This in 1996 and "Face Off" the following year...John Woo was on fire in the 90's!

[Fernando_]

This movie doesn’t get as much love as it should. Cast was top notch and how Travolta took drags from his cigs always cracked me up

[mlstr]

Oh man, one of the best 90s actioners. Pure manly made stuff.

[kfw]

Damn does Travolta chew the scenery in every one of his scenes in this. So much fun to watch.

[aaronflaten]

The way Hale drops the crowbar because he wants to fight Deak with his bare hands is so awesome

[othnaspliff]

I love the way Travolta is so confident. And how he say “maybe but I’m still gonna kick your ass” such a badass

[scottgrant-cpoh]

Great film
Travolta at his hammy best. Brilliant

[crimsintigerx]

"Your brain presses against your skull, and it feels like THIS."

[delrey]

I watched this movie many times on VHS when I was a kid.

[jessebrown]

I love Travolta's Beretta 93, one of the only cameos on film. I think i like it even more than the MP7

[marvinrodriguez]

3:47 LOL reminds me of what happen to Green Goblin

Sad because kids these days would never see this bad assery. They couldn’t sit through the first 15 minutes to get to the action! 90’s movies are the best movies.

Broken Arrow (1996) - A Heart-Pounding Thrill Ride

Director John Woo's "Broken Arrow" explodes onto the screen with a relentless intensity that grabs you by the collar and doesn't let go until the final frame. Released in 1996, this action-packed thrill ride boasts a killer combination of breathtaking stunts, charismatic performances, and Woo's signature cinematic style, making it a standout in the adrenaline-fueled world of '90s action cinema.

The film follows the story of Captain Riley Hale (Christian Slater) and Major Vic Deakins (John Travolta), two Air Force pilots on a routine training mission that takes a treacherous turn. When Deakins, driven by a sinister agenda, betrays Hale and attempts to steal two nuclear warheads, the stage is set for a high-octane game of cat and mouse that spans the rugged landscapes of the American Southwest.

What sets "Broken Arrow" apart from other action films of its time is John Woo's masterful direction. Known for his balletic and highly stylized action sequences, Woo delivers in spades. The film is a symphony of explosions, gunfights, and death-defying stunts that keep you on the edge of your seat. From helicopter chases to hand-to-hand combat, Woo infuses every frame with his unique brand of kinetic energy.

John Travolta's portrayal of the charming yet menacing Deakins is a highlight of the film. Travolta's charismatic presence adds layers to the character, making him a formidable antagonist. Christian Slater, as the betrayed hero, brings the right mix of vulnerability and determination to his role, creating a dynamic on-screen duo that elevates the emotional stakes of the film.

The screenplay by Graham Yost strikes a balance between intense action and moments of genuine suspense. The dialogue crackles with wit and tension, keeping the audience engaged between the explosive set pieces. The film's pacing is relentless, never allowing the audience a moment to catch their breath as the characters hurtle from one life-threatening situation to the next.

The supporting cast, including Samantha Mathis and Delroy Lindo, adds depth to the narrative, contributing to the overall richness of the film. Hans Zimmer's pulse-pounding score complements the on-screen chaos, enhancing the overall viewing experience.

"Broken Arrow" is a cinematic rollercoaster that doesn't rely solely on explosions and gunfights to captivate its audience. It's a well-crafted combination of adrenaline-pumping action, compelling characters, and stylish direction. If you're a fan of '90s action films or just looking for a movie that delivers non-stop thrills, "Broken Arrow" is a must-watch. It stands the test of time as a classic in the action genre, leaving an indelible mark on the landscape of blockbuster cinema. Strap in and prepare for a white-knuckle ride that you won't soon forget.

0:01 One of the unspoken rules of action movies: always announce your presence before striking your enemy

[deathtoraiden]

I haven't watched this movie since the 90s so i forgot a lot of it.
Christian Slater barely being able to lift his leg off the ground at 2:53 and them dubbing in a lion roar to try and sell it is gonna make me cough up blood 🤣🤣🤣
Imagine coming fresh out of Hong Kong cinema, saying "ok you kick him now" to your American action movie star and then watching him be literally me.

[KHN.RVA.]

Oh man...mid 90s action movies were just different lmao
