Default Steven Segal Films

Whilst i'm fully aware that he's not known for his acting talent but f*ck me just how bad have his films become?

Nico, Hard to Kill, Under Siege were a fairly good watch. I've just started to watch "The Foreigner" on five tonight and could only tolerate 20 minutes of the sh*te. Even some of the fight scenes were an arm or a torso double of him. Parts of it were dubbed. He obviously wants to be infront of the camera for as little as possible.

The past it argument won't cut it considering Stallone's awesome physical performance for a 63 year old in Rambo.

Looks like Segal should quit the film game he's obviously better at wife beating these days.

Saw some of this last night and couldn't believe how fat his face was.

Isn't it also time he got rid of that ridiculous pony tail too

I just read the wiki page.

He has his own aftershave available called "Scent of Action".

Awesome.

didn't see it, but i agree - his films are definately getting worse/have got worse

will never forget a friend of mine insisting we try out the "flick the carving knife out of my hand" move after watching under seige after a few beers in his kitchen when his parents were on holiday. i managed it without injury, but the hole in the vinyl floor took some explaining!

Doesn't he just play the same role over and over and over and over again?

It was starting to ware thin when he starred in 'On Deadly Ground'. Not only does he reap revenge on the bad guys, he's an enviromentalist too!

Still, does he not have carte blanche to do what ever he like? Seeing as he gave us the gift of Erika Eleniak jumping out of a giant cake with her norks out.

That's like 24 carrot gold in the w4nk bank that is.

Anyone who stars in a film called 'half past dead' is a legend in my book!

Last night I watched his film on Channel 5 (it's name escapes me atm) and it was the nearly the usual thing, only in this one his wife/girlfriend/granny wasn't killed before he went on to kill half of Thialand and rescue his daughter from the kidnappers.

Then there was bugger all on so I watched The Foreigner on the other Channel 5 channel and it was terrible and he was killing European's instead.

Never seen it before but had a severe case of Deja Vu, almost like I had seen it.

His earlier films where good, Nico and Hard to kill are classic (in my eyes anyway) But his straight to video releases are, well **** at best.

I saw part of one of his films on TV a few months ago and he had a stunt double to walk down some steps for Gods sake. I was never much into him but that managed to lower my already low opinion of him.

Great ***** aside the only decent thing about Under Siege is Tommy Lee Jones who is a half decent actor and even then he's more ham than a pig farm.

Is that 1 or 2? Which is the one when its exactly the same but on a train? The baddies are better than the hero.

All I can say is him and that Doug the bunty hunter must both be as hard as **** because they both dress like *****.
I tried to watch that drivel last night...why do the baddies take it in turn to attack is it a sort of code of honour especially the ones with the swords,in most places they will all pile in sort of adult bundle styleeeeeee....
Deffo getting worse.....police stop even repeated was better...

LMAO on the DEW ad!

Our Sensei had mentioned how he had gone downhill, physically and personality wise, shame really.
