Definitely not the most memorable action movie of the 90’s plot wise. The musical score is so good that they used it in Scream 2 though. Action wise the movie is fun too. Travolta and Christian Slater are quite good here as well.
It might have been more fun though if they were partners throughout and not adversaries. Since they actually have good chemistry. Or at least more screen time as partners before Travolta showed his true colors to Slater.
Christian Slater and Samatha Mathis are good together until it feels like they want to kill all the bad guys, to go have sex somewhere. Especially when they start saying sexual things to each other in between killing bad guys.
Fun fact: This is probably one of the only movies critic Gene Siskel gave thumbs up, to change his mind to thumbs down. Due to Roger Ebert changing his mind.
A typical John Woo film: over the top acting, plot, action and explosions. Enjoyable but hardly great. Switch off brain, ignore the plot holes and watch.
Decent action movie but some plot points are puzzling. There was also a lot of potential for some cool twists by our villain, Travolta. However, what we got is not enough to really be surprising.
This is a fun movie....but not deserving of that dope ass score.
It as my first English movie! :')
Love this flick, older but good.
This movie summary: Hey $20 is $20.
Murders a man. "Hush, hush."
Gotta be Travolta levels of a little bit bonkers to deliver a line like that.
Quite a silly movie, but still an enjoyable sitting.
"Would you mind not shooting at the thermonuclear weapons?"
I was surprised by the amount of people on here that like this movie. For some reason I just didn't vibe with this one as much as Face/Off, but maybe it is because I watched this 25 years too late. Slater looks good in this though!

"You know, these exercises are fantastic. When the day comes that we have to go to war against Utah, we're really gonna kick ass, y'know?"
The best part of Broken Arrow is by far the death of John Travolta at the end. So lovely over the top!
Anyway Broken Arrow is a fun action movie about stolen B83 nuclear bombs. They are stolen by John Travolta and his buddy Christian Slater is the one fighting back alongside his partner in crime Samantha Mathis.
We get car chases, action in a mineshaft, a underground nuclear explosion, shoot-out, NO doves :(, a over the top bad guy Travolta and loads, loads of explosions.
Broken Arrow is a fun film but certainly not John Woo's best American work but it is a solid one and you can't go wrong with it!
