Face/Off (1997) Known Trivia

• Originally, Nicolas Cage turned down the role of Castor Troy, citing a lack of interest in playing a villain. However, once he was told that he would actually be playing the hero for a majority of the film, he quickly signed on. 90 of 90 found this interesting Interesting? Yes No |
• Originally Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone were in mind to play the lead roles, but when John Woo was brought in to direct, he decided that John Travolta and Nicolas Cage would be more suited to the roles. 85 of 86 found this interesting Interesting? Yes No |
• The studio wanted John Woo to take the slash out of the title, but he kept it in so people wouldn't think it was a hockey movie. 46 of 47 found this interesting Interesting? Yes No |
• (at around 1h 45 mins) The blood types for the two main characters (i.e. Sean Archer and Castor Troy) are mentioned in the movie, and at a subtle level they reflect their antagonistic nature. Archer's Blood type is O negative, while Troy's is AB positive, these two blood types are as different as you can get. O negative- the universal donor reflects Archer's role as a policeman dedicated to serving the community, while Troy's AB positive - the universal recipient suggests someone who takes from society without giving anything back. 66 of 69 found this interesting Interesting?

• According to producer Barrie M. Osborne, most of the challenging action scenes, including the fight on the deck of the boat and the airplane going down the runway, were originally planned as green screen shots. But they filmed them practically to support the "realism of story". 23 of 23 found this interesting Interesting? Yes No |
• (at around 1h 30 mins) The scene of Adam listening to "Over the Rainbow" on his portable headphones was John Woo's idea and not part of the original script. PARAMOUNT Pictures refused to finance the extra scene and John Woo had to use his own money to make that happen. He was later paid back as the film turned out to be profitable. (A similar scene can be seen in Woo's Hard Boiled (1992)) 44 of 46 found this interesting Interesting? Yes No |
• The script as presented to director John Woo was set in the future, but Woo suggested changing the setting to the present to focus on the dramatic and psychological elements of the storyline. 36 of 38 found this interesting Interesting? Yes No |
