What's your fav Tommy Lee Jones movie? CRIMSON TIDE: ruclips.net/video/-30DBXW2Zt4/видео.html THE HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER: ruclips.net/video/aJKQKAK9dc4/видео.html 90's MOVIE REACTIONS: ruclips.net/p/PLQHhQlj8i5dr8dJVR7bb5cRjIvAT-MeIM
Some of My Favorites with Tommy Lee Jones include "U.S. Marshals," which (You may have heard of) is a Sequel to "The Fugitive!" 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.
honestly the only line that stuck to me from the sequel was " assumption is the mother of all fuck ups" other than that can't remember Under Siege 2 for the life of me.
That actually was George Bush at the beginning. They used footage from a similar event. The remaining classic battleships really were decommissioned during this time period, which made stock footage very useful.
For more of Gary Busey btw, check out the first Point Break (1991), also starring Keanu Reeves in a very early leading role for him, and with Patrick Swayze. Rookie FBI agent Keanu partnered up with and mentored by veteran likewise Gary goes undercover to infiltrate a gang a surfers suspected of being up to no good. ;) You'll love it.
If you wanna see Gary Busey as a protagonist, then watch "Eye of the Tiger" it's probably the only movie he has where he plays the hero lead. Although he did play one of the good guy cab drivers in "D.C. Cab" with Adam Baldwin and Mr.T in the early 80s.
@@stevedavis5704 Lethal Weapon is one of Gary Buseys best roles as one of the villains Mr Joshua working for The General played by the late Mitchell Ryan.
Steven's greatest movie. I can watch it anytime, but it was all downhill from here for him. Make this the only movie of his you watch and you can always have good memories of him.
Actually, his first movie "Above the Law" wasn't that bad. And "Hard to Kill" was so bad it was good, so full of cheese all you needed to fully enjoy it was a bowl of popcorn and a bottle of soda.
Yeah. He was in the right place at the right time. Once he got 'started', he had a few movies worth a watch for the time which increased in quality till we get here. Of course he had an amazing supporting cast that chewed the scenery with gusto.
Fantastic and hilarious, thank you. So the story is Steven Segal came out of a dressing room and announced that he'd just read the greatest script ever written. Someone asked "Really, who wrote it?" And Segal replied "I did." This was the script for Under Seige 2!!!
Fun fact: 2:51 That is the same July 1989 issue of Playboy Magazine that Kevin was looking at in "Home Alone". 5:58 The female lead actress in "Under Siege" (Erika Eleniak) was the real Playboy "Playmate of the month" in July 1989.
How i havnt rewatched this until now is crazy 🤦 brilliant reaction jen loaded with jen gems and wonderful jennerisms and quips 🔥 you have great editors but i have to say i truly love watching your old videos that you edited yourself and added so much awesome stuff i feel like you definitely dont get praised enough for your brilliant editing skills and ofc wisdom nuggets 🔥 this was friggin awesome 10/10 funny lines overload i loved it cheers jen 🙌
Erica Eleniak! 😍 Growing up with Baywatch, I had a huge crush. Her beauty makes the Segal side of the plot more tolerable 😅 Notable that the terrorists keep their word to her and leave her alone (until Segal gets her involved). Good for them 👍
I could never understand how Pamela Anderson was the big star of Baywatch when Erika Eleniak was in the show too. Erika was, and still is, absolutely gorgeous 😍
@@davidburke2132 Quantity vs quality. Erica was on for the first two seasons and left at the beginning of 3 - when Pam was brought on and went for 4 seasons.
I absolutely LOVE this film! The cast is fantastic, and I remember the film being pretty panned on release, but it is unintentionally hilarious, and it still stands up, if you don't take it too seriously. The third Die Hard film was supposed to be set on a naval ship, but Under Siege's success scuppered it!
2:51 He is basically become a living meme. But his first films were great cheesy action flicks, Under Seige 1/2, Marked for Death, Out for Justice and Above the Law.
