The filming of "Big Hit in Bangkok" starring Nicolas Cage was the talk
this past week. Well, there is also that evil jackass Karr dude that I
don’t want to waste 1’s and 0’s on. Big Hit is a remake of Danny and
Oxide Pang’s 1999 gangster thriller "Bangkok Dangerous" and is being
shot entirely in Thailand. They have so far filmed at two local
nightlife spots that I know of. Soi Cowboy’s Long Gun go-go was chosen
for the first shoot. Withces Tavern on Thong Lo was the second. I
happen to be at Witches Tavern for a friends birthday that night and
caught a glimpse of the shooting. Nicolas Cage is one scary looking
dude. He did the same scene over and over…look at his watch, eat
something, and then look around suspiciously. He was like a robot and
performed the same tasks about thirty times. I also barely recognized
him. His latest weave is jet black, his skin is ghost pale and his eyes
were hauntingly light blue. The accompanying cast though consisted of
some hip new Hollywood actors which should give the film an edge that Cage might not be able to.
