FACE/OFF - 25th Anniversary!

25 years ago 2 titans of acting and 1 legendary director from Hong Kong formed like Voltron to produce what was arguably the peak of action-cinema.

25 years later? We still want to take his Face… Off.

Celebrate the 25th Anniversary of an outlandish tale of epic face-swapping proportions starring Nicolas Cage (as Castor Troy/Sean Archer) and John Travolta (as Sean Archer/Castor Troy) who will stop at nothing to get his face (and wife) back from the clutches of the “California Klaus Kinski.”

Made by everyone’s favourite two-gun touting, slo-mo loving, dove-fetishest John Woo aka the greatest living director of action films.
