Have you seen him lately? He hasn’t run for anything in a long time. It’s actually funny if you watch his later movies, he’s mostly sitting down through the whole thing.

What the hell happened to him? Wasn't he like a martial arts guy for real in the 80s?

That was 40 years ago

He was never as great a martial artist as he thought he was (just ask Gene LeBell), but he at least used to be... you know... mobile.

He got old. And soft. And round.

The last movie I saw with him was Under Siege after release. Left disappointed. Far more of a Jackie Chan/Tony Jaa kind of martial action films.

The best Steven Seagal movie I've ever seen, really the only good one, was Executive Decision.

Like other Steven Seagal movies, you see he's in it, and you groan and think, "this is going to suck." Then 20 minutes into the movie he's killed off, and you can relax and enjoy the rest.

I liked Exit Wounds, in which he demonstrated that the fastest way to steal a car is by using a key fob.

In all fairness, that's the only thing I remember about that movie and I'm pretty sure I've never seen anything else with him in it. Excluding Space Ice YouTube videos.

That one had a pretty good cast outside of Seagal himself. Same director also did Romeo Must Die and Cradle 2 the grave with some of the same cast, but no Seagal. Those are slightly better movied since... No Seagal lol

Space Ice is that you?

[–] toynbee@piefed.social 1 points 15 hours ago

It's not, but I did reference his videos in the next line!

Under Siege was only worth watching, just to see Erika Eleniak.
