techno thrillers such as “Enemy of the State” featuring Will Smith, memorable sequels like “Terminator 2: Judgement Day,” and some of the finest alien invasion films ever created. Yet the ’90s also introduced us to cheesy action favorites that we can’t resist adoring, including “Con Air,” “Last Action Hero,” and the frantic John Woo-directed “Face/Off,” with Nicolas Cage and John Travolta.
Prior to “Face/Off,” Hollywood icon John Travolta collaborated with John Woo on another kitschy ’90s action movie that might have escaped your notice: “Broken Arrow.” Released in 1996, this film is one of Woo’s uncommon English-language projects, but is likely best remembered — for better or for worse — due to Travolta’s over-the-top portrayal as the film’s deranged, wise-cracking antagonist, Major Vic Deakins. If you’re a fan of extravagant ’90s action flicks and haven’t seen “Broken Arrow” yet — or are simply craving a hit of nostalgia — you’re in for a treat, as the film is currently available to stream on Prime Video.
