Around 2014, after Nicolas Cage had a string of box office flops with the likes of The Sorcerer's Apprentice and Ghost Rider: Spirit Of Vengeance, the actor started becoming the face of straight-to-VOD (video on demand) action movies.

Those roles piled up in the dozens as reports surfaced that Cage blew his US$150mil (RM632mil) fortune, owed the IRS US$6.3mil (RM26.65mil) in property taxes and was taking every acting role he could in order to get out of debt.
