Right,

Love him or hate him, you cant say he doesnt have his fans.

I was a big fan of seagals movies. When you make the sort of bone crunching action stuff he used to make, then acting really is not high on the list of stuff needed for the movie.

His best movies are.

Nico/above the law.
Hard to Kill.
Out For justice.
Under Siege.
Under siege 2
On dedaly ground (although its only good if you ignore his enviormental speach at the end)
The glimer man.
Belly of the beast.
Exit Wounds.

Recently though his direct to DVD stuff has been less than expected.

Out of reach and The foreginer being particually bad. Also some of his recent efforts like Submerged Have had to have had his voice redubed by another actor as he refuses to do his own looping and redubing

The guy really does need to get back in shape and do a couple more good slambang action movies before he is to old. Come on Steve, you know you want to.

.............this is all a bad dream!

I came in the other day from the pub, and just flopped down in front of the TV too tired to get up to bed. On the box, was, you guessed it, a Segal movie. I just sat there, rooted in horror as over an hour of gormless rubbish mesmerised my addled mind! Why, oh why did I watch it?

I blame the wife. She should have MADE me go to bed................

Yes its all true I like Mr Segal. His movies are terrible but I cant help but like them. They make me laugh for all the wrong reasons. I watched his latest movie the other week, Black Dawn and it was upto the usual standards expect Mr Segal didnt have a family member kidnapped. The super impossing was awful, the lines corny but I still enjoyed watching it. 1 man vs the world stuff, brillant.

There is only 1 movie I dont like of Segals and that is Ticker. Total pants.

Fabulous! I think that's the reason I love Arnie films. Not because the plots are good (although unlike Segals they often are!), not because I enjoy watching the Austrian Oak attempting to act, but because the films are often so bad that they make hilarious viewing.

As such, for me, Commando, is one of his greatest ever. None of this comedy malarky, just 90 odd minutes of leaden dialogue, ham acting, naff stunts and corny punchlines. Classic!

For me, Steven Seagal's greatest achievement was marrying Kelly Le Brock.
