Fox once released a movie starring Howie Long in theaters?

That is the one movie where the "Wilhelm scream" is used well imo.

Leonard Maltin Movie Guide Review:

Firestorm (1998) - 1.5 out of 4 stars

"Wily con Forsythe and cohorts have pulled off a prison escape, incinerating a Canadian forest as their "cover." This makes the job of smoke jumpers (who parachute into difficult fires) all the more risky. By-the-numbers script is fashioned as an action vehicle for athlete Long, who suggests what Ed Harris might look like if he couldn't move his facial muscles."

That was one of my favorite movies when I was in middle school. 

BROKEN ARROW was certainly a good film, easily the best film Travolta ever appeared in. No sane person will ever deny that, of course. But while I like Howie in it, his character was clearly the least credibly motivated, in following a man who betrayed all his followers. He was too much like the idiots who work for Specter Blowhard, watching Blowhard kill all his own employees off and yet still working for him. Just never makes sense, although it looks like there are real people like that in the real world. 

Trouble is, those people are people you expect to be doped up and not athletes. So when Howie's character is still in control of his own body, doing stunts, being athletic, it doesn't fit in with someone trusting a man who you can't trust. Would Howie play Football for a coach who shot each of his own players in the head after the player made a tackle?

I remember seeing the trailer for that movie and thinking it looked badass. IIRC, it came out around the time of Hard Rain, which I also thought was badass. I never did end up watching the Howie Long movie, and when I saw Hard Rain years later, it...well, it didn't quite hold up.
