@Carbon-BASED-Lifeform no dude, her might be borderline one dimensional on the stage, but when they yell cut, he doesnt go around telling everyone he saved the world by convincing the 5th element that the world was worth saving.
I actually ran into him in Cancun in '92...he was walking out of a club as I was getting ready to go in. Seemed like a decent guy...shook my hand when I told him I enjoyed his movies which was the truth. I found his early movies entertaining. His theatrical version of aikido looked good on camera and was a nice change from flying spin kicks to the head. I had to marvel years later when he got fat and instead of losing weight, wore a long coat the whole time to hide his gut. Pretty sad
My husband and his friend met him in New Orleans before he started fall. He wasn't really a fan but his friend was. My husband said when his friend ran up excited to talk to him that he was very friendly to him, talked with him for a good 15min, seeming to be genuinely smiling the whole time, took pictures and gave him an autograph. I was pretty young when he was popular and thus in awe of the action star. When I got older and started seeing all the harm and chaos I was just disgusted. Now days, knowing his full story (which is everywhere).... The draft-dodging, harassing/assaulting women, harming coworkers and abandoning his wife and multiple children.... It just makes me loathe him.
Ehhh. I'd say either a close second would be any of the Jason Brant videos of So Bad It's Good watching most if not all of Seagulls movies. Their commentary make the movies enjoyable.
Fellow viewers, at 12:01 you maybe excused in thinking that Critical Drinker just looped the guy getting thrown out of the window. However, you would be wrong...the movie Kill Switch was legitimately edited to show the man flying through a window 12 times.
Knowing that JCVD got into an argument with two heads bigger Dolph 'Chemist and Kickboxing Champ' Lundgren on the "Universal Soldier" set and they respectively injured each other, I would say that Seagal would have been in for a rude surprise that evening.
@petersjerp9395 “well I’m sorry to hear that, ‘cause now, I will snatch every motherfuckin’ birthday” (EDIT: then he takes a bite of a carrot and does a goofy dance for Daddy Putin)
My older brother went to watch "Executive Decision" when it came out in the cinema. I remember him telling me that at the scene where Segal dies (it's early in the film), everyone in the audience got up and cheered, still makes me laugh to this day.
It's worth nothing that the two films that moved Seagal up a level, first Above the Law and then Under Siege, were both directed by "The Fugitive" director Andrew Davis. If you watch Under Siege, you can see that the good actors (Tommy Lee Jones, Gary Busey) and the entire movie are acting around Seagal. It's possible, just possible, that it was the director and everyone else on set who was what made these movies work.
I mean, if I'm being honest with myself, Seagal wasn't bad in Under Siege. Sure, you can already smell his ego with how he goes through the whole movie without suffering a scratch until he got anchored, but the movie as a whole was still a guilty pleasure for me to rewatch time and time again. Did Tommy, Gary and a certain Cake scene elevate the movie? Most certainly. But it just feels like a fun time in general for me. Then again, Under Siege 1 and 2 are the ONLY Steven Seagal movies I've ever seen. Never really cared for the guy or his other movies.
You mean to say that the market of Seagal films was saturated after Under Siege 1? Possible. I mean it's its own genre... How many times can you swap actors before you start seeing the pattern...?
Wasn't he also the one who introduced that ridiculous side-ways aim that all the wanna-be gangster rappers adopted as being "cool"? I remember seeing him in one of his first movies, running behind two other men while pointing his gun side-ways and over their heads at the "target", a way of aiming that makes it hard to hit the side of a barn at 10 feet, let alone a person.
@tjroelsma Tilting your guns is older I think. Tarantino also likes it. And for whatever reason it is a mechanic in Escape From Tarkov but I don t remember ever seeing a real gun like that.
@incurableromantic4006 Yeah but what's better? The Marvels bringing $206 million with a $300-374 million budget or bringing in $80 million with a $50 million budget?
@incurableromantic4006 I would say more then double, you need to take in account that international movie cut is worse for them then domestic, also marketing cost is never included in the budget so prabobly 2.5 or 3x the cost to break even id say
That’s one story where the story of how it got made is more interesting than the final film. But if you think the filming of Never Say Never Again was mad, that has nothing on the absolute shitshow that is Casino Royale 1967.
Octopussy was the better Bond movie! I will take Bond dressed up as a clown over Largo dressed like a tennis snob in cheap remake every day of the week! 😂
Go listen to the Sylvester Stallone interview where he tells the story as the party was at his house. Seagal left the party and went to a bar. JCVD followed and challenged him there too and he again left. According to Sly, very wise of him not to engage because he would get his ass kicked.
Don't forget, he was once a Sheriff's Deputy too! Steven Seagal:Lawman was a surreal experience that proved that there is nothing this man can't do, poorly.
I remember a late night tv show where the name Seagal came up, he apparently visited a well known cop bar!he hung up a picture of himself on a wall with decorated police officers!after he left, they didnt take it down... they Shot it off the wall!
The most fun I get out of him is watching quick recaps on the Space Ice channel. Only thing we can give him credit for is that he never stopped with these movies, there seem to be thousands of them...
"Crash And Burn - The Steven Seagal Story" is the Critical Drinker mega-blockbuster hit video where he showed the world the epic rise and fall of Sensei Seagal!
Lol….was gonna chime in about SpaceIce too. His takedowns are so damn good you’ll pee a little. 😂. And he’s convinced Seagal’s career is just one giant money laundering scheme. Which I love.
@mpeacraft8585 not purely lazy. Just an overweight clumsy oaf with bad knees. All you have to see is any scene of him walking down the street and that is pretty obvious.
Great supporting cast in Deadly Ground. Michael Caine. R. Lee Ermey. Billy Bob Thornton. John C. Mcginley. One thing his hit movies had going for them was he spent money to get good bad guys. Busey and Jones in Under Siege ate that movie alive.
@jimjones308 Billy Bob Thornton has a small role in On Deadly Ground, too. My head canon is that his character in Landman, who works for an oil company, is the same guy. (I don't remember if he died in On Deadly Ground and I have no desire to rewatch it to make sure.)
@thecandlemaker1329 Thinking he had what it took to write, star in (in his mind as a dashing leading man no less), and direct a movie, plus making that weird close-up head shot of himself the artwork, and he didn't have an ego? The Room might be the most pure example ever of a movie substituting for a person's ego.
The Van Dam incident actually happened at a Sylvester Stallone party. Van Dam talked about it on a Belgian talk show which you have to see, if only for his impression of Stallone.
When Stallone was making Expendables 2 and wanted Van Dam to be the villain , VD stipulated he would only say yes if Seagal wasn’t casted under any circumstances . Given Stallone likely hated Seagal as much as anyone in the business, I imagine that wasn’t a hard concession.
@_Gambitute I can see Sly's response now: "Is that all? I thought you were going to ask for something difficult." But, in that slurred mumble that he does.
@_Gambitute Stallone wanted Seagal for the first part but Seagal didn't want to be part of it. Sly and Seagal are friends. Seagal even congratulated Sly on instagram for his birthday last year. You don't know what you're talking about.
