Answer: Sonny

'Sonny' received a Rotten Tomatoes rating of 23% and was not looked upon kindly by critics. Tellingly, Tommy Wiseau - the producer, director and main actor of the notoriously bad cult classic 'The Room' - was a huge fan of the movie, and James Franco, the lead actor, would later go on to play him in 'The Disaster Artist'. Cage himself appeared as Acid Yellow. The film also featured Brenda Blethyn, Mena Suvari and Harry Dean Stanton.

Answer: Voodoo Child

'Voodoo Child' was written by the British comics writer Carey, who has also worked on 'Batman', 'X-Men' and 'The Fantastic Four', and collaborated with writer Neil Gaiman. Dean Hyrapiet did the art, while Australian comic artist Ben Templesmith drew the premiere cover. It was set in New Orleans, in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, and features a storyline about missing girls and the son of a Unionist sympathiser being resurrected by a Voodoo priest. (All the other answers, incidentally, are associated with musicians in some way.

Answer: Midford Castle, a decorative castle

Midford Castle is a 'folly' or decorative castle - i.e. not a genuine castle - in Somerset. It resembles a club (as in the card suit). It has had various renovations done to it over the years, including the incorporation of the ruined chapel into the garden by the British writer Isobel Colegate and her husband Michael Briggs, who bought the castle in 1961. Cage purchased it for £5 million in 2007 but had to sell it in 2009 to pay off various debts. His other real estate purchases have included Schloss Neidstein, a Bavarian fortress; Grey Craig, a manor in Rhode Island; and an island in the Exuma archipelago in the Bahamas.

Answer: The Wicker Man

The original 'Wicker Man' was a cult horror classic, starring Edward Woodward as an innocent policeman who becomes a human sacrifice, and Christoper Lee as Lord Summerisle, the leader of a pagan cult. The 2006 version changed the setting to an island populated by women, with Lord Summerisle becoming Sister Summerisle (played by Ellen Burstyn). Both Cage's character, the policeman Edward Malus, and his ex-wife, Willow Woodward (Kate Beahan), were named as a homage to Edward Woodward. During the film's climax, Edward is tortured by having a cage of bees placed on his head, which leads to the infamous quote. The film received a 15% overall rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
