Realistically, what kind of extras could they have other than maybe a director's commentary? Doubtful Seagal would participate in any new interviews and such, so I figure they think it's not worth bothering with.
Last Seagal movie you watched?

Minimum: Deleted scenes & making of, plus trailer & promos!!! Examples: Fire Down Below (WB), Belly of The Beast...
And interviews with the cast as well, director/script writer/composer commentaries, Ex: Half Past Dead
Where there's a will, there's a way

Yeah, I mean, at the bare minimum the aforementioned deleted scenes on many of his films; almost every single film of his has less than secret scenes that were cut but never shown, or only popped up in a TV airing. Many of the people involved in these films have done interviews for free about the films, even if Seagal wouldn't participate, I'm sure many of those involved would be game to offer new interviews or behind-the-scenes tales. A lot of the Sony era films had special features that weren't on the discs stateside.

I watched A Dangerous Man on DVD today. I hadn't seen that one in a few years. Decent post-Sony DTV effort. One of the many efforts he made with Keoni Waxman and you'll recognize a lot of people he's worked with before in the film. Though filmed in Canada, being a Seattle native, I appreciated WA setting. Seagal is a little more brutal in this one, tonally I mean. He's kinda "mean" at times, not that these folks don't deserve it, but he always seems to need a push to brutalize someone at his mercy. He's morally reluctant to excessively hurt bad guys most times, here, he has a few times where he could have walked away but decided to hurt the baddie as promised. A Dangerous Man is pretty standard Seagal fare, IMO, but still competent and an easy watch.

Just let me go, or I'll fuck you up ugly...haha great line
Brutal & mean Seagal is the best Seagal, and the bad guys always deserved it, it's the only way they learn!!

That was exactly the moment I thought up. He brutalized that man as promised lol
Just finished Marked for Death for the second time. Lots of nice action in it.
There is the Arsenio Hall interview on youtube that's been there for ages to watch as an "extra," and I'm not sure if you're all familiar with the little making of that's has been on the tube just a few years (I wasn't), but the link is below.

An interesting recent interview with the director also

Just got the R4 DVD in the mail the other day, so I rewatched 2007's Flight of Fury (aka Black Thunder in some parts, which it's a remake of). A watchable effort from Seagal that puts him in a different scenario, and he gets to play an air force pilot this time around. Production values are decent for the era and I liked that Seagal had an end action sequence of taking on multiple terrorists with knives, and even a long pipe, so there's a decent Bo staff-style fight ala On Deadly Ground. He seemed to be mostly there for this effort. I'd put it somewhere in the middle of his DTV-era output.

Agree, is a good effort, it reminds me a bit of Clint Eastwood's Firefox...the knife & Bo alike fight is great, and he was fitter than ever!! (though it didn't last long)
P.S. And the lesbian sex scene it's awesome lol!! (anyway how did it make it to the final script?? I imagine the producers and screenwriters in a meeting: we're making a new Steven Seagal movie, we could film a lesbian sex scene...wtf...oh what a great idea, action fans are gonna love it!!)

I counted 13.376 DVDs in your humble home video store

This one, I admit, I didn't enjoy. It felt quite dull and forgettable.

At least someone has a count cause I have no idea how many there are!

Yeah, Firefox is a good likening. I liked that the end scene had a lot of action and Seagal was clearly present for the majority of it, even doing some solid fight choreography.
And yeah, the lesbian scene...how vulgar and gratuitous! lol Out of nowhere, chick seduces the other chick. I love when she leaves and the other bad guy is like, "That was fast." (or whatever he said)

I got the R2 DVD of 2005's Black Dawn yesterday, so I decided to give that one rewatch today. There's actually a lot I like about this one: production values are good, locations around California/L.A. surprised me as they aren't cheap to film in, the supporting cast was surprisingly competent and did well, and it had a coherent plot with a lot of characters but didn't become overly convoluted as some of the era did. I even liked Seagal's acting and presence in this despite doing no real fight scenes.
I have to gripe that I really wish they'd have kept the "stairway fight" out of the film. The first time I saw it when it was new, I remember not realizing that was supposed to be Cold until about halfway through the fight. If Seagal was adamant about not shooting a fight like that, they should have just left it out, and the film would have played better. Having it in detracted from the film.
But all in all, I do enjoy this one for different reasons and I'd put it in the middle of his DTV-era output.

The ending dialogue at the restaurant is awful, calling her partner her concubine...the rest is Ok, his acting is good, but lack of action and fights. At least the DVD has some extras including a brief Making Of.

The Master/Wizard of the 3 night stand...they didn't need that bit at the restaurant at all. It's a film I like for different reasons than some of his others, tit for tat feel.

haha Seagal is an expert at 'destroying' his movies in the last scene/s, I recall 3 or 4 at least...anyway, it is what it is lol
