broken arrow Release Year: 1996 Rating: R Duration: 108 minutes Director: John Woo Producer: Bill Badalato, Terence Chang, Mark Gordon Broken Arrow dvd/videos... synopsis "Broken arrow" is a military term for a nuclear warhead that has been stolen -- and villainous Air Force pilot Vic Deakins (John Travolta) has done just that. In fact, he's pilfered TWO bombs, in an effort to extract a huge amount of cash from the government in exchange for their safe return. However, there's a fly in the ambitious thief's ointment: Riley Hale (Christian Slater), Vic's former co-pilot, whom Vic thought he had killed when he robbed the bombs. Helping Riley is gutsy female Park Ranger Terry Carmichael (Samantha Mathis). Together the duo uses all the artillery, ammo, vehicles, and gumption they can muster, as they risk life and limb to thwart Vic and his vile gang. Hong Kong action specialist John Woo propels the film through trains, Humvees, exploding helicopters and more. cast John Travolta as Maj. Vic Deakins quote [on whether to disclose the loss of a stealth bomber] Giles Prentice: Wait. We're making a mistake. Secretary Baird: Giles? You have something you wish to share with us? Giles Prentice: Yes. Aviation Week has been following the development of the B3 for years. They have "stringers" - guys camping out in lawn chairs all night by the Whiteman perimeter fence, watching just in case one of these things take off. There gonna know that one took off last night, and they're gonna know that it didn't come back. Now, we put out a press-release saying a C141 went down in Utah, they're going to put two and two together, Aviation Week is going to run a story, everyone's gonna know what really happened, and we're all going to look extremely stupid. We're better of telling the truth. Secretary Baird: The truth?

Broken Arrow Reviews (5 reviews) Source : rec.art.movies.reviews newsgroup Rating : 4 When Hong Kong action director John Woo made his first American movie, the Jean-Claude Van Damme vehicle Hard Target, he had to recut and re-submit it to the ratings board 17 times in order to secure an R rating. Woo was probably surprised and baffled by the whole process, since Hard Target was downright languid by HK standards. But in the U.S., Woo's original cut looked radically violent, albeit strangely poetic. Even re-edited for Hollywood-style clarity and shorn of 20 minutes of footage, the released version of Hard Target is a severely flawed but oddly compelling piece of work. more Broken Arrow reviews ...
