18	->''The bad guy, cocky military pilot Creator/JohnTravolta (think [[Franchise/StarWars Han Solo]] crossed with [[Film/PulpFiction Vincent Vega]]), steals not one but two thermonuclear missiles; the good guy, heroic but untested Creator/ChristianSlater (think nobody in particular -- Slater's gun does his acting here), must outwit Han Vega and recover the missiles. The movie is infatuated with [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything potency games and one-upmanship.]] Who's got the missile? …Yost's scripts are skeletons onto which gifted directors (''{{Film/Speed}}''[='=]s Jan de Bont, and, in this case, the legendary Creator/JohnWoo) can graft meaty action sequences. But those hoping for witty dialogue, due to the presence of [[Creator/QuentinTarantino Tarantino]] alumni Travolta and Slater, are in for a dry evening. Yost can't get enough of lines like "We gotta get outta here!" and "We don't have time to discuss it!" (Quentin would have given them [[SeinfeldianConversation plenty of time.]])''

21	->''Obviously, this intro is far too cool for me to consider commenting on it. But I do wish I was in the room when the committee decided that the best way to rescue the president was to find two civilian punks. Did the secretary of defense stand up and say, "We can't spare the military personnel to rescue our president. So we'll just inspire a couple of street dudes to do it by questioning their badness. Easy."''

31	->"This is the one action series where, by design, you don't need to waste time and weigh down the narrative with a bunch of convoluted bullshit for why he's going somewhere, getting into fights and then killing a bad guy. He does it because it's his fucking ''job!'' It's not even a duty or a calling. He gets paid for this shit! He has a licence for it -- ''literally!''"

41	->''At that time, however, even the distributors were questioning whether gags were enough to sustain a whole film and they started asking for more story. Walt, the greatest of storytellers, reacted in a surprising way. "By the time you have a story really started," he said, "it is time to iris out (end the picture), and you have failed to make the audience laugh." Obviously, in Walt's mind, the first priority in any film was the laughter, and too much story quickly became tedious. He never forgot that point throughout his whole life, constantly shying away from projects that had more continuity than entertainment.''
