the story was he pretty much just Fights and kills everyone in the chinese mob for killing another friend or something.

But the fights, wow. Japanese style and Kung Fu, NICE!!!!! lots of hitting, blocking, good stuff. some throws. All good martial artists. tons of fight scenes too.

I was a big fan of Steven Seagall movies until I saw his last one, where it appeared he gained a ton of weight, and his skill level had noticibly deteriorated. Has he tightened up his act?

I liked Segal until I saw the one where he was in prison, with Ja Rule...

ummmmmm... no.

Gimmie "Out for Justice" or "Marked for Death" any day of the week.

Gimmie "Out for Justice" or "Marked for Death" any day of the week.

Ditto.

 

[theletch1]

Just give me a dvd with nothing but the fight scenes from his movies and cut out all of the stuff in between.

Yeah, that was pretty bad.

"Hard To Kill" was my first and is still my favorite Seagal movie.

 

[mcjon77]

I really liked "Above the Law" because that was the first time I had ever seen Anyone do the Akido/jujitsu like throws and locks/breaks in a martial arts movie. I remember watching it on video and being absolutely blown away! I kept thinking "I've gotta learn to do that!". But my favorite was probably "Under Siege". That final knife fight was great!

Seteven Seagal being sued for delaying production on "Today You Die" and "Mercenary":

From the latter story:

On the final day of shooting "Today You Die," it says, the actor left the set five hours early to attend a dinner he described as having "national security implications." As a result, the suit says, three scenes scheduled for that day could not be completed.

Must still be working for the CIA.

Hard to Kill was such a funny movie! The corny lines and cheesy acting devices were the best. Under seige was, IMO, his best. This doesn't say much, though, considering that it is, after all, Steven Seagal.

 

[arnisador]

I agree that Under Siege was the best of his yet. The more recent ones have been...not so good. I'd like to see more good work from him, but I fear he's getting too old and out of shape to do his own stunts, and that's what made him so interesting--even my wife commented that his fighting style seemed so very different from those in other martial arts films I'd watch.

I was disappointed when I learned that Chuck Norris eventually got a stunt double on Walker, Texas Ranger even though it makes sense. As he put it, if he gets injured the whole series could miss a few episodes, and of course he was getting older and suffering more from a lifetime of hard practice. (I didn't even watch the show, actually.) But, I wonder now about Steven Seagal the same way.

No.

He's still rather... portly. These days, you'll see him wearing a lot of loose-fitting clothes to conceal his weight, but that still doesn't cover up the double chin that's rather noticeable.

Roger Ebert's review of Half Past Dead discusses this in an amusing way:

The movie takes the form of a buddy movie, but is stopped in its tracks because its hero, played by Steven Seagal, doesn't have a buddy gene in his body. (I know, he takes seven bullets for his partner Nick, but I don't think he planned it: "I'll take seven bullets for Nick!") Seagal's great contribution to the movie is to look very serious, even menacing, in closeups carefully framed to hide his double chin. I do not object to the fact that he's put on weight. Look who's talking. I object to the fact that he thinks he can conceal it from us with knee-length coats and tricky camera angles. I would rather see a movie about a pudgy karate fighter than a movie about a guy you never get a good look at.

Ya, watching him do his aikido moves in his movies is really cool to watch, also the video found here is fun to watch. After Under Siege 2 I kinda lost flavor for his movies. He was unique I agree in introducing a "soft-art" to martial movies and showing how effective they can be.
His personal life however still had a lot to be desired.

The thought ot a William Shatner/Steven Segal "buddy cop" movie just came to my mind...
