I think it's something like he was a Navy SEAL who disobeyed orders to kill orphans or maybe was forced to retire to be too badass, but still wanted to serve the seamen.

It's amazing because it's a progression of every lie he has told about his supposedly badass past in one character. The loving kids part ended up being true though. :barf:

On Deadly Ground (the one he directed) had his backstory being the other thing he constantly lied about, the whole "trained CIA agents to kill."

Lost his security clearance for reason unspecified, only ratings he could hold without one were as a yeoman or a cook. Which is not actually true, you do need one for yeoman and there are a bunch of other ratings that don't need one. But maybe "Casey Ryback, Dental Technician" wouldn't work as well on film.

drat HBOGO is the place to be for a Seagal-fest, they have like 5 of his movies. I'm watching Above the Law right now and man, he really does gently caress people up in this movie. The thing that pisses him off happens before the credits are even over(lol) and he's just pissed from that point on.

Star Trek: The Motion Picture is a boring movie
Ten years ago or so, I was at a grocery store and they had cases of his energy drink. They were 4 for a buck. I was getting supplies for a weekend at a cabin, so I figured, hey this is perfect! I bought an absurd amount of them. As soon as they were chilled, I cracked one open. They were so loving vile. You have no idea how gross they were. Never tasted anything like that in my life. I hate him forever because of that. gently caress you Steven Segal.

I just can't help but think of the tv news guy who did two (2) four loko originals as a puff piece and had to be hospitalized.

I know it was mostly the alcohol but the ER guys were acting like he'd been on a speedball binge, which I guess in a way he had been but sheesh.

Seagal had this thing where he never wanted to be seen looking like he was struggling in a 1on1 fight, didn't matter if it was some thug in the first 5 minutes of the movie or the big bad villain at the very end. Typically in his movies the villain never stands a chance against him in an actual physical confrontation.

Out For Justice is notorious for this. I had a friend clue me in that the bar brawl is entirely provoked by Seagal's character. He just waltzes in, starts smashing up the place and then starts assaulting patrons. That final fight makes me feel sorry for Forsythe's character, because he never even lays a punch on him, it's just non-stop getting dunked on by Seagal. Even with Forsythe's character is a psychopathic murderer, that fight makes him sympathetic in a Falling Down "he had a really bad day" way.

Then there's that scene in On Deadly Ground (or is it Fire Down Below?) where he gets into a slapfight with Mike Starr and cures him of his racism.

Holy poo poo. Not only do they use Classic (notfat) Segal, the damned faces on the bottom of the can Viggo the Carpathian you as you look between them.

So the mystery ingredient in those involves Gojiberry, which is like magic Kung Fu mangosteen or whatever. I remember because a local radio station was making fun of those horrible drinks and they couldn't get past how damned funny Gojiberry sounded.
Also I have his CD and the music isn't terrible so he should have quit and become a folk country performer.

We're all going to experience changes in our life but only the best of us will qualify for front row seats.

My peak Steven Seagal moment is the morgue scene from The Glimmer Man.

I'm on mobile right now and I can't check it, but this one might be it: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=EuhFdhS3NXc (NSFW cuz it has titties if it's actually the scene)

My favourite thing about Steven Seagal is that Run the Jewels' El-P loves him because he's a sack of poo poo human. The whole interview is about Steven Seagal and it's incredible.

http://www.avclub.com/article/run-jewels-brutality-music-and-magic-steven-seagal-212268

quote:

El-P: What you have to understand is that Steven Seagal isn’t about being a good action hero. He’s always about being a complete loving rear end in a top hat. That’s, like, his duty. The thing about Out For Justice—also the first Steven Seagal movie where he’s just clearly getting fat, which I love because he didn’t wear sleeves the entire time, so he just had flabby arms and kind of a pot belly? The most classic poo poo about that movie was—and I actually wrote a piece of fan fiction about this.

AVC: Really?

El-P: Yeah, I did. I wrote a piece of fan fiction from the perspective of Sticks, who if you remember, when he went into the bar...

AVC: The guy with the pool cues.

El-P: That’s right. And they were like, “Sticks!” I mean, the whole phenomenon of some Asian dude who’s a ninja who uses pool cues so much that they call him Sticks, that he’s just on call for any time there’s ever any beef, and this guy just waits around all day long and doesn’t do anything until someone comes in like Steven Seagal, and then they say “Sticks!” and he has to fight Steven Seagal. Of course, he doesn’t realize Steven Seagal is going to put a pool ball in a loving sock or a loving towel and mercilessly smash everybody’s teeth in. I just love Steven Seagal for his pure—his perspective on what being a hero is just a purely evil, cruel perspective.

KM: You know what I took from that scene? That I could really put a pool ball in a sock and beat the poo poo out of somebody with it.

El-P: Yup, yup. That’s an important lesson.

KM: That was the significance I got from it. Thank you, Steven Seagal.

I cannot tell you how many times I've watched that scene and I never saw him put a pool ball in that thing. He does it so quickly, it looks like he just folded a wet dish towel in a particular way that somehow makes it lethal. The ridiculous sound effects didn't help.
