      Talk about some of the piercing shots of "Operation Broken Arrow"

      In reality, "broken arrow" does not refer to the theft and loss of nuclear weapons, but to the accidental detonation or abandonment of warheads. The real code name for the theft and loss of nuclear weapons is "Empty Quiver".

       Hill shot the pilot with a pistol through the cockpit glass of the helicopter, which did not shatter when the plane crashed.

      I look normal

      If you look at it today, of course, this film will be nothing. At the time, many places looked good. At least in terms of stunts, the scene where the plane crashed at the beginning was very good. The various explosion scenes that followed were also well shot. This is what impressed me the most about this film.
        The plot is relatively simple, but the key is that the rhythm of the shooting is really controlled. Played from start to finish, without breathing in between. It was originally a...

      One will succeed

      The films I saw casually on cctv-6 looked like blockbusters, and I just watched them because I was bored. I didn't expect that in the end I didn't have the patience to watch it -- I really can't stand that bad director.
          I didn't expect that the director was actually John Woo -- in fact, it should be John Woo. It is only a Chinese director who can film this kind of heroism of "one will succeed and ten thousand bones will die" to a disgusting level.
          As far as I watched the...

      Style disappeared

      It seems that few foreign directors can still produce works with the same style in the United States. Of course, it is still doubtful whether a movie in Hollywood can be regarded as a "work".
      As a violent film master on par with Kitano Tarantino, Wu Yusen has his own unique style, such as male power, or the friendship between two men, or the passion of the protagonist, but in this movie, For the American heroic beauty. (Although the beauty is not bad by herself)
      Another example is the...

      Just watched the broken arrow of CCTV6

      The well-known film is also known to be director Wu's famous Hollywood work, but I have never seen it. I borrowed CCTV6 to play and read an article.

      The protagonist is the one who has changed his face, and he is also the villain.
      It feels that the plot is a bit too prominent for the other pilot and the policewoman. The helicopter exploded before and after 3, one was done by them, and the other two were done by the enemy, but they just completed the task that the superior...

      The angle of shooting style and the music during the fight are super. John Woo even yinxiao expresses the whole article: I am the protagonist and I can't die! I'm the protagonist Ma Zi, I can't die! Maybe it's just a coincidence. You don't understand me. I don't blame you. You're just too...

      At the beginning, the stealth fighter was $2 billion, and the nuclear bomb was only $250 million, so it would be better to steal the stealth fighter and sell...

      It was a very good popcorn movie ten years ago, but watching it now, hehe, is the nuclear bomb so casually taken out for exercise, so easy to cut the password cable to start without password, is it not a thermonuclear bomb, is it afraid of heat, why? What if it didn't detonate on a train full of exploding gasoline barrels? There are too many hard injuries now, and it is incomparable with the many rigorous explanations in the fall of the White...

      nice! crackling-bang! Very happy. I can't stand the expression of the male protagonist. From beginning to end, he seems to have picked up money, squinting with a bear-eyed smile. Explosion is really the feeling of the 90s. In Director Wu's films, there seems to be nothing that can't be exploded. The shot must be shot without aiming, and the bullet never costs money. Travolta's little eyes are really bad. All in all, it's a good...

    Movie plot

    Captain Dix ( John Travolta ) is a very good pilot in the US Air Force. He is brave and good at fighting. He has won many awards, but he has never been promoted. His friend Lieutenant Hill ( Christian Michael Leonard Hawkins ) is his deputy, but in the ring, Hill loses every bet to Dix. During a flight mission, Dix planned to hijack two nuclear missiles on a stealth fighter. He shot Hill out of the cabin, dropped a nuclear bomb, and...

    Evaluation action

    The selection of the film is unique, and the sentiment of the missing nuclear bomb has aroused the interest of many people. Although the storyline of the film is fictitious, this military method has actually happened, which adds to the interest of the film. "Broken Arrow" still follows the path of a thrilling gunfight action movie, which is exactly the strength of John Woo. In the film, the audience can still feel the style of John...

      [the B-3 flies over her extremely low]

      Terry: Holy shit.

    • Vic Deakins: Well, I do appreciate the money that you and your associates have invested in the operation. But this IS an operation, it's a MILITARY operation. And YOU don't know DICK about that! Now *I* have been in the military for over 20 years. I planned and flew over 100 missions in the Gulf. I put these boys together because they are *motivated* and they are *highly trained* like me! This is what I do, Mr. Pritchett! And this is BATTLE! And battle is a highly *fluid* situation. You - You plan on your contingencies, and I have. You keep your initiative, and I will. But what you don't do is *share command*! It's NEVER a good IDEA!

      Pritchett: It's still my money.

      Vic Deakins: And if we succeed, you and your friends will get a ton of it.

      Pritchett: *If* we're successful?

      Vic Deakins: Look, Mr. Pritchett, I will deliver the weapons to the destination. But I can't depend and I can't guarantee that those assholes in Washington won't do something stupid like... not pay.

      Pritchett: What if they don't?

      Vic Deakins: Well, if they don't, the southwest will be a quiet neighbourhood for, uh, about ten thousand years.

    • Vic Deakins: [after the explosion] I say god-damn what a rush.
