“Travolta just chops him in the neck!” - Steve on Bob Gunton’s character’s demise
On this week’s Summer Live episode, we’re releasing our Broken Arrow show from earlier this year, recorded in our favorite room to play on tour, the world-famous Hollywood Improv!
We were there playing to a packed house to chat about this near-forgotten John Travolta/Christian Slater action film that contains more than its fair share of character actors! Is it sad that audiences probably remember this movie better than they remember another, superior, John Woo-in-America entry, Hard Target? How hilarious is the moment when that old timer gets taken out by the terrorists at his camp site? No shade to stuff like Pet Sematary: Bloodlines, but can we get Samantha Mathis in bigger movies like this again? Is there a better actor to play a cinematic weasel than Bob Gunton? And would this film have been better if Christian Slater’s character was in possession of a magic talisman? PLUS: Nickelodeon’s Guts but it’s also a Giallo film!
Broken Arrow stars John Travolta, Christian Slater, Samantha Mathis, Bob Gunton, Frank Whaley, Howie Long, Vondie Curtis-Hall, and Delroy Lindo as Colonel Max Wilkins; directed by John Woo.
