Meh, his first 3 movies were pretty solid in that "hang your brain at the door and just have fun" kind of way.

From page: 5 'The Pitch'
If the tale of Steven Seagal's entanglement with the Italian-American Mafia were presented as a pitch for a movie, it would go something like this: Smart, good-looking, tall and trim HERO. A trained killer and former soldier of fortune, black belt in several deadly martial arts. Can kill with his eyelashes if necessary. Hero is targeted by MOBSTERS who try to shake him down for large sum of money. The mob's point man is a short, weasely JOE PESCI TYPE. But our hero is as righteous as he is taciturn. He tries to solve things peacefully by going to an HONORABLE OLD MOBSTER, but this man is an old-style "man of honor" and he can't talk reason with the gang of bad mobsters. After trashing and smashing a passel of mob underlings, the clever hero manages to outmaneuver the bad mobsters in court, using his quick wits and ingenious verbal combat techniques. The bad mobsters are found guilty and sent to jail for a very long time. Hero walks out of courtroom head held high, free from mob extortion and death threats. At the bottom of the courthouse steps, he links arms with the SHAPELY MOB PRINCESS who sees the shallow worthlessness of her former life and salivates to live in the Hero's righteous glow. That's the movie version, and perhaps this is emblematic of the heightened reality that Steven Seagal lived during his Hollywood career. Yakuza, drug lords, CIA assassins, black ops, rogue cops—the screen versions blended and blurred with the "facts" that Seagal presented to the public. Then he got involved with the real deal and found that made members of La Cosa Nostra are not as romantic or honorable as their celluloid counterparts, and they don't take direction. What Seagal failed to realize is that the Mafia is concerned with only one thing: money. They are not "men of honor," and they only do the right thing when it does right by them. As the FBI undercover tapes have shown, the mobsters were significantly less impressed with Seagal than he apparently was with them. Celebrities who pal around with mobsters for the bad-guy cache soon learn that this kind of friendship has a price tag, and often it's a running tab that's never satisfied. Fame means nothing to the mob, only fortune. Or as the fictional Michael Corleone, played by Al Pacino, says in the Godfather, "It's not personal ... It's strictly business." |

How can you call someone a loser and describe that you hate that person.... when you have never met him and, worse, all you know about him comes from the screen, the press, and the internet!

Steven Seagal is a fatass who can no longer lift his leg to do a kick! He has always run like a little girl, now he runs like a fat girl if he can run at all.
Lately he has been making more bad movies (direct to dvd release) and some seriously bad country music. A local country artist who writes for many major artist, Charlie Allen is a friend of mine. Seagal has hired Allen to work with him on producing a few albums. I heard the early stuff. Seagal sings worse than he acts.  |

For one, he is a total poser... I know for a fact that he makes claims about his martial arts that are outlandish, and now he plays guitar? He was invited to James Burton's international guitar festival in Shreveport... he didn't show, but did a teleconference appearance. From what I heard it was the same thing as the movie "Fire down below", where he as on stage playing, and then went into a solo and the camera zoomed in, but onto someone else's hands playing guitar. Besides... this is a transcript from court TV, not exactly made up like a tabloid. |

Respectfully, I would like to inform you that Chuch Norris has a verifiable MMA record. In fact, when he went to Brazil to try Vale Tudo, he was so badly beaten that humilty sparked interest, and he helped get the Machado's established here in Texas. In fact, Chuck is now one of Carlos Machado's brown belts, and I hear he takes it very seriously. Has segal ever even been in a fight, whereas the words 'action' and 'cut' did not start and end it? |

I just rented his last movie, (at least I think it is), Black Dawn. I give it a 5 out of ten.
 Segal has gotten so fat we couldn't believe it. Big ol fat jowls. They had his girdle so tight that he waddled! He just flat looked.....unnatural! I was pretty disapointed in the movie too. No continuity. One scene showed a guy in the daylight, the next shot was night time. Then day again. That would have flown, except they put up what day it was in the story's timeline. Day 1, Day 2, ect. Save your money.

