20 years of greatness: celebrating Con Air

I love this movie.

Random Latino who is about to get burned alive: CY!!
Cyrus with a lit cigarette: Anora!
Flicks cig.



Cyrus: I despise rapists. For me you are somewhere between a cockroach and that white stuff that accumulates at the corner of your mouth when you're really thirsty. But in your case I'll make an exception.

Dave chapelle: I just gotta know one thing. You didn't mean that dirty nigger crack head shit did you?
Cyrus : Give me that gun.....(takes gun).. Hell yes I meant it.


Cyrus: ohh nothing makes me sader then the agent lost his bladder on the.... airplane !
 
I love this movie. It's up there in the Holy Trinity of Cage with The Rock and Face/Off, which I'm glad to have seen already mentioned.

The last time I saw it was a couple of months ago during an all-night Nick Cage marathon a cinema put on and damn if I still can't quote it word-for-word. Cage has never been more of a badass. The supporting cast were fantastic, too. Malkovich playing Cyrus was schlocky as hell but really enjoyable, Buscemi as Garland Greene was just the best piece of casting ever.

Best quotes:

Pinball: Yeah, the Department of Erect... Corrections.

Greene: Now you're talking semantics. What if I told you insane was working 50 hours a week in some office for 50 years at the end of which they tell you to piss off? Ending up in some retirement village... hoping to die before suffering the indignity of trying to make it to the toilet on time. Wouldn't you consider that to be insane?

Cyrus: And if you say a word about this over the radio, the next wings you see will belong to the flies buzzing over your rotting corpse.

Pure. Unadulterated. Perfection.
 
Best campy nostalgia fix. Loved it when it was back on VHS; great time with the family watching it. Best bad guy nicknames, a family live story, high impact action, Nicholas Cage at his best, John Cusack and a highlight of 90s kickass drama. MTV style soundtrack, the works.

How do I live, without you??
 
Amazing film, such good fun and very quotable.

New shooter coming out, new shooter. Does the new shooter feel lucky? Well, does he?

yes he does.
 
Define irony: a bunch of idiots dancing around on a plane to a song made famous by a band that died in a plane crash.

GOAT cage film.
