Troy: [during the shootout at the apartment] I don't know what I hate wearing worse: your face or your body. I mean I enjoy *boning* your wife, but let's face it, we both like it better the other way, yes? So why don't we trade back. Sean Archer: You can't give back what you've taken from me. Castor Troy: OK, then... plan B, why don't we just kill each other?"

"Castor Troy: [to Jamie] If you dress like Halloween, ghouls will try to get in your pants."