Oh how this makes me smile...
While promoting that film, Seagal gave an interview for the Los Angeles Times in which he obliquely referred to work he'd done for the CIA in Japan. "They saw my abilities, both with martial arts and with the language," he said. "You could say that I became an advisor to several CIA agents in the field and through my friends in the CIA, met many powerful people and did special works and special favors." According to Vanity Fair, his first wife stated flatly, "He was never in the CIA." Undaunted by public skepticism, Seagal made further claims, saying at various times that he was a superb rider, a deadly marksmen, an authority on antique samurai swords, and fluent in four languages. His third film, which co-starred LeBrock, was called Hard to Kill, but to many in the Hollywood community, the newly minted star was becoming hard to believe. Seagal apparently began to believe his own press. On the set of one movie, he challenged a stuntman, who was a black belt in judo, to try to choke him out, a judo technique in which pressure is applied to the carotid artery in the neck until the victim is rendered temporarily unconscious. According to one source, Seagal claimed to be impervious to the technique. He was wrong. The producers of the film became frantic when they saw their NBA-sized star lying unconscious on the ground. |

He's a wife beater, just like Van Dam, so, no, I really don't have much love for the guy.

Maybe you meant it in terms of character, importance, etc., but "little" isn't exactly a word I'd use to describe him regardless of how much of an untalented poser he may be... IIRC, he's 6'4" and, in recent years anyway, he's anything but "little."

I don't know whether Segal is a poser or not, but Aikido IS a super-awesome defense technique, but sadly one that requires YEARS of dedicated practice.

I believe that is in reference to when "Judo" Gene LaBelle choked out Seagal. According to Chuck Norris (who apparantly witnessed the incident) Seagal wet his pants during the time he was napping. Pretty cool

Check out some of the reviews of his album.... Dear Mr. Seagal, Tuesday, February 12th, was a pretty average day for me. I woke up, brushed my teeth, had my morning glass of mayonnaise, put on my beret, tossed my scarf over my shoulder, heaved a heavy sigh and ventured out into the cold. The suspension on my electric scooter sagged deeply, not unlike my longing heart. While the vanity bumper sticker that Mother had bought me proclaimed "A smile a day keeps the doctor away", I was a very, very lonely 42 year old man. I was morbidly obese and quite frankly, I didn't have the most pleasant odour about me. I was lucky if even that kid with the club foot that everyone chased after school would wave to me when I passed. Doing the rounds of my paper route, I rode by my local music store. I heard Something about Lollipops emanating from the speaker. I heard the low and shrill sound and it immediately began soothing my jangled nerves. Little did I know that this little piece of plastic, with the wondroous words and lyrics of Steven Seagal burned onto it for all of eternity with a laser, was soon to change my life. I immediately got out of my scooter, ran into the store, took a few minutes to try to catch my breath. Finally I was able to gasp out to the clerk: "That Cd. That voice of the angels. I need to have it now". I bought several copies in case I became hungry on the way home. I rushed home, changed into my athletic gear and utility belt and immediately began doing pushups. It was like I was a man possesed. I didn't know it at the time, but this CD harnessed the work ethic, the martial arts prowess and, above all, the stunning handsomness and fashion sense of Steven Seagal into one small package. All that I had to do was press play and I was transformed into the essence of Casey Ryback, ex-navy seal, counter-terrorist expert and environmental mercenary. To the sounds of Mr.Seagal I was able to shed my weight and began taking daily showers. I now entertain several women per week, sometimes even several per day. I am making over $5000 a week stuffing envelopes from home. My life has become full of many smiles a day, and I look forward to each day with more anticipation than the last. I owe it all to the inspiring and electrifying work being done each and every day by Steven Seagal. Thank you, Steven Seagal. Your friend in arms, Kevin Keast, Toronto, Ontario |

Why I hate Steven Seagal:
I hate him because he can't act his way out of a paper bag but he's sitting pretty what I suspect is a nice pile of cash for his lack of ability. In otherwords I hate him because I envy him... well his good luck anyway... I sure as hell wouldn't want to look like him or be him... he's a total fucking tool. |

Tom Arnold even said Seagull wasn't a real martial artist. In an interview on the Late show or one of those shows they interviewed him about working with Jet Li. He said it was cool and it was his first time working with a martial artist. The host said something about a movie he did with Seagull, Tom said he wasn't a real martial artist and needed a stuntman. You know you're a pussy when the guy that married Roseanne say it.

Yeah, he knows enough to lie about his MA background, in one case actually making an art up. Aikido is probably the most useless thing to study, even Kung Fu has more merit because there are strikes. If he knows so much, why does he make it look so damned stupid in the movies? One of the only movie fight scenes that are somewhat realist is the original lethal weapon with Gary Busey and Mel Gibson, they actually look like they are fighting... somewhat. |
