I'd also Recommend "Fire Birds / The Client / Volcano / Double Jeopardy / (and More) Men in Black!!" He also lends His Crazy Voice to one of My Favorites Kid's Movies, "Small Soldiers!" 👍

    This was a very solid movie, with no real issues to complain about. In recent times, Segal has gone off the rails, and many complain he wasn't great to work with back in the day, but this was a better than average action flick of the time. While part 2 was more of the same, I would say that movie deserves a viewing as well, as I found it entertaining as well and I'll re-watch both if they happen to be on streaming at any given time.

    Hi, Jen, I have to dig into your archive on your off days. The coolest thing about this movie, to me, is the USS Missouri itself, a massive WWII-era battleship. Though I believe most of the filming was done on a different battleship which was a museum ship at the time. If you want some perspective on Steven Seagal, look up YT video of people talking about the week he hosted SNL. Al Franken tells it well, saying Seagal was by far the worst host ever, impossible to work with. Despite all the cheese from the film, you were delightful as always.

    Great reaction Jen! Without a doubt best movie by Steven Segal, great physique charisma and presence but like Arnold not really an actor... Had everything for a renumerating career, but had personality issues, chose bad films and finally let himself go physically, a great example of a Hollywood miss... This movie however is quite good, had the right budget and people behind it, loved it when it came out (AND Erika getting out of the cake!), still holds up pretty well today, Steven lucked out with this one after that it all went downhill for him, sadly the same is true for his co-star Gary Busey, the guy degenerated also with to much of a taste for nose candy.... Tommy Lee Jones however remained top tier with one of a rare vilain psycho role for him and had a great career, what a contrast to Lt. Gerard the FBI agent, he also played a great character in Eyes of Laura Mars with Faye Dunaway, worth a look, he was very handsome when he was younger but aged quickly, a very talented actor who achieved great succes in Holywood, enjoyed this reaction as usual, great movie choice!

    So, back in the early 80s, an American film production was in Japan making a movie called THE CHALLENGE about a small-time mob enforcer who winds up in the middle of a battle between two Japanese gangs. The filmmakers asked around for the most knowledgeable aikido guy in the country to design their fights. People kept pointing them to this skinny Italian guy. They said, "No, we want a Japanese guy." Everyone kept saying, "no, this guy knows the most." Well, it turned out the guy knew what he was doing, and the fights turned out great. He then got the gig of training Sean Connery for his fight scenes in NEVER SAY NEVER AGAIN, then he became martial arts instructor to the stars. In 1987, Mike Ovitz bet someone he could turn anybody into a star, and so decided to make this guy into the lead of a low-budget action movie called ABOVE THE LAW. It was a hit, followed by some more hits. A few years later,, the same director and actor were re-teamed, and UNDER SIEGE was #1 for four weeks in a row, becoming Steve's only Oscar-nominated movie (great sound, eh?). Alas, this success caused Steve's ego to explode, and his career never reached this peak again. The Director on the other hand, got offered THE FUGITIVE on the strength of this movie. And since this movie was the first real hit Tommy Lee Jones had had in over ten years, he tagged along and won his first Oscar. As for what else you should try, watch IN THE VALLEY OF ELAH for Tommy Lee and EXECUTIVE DECISION, which is the only other really good movie Steve got to be in.

    FYI - the beginning USS Missouri filming and narration was actually done by a legendary TV newsman from St Louis, Mo named Don Marsh. He was selected to do a TV special on the Missouri’s decommissioning. The studio like it so much they used him to do their own version for the movie.

    Good Afternoon Jen! 💝 Steven Seagal may have "fallen out of fashion" lately (to put it mildly), but He was one of the most Badass Action Stars back-in-the-day...and this is still one of His very Best! If You'd be any-at-all interested, He did make a Sequel to this ("Under Siege 2: Dark Territory") and I-for-one would Recommend it!!✌
    On-the-other-hand, here's another Suggestion: You should consider the movie "Battleship" from 2012. It's another personal Favorite of Mine, and one of the Highlights is that it features the very Same Battleship that was used in this movie; "U.S.S. Missouri!"👍

  • @tvdroid22

    The actual on-ship footage was done on the USS Alabama based in Mobile, AL. The sub is also part of the exhibit. While the plot is set for the Pacific ocean, when Segal is overboard in the water, you can see that water is muddy brown. That's Mobile Bay! The Iowa class battleships were modernized by the Reagan admin giving them cruise missiles as wellnas the Phalanx close in weapons system, updated systems throughout. There was even work on new shells for the 16 inch guns, whick could hurl a shell nearly 2,000 lbs over 20 miles to devastating effect. They were retired in the 1990's primarily due to budget cuts.

