I am all over this like a rash. I wonder, does anyone know any universities which offer courses in Seagalology?
poor steven... by darth sars	Jul 4th, 2003 05:36:45 AM
i remember the good old days with marked for death, and that other stupid movie with kelly lebrock (or however you spell her name). too bad he can't move half as fast as he used to...
A question by johny5	Jul 4th, 2003 05:48:31 AM
With all of the DTHV crap that Steve and Jean Claude make, couldn't we somehow find a way for a revisitation of the classic Dolph vehicle, "I come in Peace"?

Wouldn't miss this for the world.
You have to ask yourself... by LargoJr	Jul 4th, 2003 06:25:59 AM
WHY the hell do certain people continue to make movies, despite the fact that they SUUU-HHHUUUK!! Good LORD what so they pay him with anyways? Twinkies, Ding-Dings, and Ho-Hos? The only thing this guy had he pisses away a LONG time ago. He lied to her, got her to marry him, but couldnt keep up the bullshit charade. I'm glad she left his stupid lying bullshit ass. The man NEVER had any talent what-the-fuck-so-ever.
This may sound pathetic but.... by LargoJr	Jul 4th, 2003 06:29:17 AM
'I Come in Peace' was kind of fun. Brian Baumbaum was fresh off his sucess of "Dream On", one of the absolute fucking coolest shows ever on Cable, and added alot of chocolaty humor goodness to the film. Plus that awsome big gun :) (sigh) oh well..
"Hey! Take my pies out of the oven!" by Wingnut1A	Jul 4th, 2003 06:30:36 AM

Brilliant by earthworm	Jul 4th, 2003 06:33:49 AM
I just hope he makes a speech at the end. Seagal is cool.
...truly scary.... by Cotillion	Jul 4th, 2003 07:04:08 AM
Since there are no chartiy studios around, even movies like this must make a buck in the video stores or nobody would greenlight them. So people watch that shit (at least once) and that is a lot more scarier than the movie itself... hell, even christopher lambert is still making movies.... maybe they should team up together for the most anticipated movie of 2004 with the ballon, terrorists and hopefully some werewolves...
Steven Seagall goes in for a prostate message.... by jakebanzai	Jul 4th, 2003 07:42:56 AM
...and comes out having signed to star in "I Like Pie" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Fat White Dude".
MC Harvey by Holden's girl	Jul 4th, 2003 07:44:48 AM
the guy who he meets in the prison cell, is MC Harvey from a Brit hip hop band called So Solid Crew. he was on a morning programme called R:ISE and he seems very excited about it!! Poor guy, first break into acting and all that
Steven Segal... a professor... at YALE? fucking priceless... by TV CASUALTY	Jul 4th, 2003 07:46:28 AM
See Yalies, you're school ain't so exclusive after all. Seriously, this may be one of the best reviews I've ever read on this site. HI-FUCKING-LARIOUS.
Largojr, there is no shame in liking I Come In Peace... by TV CASUALTY	Jul 4th, 2003 08:03:31 AM
OK, maybe a little bit of shame. But I'm there with ya. Will I buy the special edition DVD (If, God forbid, one were to be made)? No. Will I watch it on cable on Sunday afternoons? Absolutely. After all, it has one of the greatest b-movie lines of all time. "I come in peace" "And you go... IN PIECES". Cinematic GOLD! Sorry to get sidetracked. Seriously though, this is the worst title of all of his. It's barely even grammatically correct. But I'll bet it's deliciously fun to watch.
PLEASE SAY THIS IS COMING OUT OVER IN THE UKSOON!!! I SO REALLY by silentbobafett2	Jul 4th, 2003 08:32:38 AM

