OK, so it’s more like a severed hand (and part of an arm), but “Nicolas Cage Disarms a Severed Hand” just doesn’t have the same ring to it. Anyways, you shouldn’t be judging my accuracy in headline making. You should be watching this ridiculous new clip from Bangkok Dangerous.

Because of the atrocious editing, I can’t really tell what’s going on during most of this scene. And I definitely don’t know what exactly is occurring when the bad guy gets his arm hand chopped off. But I try not to judge modern Nicolas Cage movies on their editing, their direction or their sense. So long as Nicolas Cage is being Nicolas Cage, that’s all that matters.

And if he takes a gun from a bad guy’s severed arm hand and then shoots that bad guy with it, all the better. Especially if there’s a uselessly cool shot from underneath the boat when the bullets are going through it.

Bangkok Dangerous, directed by Danny Pang and Oxide Pang Chun, based on their 1999 Hong Kong action film, comes out September 5.
