I had never seen. Sadly, I wish that were still true. Could anybody have predicted a long career for Nicholas Cage based on this movie (and the one's he'd made to this point)?

I think that was his first big role. I know one of his first was Fast Times At Ridgemont High.

Yes it was, that and The Cotton Club the year before. Uncle Francis gave him both those roles. Then the next year came Raising Arizona.

I thought "Valley Girl" was his "next big thing" movie. Then "Birdy" was his first big serious movie. I thought it and he were terrible.