Too bad that Seagal's career went down after Under Siege by Buscemi 01	Jul 4th, 2003 09:01:34 AM
He made some great movies. Above The Law, Out For Justice and Under Siege were great Action movies. Even his plotwise worse movies like Marked For Death and Hard To Kill had great Action Scenes and some of the best fighting Scenes I've seen. I wish he would have made more like those. Especially after Exit Wounds Warner should have given him a some picture deal.
I'm just nipping Out For A Kill, ten Silk Cut and a copy of the by AliceInWonderlnd	Jul 4th, 2003 09:24:52 AM
I bet this movie sucks ass... But two Alice thumbs up for Vern. Now that's what I call entertainment.
I'd pay $10 to see that in a theatre by WeedyMcSmokey	Jul 4th, 2003 09:55:28 AM
Natch. This sounds wholly awesome - if it can even approach On Deadly Ground for shear abmismality (hey, a new word) than we're all in for a treat.
Damn, I thought it was about a ballon ride hijacked by terrorist by Tao Of Dumbass	Jul 4th, 2003 09:58:54 AM

Vern's comments on Bad Boys 2 sum up my feelings exactly. by Serious Black	Jul 4th, 2003 10:17:15 AM
Really, who thought this would be a good idea?
Robert Burns? by Grando	Jul 4th, 2003 10:28:48 AM
The bard? Does Seagal write incomprehensible Scottish poetry? Does he recite Tom O' Shanter whilst being attacked by hot air balloon riding terrorists? Now that I would pay to see.....
Its a bull market on reviews & reports these days! by Frying Bologna?	Jul 4th, 2003 10:49:19 AM
Some good reading here on the homestead t'day. No annoying catch phrases. Vern. Quint. I think someone even proof-read Harry's last review! Now, we just have to wait for Mori to let everyone know where to download the workprint for ROTK and the entertainment levels will redline! Oh, and we should soon have the computer horsepower to do CGI Seagal AND CGI balloons in the same scene (yo, computer, render THIS!)
So, will Duran Duran sing the title song? by Osmosis Jones	Jul 4th, 2003 11:18:00 AM
Meeting you...while I'm Out For A Kill...faces to faces, secret places...feel the thrill...
AHAHAHAHAHA!!! by Ribbons	Jul 4th, 2003 11:24:35 AM
I'm still wiping tears away from my eyes. For some reason your fight descriptions produced echoes of Air Bud playing volleyball. Maybe that's because he just sticks his "paws" over the net and waits for someone to hit the ball right in front of them in a similar fashion. Maybe Segal should pair up with Air Bud for a joint venture. At this point, they're probably at the same level of compotency.
I still watch his shit. by Syd Mead	Jul 4th, 2003 11:27:58 AM
Okay, so it comes out on video I'll watch it then have a rum and coke and then make fun of it. Sure, each movie has gotten progressively worse. Save for Under Siege, Glimmer Man and maybe Exit Wounds. When "On Deadly Ground" came out I agree that's when the fun started...I even joked Steven should have done a follow up called "On Holy Ground" where he goes after the Pope. Every action star in decline has no choice but to make some real shitters to pay the rent. Just like Charles Bronson who was ice fucking cool in the 70's but was reduced to doing dog turds in the 80's. Nobody wants to touch them with a decent script, budget or other stars. BFD. What if Drew McWeeny got a call from Steven-fucking-Seigal and asked to do a walk on or god-forbid write a script? Moriarty would be down to Steven's office soooo fucking fast he would still be wearing his spider man PJ's with his ass hanging out. So make fun of him Drew, you just show what a classic L.A. asshole you are.
Seagal vs Billy Jack - The Musical by Fred	Jul 4th, 2003 11:34:59 AM

Seagal's next by mikeleeder	Jul 4th, 2003 11:56:08 AM
Hmm, Segal's next film will see him directed and action choreographed by no lesser Hong Kong action maestro then Tony Ching(Ching Siu-tong) most recently responsible for the action in, "Hero", "Invincible", and as director, "Naked Weapon"....Its currently shooting in Thailand...could be very interesting
Vernon!!! by pmorano	Jul 4th, 2003 12:02:38 PM

