Flight of Fury

Steven Seagal has said that this is his favourite movie since Under Siege. In an interview with Sight & Sound magazine he said "my character's arc was the most satisfying journey I've taken as a full-bodied action hero in some time. Where I've traditionally played guys who slap other guys about a bit and then throw them through some furniture, or slap some guys and shoot others, or shoot them and throw them through furniture, or even slap, shoot _and_ throw them through furniture, in this movie I slap some guys, shoot some guys, throw some through furniture...but then I _also_ get in a plane and drop bombs on others. So really that's a lot of range, and something new I can challenge myself with as a distraction to the frustration of my pants feeling tighter."

An F-18 and an F-14 are seen taking off from the aircraft carrier on the bombing mission, but all aircraft footage after this shows a flight of F-16s.
