Goofs:
Miscellaneous: The load weight of a B83 Thermonuclear bomb is 2408lb. Even with the outer "skin" removed, they'd be far too heavy for Slater's and Mathis' character to move.

Quotes:
Vic Deakins:
I just realized something. I never actually killed anyone before. I mean, I dropped bombs on Baghdad, but, uh... never face to face.
[pause]
Vic Deakins: I don't know what the big deal is. I really don't.

In his "TV Movies and Video Guide," Leonard Maltin asks, "Why was this movie made?" The answer is simple: To entertain the people. I was certainly entertained by this far-fetched action thriller, due in no small part to John Woo's imaginative direction of the action sequences. John Travolta overdoes the psycho routine, hamming it up when some restraint would have made for a more believable performance, but his considerable charm sees him through. Christian Slater, an actor who hasn't impressed me as anything more than a Jack Nicholson wannabe, makes a surprisingly commendable hero. This movie is junk food, of course, but it's very tasty indeed.
