Trivia:

Except for Seagal's character having a shady CIA-type past, Flight of Fury is an almost scene-by-scene remake of the 1988 Michael Dudikoff vehicle Black Thunder (1998/II). Despite this, the writer of "Black Thunder," William C. Martell, received no official credit for the screenplay, only a "thanks" buried in the end credits of "Flight of Fury." Steven Seagal and his writing partner 'Joe Halpin' received full credit for the screenplay.

Goofs:

Continuity: Aircraft are shown dropping one type of bomb or missile, but impact footage is of a completely different weapon.

bad vs good . good wins. nobody cares.

As Steven Segal movies go this one is bottom of the barrel. His best was just fodder for bored teenagers. This one tips the scales, then falls off. The characters are all cardboard. The story is double lame. I can't spoil it by telling you the ending. You already know how all Steven Segal movies end if you have seen one. Here goes. He is a super-dooper government agent who know too much to turn loose so they decide, instead of killing him, to dope his brain until he don't remember squat. He escapes, of course, gets arrested and is located by his old general who needs his one man in a million experience to get back a stealth plane that has been handed over to a terrorist gang in Afghanastan by a rogue Air Force pilot who, surprise, surprise, Segal trained. All the heroes, except Segal's character and his dusky girlfriend, die heroically and Steve-Baby save the whole world in one swell foop, or fell swoop. Whatever. Made with some surplus Air Force and Navy flying film. And a lot of boom-booms. Get some Popeye cartoons instead.
