We are taking a request from a friend , who is an author, a scriptwriter and one of the biggest repository of knowledge about movies , @doublemasaala . Hong Kong movie legend John Woo's Travolta and Cage starrer thriller *Face/Off*(1997) is our #RetroMovieOfTheWeek Stay tuned .😊
@Schwarzenegger and @TheSlyStallone were supposed to be the first choices for Archer and Troy , but they were busy with the other projects at that time. Imagine one Terminator vs Rambo clash way back in 90s that couldn't be. What a tragedy for box office .😭

Nicolas was shooting for *Face/Off* when he wasn't on the sets of Con Air . both movies had action to go for and made it easier for him to switch between sets , the complexity of his character made him more serious on the set while Travolta enjoyed his part.

Just like John Woo likes his movies to be real action filled , he avoided CGI in Face/Off too.Which meant that the graphic face swapping surgery scene was supposed to be done on some actual latex body replicas of the lead actors to give it more genuine touch.

The legendary boat chase scene from the climax was actually the first scene to be shot from the movie. John Woo went all out with his craft and produced such a spectacle that the people at Paramount went nuts and increased the budget of the movie by a lot đŸ€—.

In 2008 , the Blu Ray release of Face/Off became the first one ever done by Paramount pictures .good enough for one of the best action movies from the decade of 90s.

Michael Douglas was the Executive Producer of the movie . And just so you know, he was also the executive producer of the 5 Oscar winning One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest starring Jack Nicholson.

The plane chase and the crash at the hangar scene was one of many excellent action sequences from the mind of John Woo. It also inspires the climax scene from @akshaykumar , @SunielVShetty starrer Aan:Men at work(2004) climax scene.
