Once when filming a movie, Steven Seagal called an actress into his office and said:
- Thread starter Bragr
- Start date

Nobody has disappointed me more in my life than Steven Seagal has. Not even Santa.
Dude was a legend to me when I was a kid. Hard to Kill, Above the Law, On Deadly Ground and of course Under Siege were dope as fuck. I thought he was a martial arts god. I had the movies, I owned that documentary of him teaching Aikido in Japan, studying the moves. It just looked so sick.
Then I started learning Aikido myself and I was like eh.... Wait a minute. That's not how Aikido works, this shit is useless in an actual streetfight. So image shattered.
Then it turns out he is an insanely unlikeable guy. Like a total douchebag. Asshole to other cast and crew, overwhelmingly unpleasant character. Image shattered again.
Then the fucking weird pro-Russia stuff, the dumb depute sheriff show, the shit music, the faux spiritual nonsense. The guy is a neverending disappointment.

I bet Van Damme could have beat his ass back in the day. Then again, Van Damme got beat by that biker guy who had no martial arts training as far as I know.

What time is it?
It's okay, most kids don't know better.

He was putting out legit movies in the late 80s early 90's. His first 5 films were pretty decent, this revisionist history of him never being a draw or entertaining is bullshit. If you were watching movies back in the day, you more than likely wanted to go see at least on seagal flick.

I can't tell what is better. The "out of breath cause a guy flipped himself over" gif, or the "third base coach suffering a stroke" gif.

Wow.
"The former action hero backed Russia's illegal annexation of Crimea and has supported its invasion of Ukraine. He visited the occupied Donbas area last summer."
"In an interview on Russian television last year he spoke of an existential threat to Russia from Ukraine."

Can You Imagine What SureAI Is Going To Do With Garfield?
My cousin's husband actually played a major part in creating On Deadly Ground.

Pronouns in her bio, and a recent tweet about "manspreading" in her feed. Meanwhile Sorbo is a conservative Christian, which means both of them are probably going to be biased against each other. Not calling her a liar, and maybe this is all true, but it also wouldn't surprise me if "pressure me into sex" and "publicly shame me on set when refused" turned out to be "hit on me several times and then made fun of me after I did something dumb."
Or yeah, like I said, maybe it's all true. I'm not going to judge either party, because it's impossible to tell.
While I agree aikido is mostly useless, Seagal was ALWAYS the biggest guy in the room, so when a 200+ guy starts finger twisting little dudes it does kinda work. Plus his early stuff was mostly sweeps and chops when he got serious. I always liked his floaty gun handling as well

It's funny. Someone who could have been a 90s action movie star for several years and then faded away into obscurity has instead become an absolute legend, but for all the wrong reasons.

Incorrect. He has been in a few good films.

Nothing compared to segal. Some alleged harassment. He's very Christian and conservative which is the problem some people have with him.

Nothing but lies, falsehoods, misinformation and slander. Sensei is a great man. A man of action. A man of wisdom. A poet. A lover. An artist. He has spent his life with whores and lepers. Just like Jesus. When he ascends we'll look back and think, Oh Christ, we did it again!
