Little known Hollywood factoid: Marked for Death's plot twist
SPOILERS (for a 30 year old movie I guess)
quote:
Max covers John's chase of Screwface, who turns out to be a twin brother and was responsible for all the Posse crimes in the United States.
So they essentially invaded the home of someone and killed them without cause, cut his head off, travelled with the severed head to NY and found out it was a twin brother

Great Post. I think Under Siege 2 is a top 2-3 Seagal movie. It has a decent plot and is one of the best train action movies of all time. It's not quite as good as the first mainly because the villains' characters and the actors were not as good as in the first movie, but it still worked.

Obligatory
When I was a poor LSU student, we didn't often have cable. What we did have, though, was a VHS with BioDome, Happy Gilmore, and Under Siege 2: Dark Territory on it.
We would basically watch those three movies over and over and over again, until we could squirrel up enough money to get cable again.

And who could forget R. Lee Ermey's monologue from On Deadly Ground"
“My guy in D.C. tells me that we are not dealing with a student here, we're dealing with the Professor. Any time the military has an operation that can't fail, they call this guy in to train the troops, OK? He's the kind of guy that would drink a gallon of gasoline so he could piss in your campfire! You could drop this guy off at the Arctic Circle wearing a pair of bikini underwear, without his toothbrush, and tomorrow afternoon he's going to show up at your pool side with a million dollar smile and fist full of pesos. This guy's a professional, you got me?”

Under Siege is a fantastic movie. So is Dark Territory.
Seagal movies are pretty quotable movies. Assumption is the mother of all frick ups.

Under Siege 2 is underrated and one of my favorites. No one runs like Stevey.

Trautman:
You picked the wrong man to push.
Teasle:
No, Trautman, HE picked the wrong man.
Trautman:
That boy's a heart attack! He may be the best the Special Forces ever produced. Whatever you're planning to throw at him here, he's been through a whole lot worse, in lot worse places than this. I'm just amazed he allowed any of your posse to live.
Teasle:
Is that right?
Trautman:
Strictly speaking, he slipped up. You're lucky to be breathing.
Teasle:
That's just great. Colonel, you came out here to find out why one of your machiens blew a gasket!
Trautman:
You don't seem to want to accep the fact you're dealing with an expert in guerrilla warfare, with a man who's the best, with guns, with knives, with his bare hands. A man who's been trained to ignore pain, ignore weather, to live off the land, to eat things that would make a billy goat puke. In Vietnam his job was to dispose of enemy personnel. To kill! Period! Win by atrition. Well Rambo was the best.

I met Seagal when they were filming Under Siege in Mobile - I worked at the dive shop they got the equipment for the Alabama shots.
seemed a pretty cool guy then.
and Marked for Death was enjoyable - the 5 mentioned are fantastic

Above the Law and Under Siege were both directed by Andrew Davis. He's done some great "under the radar" action movies like Code of Silence (Norris) and The Package (Hackman and TLJ). He also directed The Fugitive.

IRL, he basically kills everyone he hits in the head with that cue ball in Out for Justice, yeah? Missing teeth aside, of course.
I freaking love early Seagal. Dude is such a guilty pleasure.

As mentioned above many people don't know that Marked for Death was originally called Screwface. I still think On Deadly Ground is the point he fell of a cliff. I'll still watch the ones before that they're fun action and fantastic unintentional comedy. The way the love scene starts in Hard to Kill is so cringey though.

I will always remember Billy Bob and that old man getting tortured by the doctor from scrubs

My Dad and I went to his house with former CNN Reporter Art Harris back in 1995 when we went on The Lizza Gibbons Television Talk Show.
He lived at 2282 Mandeville Canyon Road not far from OJ Simpson.
He had an Alligator head sitting on his coffee table and he told us he was deputized in Louisiana.

On Deadly Ground Some highlights: SS kills a grizzly bear with a knife. Somehow he gets behind it and stabs it. SS blows up an entire rig in a huge explosion to cap a wild well (although TNT is sometimes used to quickly remove oxygen to extinguish a flame, you would never want to blow up all of the existing well/rig equipment!) Michael Caine's final act of defiance is to open the "Ocean Oil Sludge" valve ... of course, all offshore installations are equipped with these valves labeled with appropriate signage.
Back in the day in Mobile, they had the “Dollar Movie” Theater in the old festival center. It’s where I saw a lot of Van Damme at his Van Dammedest, Seagal, Sly, Kurt Russell and so many other late 80s early 90s action flicks.
I specifically remember that On Deadly Ground only played their for like 2 weeks, and by the time I went to see it, it was already gone. I had to wait for the video.
Suffice to say, it was not worth the wait. Halfway thru, I said, this is one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen.
