    • Trivia
      John Woo's earlier cut came in at the two hour mark, and featured more character development and more violence in the action scenes.
    • Goofs
      Military pilots aren't allowed to box due to the risk of head injury. Any loss of consciousness will DNIF (Duty Not Including Flying) a pilot and require a medical review. Especially the fact that Deakens and Hale are boxing without wearing protective headgear.
    • Quotes

      Giles Prentice: A Broken what?

      Secretary Baird: Broken Arrow. It's a Class 4 Strategic Theatre Emergency. It's what we call it when we lose a nuclear weapon.

      Giles Prentice: I don't know what's scarier, losing nuclear weapons, or that it happens so often there's actually a term for it.

    Under-Rated Action Flick

    "Broken Arrow" is a good action film about a Stealth pilot (John Travolta) who steals nuclear weapons one night during a practice mission. His goal is to sell the weapons back to the United States government by blackmailing them. Old partner Christian Slater is willing to stop Travolta at all costs with the help of ranger Samantha Mathis. Howie Long makes an impressive film debut as Travolta's evil henchman. The screenplay is smart enough to work and the direction is fast and furious. A film that is about as good as it can be. 4 stars out of 5.