    You were told wrong. "Above The Law" is the actual best Seagal film. It was his first, ambitious film in which he showed off a lot of his modernized Aikido. I also like "Hard To Kill", "Marked For Death", "Under Siege 2". But "Above The Law"... can't go wrong with that one.

    25:37 "But he is _not_ going to follow orders."
    The US Armed Forces have taught a list of leadership traits since at least as far back as the 1950's; every branch. One of those traits is initiative. It's _good_ to follow orders, most of the time, but the fact is, inevitably, you're going to encounter local circumstances that those admirals don't know about and have not accounted for. Under those circumstances, you have to have initiative to account for them yourself.
    The key to being a good follower is being a good leader.

      Yeah, people call this a Steven Segal movie but really he's the weakest actor in the movie.

This is a great old school over the top action movie but it's greatness has very little to do with Segal.

    Fun review as always! The sequel, UNDER SIEGE 2: DARK TERRITORY (1995), is not as good--but still a fun screening. As for Seagal, I highly recommend his first four movies: ABOVE THE LAW (1988), HARD TO KILL (1990), MARKED FOR DEATH (1990) and OUT FOR JUSTICE (1991). Plenty of martial arts in those! Tommy Lee plays a great role in the Faye Dunaway thriller EYES OF LAURA MARS (1978). Check it out too!

    Erika Eleniak went on to play Elly May Clampett in The Beverley Hillbillies movie based on the 1960s TV series.
    As for Steven Segal, Under Seige 2: Dark Territory is good as is Exit Wounds. A lot is due to the supporting cast. He is also forced to take an anger management class which gives an interesting moment or two. He plays a villain in Machete which is great because it stars Danny Trejo, Jessica Alba, Michelle Rodriguez, and Robert Deniro as a Texas politician who wants to build a border wall.

    You want to see Tommy Lee Jones as a crazy villain - obvious choice is "Batman Forever" where he plays Two-Face. Bonus points - Jim Carrey is also in it and he chews the scenery just as well. As well, Batman is played by Iceman himself, Val Kilmer. Another film where he plays the villain is "Blown Away" where he ties to blow up Jeff Bridges

    • @jessecortez9449
      @jessecortez9449 Год назад

      He was cast as Two-Face but he very much played the Joker with how manic he was. I think he's even said he knew nothing about the character but his kids or grandkids loved Batman so he took the role but based his performance on the only Batman character he had any reference for. Still worth a watch just to see the otherwise often stoic Tommy Lee Jones be an off the wall lunatic criminal.

    I love how Jen went into this expecting trash, but from from the very beginning there were hints of something more. The naval footage, reverent of the military. The music, first just a pitter-patter like a mouse. The suspense building for so long, you forget there was supposed to be a siege. Under Siege isn't just a Steven Seagal movie, because it has such a magnificent ensemble cast. It's a CLASSIC!
    My low-key MVP is Sailor Jen for noticing those anchor earrings that I NEVER NOTICED IN 20 YEARS LOL!
    My MVP is of course the USS Missouri, the real star of the show from the opening scenes, though the movie wasn't shot there. Missouri was the peak of human technology and warfare in WW2, and the last great battleship before air power and nuclear weapons eliminated the need for such unimaginable dreadnaughts flinging hunks of steel bigger than a man for tens of miles. If a modern warfighting ship is a missile launcher, then battleships were guns. Bristling with guns, actually; they had 100 or more guns of various types including the big ones. Those guns were firing into Iraq during the FIRST Iraq war. Ships like Missouri inspired countless fictional stories that we still watch today, including Star Trek, where the Enterprise is considered a battleship too. These opening scenes aren't something you can do with computer-generated graphics. Those feelings of awe indicate the terrible world-ending power of the human heart, and why we unfortunately need military might to defend against military might.

    I also recommend "Above the law", one of my favourite movies from the 80s. The opening ist so good and Seagal shows that he is a master of Aikido in real life, very good martial arts film. There you see the difference between a real master and an actor who only plays a master of martial arts. Just watch the first 10 minutes of the movie and you see what I mean. 😎
    Aditionally I must say we in germany have a big advantage: the movies are synchronized, they get professional german actors/speakers, who gave all the actors in movies german speech. And therefore the best voices are selected to suit the characters the best possible way. Steven Seagal is a very good example, his german voice is totally different from his real one, and this makes him so much better (for us 😁). I just heard his real voice now for the first time, and I couldn't believe it. What a quiet peepsy voice...
