De Niros movie was made in 2000-much later than the one that Seagal was looking at-anyways I found this article
Steven Seagal v. Saudi Prince
Filed: October 20, 1997
Los Angeles County Superior Court
The Case: You'd think Prince Abdulilah bin Abdul Azia al Saud would think twice before crossing screen ass-kicker Steven Seagal. After all, as any fan of Mr. Hard to Kill can tell you: You tick off Stevie, you in for a world of hurt.
Still, according to a lawsuit filed by the action hero-cum-aspiring blues singer, the prince (a half brother to the very rich King Fahd) reneged on a deal to bankroll a Seagal flick called Man of Honor.
But instead of flying to Saudi Arabia to kick some royal butt (maybe Seagal's a changed man since being named a reincarnated lama), Seagal and his Seagal/Nasso Productions are taking the prince to court. He has filed a $25 million lawsuit claiming breach of contract, intentional misrepresentation and negligent misrepresentation.
Backstory: According to Seagal's legal team, the prince and the movie star met in 1992, with the royal agreeing to finance Man of Honor for $30 mil in exchange for international distribution rights.
That promise was enough to get the 47-year-old, squinty-eyed, ponytailed Aikido master (and, as of last June, a sacred vessel of Tibetan Buddhism) working in earnest on the project. However, after only sending $1.65 million, the prince pulled the plug, the suit says.
Seagal claims he spent his own money developing the aborted feature and that the prince offered no reason for killing the deal.
Status: The prince was served with a writ on November 25 but has not yet responded.

Yeah I don't see Seagal in that role-which certainly could've been better for Kevin Costner..I think they're trying to copy Mad Max

Man Of Honor(Seagal's) was a mafia flick that was being made with the Twentieth Century Fox studio until it was pulled right after it started filming. Warner Bros jumped in and signed Seagal to do On Deadly Ground and agreed to let him make his directional debut. I think had he made Man Of Honor, it would have been one of his better films and I was so dissappointed when the film was pulled..Seagal had to end up paying out of his own pocket when funding fell through..This Saudi Prince was a major funder of this movie and when he pulled out his money Twentieth Century Fox halted the filming and pulled the movie..

To tell you the truth, I have never heard of Maiden before until i saw them on this site..Thats "Iron Maiden" what Glimmerman always talks about right? A lot of celebrities come and go over here all the time especially with "Atlantis" -the casino and golf resort here on Paradise Island. I've heard that Seagal and Nicolas Cage were here in The Bahamas a few months back. I know that Seagal was here years ago around the time when Above the Law came out. He was walking around in a busy shopping district. I missed him then.

Looks like a holdover from the 70's and 80's metal bands..I've on ly heard of them through Glimmerman talking about them but I'm gonna give them a listen. Where did you hear that they were here. I can listen to good metal music but I dont think that metal has that much of a following over here by most of the population and if they were here not many people would have recognized them or knew who they were. Its nice weather over here for the most part unless a hurricane decides to come our way but we have the best beaches in the world here in The Bahamas and The Atlantis Resort on Paradise Island is very similar to the big entertainment hotels on the Vegas strip in Las Vegas. It does bring in a lot of celebrities and high rollers and its only 30 minutes from Florida in a jet.

i think it was for the 7th son of the 7th son album.
And they were 80ies British New Wave Metal, and they're actually getting better unlike Kiss and Styx and etc.
They're big in brazil.

I used to like AC/DC at one time and I heard that they put together their Back In Black album over here back in 79/80. Hell's Bells is still one of my favourite DC songs..