Seagal's best scene ever... by Sherlock_Holmes_	Jul 4th, 2003 12:39:35 PM
Was in "Executive Decision" when he got sucked into the upper atmosphere and died. I cheered.
Wow. by DukeDeMondo	Jul 4th, 2003 12:52:37 PM
This was , without a doubt, not only the most entertaining film review i have ever read, but the funniest thing of any description i have read since i looked at this really cool site called http://moogsamazingmusings.blo gspot.com Wow, what a site that was. Anyway, plug over, man, that was fuckin hilarious. but do you wanna know something, a little piece of information regarding the trancendental nature of take-the-piss movie reviews? i have in my possession at this moment, several preview cassettes of films soon to be released on video. i relate this tale, becuase, not six feet from me at this very moment, are two which i just recieved. one is National Security, which i shall watch in order to mine hittherto unexplored depths of scriptural hilarity, and the other? Out For A Kill!!! Can you believe i wasn't gonna watch this?? sheesh. Man, if only i had got a review of Satanic Lesbian Eisenstien-Fiends in time, i mighta saw a masterpiece. but, anyway, fantastic review yadda yadda yadda
Again, my hat goes off, and, if my tupee should follow suit, the by DukeDeMondo	Jul 4th, 2003 01:14:39 PM
To answer the question on the lips of every UK segal fan (or is that a boil?), according to the video i have here, the film will be zooming onto our shelves on 08:09:2003 so there you go. on another similar note (b#?), "I Come In Peace, i gather, is the American title for what i knew in my childhood days to be Dark Angel, about an aryan long haired blue eyed motherfucker who comes into town to fuck up old dolph. "i come in peace" "and you go in peices!" Wasn't there an "...asshole" in there as well? i distinctly remember at least half a cheek. yadda yadda yadda

Its so funny going into my local vid store and seeing all these strait to video movies..with Segal,van damn,and even recently sly stallone... while I do agree with the viewing of these films in the privacy of ones own home..Segal should take on van damn.(sly of course ref because he cant have his nose broken)like do as a warm up to freddy vs jason...ta just getcha in the mood for sensless violence..(yes I know my spelling is not good) but when I heard about the out for a kill right now..I at first thought maybe "senetor(hard to kill) trent" got released from prison..Honestly...I did.. "AND YOU CAN TAKE THAT TO THE BANK" Be well people...

Harry Knowles is he sordid love child of Carrot Top & Mama Cass. by mbaker	Jul 4th, 2003 03:41:06 PM
And Steven Segal should star in a movie where he hunts down warewolf & vampire terrorists in hot air baloons. While Hulk Hogan has a beer, and cheats on his macho man, Rowdy Roddy Piper! (That never get's old, Brother!)

Steven Segal is a Yale Professor?!!!? by The Paladin	Jul 4th, 2003 04:11:41 PM
I find this both incredibly funny and incredibly offensive. I might be able to buy Segal playing an Ivy league drop out, but a professor!!!!?????? This has to be hands down THE STUPIDEST THING IN THE HISTORY OF FILM MAKING!!!!
The greatest review ever? by Mr Bonefish	Jul 4th, 2003 04:25:07 PM
I am in a state of shock after laughing my ass off following that description of Seagal's african american "friend"....classic stuff. You made my day dude.
Out For A Krispy Kreme by AnxietyNY	Jul 4th, 2003 06:46:00 PM

Funny thing about Executive Decision by ManosTHOF	Jul 4th, 2003 07:52:50 PM
When it came time to do the Seagal Death Scene, he pouted and tried to bail and caused a whole scene and didn't want to "disappoint is fans", even though he knew well in advance his role and that the character dies (according to John Leguizamo on one of the late night talk shows, Conan I think). Seagal would do wire work, but bridge suspension cables are too visible on a movie screen.