By 1992, the era of the battleship had long ended, but the Iowa-class were something to behold. Definitely look up the photo of the Iowa firing its full broadside to get a sense of how powerful those 16-inch guns were.
5:40 "Is that Tommy Lee Jones?" Yes, and the woman he's addressing, who plays the Playboy Playmate who's scheduled to jump out of the cake is Erika Eleniak, an _actual_ Playboy Playmate.
Bit of meaningless trivia: actress Erika Eleniak (cake girl) was a Playboy Playmate in real life, and the issue of Playboy they were looking at before she arrived on the ship is the actual issue containing her layout and centerfold.
Thanks jen! You're the first major RUclipsr I've seen react to this or any Steevn Seagal movie. He's become abig joke, but he was a big action star back in the day, and this is one of few movies of his that critics actually liked, so it's required viewing.
@@ISavant 😂 I remember that movie was part of a Steven Seagal DVD collection I bought back in the day. Felt like they were really scraping the bottom of the barrel with that inclusion. It is a decent movie though. Who can forget that it was on that movie that he and John Leguizamo clashed. He still talks about that to this day!
@@markieman64 from everything i've heard, segal has always been a really shitty person based on what people who've worked with him have said, and of course his vocal support of fascist putin. it's not surprising to me that people who've worked with him might still hold a grudge.
Funny trend in Seagal movies: He gets more and more soft-spoken until he barely mumbles, and bigger and bigger until he actually does action sequences and spends most of his movies sitting down...it's remarkable...

I love how crazy Gary Busey and Tommy Lee Jones are. Like they are trying to out-do each other with how big their performances are 🤣🤣🤣 Jones obviously wins with his rant about cartoon cowboy shrimp... For another crime movie with a famed actor giving a wild performance (Sir Patrick Stewart 🧐) - Masterminds 1997
Is that the movie where Patrick Stewart wore a Manchester United shirt and shouted "Uniteeeed!!" because of course Man U is the only football (sorry, soccer) club that Americans know about 🤣
@@Ammeeeeeeer It is 😉 Liverpool was featured in Formula 51 and West Ham in Bullet Train, but yes, Man U is quite famous on this side of the pond. I still don't know the song though 😅
Tommy Lee Jones was also a villain in Batman: Forever (and totally awesome), which also stars Jim Carrey and Val Kilmer (Ice Man in Top Gun). Not the best Batman, but the characters are most certainly memorable. =)
Gary Busey is from "Predator 2" with Danny Glover and Robert Davi (the villain in License to Kill) and "Silver Bullet." A classic werewolf film. Also, "Point Break" with Keanu Reeves and Patrick Swayze. And many, many more movies. -OG
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.
The ship is one of the last great battleships. The guns are 16 inch monsters. They fire 6 foot tall shells as heavy as cars. The gun barrels are 66 feet long. They can fire at objects up to 24 miles away. Of course today we use missiles instead of big guns.
If you want to see something similar, check out Passenger 57, Sudden Death, Air Force One, or the gloriously ridiculous Con Air (starring Nicolas Cage).
In case anyone is wondering why Jordan Tate looks so familiar she is played by the same actress that played Elliot's school crush in ET. Ahhh Under Siege - back when Steven Seagal hadn't thrown a promising action movie career under the bus in record time...... Under Siege also has the same director (Andrew Davis) who made The Fugitive - some of the actors from The Fugitive play roles in this film also, most notably Tommy Lee Jones, but there are many others.
2:24 Yes, that's George H.W. Bush, but it's not footage from this movie. They just incorporated it into the film. They did the same thing with Bill Clinton in Contact.
One of my favorite action movies as a kid! I'm so glad you are reacting to it! I remember watching this at my grandma's house and I loved every minute of it from start to finish. This movie is DIE HARD On a battleship. It was nominated for 2 Oscars: Best Sound Editing Best Sound Mixing. It made $156 million dollars against a $35 million dollar budget.
