Steven coming up for the native Indian population and the baddy is always some western Oil tycoon that wants the native's land and then Steven bumbling about 'saving the environment', much like those luny Al Gore climate alarmists.

      Oooo-- Oooooh-!

You'd remember him from the 2nd HOME ALONE film in a hotel scene with the kid. He dyes what's left of his hair Nazi-Blond ... then, combs it over from his left ear.

    Seagal is crazy on set. Several times he mumbled so bad on line delivery that the studio would dub his lines with a voice actor who tried to emulate Steven's voice. Sometimes Steven would not be in set so they had a body double stand in for the simple pick up shots. You can see these flubs on a lot of his B movies especially after 2010.
