half past dead is number 12 in the uk box office out of 15 bringing in 45,000 from 76 places.....sony are a waste of time only 76 when x-2 was in 450.

#12? I think "Exit Wounds" managed to chart at #7 or#8 at least at the U.K box office. I remember when I went to see it shortly after it was released there must have been about 4 people in total at the screening I went to! This is far removed from the time that "Under Siege" was #1 at the US and UK box office. Hopefully these days will return, but even if they don't, I'll be happy to watch his films on video if thats the only way I'm going to see them

Peace.

Yeah - MMCK - there were 3 people (including me) in the cinema when I went to see Half Past Dead... on the night of it's release in the UK! Very bad news, that. When I went to see Exit Wounds, it was in the middle of the day about a week after it's release and the cinema was about a quarter full... OK, it was a small cinema, but still, it did a lot better than Half Past Dead has.

To be fair, "Exit Wounds" I think came out around the 22nd April 2001 in the UK and I did'nt get around to seeing it untill the second week in May. Though in saying that I remember going to see the Bond film "The World Is Not Enough" around two months after it was released and the cinema was packed!

I don't think Seagal really has that big a fan base in the U.K anyway compared to others in the genre he occupies. His films tend to get more of a limited release than some of his counterparts.

At the end of the day I don't really give a sh*t as I still think he is the best and hardest of the current action men bunch.

BTW GlimmerMan, Have you seen "The Foreigner" yet? There are some good scenes in it even if it is'nt just his best and he does deliver a few classic lines in it. An example being when he and Max Ryan are in the car with the package and Ryan attempts to open it Seagal says-: "I would'nt do that if I were you" and Ryan says "why not?" then Seagal points a gun at his lap and delivers this classic

"Do not open that or I will blow your two inch d*ck off!"

Needless to say, Ryan doesn't open it. LOL

Peace