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!
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
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.
The girl that plays Jordan actually was in Playboy Miss July. Her first film was ET! As fir Pearl Harbor, too much of a romance mixed in with a historic background (like Titanic). If you want to watch a war movie related to Pearl Harbor attack, watch "Tora! Tora! Tora!". Then watch the original Midway movie with Charleton Heston. Steven Seagal is a martial artist in aikido. A TLJ movie where he plays another crazy villian is the 1994 movie "Blown Away".
there is always the sequal, Under Seige 2 with a similar amount of cheese 😁 Erika Eleniak, the actress playing Jordan Tate is in Chasers if you want some real cheesynes, she is in a few other movies too, Beverly Hillbillies....
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!"👍
If you are ever in Mobil Alabama they have the USS Alabama, which is a ship of this class, in dry dock as a stationary museum. Just driving past is incredible but take an afternoon to go on board and tour it and you will never forget it.
Yeah, people call this a Steven Segal movie but really he's the weakest actor in the movie. The fight scenes are fine but every time he opens his mouth it sounds like someone just read him his lines and he's trying to repeat them before he forgets. This is a great old school over the top action movie but it's greatness has very little to do with Segal.
Bay's _Pearl Harbor_ is pretty awful. _Tora! Tora! Tora!_ (1970) is a really good film about the attack on Pearl Harbor. It was an American and Japanese co-production. As well as showing the attack, it covers the political conditions and diplomatic events in both countries leading up to the attack.
Movies you'd like - The Accountant, Bad Boys 1 & 2, Matrix, Sherlock Holmes, Doctor Sleep, Independence Day, Speed, Man on Fire, Italian Job, Boondock Saints, Mr. Right, The Mechanic 1 & 2, Real Genius, Adventures in Babysitting, Palm Springs
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.
You should try Van Damme movies like Lion Heart, , Unverisal Solider., Double Impact, Blood Sport, Kick Boxer, No Retrat No Surrender a Karate Kid clone. The are only two other movies I saw Tommy Lee Jones as villian which are JFK and Batman Forever with Val Kilmer, Another good Steven Segal movie is Hard To Kill
Lion Heart doesn't get a lot of hype, but it's one of my favorite Van Damme movies. I also like "The Quest" which is sort of like "Bloodpspot" set in the 1920s and better production design.
Didn't like Segal, but loved Tommy Lee Jones... Became a big fan of the movie because of the villain, and eventually Steven Segal grew on me! To this day, this is the only one of his movies I ever re-watch. Thanks for another great reaction, Jen.
Gary Busey was memorable to as other villain but Tommy Lee Jones definitely stole the show from Seagal as rouge CIA agent Strannix with Busey with as the turncoat Krill
There are four ships of the class USS Missouri is in. All were built in the 1940s and saw action during WW2 and Korea. One, New Jersey, was brought back briefly for Viet Nam, and all four again saw service in the 1980s before being decommissioned in the early 1990s. They are all now museum ships, USS Iowa in Los Angeles, CA, USS Wisconsin in Norfolk, VA, USS New Jersey in Camden, NJ, and USS Missouri at Pearl Harbor, HI. USS Missouri is moored a couple hundred meters from the remains of USS Arizona.
Jen ,,, Gary Busey was Mr Joshua in "Lethal Weapon ps the USS Missouri is also the Battleship where Cher perfomed her classic music video for the song "Turn Back Time"
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.
Seagal is a Master in the Martial Art of Aikido. One of the most graceful and dangerous arts. He's one of the best. For whatever reason, some people don't like him but he has several good movies. His fighting style is exquisite.
people don't like him because got 22 years worth of sexual assault allegations, he's a vocal supporter of vladimir putin, and his acting quite frankly is garbage, and his music is worse, plus he's apparently an arrogant pain in the ass to work with.
