GREAT movie!! The scence where Steve gets jumped by the town sheriff and 4 cops is A CLASSIC--one of my all-time favorites. His speech--while holding a gun to the mouth of one cop--is INCREDIBLE. No one ever did such a cool scene, and Steve-O's got dozens of this kind in his movies.

"Fire Down Below is fantastic!!!The scenes are great.I don't understand why it was listen as one of the worst movies of that year. "
Well, my friend Tora..... all because it's about nature involved they say bad things, they say that On Deadly Ground stinks, I think it's a great movie.... I don't believe what others say..until I watch... That's the way it is....

Fire Down Below would have to be one of my favourite Seagal movies. The Scenery, the music and the characters were all great.
I have to say that "Fire Down Below" would be in my opinion one of Seagal's lesser films. Plot wise there is not much wrong with the film; An enviromental protection agent is sent to Jackson Kentucky to investigate illegal dumping of toxic waste whilst similtaneously trying to discover how a close collegue was murdered there. What does hurt the film is the surprisingly poor action scenes. They are edited in such a way that your hardly ever see Seagal start and finish a move in one shot. Another technique used is fractured editing where upon a few frames of action are removed in the middle of a martial arts manouver in order for Seagal to appear faster than he really is. The most annoying technique is the speeding up of the film (this is particularly evident in the mine scene and the pool hall brawl) which makes it look like an old 1920's slapstick comedy. The fact that Seagal was starting to get a little bulky combined with the fact that this was the director's first film venture (he was more of a tv director mainly episodes of ER) probably explains this weird editing/directing.
On the plus side Seagal gives a good enough performance and the romance with Marg Hengleberg is good natured and a new element to his usual fare. Plus there is an excellent chase sequence involving Seagal in a pick-up truck being pursued by a massive tanker.
Overall summary ** out of ***** (watchable).

Fire Down Below
I was watching this Steven Seagal movie last night on TBS. This movie cracks me up cause i love to see Steven kick ass like he always does. The woman who was his girlfriend in the movie who plays on CSI tv show is hot. I don't know why people always try to start a fight with Steven in these movies cause he ends up kicking their ass time & time again LOL. Kris Kristofferson's son was a wuss. I like the part when Steven slaps him around with those boxing gloves near the end when he beats up all them dudes in the bar. Who was that sexy woman that Kris had workin for him as a secretary? She was hot. I also like the part when those cops try to arrest Steven & he takes the gun from that one cop & puts the gun in his mouth & he says to the head sheriff, how do u want it LOL.

I Belong To Steven
I love that film, he's just great...I was impressed by his fighting, and his sweet side too, actually was a little romantic...He's always so much more charming than any of the other men in his movies, and he's always so much taller and bigger, he just commands the attention in a crowd...And I loved the truck chase scene especially for some reason, it was very exciting for me...Steven has a habit of slapping it seems, but there wouldn't be anyone that would get one on him, he's so quick...That scene with the cops is my favorite, he's so tough, and means business...And what he says made me blush but it was kinda sexy the way he takes charge of all of them...The way he kicks is amazing, it makes my pulse race...mmmm, what a man...That is my favorite Seagal movie next to exit wounds...

A Good Film!
This is another good Seagal movie. Not the best but good. The plot was average it could have been better. The action scenes once again blew me away. I used to love this Seagal movie now I just like it alot. Once again I like the message he represents. A good film!
My rating: 4 out of 5 stars.

FU&D! Original Review - Fire Down Below - 2/4 guns
Steven Seagal stars as an EPA Agent Jack Taggert in the outback of Middle America in his latest movie. Everything, from the 2.35:1 framing to the guest musicians, tries to set this movie up as a large-scale production - something it sadly is not.
The storyline is alright, if you buy into Seagal's whole pro-environment deal. There are some good fight scenes, but, unfortunately, I have say that quite a few of them seem "fast-forwarded". That's right, speeded up to insure that the Great One looks as fast as he did ten years ago, which is really not necessary.
It ends up looking faked and contrived and I now have a harder time than ever of convincing my Seagal-doubting friends that he is, truly, a great master. The one thing that this movie establishes, is that Seagal can play a caring, quiet, friendly guy who kicks ass pretty well - but that this movie could have worked with any action star.
It's worth seeing, but don't be like me and buy it on laserdisc.

quite a good story line...interesting and enjoyable...not his best not much action but enough to keep u watching it...and its good to see his relationship with the girl and the girl not die haha but yeah pretty good movie and seagal looks pretty good in it...bar a jacket he wore when he was dropping the girl off to the fedual agents...(sometimes he can have bad taste of clothes when normally they r so good)
i rate it 7/10.....
could of had more action and you can kind of tell its poorly done the end fight scene could of been way better for kris kristofecen does such a good job