I lived in Jackson, KY when he filmed Fire Down Below. He wanted to use the high school football field to land his helicopter when he came in to shoot, and got turned down flat. Things must have gotten tense, because every time he came in to film city cops showed up at the field to arrest him if he tried to land there. The school system had just spent over a million bucks renovating the field and stadium, and they didn't want it destroyed just to shorten his commute.
That's a smart move by the town of Jackson... While the weight of a helicopter transferred through its skid tubes to the field PROBABLY wouldn't have damaged the field, The added weight of Segal DEFINITELY would have trashed the field 😂
His move to Japan as far as I understand or rather some RUclipsrs who looked into it insinuated was actually because he wanted to dodge the American draft for Vietnam War.
He WAS parodied in South Park, and they make his tiny legs dance. Because of his obesity, they made his body larger than most models but kept his legs small because they knew he never exercised. They even preserved his mumbling voice and depicted him as an insecure sensitive man who does anti-bullying seminars.
I don't what it is that makes Steven Seagal documentaries so entertaining but I think I've watched almost a dozen different ones at this point and they never get old.
I feel terrible for his Japanese wife and children. The dude took all of the family's savings and just abandoned them? What an awful human being. I'd like to hear more about that. Did they ever see any of the money he made later on when he became a star? Did he ever make it up to them for being a terrible father and husband?
His absolute lack of ability to properly speak Japanese also tells you that he never really cared about Japan, he just wanted to use it to prop himself up. Japanese people I know cringe when they hear him try to speak Japanese.
He also has three kids by the model and actress Kelly LeBrock who was married to him for awhile and he wrecked that marriage by using her as a punching bag. Supposedly, one of the reasons she quit acting was because makeup artists had to cover bruises on her face and hairline all the time. He's a real POS.
1:10 my personal favorite Segal story was him teaching Anderson Silva the front face kick. Segal can’t even lift his foot past his waist and wants us to believe he’s out there teaching front face kicks 🤦♂️
Are you people that lazy to not do some basic 5 minutes of fact checking? You can easily find footage of Seagal in the 80s and 90s throwing high front kicks. Lyoto Machida also CONFIRMED that Seagal helped him refine his front kicks. This is easily verifiable.
@nashbullet3213Literally just told you that Lyoto Machida and his brother Chinzo both confirmed that Seagal helped Lyoto refine his kick. That's not me being a "groupie", that's literally their confirmation and statements. Seagal didn't "invent" a new kick either. He simply helped them refine the setup and delivery of the kick.
One of the greatest debates of my Jr High school years was "who will win in a fight between Segal and Van Damme?" As a young teenage boy it was quite the debate. Looking back with more experience it was clear JCVD would dominate.
That was a joke debate we had back during my senior year of high school in 1992. Everyone was already accusing Segal of being fat.I felt bad for him, so I was on team Segal out of solidarity for a fellow pudgebucket. Honestly, I'd only seen one of each of their movies at that point in my life (Bloodsport and Hard to Kill) and I thought they were both ridiculously bad. I would only see one more of each of their films after that (Hard Target and Under Siege) and neither disabuse me of the notion that their movies were still ridiculously bad.
You forgot one thing: The absolute best film of Seagal's career - Executive Decision. Which was a genius move that cashed in perfectly on the timing of audiences reaching peak Segal nonsense fatigue by playing that one absolutely perfect cinematic bait and switch. Starting the movie with Segal playing a standard Seagal character to the audible eye roll of everyone in the cinema, only for moments late to unceremoniously kill off his character and hand the reigns of the movie to the infinitely more liked and talented Kurt Russel and to excited cheers from the that same audience. It was frankly brilliant. And that is how I will always remember Steven Seagal. The one action star the entire audience disliked so much you could actually pull a bait and switch and the audience will love you for it!
Everybody loved Steven Seagal at the time when executive decision came out no audience was giving an eye roll that was at the height of his Fame and it was amazing he was in a movie with Kurt Russell when he died in that movie it was shocking you are rewriting history based on what you think of Steven Seagal now
Absolutely! I was a Jr in high school when "Out for Justice" was new and basically every dude in the school could quote most of the scenes. If he went off into the wilderness, he'd be like the Steve Gutenberg of action, people would randomly muse "Whatever happend to that guy?" He also might have had Chuck Norris type joke books.
From time to time I remember this one anecdote Rob Schneider said about Seagal on a podcast (Steve-O's, maybe?) : They were shooting a movie on the same location and Seagal, after disappearing for hours, kicks his trailer door open and proudly exclaims: "I just read the best script ever written." So they ask him: "Okay, who wrote it?" His reply: "I did."
I remember another story where Seagal ignored the set team's warning that the set wasn't ready. He ignored them, walked through a fake door that lead to some water below and took a dive. Dude was a walking clown.
When I was a kid, I admired how brutal and visceral some of Seagal's early movies fight scenes look. I had no idea he is actually hurting the stuntmen to achieve that.
5:27 Fun fact. In Russia in the 1990s, the film Above the Law was sometimes sold on VHS under the title Nico: Above the Law, and films like Hard to Kill, Marked for Death, and Out for Justice sometimes simply titled Nico 2, Nico 3 and so on on VHS. The films weren't always translated into russian language well, so we, the average viewer, didn't pay much attention.
That's hilarious, they did stuff like that with foreign movies in the west as well. But because Steven Seagal plays the same character in every movie they can all be passed off as sequels in foreign countries 😂
I met him in the mid 90s at a party. I made a crack behind his back about his weight and he overheard. His security (yes, he went to a birthday party at someone’s house with security) had to keep him from hitting me.
@MyHam-os4bqdoesn't Steven Seagal have any? 😂 I thought he was a the Master of ikido and being a cop. Snapping necks and cashing checks 🌝and getting crimes off the street
Came here to say that! He could've gone bald naturally and played some great co-star roles. Imagine him throwing one-liners with Statham in some buddy cop film. I would've paid to see it. What a waste.
Drinker, this is your BEST Crash and Burn video ever man! Insanely hilarious as you know how to do so masterfully and true! You ROCK 😆🤣🤘Thank you man! 👊🏻
@pepperpeterpiperpickled9805 main character syndrome refers more to people always wanting to be the center of attention and therefore also be the main character in someone else's life.
The stars who got to play adversaries in Steven's movies like Tommy Lee Jones, Gary Busey, Michael Caine and Kris Kristofferson were often quite impressive. Especially Tommy in Under Siege.
A "hero" needs a good villain, and to carry the acting load. Movies that suffered were ones without a good villain. Under Siege 2 and Glimmer Man, for instance.
4:24 - The same Sean Connery who famously disarmed and knocked out gangster Johnny Stompanato, the jealous boyfriend of his co-star Lana Turner, who threatened Connery with a gun on a movie set in 1957. I’m not sure he needed fight training.