I was on the sister ship of the Missouri, the Wisconsin. Always felt a little jealous of that ship since they were given credit for certain actions during Desert Shield/Storm that we ourselves had done. Then they get the music videos and movie deals. lol When they showed that movie at an MWR theater on base, boy did all the MS's in the audience react negatively when Tommy Lee Jones made fun of Navy cooks. lol I made sure to be nice and smile at the galley personnel for a few weeks afterwards.
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...
Watch “Under Siege 2:Dark Territory”. Also “Code Of Silence,” which was done I believe by the same director of “Under Siege.” This director then went on to direct Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones in “The Fugitive.”
This movie is really up there on the list of top action movies of all time for me. I won't definitely say top 10, I'd have to think about it, but I'm pretty sure it makes the top 20. It's certainly the best Steven Seagal movie, and it has way better villain actors (Tommy Lee Jones and Gary Busey) than a movie like this deserves. xD
You should watch "Executive Decision" starring Kurt Russell playing against type an unmacho character forced to lead a hostage rescue mission with Steven Seagal in satisfyingly brief role.
33:26 ... to wear sunscreen :) Great reaction, Jen. It's pretty interesting how much of an overlap that is between this movie and 1993's The Fugitive, sure the director and TLJ are two things but so many other actors are in both too. Looking forward to the next one.
"I feel like this is going to be 90s cheese at its finest": Jen, there is litterally a picture of this movies poster in the dictionary next to 'cheesy' :D AND ITS GLORIOUS!

Agreed, Under Siege 2 is worth a watch. More of the same but on a train and featuring a star performance from Apple's Newton PDA!
This is an awesome movie but Segal is a huge piece of dogshit
Another great classic here ! 👍🇺🇸🇲🇽🇮🇹
I have one reason why Part 2 is worth watching: Eric Bogosian. Greatest crazy-like-a-fox villain I've ever seen.
That actually was George Bush at the beginning. They used footage from a similar event. The remaining classic battleships really were decommissioned during this time period, which made stock footage very useful.
For more of Gary Busey btw, check out the first Point Break (1991), also starring Keanu Reeves in a very early leading role for him, and with Patrick Swayze. Rookie FBI agent Keanu partnered up with and mentored by veteran likewise Gary goes undercover to infiltrate a gang a surfers suspected of being up to no good. ;) You'll love it.
The villain Gary Busey plays in the first Lethal Weapon is the model for his psycho bad guy in my opinion.
Anthony Kiedis from Red Hot Chili Peppers has a very small role in Point Break. He is one of the surfers when Keanu is taking a shower
also starring Tom Sizemore, and "Doctor Cox" 😊
If you wanna see Gary Busey as a protagonist, then watch "Eye of the Tiger" it's probably the only movie he has where he plays the hero lead. Although he did play one of the good guy cab drivers in "D.C. Cab" with Adam Baldwin and Mr.T in the early 80s.

@@joshgoodman5667 And young Pete Campbell from Mad Men!
Is that the movie where Patrick Stewart wore a Manchester United shirt and shouted "Uniteeeed!!" because of course Man U is the only football (sorry, soccer) club that Americans know about 🤣
@@Ammeeeeeeer It is 😉
Liverpool was featured in Formula 51 and West Ham in Bullet Train, but yes, Man U is quite famous on this side of the pond. I still don't know the song though 😅
My VHS tape with this movie was ruined in that spot where Erika Eleniak jumps out of the cake...
The girl was the face of Bay Watch before Pamela Anderson. She was consequently quite famous at the time.
Naturally more pretty and classy than Pammy. Although, that is not difficult.
"oooh, ahhh, gross" Once again Jen shows why she's the best reactor on RUclips. This one was so good! Awesome work by the editor as well.
"Don't they have a panic button?" is a very Jen-Z thing to say :)
Thanks Larry! 😎👍⚓️
@@jenmurrayxo please do Marked for Death you would flip on that one Keith David Steven Seagal it has More fight scenes
Tommy Lee Jones was also a villain in Batman: Forever (and totally awesome), which also stars Jim Carrey and Val Kilmer (Ice Man in Top Gun).
