Which is the one where he wakes up from a two year coma and starts kicking rear end from the hospital bed he's being wheeled out on? Wiggle your big toe? gently caress that I'm going to kill you with my big toe!

Out For Justice > Hard To Kill > Marked For Death > Every other Segal movie It's crazy how good Out For Justice is, but I think that has more to do with Forsythe being one hell of a villain.

Man, no love for On Deadly Ground? That one's my favorite because it's the one where Segal stops an environmental disaster by causing a bigger environmental disaster while killing the poo poo out of mooks, R. Lee Ermey, John C. McGinley, and Michael Caine. You also get four solid minutes of Segal's version of An Inconvenient Truth. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mz2NeCowTwU

Remember the reality show that followed Steven Seagal as an actual* police officer? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steven_Seagal:_Lawman *His rank is pretty much just ceremonial

10 Beers posted:Hard to Kill. I love that scene. I'm still waiting for Out for Justice to catch on culturally like Kickboxer and Bloodsport did. It's got so much awesome bad stuff in it. Seagal is even wackier in real life than JCVD was. Edit: For a little while, Seagal played the absolutely perfect quiet bad rear end who completely wrecked people. Along with Vin Diesel in Knockaround Guys, he plays the "walks into a dangerous bar" the best. Violator fucked around with this message at 19:39 on May 11, 2016 |

Seagal's fighting style was very different for the time as well, and people responded to it. It wasn't fancy spin kicks(well, maybe a few here and there), it was quick decisive movements and more free flowing Aikido type stuff. I originaly compared him to Liam Neeson, which was obviously a poo poo comparison overall, but I think the fighting style is what made me think of it. Neeson uses a very similar style in Taken, I assume a major part of that was to cover for the fact that Neeson is like 60 years old and wouldn't be able to do a lot of typical action hero stuff.

The Aikido stuff is cool, but the way Seagal does stunts makes it look like he's afraid to be touched but will absolutely wallop the poo poo out of an extra. It makes him look like a complete rear end in a top hat and that's always stuck with me.

Didn't Seagal challenge JCVD to a fight at one of JCVD's parties, and then run away? I've never seen a Seagal movie, but that anecdote sticks with me.

It makes him look like a complete rear end in a top hat and that's always stuck with me. This story should make you smile, then. Years ago, the legendary "Judo" Gene LeBell worked on Out for Justice. Seagal was probably at the height of his fame (and conversely, his egomania). Seagal loudly claims he cannot be choked out. Bad move. quote:As it goes, in 1991, Gene LeBell was working as a stunt coordinator on Out for Justice. At some point Seagal announced that due to his Aikido training, he was immune to chokes. When then 58-year-old LeBell heard about the claim, he gave Seagal the opportunity to test it. LeBell set the choke up, Seagal said "Go" and Seagal promptly went. As the story goes, Seagal went to sleep and went #1 and #2 in his pants. Ever since, either because of a rumored legal gag order (see action figure for confirmation), or because in the stunt business what happens on the set stays on the set, LeBell has never confirmed the story. There 2 lessons here: 1. Don't gently caress with Gene LeBell. 2. The open mouth catches many feet. El Gallinero Gros fucked around with this message at 20:29 on May 11, 2016 |

He claims Lyoto Machida and Anderson Silva are both "students of his", but considering how different they are stylistically from Seagal's base style of Aikido, I can't buy that. He also claims he'd destroy Randy Couture. El Gallinero Gros fucked around with this message at 20:38 on May 11, 2016 |

The idea of someone speaking English understanding a loving word coming out of Steven Seagal's mouth is funny enough, much less Anderson Silva.

Mierenneuker posted:My favorite Steven Seagal movie is The Glimmer Man in which he grabs a scalpel and removes a dead woman's silicone implant despite not being a coroner (or doctor of any kind). He also determines the woman's nationality by her cheekbones. Does whoever wrote this film think Georgia is just a region of Russia and not a country with it's own culture and a language that's is totally unrelated to Russian?

When you go back and watch Segal movies, you realize that his characters are never challenged. Nobody is capable of holding a candle to him, because he sets up every fight scene so he never gets hit but obliterates everyone with one punch. You can watch his effort decline in every movie. No ring 0/10

The fight with Forsythe in Out For Justice is so viciously one-sided, it borders on the obscene. Then Segal stabs a corkscrew in the top of his head.

It was definitely a novel style of fighting in the movies and I love his early I'm-somewhat-in-shape pre heavy breathing movies. Sirotan posted:Funny way of spelling Executive Decision. I remember an apocryphal story that Russell and Seagal *hated* each other. Seagal was going to basically be the character Leguizamo played, but to keep Russell they had to re-write to kill off Seagal early on.

From what I heard, and this is somewhat apocryphal, that was basically it for Seagal's career in Hollywood as far as big productions were concerned. He already had a history of pissing people off, and it was the last straw. Obviously he still makes movies, but they're all short budgeted DTV flicks that only hardcore fans watch. I agree that having a star who uses Aikido is cool and novel though, it's really a shame he's such a tool.