Sean was also a semi-professional bodybuilder back before gear was widely available (I’m not anti-roids; if people are willing to take the risk of dropping dead in their 30s or 40s for bodybuilding fame now that’s their choice), so his physique was almost certainly naturally-gained and maintained muscle. He was a strong young man, and I’m 1,000% sure that he was more than capable of handling himself in a fight.
Seagal may no longer be a guarantee on the movie #'s, but he is a hit-machine on RUclips content for any creator. This should hit 1M by end of the week.
I still remember his short-lived reality show, "Steven Seagal: Lawman" that resulted in him getting sued if I remember correctly back in the early 2000s.
The infamous "puppy crushing" incident where he rammed a wall with a Bearcat and the suspects puppy was behind it and was crushed. That was the official shark jumping moment for Segal.
I remember getting a Steven Seagal DVD box with 4 of his movies for my birthday. One of the movies was a Korean movie in which he appeared like 1-2 minutes....
Not sure who you're talking about, but the video is about Steven Seagall. In relation to the group 'men', Seagall's status is 'refused to be collected'. 😉
My dad did that once, I found out my mom and I were the second family, not that he stuck with us either lol, he was dead by 34. Couldn't believe that bastard had 3 other sons besides me.
Interesting piece of trivia actually. Did you know Under Siege is the only one of his films to be Oscar nominated; Best Sound Effects Editing and Best Sound
It recently got an Arrow Video release in 4K and is 50% off this month at Barnes & Noble. For me, I never seen any of his movies and would rather spend my money on something else
@AttmayNo, at Karate, Judo and Aikijujutsu skills. You can find the interviews yourself and see that I'm telling the truth. Erik Paulson, Ricco Rodriguez, Razor Rey Garcia, Alex Pereira's coach Rangel Farias and Plineo, Anderson Silva, Lyoto and Chinzo Machida, kickboxer Ron Smoorenburg, all of these decorated fighters have confirmed Seagal as the real deal. If you think you know better than they do, then you're clearly just in denial.
Brendan Fraser, Nicholas Cage, Robert Downey Jr, Maculay Culkin, Adam Sandler, Channing Tatum, Matthew McConoughey, and Robert Pattinson would be good candidates for such a series. Some would argue Shia LaBeouf, Vince Vaughan, Kevin Costner, and Mel Gibson too but they're still divisive in a lot of circles so they're more of a grey area.
I actually enjoy movies like Hard to Kill and Under Siege just for how over the top they are. For God's sake, Seagal's character in Hard to Kill is literally named Mason Storm (not kidding) and makes every woman he interacts with fall hopelessly in love with him.
He does that in every film he makes. Some girl barely in her 20s who has to fawn over him and act like she wants him, or so actual sex scenes. The guy is a creep.
I like those movies too. His characters weren't as ridiculous when he was young (and we were young too). But the guy is still in character till today, that's sad, lol
About 10 years ago I was in Thailand walking through the jungle with a guide. He was taking me to this ex Buddhist monk who did stick poke tattoos in a shack in the bush. When I made it to the hut, I looked around and the entire place, from wall to ceiling was covered in Buddha statues and Thai art. In the middle of the wall was one, giant headshot of Stevan Seagal with flowers decorating the picture frame. It was one of the most random things I’ve ever seen. I think about it sometimes.
I remember Steven Seagal's early films, they were definitely a breath of fresh air in martial arts action. He wasn't engaging in roundhouse kick duels with opponents like Chuck and Jean-Claude. Instead he was snapping limbs, stabbing heads and ripping throats. It was unlike anything else at the time. He absolutely deserves to be made fun of but there was a time when he seemed like a legit badass.
Yeah tbf it was different. It helped that Akido works well in front of budget fight films. You can choreograph fights seems that look great close combat wise and not have to worry about if you can see punch and kicks missing.
Reportly, at the cast and crew screening of "Executive Decision," when his character got sucked out of the plane to his death, literally the entire theater cheered.
I remember being on a field trip and Steven was supposed to make an appearance. He ended up just staying in his trailer. I was a very disappointed 7 year old.
Steven Seagal: the only actor to stay in character for almost 40 years.
Fergawd's sake, someone yell "Cut!"
😆 so true.
Daniel Day Lewis has nothing on Steven.
Bruce Willis
@Carbon-BASED-Lifeform no dude, her might be borderline one dimensional on the stage, but when they yell cut, he doesnt go around telling everyone he saved the world by convincing the 5th element that the world was worth saving.
His chair is the best supporting character in the history of Hollywood
Forged by Dwarven Gods. A rare alloy of Vibranium, Unobtanium, Adamantium, and weapons grade Tungsten.
Supporting actor...ah....
There is actually one movie where he fights while sitting on a chair. Granted, it's a very short scene, but still, c'mon 😆
Your comment made me laugh out loud.😂
Honestly, he’d be perfect for the role of Professor X if they choose to re-reboot, X-Men for good….
Seagal knows Karate, Kungfu, Aikido, and Taekwondo and lots of other dangerous words
This wins top comment of this video 😭
Master of bullshido
He’s no Larry Dickems tho
And the Grand Master of Bullshido.
He's also a master of Dimac, taught to him by the great Count Dante himself.
I actually ran into him in Cancun in '92...he was walking out of a club as I was getting ready to go in. Seemed like a decent guy...shook my hand when I told him I enjoyed his movies which was the truth. I found his early movies entertaining. His theatrical version of aikido looked good on camera and was a nice change from flying spin kicks to the head. I had to marvel years later when he got fat and instead of losing weight, wore a long coat the whole time to hide his gut. Pretty sad
I met Cosby in California back in the early 2000’s. I too thought he was a great guy at the time.
I met Weinstein in 2005. When I woke up my backside was sore. 3/10 wouldn't recommend.
I met Epstein last month…
My husband and his friend met him in New Orleans before he started fall. He wasn't really a fan but his friend was. My husband said when his friend ran up excited to talk to him that he was very friendly to him, talked with him for a good 15min, seeming to be genuinely smiling the whole time, took pictures and gave him an autograph.
I was pretty young when he was popular and thus in awe of the action star.
When I got older and started seeing all the harm and chaos I was just disgusted.
Now days, knowing his full story (which is everywhere).... The draft-dodging, harassing/assaulting women, harming coworkers and abandoning his wife and multiple children....
It just makes me loathe him.
Steven Seagal is the type of guy this series was tailor made for.
100%!
Tailor made in XXXL
@Rondo2ooo😂
Maybe he‘ll finally celebrate his comeback once „The Blob“ gets a remake…
When I think of epic crash and burns personally I think of Sean Young!
This is the most entertaining video starring Steven Seagull in the last 20 years.
Not entirely true, the montage of him running still takes the cake.
Ehhh. I'd say either a close second would be any of the Jason Brant videos of So Bad It's Good watching most if not all of Seagulls movies. Their commentary make the movies enjoyable.
Watch Space Ice videos, far more entertaining.
40
It sounds like OP hasn't seen Space ice or Red eye reviews of Seagal.
Steven Seagal was a member of the Gravy Seals as a part of the elite Meal Team Six 😂
Dude....BRILLIANT!!😂
Ha ha 😄
I didn't know me and the seagull were in the same unit.