Not the best Batman, but the characters are most certainly memorable. =)
I JUST watched Batman Returns (posting in December) and now I really want to see more Batmans!
@@jenmurrayxo I shall look forward to thst release!
Coincidental timing of my comment given that Batman: Forever is the third Tim Burton movie! =D
Gary Busey is from "Predator 2" with Danny Glover and Robert Davi (the villain in License to Kill) and "Silver Bullet." A classic werewolf film. Also, "Point Break" with Keanu Reeves and Patrick Swayze. And many, many more movies. -OG
Also Lethal Weapon in 1987 is a classic with Gary Busey as one of the villains along with Mitchell Ryan.
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.
The ship is one of the last great battleships. The guns are 16 inch monsters. They fire 6 foot tall shells as heavy as cars. The gun barrels are 66 feet long. They can fire at objects up to 24 miles away. Of course today we use missiles instead of big guns.
Hell yeah, one of the best of 90s Die Hard knock-offs.
If you want to see something similar, check out Passenger 57, Sudden Death, Air Force One, or the gloriously ridiculous Con Air (starring Nicolas Cage).
Seriously underrated action movie. Love the villains.
Patrons be trollin', apparently. 🤣
To be fair, though, I'm considering Seagal in 2023. Back in '92, he hadn't gone off the deep end yet.
They know I love 90's action cheese 🔥
@@jenmurrayxo 🧀 😎
0:49 You saw Gary Busey in Lethal Weapon!
In case anyone is wondering why Jordan Tate looks so familiar she is played by the same actress that played Elliot's school crush in ET.
Ahhh Under Siege - back when Steven Seagal hadn't thrown a promising action movie career under the bus in record time......
Under Siege also has the same director (Andrew Davis) who made The Fugitive - some of the actors from The Fugitive play roles in this film also, most notably Tommy Lee Jones, but there are many others.
Umm, I don't think ppl remember Erika as a kid in E.T. as much as they do from her being a playmate and her role on Baywatch...just a hunch 🤔
Woah, didn't know that one, interesting!
8:15 "cross dressing and burnt pies"
that should have been the tagline on the movie poster!!! hahahaha!!!
always love your reactions!!!
Jen I think you would like Passenger 57 (1992) or Executive Decision (1996).
2:24 Yes, that's George H.W. Bush, but it's not footage from this movie. They just incorporated it into the film. They did the same thing with Bill Clinton in Contact.
YESSSSSS!!!! You re not ready for the CRAZINESS this movie is.
"Speak softly, but carry a big stick." TR
Yes, he speaks quietly but he doesn't need to speak loudly. Action speaks louder than words. 😮
One of my favorite action movies as a kid! I'm so glad you are reacting to it!
I remember watching this at my grandma's house and I loved every minute of it from start to finish.
This movie is DIE HARD On a battleship.
It was nominated for 2 Oscars:
Best Sound Editing
Best Sound Mixing.
It made $156 million dollars against a $35 million dollar budget.
Another movie in which Tommy Lee Jones plays the villain is "Blown Away" from 1994.
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!
The Playboy Playmate is Erika Eleniak, who played the girl Elliot kissed in ET, which was her first movie role.
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
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.
This was a good action/martial arts movie back then. We didnt KNOW Seagal was going to turn into a turd...lol.
The girl that plays Jordan actually was in Playboy Miss July.
Her first film was ET!
As fir Pearl Harbor, too much of a romance mixed in with a historic background (like Titanic). If you want to watch a war movie related to Pearl Harbor attack, watch "Tora! Tora! Tora!". Then watch the original Midway movie with Charleton Heston.
Steven Seagal is a martial artist in aikido.
