No problem Kathy...the whole idea is to become more tolerant towards others, and while I have been induced into the "trouble maker hall of fame" I assure you if I am treated with respect it will be reciprocated.
When one wants to make a difference one has to give the example not demand and/or expect others to do it just because we want them to.

Feel free to ask the mods if I was "off-topic" in this thread and I bet you any money they will not.
Question:Has Lotus got an alter ego called purplelotus1?A split peronality maybe?They sure like to stick up for each other.Pathetic.
I will no longer respond to the posts of:Lotus,Purplotus1,Jalu,Heather etc.Please don't respond to mine.I consider my self to mature for all this.

Kathy, you have nothing to apologise for. Your comments were perfectly reasonable, and I echo your sentiments. Please do not feel you have to apologise for expressing a legitimate desire to get things back on track.

How often in Steven's earlier films did they use stunt doubles? I don't recall any stunt double at all in Above The Law or Out for Justice. In Hard to Kill, they did use a stunt double when all the squibbs (that's technical movie special effects speak) were going off in the doctor's house, and again when Mason and Andrea were escaping in the Jeep. In Marked for Death, they used a stunt double for part of the fight scene in the bar near the end.
Hmmm... I think this calls for another round of lists!
Steven's Stunt Doubles
1. Hard to Kill - in the doctor's house when the bad cops invade, and driving the Jeep over the property
2. Marked for Death - fight in the bar near the end (where they're fighting behind the bar and Hatcher gets smashed into the glass shelves and then thrown against the bar top) (caution: going on dim memory because it's been a couple of months since I've seen it)
3. Under Seige 2 - tumbling down the stairs near the end during the knife fight
Okay - I've started the list - who's next?

Thank you Lotussan and TD for that info on the stund doubles. Maybe if I slow the movie I might see it.
Thanks again.

You didn't lose anything else besides a letter from a word, did you?

Great list, TD.
Another one to add- in OFJ, when him and Richie Madano are tussling at the end, and drop down from the stairs to the sitting room below (breaking the bannisters in the process), it's clearly a double... then it changes to Sensei once he gets up from the floor.

Stunt Doubles
I think The Master uses them a lot less than some action stars. As for Out for Justice, you can see a stunt double in a few scenes - the mentioned bit where he and Richie go flying over a wooden bannister, and is you pause it one is visible in his apartment as he pushes a guy through glass into a bedroom before shooting him on the bed. I'm pretty sure in The Glimmer Man the guy who leaps over the counter after Seagal puts down the newspaper is a double. There's a really bad one in Out For A Kill after Seagal gouges the second guys eyes out near the end. I thought in comparison the director of Belly of the Beast did an excellent job of concealing them as they were very hard to spot. As for the ponytail, yes in the latter film it's more frizzy and less defined than it has been in the past, so much so it's hardly noticeable as the actual ponytail we all know and love. As for wire-work, he didn't actually do that much wire-work himself in Belly of the Beast, it was the people he was fighting that kept flying through the air. The scene in the end where he flies back into a desk holding a sword was clearly on a wire but that was most likely his double so still doesn't count as Seagal himself using a wire. As we know though he used them a lot on Exit Wounds, I myself don't care for wires as it makes fight scene venture into a lack of realism, Jet Li's wire-work is particularly bad and reached its venir at the end of Romeo Must Die when the two guys fly at each other and do moves in mid-air that are so impossible and unrealistic they just look stupid. That said, I loved every minute of the fight scenes in Belly of the Beast they were superbly done.

I Belong To Steven
He is superb! He is awesome! I loved the fight scenes from belly, he is so thrilling, OMG!
I believe that he definately does most everything himself, but there were a few times where I could see the double because of the hair color in the swordfight scenes...
This was from the back view, it wasn't Steven's hair...
And the times he goes crashing through glass (not just in BOTB) is a very dangerous stunt, so I understand why the use a double for that...
OMG, Exit Wounds behind the scenes was AWESOME!
I had always assumed that it was a double doing the spinning (I don't know what you call it) kick in the (what am I) pickup truck scene, (you know, where his hand touches the ground) then I saw that it was actually him!
Even though he uses a harness for support, the way he did those kicks was so COOL...
His kicks just plain amaze me, I love watching him do them! He is soooo powerful!
Like in BOTB, when he kicks Jantapan and he goes flying all the way across the room, OMG, what a man!
He is totally IMPRESSIVE, no doubt!
He is just amazing, he is POWERFUL and THRILLING...
