Clip of the Day: Nicolas Cage in 'The Wicker Man'

Categories: DVD/Video, Film

Cage_lWhen the remake of the 1973 cult classic horror film The Wicker Man came out in theaters last year, I heeded the warning of most reviews and stayed far, far away. But then a friend sent me this YouTube clip of scenes from the film, and I began to wonder if I’d let The Craptacular Movie of 2006 pass me by. Any further details will only spoil the fun, but I will warn that some of the excerpts are violent in what would normally be a highly offensive way, but in this context just seemed so frickin’ random that I couldn’t help but laugh at the absurdity of it all. Enjoy!

    That movie was freakin’ hilarious! Nic Cage was way campy…more than usual, anyway. “You’re all little liars!!!”

  • kinglouieXVIII

    Neil LaBute is such a great director. What went so wrong here?

  • aramis

    OMG. Nick Cage jackin’ some poor witch’s bike was SO GTA! Fantastic. If I had known he was in a Bear suit punching out random women, I most certainly would have made a trip to the flickhouse to see it. Ah, well, I guess that’s why the PTB invented Netflix.

  • AJ flick

    Um … the location was really great. Good photography. Other than that, the whole movie should have been torched!!!!

  • Kris

    Pure Hilarity, good laugh to end the day! Thanks Adam!

  • Brandon

    wh…wha…what the…just WHAT?
    hilarious.

  • nathan

    MY EYES!!!!! MY EYES!!!!! That’s one of the funnier things I’ve seen in a long long time, I kinda want to see the movie now.

  • Jay

    I saw this movie in the theaters with some friends and I was incredibly upset at having spent money on it…that was until about 10 minutes into it when I realized that it was the Comedy Event of 2007! This movie was HIGHLARIOUS! Talladega who?? Nic Cage PUNCHING that girl in the MOUTH made me bust a gut. Thank you for posting and recognizing what I experienced firsthand.

  • Vicky

    Wow that just made my day. Thanks EW! *Thumbs up*

  • mike

    Aside from the great Adaptation, the last good Nicholas Cage movie was When? How many movies ago?

  • Jack Fear

    NOT THE BEES!

  • Fatima

    Added to Netflix queue….right….now!

  • Ben Joseph

    To reiterate…
    “AHH THE BEES!! NOT THE BEES!!”

  • Lene

    Trust me – that clip is all you need. The rest of the movie is… well. It’s not so bad, it’s good. It’s just plain awful.

  • ana

    I don’t think I’ve genuinely laughed that hard in years. It took about 30 seconds in, but the bear suit did it. Like the rest of you, I’m hopping onto Netflix now and ordering it up.

  • t3hdow

    I saw that clip a few days ago. Frakkin’ hilarious. Especially the bees part.

  • Brad in Edmonton

    Wow. How did Nic Cage ever win an Oscar? Was it like the least competitive year ever for best actor or something?

  • furry_tom

    I’m so pissed off. I went as three hole punch Jim for Halloween when I should have been Nicholas Cage in a bear suit!

  • John T.

    What about “Ow my leg, ow my other leg!”

  • Daniel

    This is when I am glad this four letter internet communication code exists because I just totally LMAO.
    Hilarious. Get Cage a Golden Raz pronto!

  • Daniel

    What’s really ironic about this is that EW’s own O.G. gave the movie a generally positive review! LOL

  • Ceballos

    Given this, and the “Ghost Rider” trailer, I’d say Nic Cage has a decent shot at starring in back-to-back “Craptacular movies of the year”.
