Last Seagal movie you watched?

[derekwyo]

Rewatched the very first Seagal film I ever saw today, coincidentally on its 30th anniversary, Under Siege 2: Dark Territory. I enjoy this one a lot. I have fond memories of watching it on HBO as a kid seeing him take on terrorists, whoop some ass, and look cool doing it. It'd also be one of the very first Blu-rays I ever bought when I adopted the format back in '09. This film kicked off my love of the Action genre. I also owe a lot to Van Damme's Sudden Death as I watched both of these on TV countless times and it led me to seek out their other films, and the rest is history.

I like it even more than US1, and the score by Basil Poledouris (that also scored On Deadly Ground) is awesome!

Rewatched 2006's Shadow Man on DVD today. It'd actually been some time since I saw this one, and I actually liked it much more than I remembered this time around. For DTV-era stuff, the airport car chase was well done, and I love the fight with the Romanian drug dealers (That's syphilis!) All in all, a decent effort. My only nag was the helicopter shootout. I don't like how painfully clear it is that it's not Seagal (aside the one close up of him shooting), the film would have been fine without it. Otherwise, decent effort IMO.

The syphilis line is so funny, the infected guy with the mask so disgusting...You have a videoclub store in your own house!!!

I laughed when he said that and then proceeded to whoop on him some more. Poor dude! haha
I call it my "video store", I've been collecting for over 25 years now and I finally got to displaying it all. It's still a tad overwhelming for me!

Today I rewatched 2009's Driven to Kill (aka Ruslan) as I just got the limited edition Mediabook Blu-ray the other day. This is one of my favorites of his post-Exit Wounds/DTV-era films. I loved that Seagal was clearly very, very motivated to make. Dawning the tattoos, the gold chains, gravelly, gruff and a tad mean. I really liked seeing him as a semi-reformed Russian gangster who has to dig into his old bag of tricks and go on a path of revenge. And I truly love the fights; they were solid. Especially the end fight, it felt like he was back in his glory days. All in all, Driven to Kill is one of personal favorite Seagal efforts, DTV-era or otherwise.
I also have the knife he and Ken Onion designed, that he also used in the strip club fight scene.

Hey fellas, good to see you're all still alive and kicking. I had a sudden work related call and will hardly be around until the 26th. Also, I'm pleased to announce that my DVD of Steven Seagal: Lawman Season 1 arrived. Includes bonus footage!

 

[JohnAlexander]

You guys were right. I rewatched Exit Wounds and Belly of the Beast today, and I can see what you guys were saying. I thought the production values of Exit Wounds were really good, even if it wasn't the most Seagal-ish movie. But the action scenes were great, the cast was really good, and it had a lot of funny moments in it. Also, that plot twist towards the end really got me. Belly of the Beast was also really good. The gun fights were really awesome, and you could tell Seagal was in his element traveling around Thailand in his Asian suit. I also enjoyed the paranormal element of the movie, thought I do think they could have maybe shown that a little earlier in the film, and made it a tiny bit more prevalent. In any case, I really enjoyed both movies, and will be rewatching them in the future.

No, sadly, I had to pay $100 or so for the knife back in 2008 or 2009, but I always thought it was cool that he then used the knife he designed in Ruslan. It's got his signature on the other side of the blade in Japanese.

It's a nice show! I need to track down the 2nd Season one of these days, we never got a disc release here in the states of that one for some reason. I pre-ordered a cool A&E exclusive set of S1 on DVD way back, and it came housed in a bullet proof vest replica. I'll have to show you a picture of it.

Appreciate the update! Let us know when you're back. We have to keep this forum alive and active.

I grew to like Exit Wounds more and more as the years went by and it's one I embrace now. The production values were solid, Seagal was in his element, and there's lots of moments of levity that make it rewatchable. I like when Seagal dabbles in humor, he's actually pretty good at it and doesn't get the credit.
Belly of the Beast is a good effort and like Exit Wounds, it's not so much a signature Seagal work and that's OK. It gives him a bit of legs so he can be out of his element a bit. The production values were very good too so it's easy to rewatch. And I agree, it would have been nice to have the supernatural sub-plot presented a bit earlier and have a more impending feel to it, maybe have it mess with him more early on and present itself as a real threat. Perhaps they filmed more around but dialed it back in the final cut? That happens a lot.

Today I went back to one of my favorite Seagal films and one of the earliest I bought on VHS when I was a kid: 1991's Out for Justice. This is a fun film that moves very quickly. Seagal oozes bravado and machoism, he's the alpha in every room and he's just plain cool kicking ass and tossing people around. Now, we know this film was heavily edited like most of Seagal's films, and some of the scenes are in the trailers and TV airings, so we know they are out there, what the heck are you waiting on, WB? Give us a deluxe disc full of features, please!

Anytime I'm watching a film with friends and a bar fight happens, I never fail to bring up how it pails in comparison to Out for Justice's. Of course, they always scoff at it cause they think Seagal is a joke, but I I'll always stand my ground.

The lack of extras in Seagal's WB dvd-bluray releases is the most disappointing experience ever, I don't get it.

Every action movie nowadays pails in comparison to any of Seagal's fights!!

 

[derekwyo]

And I never understood why WB never put much into these movies because they sell very well, the director says the royalty checks he gets to this day from home video sales/rentals/streaming are quite good. Clearly, they are fan favorites and people buy them, and they just decided to skip over anything special. It's disappointing.

I love when people say they like good fights in movies or praise say a Matt Damon or Liam Neeson fight scene, so you mention some the great ones from Seagal, and they laugh. Seriously? You laugh at the guy who designs, performs, and choreographs scenes as a joke, but have praise and respect for the guys who have to be coached and choreographed and carried? Been there tons of times.
And that's not to say Liam Neesons or Matt Damons or Hollywood stars aren't belted or in shape, because they are and can be, just observing the backwards responses and attitudes of it all...