Lol
Salute.
He’s got a thousand island stare
Fellow viewers, at 12:01 you maybe excused in thinking that Critical Drinker just looped the guy getting thrown out of the window. However, you would be wrong...the movie Kill Switch was legitimately edited to show the man flying through a window 12 times.
🤣
Space Ice mentioned that, I thanked him to not make me watch this mess.
Leaving that party when Van Dam challenged him may be the most intelligent decision Seagal ever made.
Knowing that JCVD got into an argument with two heads bigger Dolph 'Chemist and Kickboxing Champ' Lundgren on the "Universal Soldier" set and they respectively injured each other, I would say that Seagal would have been in for a rude surprise that evening.
@Vurt.451it's fucking JCVD, the ultimate, he could beat Seagal by accident and not even realize it. And then off to dance in a bar in Thailand.
@Vurt.451 Oh for sure. That’s a poser walking into a beating.
@JKM395who's Van Dam?
A coked up JCVD
The greatest method actor ever. He plays Steven Seagal for 73 years. That's impressive.
And yet, I never found him convincing...
I call him Steven Seagull, because all he does is flap around and squawk and eat.
@SSJ_Derp And afterwards produces nothing but shit...
@petersjerp9395 “well I’m sorry to hear that, ‘cause now, I will snatch every motherfuckin’ birthday” (EDIT: then he takes a bite of a carrot and does a goofy dance for Daddy Putin)
And through his ever changing clothes size.
Steven Segal is 1/4 Cherokee. He weighs 1/4th the weight of a Cherokee Jeep.
I think he’s half Cherokee now
And is probably bought by 1/4 the people who'd ever buy one.
😂😂😂
But he needs 4 times the maintenance.
🤣🤣🤣
My older brother went to watch "Executive Decision" when it came out in the cinema. I remember him telling me that at the scene where Segal dies (it's early in the film), everyone in the audience got up and cheered, still makes me laugh to this day.
Yessssss. Please do Ezra Miller next.
Great call.
I think he already did
Mad Goose Wizard!
He did already you silly 🪿
Who? Not quite the once icon that used to draw crowds.
It's worth nothing that the two films that moved Seagal up a level, first Above the Law and then Under Siege, were both directed by "The Fugitive" director Andrew Davis. If you watch Under Siege, you can see that the good actors (Tommy Lee Jones, Gary Busey) and the entire movie are acting around Seagal.
It's possible, just possible, that it was the director and everyone else on set who was what made these movies work.
This would be a fact. Many greats in that barr floppy arms.
Not to mention the huge draw Erika Eleniak brought to the movie.
I mean, if I'm being honest with myself, Seagal wasn't bad in Under Siege. Sure, you can already smell his ego with how he goes through the whole movie without suffering a scratch until he got anchored, but the movie as a whole was still a guilty pleasure for me to rewatch time and time again. Did Tommy, Gary and a certain Cake scene elevate the movie? Most certainly. But it just feels like a fun time in general for me.
Then again, Under Siege 1 and 2 are the ONLY Steven Seagal movies I've ever seen. Never really cared for the guy or his other movies.
Watch the first 40 min of executive decision
It will give you a glimpse of what might have been
You mean to say that the market of Seagal films was saturated after Under Siege 1? Possible. I mean it's its own genre... How many times can you swap actors before you start seeing the pattern...?
Space Ice must be proud of this piece of art.
Cue the Van Damme dancing montage. 😁
😂
"Rob Schneider"
@spaceice
Every time Steven Seagal makes a movie, an angel learns bullshido.
I can't believe you didn't mention his Reggae Album.
"Mon the Punani"
critical coper crying about russia lmao
Is.......that an actual thing?
@brucelucasjr5856
Yes 😂
@brucelucasjr5856 ruclips.net/video/vLe_BZ1mo3I/video.html
He taught me the “close your eyes when you shoot” technique.
The flinch technique, a classic.
You should also close your eyes when trying to cut someone. Just flail around randomly. I guarantee that it works.
Wasn't he also the one who introduced that ridiculous side-ways aim that all the wanna-be gangster rappers adopted as being "cool"? I remember seeing him in one of his first movies, running behind two other men while pointing his gun side-ways and over their heads at the "target", a way of aiming that makes it hard to hit the side of a barn at 10 feet, let alone a person.
@tjroelsma Great way to facilitate a casing jam in a semi-auto pistol though.
@tjroelsma Tilting your guns is older I think. Tarantino also likes it. And for whatever reason it is a mechanic in Escape From Tarkov but I don t remember ever seeing a real gun like that.
Bringing in 80million on a 50million budget would be a huge success by marvel standards today
"Why are you laughing?! That number is bigger than the other! So of course its good!"
As Drinker has explained several times - you need to roughly double the budget to account for marketing and distribution costs.
@incurableromantic4006 Yeah but what's better? The Marvels bringing $206 million with a $300-374 million budget or bringing in $80 million with a $50 million budget?
@incurableromantic4006 I would say more then double, you need to take in account that international movie cut is worse for them then domestic, also marketing cost is never included in the budget so prabobly 2.5 or 3x the cost to break even id say
@incurableromantic4006this was the 90s though, I doubt the marketing budgets were that expensive
Absolute yes to the Production Hell on Never Say Never Again.
That’s one story where the story of how it got made is more interesting than the final film.
But if you think the filming of Never Say Never Again was mad, that has nothing on the absolute shitshow that is Casino Royale 1967.
And under it all..... it was just a reboot of Thunderball.
Octopussy was the better Bond movie! I will take Bond dressed up as a clown over Largo dressed like a tennis snob in cheap remake every day of the week! 😂
@joshslater2426 But, Casino Royale has Peter Sellers in it. That's got to be worth it's weight in gold.
It was a shit movie
I’ve seen every RUclips story about Steven Seagal…and I won’t get tired of more lmao 🤣🤣💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Ever spent an hour on the mats?
That Seagal / Van Damme fight should have been on pay per view. He could even let Van Damme get drunk again to make it more fair.
Seagal would lose a fight against a staircase at this point
Go listen to the Sylvester Stallone interview where he tells the story as the party was at his house. Seagal left the party and went to a bar. JCVD followed and challenged him there too and he again left.
According to Sly, very wise of him not to engage because he would get his ass kicked.
@donnyal681 Seagull, "I am a blackbelt."
Van Damn, " Watch as I do the perfect split between two semi's"
@donnyal681 JCVD tailed him to the bar hahaha? Dayum.
Seagal would fight dirty and likely blind JCVD
Don't forget, he was once a Sheriff's Deputy too! Steven Seagal:Lawman was a surreal experience that proved that there is nothing this man can't do, poorly.
so... he fought crime sitting? of the robbers were very accomodating too? or the female police staff eeeeee...
how it went?
I remember a late night tv show where the name Seagal came up, he apparently visited a well known cop bar!he hung up a picture of himself on a wall with decorated police officers!after he left, they didnt take it down... they Shot it off the wall!