Slowly but surely, Talkbackers are building the ultimate AICN mo by qualopec	Jul 5th, 2003 01:30:54 AM
It will have the following elements: -- A hot-air balloon -- Vampires & werewolves -- Hulk Hogan -- That sexy tomboy beanpole chick -- Zombie horror (reinvented) Have I left anything out? This could actually be a good movie, in an MST3K way. I think Harry should have a contest for the best screenplay.
Man, I've Been Missing Out. by CHEWBLACCA	Jul 5th, 2003 02:46:38 AM
Friends have always told me how fucking funny Seagal movies were,but I never had the patience for it.I think it's time to get off my ass and bulk up my shitty video shelf.Maybe start Seagal Nights with my other geek pals.Now I really hope they make that baloon movie.Thanks for the tip,dude.

Great review Vern. by Psychonaut	Jul 5th, 2003 03:58:34 AM
I'm a longstanding Seagal fan, but I must also confess to being a Lundgren and a Van Damme fan too. Although the ponytailed whale consistently makes better crap movies, the contribution of the Swede and the Belgian to the good-crap genre should not be underestimated. Kudos to whoever it was mentioned "I Come In Peace," or "Dark Angel" as it was called in the UK. Great film. Big haired aliens. Killer CDs. Huge guns. Marvellous. My brother wrote the review for it on IMDb, you know. But don't forget the others: Lundgren's heartfelt anti-war movie "Men of War," or Van Damme's matte effect masterpiece "Double Impact." Now, you can claim as much as you like that you watch these movies "ironically" or because "they're so bad they're good," but really, if you're honest, you watch them because in movies, its good when people kick other people in the head and things blow up, especially helicopters. And you know with these movies, you have a guarantee that's going to happen.
slo-mo by DirkD13"	Jul 5th, 2003 08:26:15 AM
Why all the slo-mo in a Seagal film? surely his is a fighting style deserved of speed-ups, not bullet-time!

Steven Seagal IS a genuine badass by defiledmetalzine	Jul 5th, 2003 07:58:48 PM
Just thought I'd remind you guys that, while his movies have always been silly (and now border on unwatchable) he IS an 8th degree Akido MASTER and teaches his own form of Akido. This is one of the more difficult of the martial arts and takes about five years to move up a level. This isn't karate folks.

