That was obvious (especially for a film that was shot in 1992). It was probably one of the first American movies to have ripped off John Woo's gunfights. At this time he was only known in the west among hard-core film buffs, critics and filmmakers who were buying his movies notably on import laserdiscs...
Van Damme was probably the first to borrow the Woo-feel when he shoots up the drug factory in DOUBLE IMPACT.
But the shootout in ARMY OF ONE is easily the best John Woo shootout not actually filmed by Woo. My jaw still drops during much of that sequence.