Dwayne Johnson the rock can do what he screw up. Many times better
I used to watch that show!
Shame on Drinker for forgetting that part of his life!
This should have ended with a Seagal running montage.
And him flinching when shooting a pistol
He poops standing up straight, with his hands on his hips.
Flappy Slappy GO!
By @spaceice
The most fun I get out of him is watching quick recaps on the Space Ice channel.
Only thing we can give him credit for is that he never stopped with these movies, there seem to be thousands of them...
When I clicked the video I fully expected "MEGA BLOCKBUSTER HIT MOVE WHERE HE SHOWED THE WORLD..."
I was kind of disappointed
i understood that reference
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It took me a minute to realize it was not SpaceIce.
ohhhhhhh shit
"Crash And Burn - The Steven Seagal Story" is the Critical Drinker mega-blockbuster hit video where he showed the world the epic rise and fall of Sensei Seagal!
Space iceeeeeeee!😅
SLAPPITY SLAP!
Fa sho! 😂
Lol….was gonna chime in about SpaceIce too. His takedowns are so damn good you’ll pee a little. 😂.
And he’s convinced Seagal’s career is just one giant money laundering scheme. Which I love.
You wouldnt happen to have seen a space ice video now would you? XD
6:19 Gary Busey and Tommy Lee Jones do all the heavy lifting in Under Siege.
Erika Eleniak had a fair bit on her... shoulders as well
Don't forget the girl that jumps out the cake!! 😂
"Keep the faith, Strannix."
Is under Siege worth watching even if I think Seagal is a walking joke?
@harryvass9018 Yup! For better or worse, it's one of those action movie classics.
Here in Japan all his movies were marketed as a single series with 沈黙 (silence) in the title. My Japanese father in law loves them.
Segal would write a furious letter but his stunt double wasn't available to walk up the stairs for him.
💀
I remember seeing that clip from some movie he did. He literally had a stunt guy walk up some stairs for him. So lazy.
@mpeacraft8585 not purely lazy. Just an overweight clumsy oaf with bad knees. All you have to see is any scene of him walking down the street and that is pretty obvious.
Or pick up the pen.
Or learn how to write
“On Deadly Ground” is one of the best unintentional comedies I’ve ever seen, up there with “The Room” for the ratio of artist’s ego to talent.
Great supporting cast in Deadly Ground. Michael Caine. R. Lee Ermey. Billy Bob Thornton. John C. Mcginley. One thing his hit movies had going for them was he spent money to get good bad guys. Busey and Jones in Under Siege ate that movie alive.
Tommy Wiseau didn't have an ego, he just had no idea what he was doing.
"On Deadly Ground" Oh so that's what we're calling where we put the scale he stands on? Gotcha
@jimjones308 Billy Bob Thornton has a small role in On Deadly Ground, too. My head canon is that his character in Landman, who works for an oil company, is the same guy. (I don't remember if he died in On Deadly Ground and I have no desire to rewatch it to make sure.)
@thecandlemaker1329 Thinking he had what it took to write, star in (in his mind as a dashing leading man no less), and direct a movie, plus making that weird close-up head shot of himself the artwork, and he didn't have an ego? The Room might be the most pure example ever of a movie substituting for a person's ego.
There is no beginning to Steven Seagal's talent.
😂
But is there a middle or end?
This....I've been waiting for! Can't wait to see this mega blockbuster RUclips video
He really was a legend in his own lunchtime.
He was taught the art of the fry cook by Ronald McDonald himself
Wasn't bad in Under Siege. Can't say that about anything else he ever did. Easiest target ever. So, why take the shot now?
Would that be because he cleared the buffet by himself in record time?.
@JustMeAP1Michael Caine must have spent the money he got from his two Disney pictures pretty quickly if he went from those to *On Deadly Ground.*
@Attmay Your timeframe is off...
The Muppet Christmas Carol (1992)
On Deadly Ground was released (1994)
The Muppet Treasure Island (1996)
The Van Dam incident actually happened at a Sylvester Stallone party. Van Dam talked about it on a Belgian talk show which you have to see, if only for his impression of Stallone.
Van Damme - Rob Van Dam is the wrestler. ;)
When Stallone was making Expendables 2 and wanted Van Dam to be the villain , VD stipulated he would only say yes if Seagal wasn’t casted under any circumstances . Given Stallone likely hated Seagal as much as anyone in the business, I imagine that wasn’t a hard concession.
@mrblonde609 And Van Damme is a talented ballerina! 🤗
@_Gambitute I can see Sly's response now: "Is that all? I thought you were going to ask for something difficult." But, in that slurred mumble that he does.
@_Gambitute Stallone wanted Seagal for the first part but Seagal didn't want to be part of it. Sly and Seagal are friends. Seagal even congratulated Sly on instagram for his birthday last year. You don't know what you're talking about.
I lived in Jackson, KY when he filmed Fire Down Below. He wanted to use the high school football field to land his helicopter when he came in to shoot, and got turned down flat. Things must have gotten tense, because every time he came in to film city cops showed up at the field to arrest him if he tried to land there. The school system had just spent over a million bucks renovating the field and stadium, and they didn't want it destroyed just to shorten his commute.
That's a smart move by the town of Jackson...
While the weight of a helicopter transferred through its skid tubes to the field PROBABLY wouldn't have damaged the field, The added weight of Segal DEFINITELY would have trashed the field 😂
@ColdWarAviator hahahaah I knew where that was heading mid-sentence!
A million dollars just for some grass? And that was in back then money
How hard up were they for a shooting location that they went to Kentucky?
@theonlyegg The movie was set in Jackson and Breathitt County.
No words. No words...
"Crash and Burn" is the Steven SEAGAL
mega blockbuster hit movie where he showed the world ...
Mega blockbuster hit movie
…that he absolutely doesn’t give a f#$& 😂
I came here for this comment 😂
_Mega_ blockbuster _hit movie_ , where he showed, the _world_ , you fool.
@A_Stereotypical_Heretic You're right. Edited (thought I first wrote it, but no).
Seagal invested his own martial art called bulshido.
Good one!
😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Akidon't
@hepcat620 😂😂😂😂😂
I love how it’s just brushed past that he literally abandoned his family in Japan and fled to the US
His move to Japan as far as I understand or rather some RUclipsrs who looked into it insinuated was actually because he wanted to dodge the American draft for Vietnam War.
@whitegoose2017 Yes that is exactly what was mentioned in the video we both watched
@dinoblacklane1640Are you insinuating that he moved to Japan to dodge the American draft for Vietnam war?
@jakeforrest
that is exactly what was mentioned in the video we both watched
@whitegoose2017 That has nothing to do with the OP’s point. Point is he married this woman, had like 3 kids with her then abandoned his children.
You went an entire 14 minute video without using that dreadful "you sure about that?" clip. I'm impressed.
how is it ‘dreadful’…?
its hilarious!
@crazysilly2914imagine giving your own comment a thumbs up
@oswaldsghost7642 yes I gave it two thumbs up! lol
You sure about that?
