Face.... Off.

Face.... Off.

Guys... I'm a full grown man and this is the first time I realized the premise of the 1997 Blockbuster Hit, "Face Off" is so illogical. It makes no sense. Nicolas Cage's character would never wake up, they'd have him in such a medically induced coma, that he'd never be able to wake up and tell the guy to give him a face. f**kin' bulls**t.

He's that crazy he was able to over power the sedatives. He was driven by his insatiable desire to eat peaches...

A...it was a true story, allegedly. And B... peaches πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…. I just.. gotta have... that peach!

I did think of one pseudo plausible explanation emphasison the pseudo. They showed a bag of "blues" in his case at the beginning. Bluez were typically downers back in the day, like way before '97. So maybe they were trying to show that he already had a tolerance for downers, but C'mon, can't happen won't happen.

What are the odds that two people would have the same correct facial bone structure to be able to exactly match and heal up quickly enough to pull off any of the scam?

I think they poorly covered that. They were gonna put some sort of a hard piece of idk, medical grade plastic in there to mimic his facial structure, but that's one hell of a stretch because I would think the body would reject that large an object under someones face. Also, it would have to go under the muscles too, otherwise the persons skin wouldn't move when they talked, lolol. They were getting a little fast and loose with suspension of disbelief in 97.

Not only that, I love how easy he makes the rest sound after the facial plastic part. I'll try to find the scene.

I couldn't find the scene but he basically said, "Reconnect the ocular nerve and facial muscles and nerve endings and boom bam bim, you're done."

Dude... the f**king face has so many tendons and nerve endings, I think more than anywhere else on your body. Do you know how long it would take to reconnect every nerve ending in your f**king face? πŸ˜… Apparently about 1 minute because that's how long it was in the movie.

Oi Dr.?!
How do you know the state of medical transplant in that universe? Go write to the director, and be told its a different time line. Not everything needs to be 100% accurate. Its not a documentary.
But yes, it is silly and fun!

I like your emotion tho.
Keep being stupidly angry at things out of your control. Your spirit guide might channel some truth through it hah.

The could have done a mind swap but then it wouldn't have a gimmick title.

Could have easily called it Mind Games or some s**t, but yeah it's not as catchy or direct to the plot.

Uhhhhhh, for one it's what I went to college for, and I already mentioned why it's stupid as hell (stupid in a good way, but they realllllly pushed it with this one) and that concept is called suspension if disbelief. They got greedy with it in this flick lolol.
