one more thing to blame Nicholas Cage for
FILM A B'WAY SMASH

A movie chase scene got too realistic early today when a car jumped a curb during a film shoot and smashed into the entrance of a Times Square restaurant, injuring two people, police and witnesses said.

The action scene gone awry unfolded at the Sbarro at 47th Street and Seventh Avenue shortly before 1 a.m.

Street closing notices posted by the police indicated the shoot was for the Nicolas Cage film, "The Sorcerer's Apprentice."

The scene required a Ferrari to pass several vehicles in pursuit of a Mercedes as it drove down Seventh Avenue, which was closed to traffic for the filming.

Mark Watkins, a tourist from Birmingham, England, watched the live action chase from the top of the new TKTS booth.

"A black Ferrari and a silver Mercedes were chasing each other," he said.

1. I'm still blaming him for "Firebirds", the stupidest fucking movie ever made.
Even more stupid than "Top Gun" because it had AH-64 Apache helicopters instead of M-14 Tomcats, and Nick Cage instead of Tom Cruise. Oh, and Sean Young instead of Kelly McGillis.

I think that was the last mainstream movie Sean Young had a major role in. After seeing that, someone must have said: "Yeah, she's done"

2. GAH! Enough with the crashing Ferraris!
Jesus, people. Look, go down to the Toyota dealer and buy all the Corollas that you want. They're cheap to buy, economical, comfortable, good looking. Anyway, buy a Corolla and crash that. Crash a Kia. I don't care, just stop wrecking Ferraris!

5. A chase scene in a Cage film?
There's some bold directing.
