Steven Seagal is turning his hand to producing Asian pictures, starting with Dragon Squad, a martial arts actioner that's due to start filming March 15 in Hong Kong, reports Variety. Daniel Lee (Black Mask) will direct the movie.

Seagal is serving as one of the producers together with Jimmy Moy, with whom he is partnered in Bangkok-based World Media, Bey Logan and Catherine Hun.

Dragon Squad is a Cantonese/English-language saga of a battle between Interpol agents and gangsters in Hong Kong. The cast includes Sammo Hung, Michael Biehn, Andy On, and Vaness Wu.

Logan and Moy are also developing Shadows on the Sun as a project that will mark a radical departure from Seagal's tough-guy persona. Written by Logan (The Medallion), it will feature Seagal as a burned-out former intelligence officer who runs a medical clinic in Japan just after WWII.

Seagal was the executive producer on this and it's actually a half-decent movie, although it got quite the critical drubbing from Hong Kong film critics, which is understandable since it has some really chaotic camera work and spotty acting but the action is top notch though.

I picked this up a while back from cd-wow. I finally watched it last night. Steven Seagal is listed in the credits.

I thought this was not too bad, the action was very good and well shot. The only thing i thought was strange was they were all crack snipers, shots, etc, but when they were having a shoot out there were thousands of shots being fired, but no-one getting shot.

A lot of people criticize Steven Seagal's size, but look at Sammo Hung. He is a big guy, but moves very fast and gives great performances. I have seen him recently in SPL and also Dragon Squad and he has given great performances in both.
 
Yeah, I feel the movie is underrated, I would love to see a sequel but given the film's poor box office reception, I doubt it will, I think it's wonderful to see Steven attaching his name to foreign movies, wonder if he's seen it...

no one criticizes Sammo Hung's size because he doesn't use a stunt double to get out of cars, walk down the street, go up stairs, etc. he does his own crazy stunts where he jumps out of windows and climbs up walls