A TLJ movie where he plays another crazy villian is the 1994 movie "Blown Away".
there is always the sequal, Under Seige 2 with a similar amount of cheese 😁 Erika Eleniak, the actress playing Jordan Tate is in Chasers if you want some real cheesynes, she is in a few other movies too, Beverly Hillbillies....
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!"👍
If you are ever in Mobil Alabama they have the USS Alabama, which is a ship of this class, in dry dock as a stationary museum. Just driving past is incredible but take an afternoon to go on board and tour it and you will never forget it.
It's the only Steven Segal movie I can actually watch. Mostly because of Tommy Lee Jones and Gary Busey.
I gotta add Out For Justice and Marked For Death.
Oh. And Glimmer Man.
@@GangstaStan010 Nope.
@@magicbrownie1357 Fair enough. That's my list anyway.
😂
Yeah, people call this a Steven Segal movie but really he's the weakest actor in the movie. The fight scenes are fine but every time he opens his mouth it sounds like someone just read him his lines and he's trying to repeat them before he forgets. This is a great old school over the top action movie but it's greatness has very little to do with Segal.
This was a great movie! The music rocked, too! Of course, your reaction totally rocked!! Thank you!
Bay's _Pearl Harbor_ is pretty awful.
_Tora! Tora! Tora!_ (1970) is a really good film about the attack on Pearl Harbor. It was an American and Japanese co-production. As well as showing the attack, it covers the political conditions and diplomatic events in both countries leading up to the attack.
Movies you'd like - The Accountant, Bad Boys 1 & 2, Matrix, Sherlock Holmes, Doctor Sleep, Independence Day, Speed, Man on Fire, Italian Job, Boondock Saints, Mr. Right, The Mechanic 1 & 2, Real Genius, Adventures in Babysitting, Palm Springs
Steven Seagal the one who acts completely without facial expressions, no matter what 😂 This was his best flick for sure. Loved your reaction, Jen. ❤
you forgot Buster Keaton.... :-)
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.
You should try Van Damme movies like Lion Heart, , Unverisal Solider., Double Impact, Blood Sport, Kick Boxer, No Retrat No Surrender a Karate Kid clone. The are only two other movies I saw Tommy Lee Jones as villian which are JFK and Batman Forever with Val Kilmer, Another good Steven Segal movie is Hard To Kill
Lion Heart doesn't get a lot of hype, but it's one of my favorite Van Damme movies. I also like "The Quest" which is sort of like "Bloodpspot" set in the 1920s and better production design.
we've seen Gary Busey's son Jake in Starship Troopers (1987).
Good choice. Lot of stars in this movie
Good job. Don't forget the champagne. 😏
🥂
26:09 during this whole sequence, he’s just literally taking these guys apart… 😂
Didn't like Segal, but loved Tommy Lee Jones... Became a big fan of the movie because of the villain, and eventually Steven Segal grew on me! To this day, this is the only one of his movies I ever re-watch. Thanks for another great reaction, Jen.
Gary Busey was memorable to as other villain but Tommy Lee Jones definitely stole the show from Seagal as rouge CIA agent Strannix with Busey with as the turncoat Krill
There are four ships of the class USS Missouri is in. All were built in the 1940s and saw action during WW2 and Korea. One, New Jersey, was brought back briefly for Viet Nam, and all four again saw service in the 1980s before being decommissioned in the early 1990s. They are all now museum ships, USS Iowa in Los Angeles, CA, USS Wisconsin in Norfolk, VA, USS New Jersey in Camden, NJ, and USS Missouri at Pearl Harbor, HI. USS Missouri is moored a couple hundred meters from the remains of USS Arizona.
Excellent choice. Cheeky favourite movie
Jen ,,, Gary Busey was Mr Joshua in "Lethal Weapon
ps
the USS Missouri is also the Battleship where Cher perfomed her classic music video for the song "Turn Back Time"
this is easily one of Tommy Lee Jones' best roles.
That was the same issue of Playboy that Buzz had in Home Alone.