Damn this guy sounds like a real life version of how South Park would depict a celebrity.
Oh he set the standard for Hollywood douche bags! Absolutely legendary 😂
He WAS parodied in South Park, and they make his tiny legs dance. Because of his obesity, they made his body larger than most models but kept his legs small because they knew he never exercised. They even preserved his mumbling voice and depicted him as an insecure sensitive man who does anti-bullying seminars.
I have the holy four: Cartman, Trump, Boggie and Seagal.
And they called him Steven SeBoomBoom lol
@KingAlpaca Trump's body double is short and fat. That's who you're thinking of.
SPACE ICE!!! It’s the Steven Sagal mega blockbuster hit movie thats so amazing, it slaps you while just sitting down and fast cutting
I can hear his voice
Where he showed the world
The GOAT ! Fking space ice is awesome
@jones82176ahhahahah
@jones82176 The mega blockbuster hit movie
Whenever my day turns to shit and all depressing, I look for any Steven Seagal video on RUclips and read the comments section to cheer me back up
That’s the same for me,but it’s all Hollywood stars not just Steven
You should watch Under Siege 3!
This should be the premier episode for this channel
A video about Seagal that isn’t space ice? It’s gonna be a MEGA BLOCKBUSTER HIT!
WHERE HE SHOWED THE WORLD
I know its a Steven Seagal video but not mention Erika Eleniak cake scene in Under siege breaks my heart
I bought that movie just for that scene!
Ahhhh....
Bro. We had to sneak the vhs tape. Hahahaha
Her absence was why the sequel bombed. ='[.]'=
I was waiting for it too.
I don't what it is that makes Steven Seagal documentaries so entertaining but I think I've watched almost a dozen different ones at this point and they never get old.
Unlike Seagal, who got old
You always learn something new!
See the master of bullshido in action is tantalizing
Watch the Tom Segura comedy routine on Seagal, you will be badly injured if not outright die laughing.
Sensei Seagal. The man walks with an air of confidence rarely seen in this day and age.
I feel terrible for his Japanese wife and children. The dude took all of the family's savings and just abandoned them? What an awful human being. I'd like to hear more about that. Did they ever see any of the money he made later on when he became a star? Did he ever make it up to them for being a terrible father and husband?
Yes he did. He left them. Such a gift.
In hindsight they kinda made out.
He indirectly made it up by him not directly being there. I feel sorry for any woman that’s ever been alone in a room with him 😒
His absolute lack of ability to properly speak Japanese also tells you that he never really cared about Japan, he just wanted to use it to prop himself up.
Japanese people I know cringe when they hear him try to speak Japanese.
He also has three kids by the model and actress Kelly LeBrock who was married to him for awhile and he wrecked that marriage by using her as a punching bag. Supposedly, one of the reasons she quit acting was because makeup artists had to cover bruises on her face and hairline all the time. He's a real POS.
1:10 my personal favorite Segal story was him teaching Anderson Silva the front face kick. Segal can’t even lift his foot past his waist and wants us to believe he’s out there teaching front face kicks 🤦♂️
Yeah, he said he taught the same technique to Lyoto Machida. Machida's been doing front kicks since he was about 3 years old.
Are you people that lazy to not do some basic 5 minutes of fact checking?
You can easily find footage of Seagal in the 80s and 90s throwing high front kicks. Lyoto Machida also CONFIRMED that Seagal helped him refine his front kicks. This is easily verifiable.
@AztecUnshavenOh look, a Steven Seagal groupie spotted. Did he also create oxygen?😂
Here in Brazil so much people believes this shit. Lol
@nashbullet3213Literally just told you that Lyoto Machida and his brother Chinzo both confirmed that Seagal helped Lyoto refine his kick. That's not me being a "groupie", that's literally their confirmation and statements.
Seagal didn't "invent" a new kick either. He simply helped them refine the setup and delivery of the kick.
One of the greatest debates of my Jr High school years was "who will win in a fight between Segal and Van Damme?" As a young teenage boy it was quite the debate. Looking back with more experience it was clear JCVD would dominate.
What about Chuck Norris
@juliooquendo220no debate there! Chuck would beat them blindfolded, both hands behind his back, whilst reading a novel.
@juliooquendo220 If Chuck Norris jumps into the ocean, he does not get wet.
The ocean gets Chuck Norrised.
Star Wars vs Star Trek
That was a joke debate we had back during my senior year of high school in 1992. Everyone was already accusing Segal of being fat.I felt bad for him, so I was on team Segal out of solidarity for a fellow pudgebucket.
Honestly, I'd only seen one of each of their movies at that point in my life (Bloodsport and Hard to Kill) and I thought they were both ridiculously bad. I would only see one more of each of their films after that (Hard Target and Under Siege) and neither disabuse me of the notion that their movies were still ridiculously bad.
You forgot one thing: The absolute best film of Seagal's career - Executive Decision. Which was a genius move that cashed in perfectly on the timing of audiences reaching peak Segal nonsense fatigue by playing that one absolutely perfect cinematic bait and switch. Starting the movie with Segal playing a standard Seagal character to the audible eye roll of everyone in the cinema, only for moments late to unceremoniously kill off his character and hand the reigns of the movie to the infinitely more liked and talented Kurt Russel and to excited cheers from the that same audience. It was frankly brilliant.
And that is how I will always remember Steven Seagal. The one action star the entire audience disliked so much you could actually pull a bait and switch and the audience will love you for it!
I saw it in the cinema when I was a teenager expecting a Steven Seagal movie XD
Everybody loved Steven Seagal at the time when executive decision came out no audience was giving an eye roll that was at the height of his Fame and it was amazing he was in a movie with Kurt Russell when he died in that movie it was shocking you are rewriting history based on what you think of Steven Seagal now
Thanks, I'll have to give this "Executive Decision" a closer look. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Apparently Russel refused to work with him due to wife beating charges so he got written out.
It was a delight. I remember being so pleased with his early exit.
If Seagal had just retired from acting after the 90s, I think he'd be remembered more fondly
Yeah as the guy who made 1980s and 1990s cult classics
Absolutely! I was a Jr in high school when "Out for Justice" was new and basically every dude in the school could quote most of the scenes.
If he went off into the wilderness, he'd be like the Steve Gutenberg of action, people would randomly muse "Whatever happend to that guy?"
He also might have had Chuck Norris type joke books.
As a Kelly LeBrock fan back in the Weird Science era, I'll never forget what this fek'n cretin did to her!
or at all
Facts i still like marked for death so much
From time to time I remember this one anecdote Rob Schneider said about Seagal on a podcast (Steve-O's, maybe?) :
They were shooting a movie on the same location and Seagal, after disappearing for hours, kicks his trailer door open and proudly exclaims:
"I just read the best script ever written."
So they ask him:
"Okay, who wrote it?"
His reply:
"I did."
I remember another story where Seagal ignored the set team's warning that the set wasn't ready. He ignored them, walked through a fake door that lead to some water below and took a dive. Dude was a walking clown.
