AML: The Master Of The Podcast Rope-A-Dope
About this episode
The hosts discuss John Woo's film Broken Arrow and its connections to Face/Off and screenwriter Graham Yost.
Gary, Terry, and Graham are back with another edition of Action Movie Landfill . This time, Gary has dragged out John Woo’s 1996 nuclear heist thriller, Broken Arrow . Woo arrived in Hollywood with a reputation for high-octane Hong Kong action movies, and just a year later he’d cement his legacy with the classic Face/Off , once again teaming up with John Travolta. But how much does Broken Arrow serve as a warm-up for Face/Off — or is the stronger link to screenwriter Graham Yost, the man who wrote the script for Speed ? For just over an hour, the gang rummage through desert chases, pantomime villainy, Hans Zimmer guitar riffs, and the question of whether this film belongs in the landfill.
