15 Awful Films Terminator Actors Want You To Forget

10. Deadfall (1993) - Michael Biehn

RottenTomatoes Score: 0% The Plot: Con artist Joe (Michael Biehn) inadvertently kills his dad, Mike (James Coburn), during a sting gone wrong, and in order to see out his dying request, seeks to rip off Mike's twin brother Lou, stealing some valuable jewels which Lou had lifted from Mike years previous. Lou is himself a schemer, however, so Joe has no idea quite what he's getting himself into. Why It Sucks: Francis Ford Coppola's nephew Christopher didn't appear to learn much from his father with this undercooked attempt at a gritty film noir that just misses the mark completely. Biehn, a fine actor and handsome leading man, is given thoroughly a leaden script to work his way through, though honestly, the only reason anyone should bother with it is for Nicolas Cage's outrageously over-the-top performance, which walks a fine line between being truly awful and hysterically, brilliantly insane. It's also kinda hard to ignore the fact that Cage is probably only in the film because his brother directed it. Yup. People constantly wonder why Biehn's career didn't take off bigger after The Terminator and Aliens, and garbage like this is pretty much the answer.