The 90s had some brilliant films, and this is one of them. Tommy Lee Jones is just fantastic!
There’s enough 90s cheese on this to make nachos while you watch 😁
Steven Segals one good movie. But notice he never comes close to losing a fight , hardly gets touched due to his HUGE ego.
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.
Omg Jen first to comment here , i'm so stoked that you're reacting to this yes one of SEAGAL's best before he became laughable ! 😃👊
One of the mercs shot at 22:22 is Kane Hodder a well known stuntman who is also famous for playing Jason voorhees in part 7-10 of Friday 13th
Seagal is a Master in the Martial Art of Aikido. One of the most graceful and dangerous arts. He's one of the best. For whatever reason, some people don't like him but he has several good movies. His fighting style is exquisite.
people don't like him because got 22 years worth of sexual assault allegations, he's a vocal supporter of vladimir putin, and his acting quite frankly is garbage, and his music is worse, plus he's apparently an arrogant pain in the ass to work with.
I was on the sister ship of the Missouri, the Wisconsin. Always felt a little jealous of that ship since they were given credit for certain actions during Desert Shield/Storm that we ourselves had done. Then they get the music videos and movie deals. lol When they showed that movie at an MWR theater on base, boy did all the MS's in the audience react negatively when Tommy Lee Jones made fun of Navy cooks. lol I made sure to be nice and smile at the galley personnel for a few weeks afterwards.
⭐ NICE REACTION
⭐ SUGGEST:
⭐ UNDER SIEGE 2: DARK TERRITORY
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...
Tommy Lee Jones. Man of the house.
Watch “Under Siege 2:Dark Territory”. Also “Code Of Silence,” which was done I believe by the same director of “Under Siege.” This director then went on to direct Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones in “The Fugitive.”
This movie is really up there on the list of top action movies of all time for me. I won't definitely say top 10, I'd have to think about it, but I'm pretty sure it makes the top 20. It's certainly the best Steven Seagal movie, and it has way better villain actors (Tommy Lee Jones and Gary Busey) than a movie like this deserves. xD
Tommy Lee Jones was Two-Face in Batman Forever.
Gary Busey was the blond badguy in Lethal Weapon 1.
You should watch "Executive Decision" starring Kurt Russell playing against type an unmacho character forced to lead a hostage rescue mission with Steven Seagal in satisfyingly brief role.
GEROGE BUSH HIMSELF WAS NOT IN THE MOVIE BUT THE NEWS STORY OF HIM USED IN THE MOVIE WAS.
The sequel to this movie taught me how to download more RAM.
I tried but failed
A GRRRRREAT Submarine movie is an old Black & White movie with Clark Gable - RUN SILENT RUN DEEP
33:26 ... to wear sunscreen :) Great reaction, Jen. It's pretty interesting how much of an overlap that is between this movie and 1993's The Fugitive, sure the director and TLJ are two things but so many other actors are in both too. Looking forward to the next one.
Tom Wood was one those who appeared in The Fugitive as Newman and was Private Nash in Under Siege as well as Joseph Kosala.
@@scottknode898 That's one, yes. Another is the Admiral who is the judge at Kimble's trial.
"I feel like this is going to be 90s cheese at its finest": Jen, there is litterally a picture of this movies poster in the dictionary next to 'cheesy' :D AND ITS GLORIOUS!
This is an excellent action movie, even with Seagal, but of course my favourite scene features the giant cake! :)
Ayyyy!
Michael Weldon who we see @ 3:03 was also in the movie "The Hunt for Red October"
Jenn, you should also watch Under Siege 2, It is also great. Thank you for your reactions. How is Tara doing?
She's doing well! I hope she'll join me for a reaction soon 👍👍
@@jenmurrayxo I would Love to See Tara again, and I'd Love it more to See Y'all Both together again!! 💕

The playboy girl is Erika Eleniak she was also in the comedy movie called Chasers which was kinda fun as i remember.