That story is so funny, I think about it frequently! What a prize tit that man really is.
ruclips.net/video/V2B9jyZTp4w/video.html
I don't believe the story only cause it implies Seagal can read.
That’s the best story and impersonation of Seagal too. Well worth looking up!
When I was a kid, I admired how brutal and visceral some of Seagal's early movies fight scenes look. I had no idea he is actually hurting the stuntmen to achieve that.
RUclipsr Space Ice will be loving this!!!
5:27 Fun fact. In Russia in the 1990s, the film Above the Law was sometimes sold on VHS under the title Nico: Above the Law, and films like Hard to Kill, Marked for Death, and Out for Justice sometimes simply titled Nico 2, Nico 3 and so on on VHS. The films weren't always translated into russian language well, so we, the average viewer, didn't pay much attention.
That's hilarious, they did stuff like that with foreign movies in the west as well.
But because Steven Seagal plays the same character in every movie they can all be passed off as sequels in foreign countries 😂
In Brazil it is also called "Nico - Above the law" (Nico - Acima da lei).
Here in Italy the title was just “Nico”.
Out for Justice and Under Siege 2 were awesome.
If I watched a Seagal film in badly translated Russian right now, I'd understand it just as well as I would watching it in English.
We've all been waiting for this one
The Will Saso impersonations where the best
Will nailed it before Steven Seagal went full Steven Seagal.
Amen! I loved the election 2000 skit where Sasso's Seagal was physically attacking people who didn't vote for Joe Lieberman.
I still imitate breaking people's neck like that. 😂 Few get it now.
YES! The sleepovers!
Another great crash and burn video, entertaining, funny and can't wait to see more videos like these
Young Steven Seagal always looked like a live action Kronk, except without Kronk’s lovable charm.
KROONNNKKKK PULL THA LEVAAAA
Just ask women and aIIegedIy underage girIs about Stevie's charm😂
I met him in the mid 90s at a party. I made a crack behind his back about his weight and he overheard. His security (yes, he went to a birthday party at someone’s house with security) had to keep him from hitting me.
I suspect you may have hit upon the reason why he had security with him.
Mehh this sounds like a story steven segal would tell.
@Bunsen-s8jonly because he lacks the self-awareness to know that the story doesn’t make him look good
@duffthimblesporkI was young and he did come dressed in a Native American garb and was dating his nanny. So I made a crack. Not a proud moment.
I think I can smell shite
He could've had a Jason Statham type career but his ego killed it.
I mean Jason statham actually has talent tho
@MyHam-os4bqdoesn't Steven Seagal have any? 😂
I thought he was a the Master of ikido and being a cop.
Snapping necks and cashing checks 🌝and getting crimes off the street
Well, Jason, although he's been in a lot of action movies, some of them mindless but still fun, can actually act
@MyHam-os4bq but Steven requires constant cheese pizzas during firming 🙄
Came here to say that! He could've gone bald naturally and played some great co-star roles. Imagine him throwing one-liners with Statham in some buddy cop film. I would've paid to see it. What a waste.
Drinker, this is your BEST Crash and Burn video ever man! Insanely hilarious as you know how to do so masterfully and true! You ROCK 😆🤣🤘Thank you man! 👊🏻
00:28 I had to slow the video to 1/4 speed just to catch those lighting fast take down moves by Seagal.
Don’t forget the deadly techniques he taught to UFC champion, Anderson Silva.
Steven Seagal is what happens when you have insane ego with main character syndrome
I never got the term 'main character syndrome' arent we all the main characters in our own lives?
@pepperpeterpiperpickled9805 it's an issue when the subject pretends to be main characters in OTHER people's lives as well
@pepperpeterpiperpickled9805 main character syndrome refers more to people always wanting to be the center of attention and therefore also be the main character in someone else's life.
@andresmurillo7552 It should be called 'guest star syndrome' it's more scathing, like the guest star is forgetting he's not a main character.
He was the main character though, for 11 studio movies (WarnerBros).
Thought this was about Dan Bongino for a minute.
🤣
The stars who got to play adversaries in Steven's movies like Tommy Lee Jones, Gary Busey, Michael Caine and Kris Kristofferson were often quite impressive. Especially Tommy in Under Siege.
A "hero" needs a good villain, and to carry the acting load. Movies that suffered were ones without a good villain. Under Siege 2 and Glimmer Man, for instance.
I'm actually shocked there was no mention of his almost-decade-long marriage to Kelly LeBrock.
And the wife beating
Oh there's plenty of historians covering him in amazing detail not seen since Chris Chan, trust me.
Holy shit, I had no idea they were ever married.
I straight-up only knew Lebrock from Celebrity Guide to Wine, hosted by Bernard Erpicum
Same here, fully expected it to be covered. Feel a bit deflated now. Is Drinker losing it?
Or of the infamous "puppy crushing" incident that officially marked the jumping of the shark.
4:24 - The same Sean Connery who famously disarmed and knocked out gangster Johnny Stompanato, the jealous boyfriend of his co-star Lana Turner, who threatened Connery with a gun on a movie set in 1957. I’m not sure he needed fight training.
Sean Connery slapped his women harder than Seagal ever slapped a man
And Connery was still younger than Moore
I was reading that Connery trained in kyokushin karate. So he knows his shit if that's true.💯🤟🏻🥋
@theknowbot5000 That has what to do with the price of tea in China?
Sean was also a semi-professional bodybuilder back before gear was widely available (I’m not anti-roids; if people are willing to take the risk of dropping dead in their 30s or 40s for bodybuilding fame now that’s their choice), so his physique was almost certainly naturally-gained and maintained muscle. He was a strong young man, and I’m 1,000% sure that he was more than capable of handling himself in a fight.
Under Siege will always be one of my favorite movies
Seagal may no longer be a guarantee on the movie #'s, but he is a hit-machine on RUclips content for any creator. This should hit 1M by end of the week.
The comments are hilarious
nearly 600k in 14h.....XD
He is the ultimate lolcow. Many a yter profits greatly from the gift that keeps on giving.
You forgot to mention that Seagal is so powerful, that he single handedly propelled Space ice's career into high orbit.
"mega BLOCKbuster mo-vie"
@keysersoze7034 *hit movie..
WHERE HE SHOWS DA WORLD
Rob Schneider
Used to love space ice.
I still remember his short-lived reality show, "Steven Seagal: Lawman" that resulted in him getting sued if I remember correctly back in the early 2000s.
Tom Segura made fun of that show.
That seems to be a running theme: remember when Steven Seagal did x?
➡️ he got sued afterwards.
The infamous "puppy crushing" incident where he rammed a wall with a Bearcat and the suspects puppy was behind it and was crushed. That was the official shark jumping moment for Segal.
I remember getting a Steven Seagal DVD box with 4 of his movies for my birthday. One of the movies was a Korean movie in which he appeared like 1-2 minutes....
What kind of man leaves his wife and kids 🤬🤬🤬
The kind of man that thinks fame and fortune are more important than family and dignity.
