Con Air A stand-up guy with a murder wrap, Jesus hair, and a heart of gold, Nicolas Cage’s Con Air character isn’t nearly as cartoon-y as his Face/Off one, but there is his jet landing on the Vegas strip scene to consider, as well as the “It’s not all mai tais and Yahtzee out there, but let’s go!” line before running through an avalanche of gunfire.
