With the release of Renfield, Nicolas Cage finally steps into the role of an actual Vampire; Dracula no less. But thirty-five years ago, Nic Cage played Peter Loew, a New York yuppie who thought he was becoming a vampire, and turned him into one of his most iconic performances. Vampire’s Kiss has found a second life on the internet thanks to some iconic Nicolas Cage memes. But here’s the thing, Vampire’s Kiss not only gave birth to the Nic Cage meme, it proved to Cage that his absurd performances were part of his charm and led to roles that generated tons of funny memes, like “Not the bees” from Wicker Man and his recent Nicolas Cage and Pedro Pascal meme from The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent.

In this video, we’re not going to look at just one Nicolas Cage meme, but all of the best memes. So, try not to laugh, because this video deep dive into the origin of Vampire’s Kiss best scenes, the Vampire’s Kiss Alphabet freakout. Using a Nicolas Cage interview or two we explore the origin of how he designed the performance and how he channeled his father to generate this iconic Nicolas cage meme.

In another Nicolas Cage interview, he talks about how he uses independent cinema “almost like a laboratory” and tries to apply it to big blockbusters. He straight up links Vampire’s Kiss to Face/Off. So, without Vampire’s Kiss there would be no Face Off beginning scene or any of the numerous FaceOff memes.

Still, some of the “Nicolas Cage best scenes” come from movies he did in the 2000’s like The Wicker Man, Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans, and Mom and Dad.

If you haven’t noticed some of Nicolas Cage’s most dank memes are generally the spawn of classic Nicolas Cage freakouts, which is why the Nicolas Cage freakout in Mandy is one of his best.

This video is more than just a Nicolas Cage meme compilation, it seeks to explore and give context to some of the best performances of Nic Cage, that also turned out to have second lives as classic memes on the internet.
