Steven Seagal

#1 Post by Mr Sausage »

Technically not a review, but this piece of 'trivia' from the IMDB entry for one of Steven Seagal's DTV shitfests (Flight of Fury) made me chuckle:
Steven Seagal has said that this is his favourite movie since Under Siege. In an interview with Sight & Sound magazine he said "my character's arc was the most satisfying journey I've taken as a full-bodied action hero in some time. Where I've traditionally played guys who slap other guys about a bit and then throw them through some furniture, or slap some guys and shoot others, or shoot them and throw them through furniture, or even slap, shoot _and_ throw them through furniture, in this movie I slap some guys, shoot some guys, throw some through furniture...but then I _also_ get in a plane and drop bombs on others. So really that's a lot of range, and something new I can challenge myself with as a distraction to the frustration of my pants feeling tighter."

Wow, it starts harder than any movie Seagal has ever been in.

If you prefer a soothing long-form contemplation of the Seagal-Lebell incident, Bobby Fingers made a diorama.

The most memeable Steven Seagal moment of recent years has been his attempt to get down with an ethnic Chechen dancer. He's got the moves, though what those moves are is up for debate!

I see you haven't seen him demonstrate his fighting skills. Can someone tell me what his fighting style is? I would love to learn more about it.

I should also mention that his acting has improved tenfold, as demonstrated in this scene.
