Because "EW" had style...
If I remember correctly, Tom Arnold was on Howard Stern around the time "Exit Wounds" came out. Arnold claimed Seagal was always showing up late, acting rude and having his entourage run wild on the set (similiar to the charges against him by NU Image) Howard Stern, being a big Seagal fan, said he loved Seagal, but he is getting so old and out of shape the man can barely lift his legs to kick. Still, I think "Exit Wounds" was his last great film since US2, as it had a lot of great action/storyline, brutal violence, and cool characters. Direction was pretty good, and the soundtrack was great. His newer films have absolutely nothing that I like. In fact, most of the people on this forum have to SEARCH for things to like about it.
Think about it. Here is a simulation of a conversation by a Seagal fan that will blindly worship him no matter what.
Q Do you like the fact Seagal's voice is dubbed?
A. No.
QDo you like the fact that he is an acclaimed martial artist using stunt doubles for all of his fight scenes?
A. No
Q. Do you like the fact the storylines make little or no sense?
A. No.
Q. Isn't it terrible Seagal is out of shape?
A. No, he looks handsome that way. 54 year old man with guts and a ratty ponytail are considered the most attractive people on Earth
Q. Then what do you like?
A. The "costumes" (whatever the hell that means), the pretty girls, and the scenery.
Q. So what do you think of the film overall?
A. Steven Seagal is the best!
These people are not helping Seagal, but are hurting him by accepting his terrible behavior.
rgray_aikido said:Exit Wounds doesn't have that much fighting in it and with the exception of the short overly choregraphed fight sequence in front of the SUV all of the fight sequences make heavy use of doubles. In fact the fight with dmx in front of the building is probaly 95% stand in. The fight in the bar Seagal mostly poses but the stand in does the throws and flips. So exit wounds is no different than his later films in terms of the usage of doubles. So i don't understand why some people consider exit wounds to be his last great film.
