Nicolas Cage Makes Surprise Cameo In Grindhouse	Permalink

http://www.uncut.co.uk/nicolas-cage/nicolas-cage-makes-surprise-cameo-in-grindhouse-news I am not sure if this is old or if it is a new piece about an older movie, but at any rate I have never seen it before, and I think it is cool to read what Nic says, lol! The star of Wild At Heart, Adaptation and Raising Arizona, Nicholas Cage, speaks exclusively to Uncut in the latest issue, out tomorrow. He talks through his classic film moments and tells us how his surprise cameo in the Tarantino/Rodriguez' double-feature, Grindhouse, came about. Cage told Uncut said was initially to help out a friend. He says: "I did it as a favour for my old friend Rob Zombie, over dinner one night. No money exchanged hands. I didn't know anything about it. Rob said Tarantino and Rodriguez are doing these features, and in between there are these trailers for movies which don't exist. Rob said he was doing Werewolf Nazi Women Of The SS, and did I want to play a Nazi? I said, well, I'm not real comfortable with that. "He goes, well then, would you play Fu Man Chu? Yeah, I might do that, I said. But I don't want to wear any gloopy Asian make-up. I had my own weird ideas about what Fu Man Chu would be doing. "Then I went on the set of Grindhouse later and Bob Weinstein wanted me to do press and all that, and I went: whoa, whoa, whoa. I just did this for Rob, for fun, nothing else. I don't want to mislead people into thinking I'm in a big role in this movie, it's not like that. I'm Fu Man Chu, and nobody will be able to understand a word I'm saying, because Fu is upset about the choices his wives have made with his interior decorating. They've got it all wrong." __________________

I love how honest Nic was in this interview. Especially about the type of role he played and how he didn't want to mislead anyone. That's right! I forgot, he does have a close friendship with Rob Zombie. Gosh, that's Hollywood for you. When you can call up Nic Cage and request a favor and he grants it!!! Very cool - indeed! __________________ Whoop, Whoop!!!!

WOW! Really interesting, to hear the whole story! I already knew, that this "role" was a favour for his friend Rob Zombie, but, to read it in an whole context is really cool! Thanks for posting it, Lady T.! __________________ "When you think about magic, it is imagination plus willpower focused in such a way that you can create a conscious effect in the material world..."

Thanks for posting Lady t, I have seen it before but it is great to have it here Evidence that Nic does actually work for free....makes it even more cool that his Fu Man Chu has become like a cultish piece in the Nic repertoire.! "..because Fu is upset about the choices his wives have made with his interior decorating. They've got it all wrong." __________________