A man who runs from his responsibilities is not tough.
Not sure who you're talking about, but the video is about Steven Seagall.
In relation to the group 'men', Seagall's status is 'refused to be collected'. 😉
So true 😢
My dad did that once, I found out my mom and I were the second family, not that he stuck with us either lol, he was dead by 34. Couldn't believe that bastard had 3 other sons besides me.
Under Siege was the only Steven Seagal movie I will still watch to this day.
into birthday cakes eh?😁
@rhetorical1488Navy uniforms 😉
Interesting piece of trivia actually. Did you know Under Siege is the only one of his films to be Oscar nominated; Best Sound Effects Editing and Best Sound
It recently got an Arrow Video release in 4K and is 50% off this month at Barnes & Noble. For me, I never seen any of his movies and would rather spend my money on something else
Under Siege 2 (I prefer the sequel), Marked For Death and The Glimmer Man are all equally awesome.
5:25 the 80s were so great, even the sight of Seagal running couldn't derail his career
This video was better and more entertaining than any movie Seagal ever starred in.
Seagal running is one of life's rare pleasures. It's a joy to behold.
just got off work and seeing this was a gold scar moment
10:34 just a reminder that gene lebell was a judo champion and legit respected martial artist
I liked his films up to On Deadly Ground and was devastated about all rumours. I wish he had been the person I thought he was!
The only deadly technique Seagal knows involves cholesterol.
hes a master heavyweight champion in... heavyweighting
Well there are current MMA hall of fame coaches that praised Seagal's skills.... but sure, I guess a youtuber knows better than they do lol.
@AztecUnshaven at what, scarfing down a Taco Bell taco with a single bite?
😂bizarre
@AttmayNo, at Karate, Judo and Aikijujutsu skills. You can find the interviews yourself and see that I'm telling the truth. Erik Paulson, Ricco Rodriguez, Razor Rey Garcia, Alex Pereira's coach Rangel Farias and Plineo, Anderson Silva, Lyoto and Chinzo Machida, kickboxer Ron Smoorenburg, all of these decorated fighters have confirmed Seagal as the real deal.
If you think you know better than they do, then you're clearly just in denial.
Suggestion for Drinker: Start a complimentary series called "The Fall and Rise" about stars' redemption stories too.
First person off the top of my head for that series would be Brendan Fraser.
@CharlemagneGuy127 RDJ?
Might be a short lived series, but a good idea
*complementary series
Brendan Fraser, Nicholas Cage, Robert Downey Jr, Maculay Culkin, Adam Sandler, Channing Tatum, Matthew McConoughey, and Robert Pattinson would be good candidates for such a series. Some would argue Shia LaBeouf, Vince Vaughan, Kevin Costner, and Mel Gibson too but they're still divisive in a lot of circles so they're more of a grey area.
He crashed and burned as soon as the 20th century ended.
We all looked around and were like, "Where did Segal go? "
The 21st century went woke 😂
He went to the closest all you can eat buffet. .... and never left
The straight to DVD bargain bin.
@cattysplat And that happened to Van Damme as well.
@StevenDavies-el8ssand that's why everyone's broke.
Nice! Good take.
I actually enjoy movies like Hard to Kill and Under Siege just for how over the top they are. For God's sake, Seagal's character in Hard to Kill is literally named Mason Storm (not kidding) and makes every woman he interacts with fall hopelessly in love with him.
He does that in every film he makes. Some girl barely in her 20s who has to fawn over him and act like she wants him, or so actual sex scenes. The guy is a creep.
Marked for Death is so ridiculous & good! Love the idea of Jamaican Voodoo Crime Lords (like Predator 2)
Reminds me of the Golgo 13 anime. I mean playing such a person is fine and all but actually believing it yourself... Not healthy.
I like those movies too. His characters weren't as ridiculous when he was young (and we were young too). But the guy is still in character till today, that's sad, lol
His early movies were great because he practically played a "Dirty Harry" type character, a cop that has to get down and dirty.
About 10 years ago I was in Thailand walking through the jungle with a guide. He was taking me to this ex Buddhist monk who did stick poke tattoos in a shack in the bush.
When I made it to the hut, I looked around and the entire place, from wall to ceiling was covered in Buddha statues and Thai art. In the middle of the wall was one, giant headshot of Stevan Seagal with flowers decorating the picture frame. It was one of the most random things I’ve ever seen. I think about it sometimes.
Wait... this is a really cool tattoo story. Did you end up getting Steven's face poked into your bicep?😂
Must have been a dartboard 🎯
'That guy is such a bell end.'
- An ex-Buddhist monk probably.
Haven't I heard that story in a movie ...?
@danelynch7171Nah. Nothing gay like that. Just movie quotes from Under Siege 1&2 on my lower back.
13:29 I spit my coffee everywhere, researched it, and then had a laugh for a good few minutes at how petty Steven actually is.
Space Ice's Seagal videos are some of the best comedy on RUclips.
I remember Steven Seagal's early films, they were definitely a breath of fresh air in martial arts action.
He wasn't engaging in roundhouse kick duels with opponents like Chuck and Jean-Claude. Instead he was snapping limbs, stabbing heads and ripping throats. It was unlike anything else at the time. He absolutely deserves to be made fun of but there was a time when he seemed like a legit badass.
SCREW-FAAAAACE!!!
BTM666-t7r I won't disagree but it lent itself well to fight choreography i.e. not realistic but entertaining
@mygawditsfullofstarrs *gouges eyes* AHHHHHH!!!
Yeah tbf it was different. It helped that Akido works well in front of budget fight films. You can choreograph fights seems that look great close combat wise and not have to worry about if you can see punch and kicks missing.
@mygawditsfullofstarrs Sure hope they weren't triplets...
Reportly, at the cast and crew screening of "Executive Decision," when his character got sucked out of the plane to his death, literally the entire theater cheered.
Oh damn I just commented thinking the movie was Air Force One..sheeeit....
@mygawditsfullofstarrs"GET OFF MY PLANE...SEAGAL."
Which is hilarious because that also might be his best acting role too.
Thought Seagals can fly. P
@johnepantsOh for DAMN sure...
That dankula clip always gets me
Agreed. 😆
I remember being on a field trip and Steven was supposed to make an appearance. He ended up just staying in his trailer. I was a very disappointed 7 year old.
13:17 poster reworks are always hilarious. He's obviously holding pistol. But they superimposed a shotgun
Ill see your 13:17 and raise you one 13:23.
MF is tri wielding! What a legend!
@curtrollI always think back to the Harold and Kumar posters. All are the same image but with a different item in Kumar's hand
5:49 that run 😂
Like a mentally challenged Jack Sparrow😅
It somehow looks better than Ezra Miller's running
Tom Cruz has a better run.
All I heard was Space Ice's duck noises 😂
Marked for Death is a guilty pleasure. I love the villain. And there is one of the best car chase scenes in that movie.
aw yeaaa Screwface 😂
I like The Glimmer Man for some reason
Now I must watch “On Deadly Ground”!!!