Hilarious review by wasp	Jul 6th, 2003 01:40:17 AM
I was laughing tears at the part describing the fight scenes. And the rest of it was pretty funny, too.
My take on the hot air balloon, by Vern by Vern	Jul 6th, 2003 02:31:08 AM
As an acclaimed Seagalogist it is my professional opinion that if Seagal really made the hot air balloon comment, then he was joking. I do realize that it would be out of character for him to make a joke, especially a funny one, but I simply do not believe he would really pose something so low-tech and original as a premise for a movie. MAYBE if it was "terrorists take over one helicopter" or "terrorists hijack a motorcycle" or "terrorists take over a buddhist candle shop". But hot air balloons just wouldn't get Seagal's imagination going, in my opinion. Now believe me, I hope I'm wrong, because I would pay almost any price to see that movie, but I am not holding my breath.
Dumpster-diving makes you stinky by NakedYossarian	Jul 6th, 2003 02:45:28 AM
This is why I read Ain't It Cool. I knew it would be worth wading through the sissy-fight headlines and reviews of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. That's a fantastic review from a man who doesn't take his crappy movies too seriously. Thank you.
TICKER by JimboLo	Jul 6th, 2003 08:31:04 AM
Saw the cover for this in Blockbuster. My first thought = What the FUCK are tom Sizemore AND Dennis Hopper doing with their faces clumsily plastered onto the cover of this turd, next to Seagull's mush!!??!! So, naturally, I rented it and watched it at work with a couple of colleagues. I tell ya, we laughed like Hyenas. Bits to watch out for: 1) Hopper's accent switching from Leprechaun-Irish to American. Is this on purpose? I dunno. 2) The shot of Tom Sizemore driving during on what looks like a hot BRIGHT summer day. No problem, apart from the fact that this shot is sandwiched into the middle of a fucking NIGHT scene!!!! 3) The leather jackets. Why is everyone wearing them? It can't be to look cool, since they've even got Ol' Whale gut wearing one. 4) This is one my colleague pointed out. Forty minutes into the film. WHY THE FUCK HASN'T SEAGULL STOOD UP YET???? And it's true, he's either sat at his desk or sat in his car. Move your fat ass! 5) This one was my personal favourite. Hopper and Jaime King driving along in a car... except they're not, they're sat in a studio while a blue screen background plays behind them. Then Hopper slams the brake and they speed up the blue screen to compensate. This was so good I had to rewind it three times to make sure my eyes (which were watering from laughing so hard) weren't decieving me. Describing it just doesn't work, you HAVE to see this shit. 6) This is brilliant. The obligatory race-against-time-to-stop-the- bomb. We see a digital readout saying ONE minute left til BOOM! Sizemore fucks and faffs around for more than FOUR minutes trying to decide what wire to cut (I know this because, by now, I was counting the seconds til this lump of dogshit ended) and then it cuts back to the readout which says there's still SIXTEEN seconds left! After four minutes!!! No fuckin' waaaaaaaay!! There's suspension of disbelief and then living in denial. Albert Pyun (the "director") isn't fit to suck Ed Wood's cock. I wait, and pray, for Spec Ed DVD with his commentray, just so I can liten to him and Seagal saying, "I'm sorry.... I'm so, so, so sorry..." for the whole eighty minutes. They owe us. Twats!
Welp, Steve's Comeback! by highsociety	Jul 7th, 2003 12:24:01 AM
Steven could lose weight. Get in shape. And make Under Seige 3. And be on top again. With Andrew Davis directing. His bad movies and the reviews on this site crack me up. Anyone seen the Toliet Boys Steven Seagal show cartoons on atom films? Hilarious! But I am rooting for him to make a comeback. And I'm not a fan either, weird. I feel for the underdog. Plus I know how hard it is to lose weight. So does Harry. I've won my battle thankfully, pretty much.

The very minimum requirement of an action star by St.Buggering	Jul 7th, 2003 05:45:57 AM
Wouldn't you think that if you're trying to maintain a reputation as an action star that the VERY MINIMUM requirement would be that you try to stay in shape? What does this guy weigh now? I mean, I've got no problem with fat people, but we're supposed to believe that this guy can beat the hell out of anybody. And incidentally, Sammo Hung doesn't count; he can actually do everything he's portrayed as doing, and he doesn't wear mumus and insist on close-ups that don't show his chin wattles. I've always hated Seagal, and I'm just glad that the rest of the world has finally caught up to me. He's an insult to both martial artists and action stars everywhere. He's a joke, he's always been a joke, and he'll die a joke. Hopefully soon.
It's Monkey 'BOXING'.... by turk128	Jul 7th, 2003 06:26:57 AM
... not Monkey kung fu, 'cause I recently got lectured on the subject. Speaking of anal, who the hell would want to call it Monkey Boxing in the first place? I mean, why would a monkey want to box when he has probably the most devastating natural weapon in the animal kigdom? Projectile Monkey Shit (PMS).
FAT LIKE ME by TomVee	Jul 7th, 2003 08:58:45 PM
The man made some hot shit in his time. MARKED FOR DEATH is just one example. I agree that UNDER SIEGE marked a turning point in his career that in hindsight proved a huge, career-destroying blunder. A big budget, glossy B-film posing as an A-film. Not his usual low-budget, scrappy, gritty, fight-scene-every-three-minute s effort. A mistake, not from his POV perhaps, but certainly from ours. And then he gets fat besides. And makes ON DEADLY GROUND. I also agree with the TBer who said Will Sasso should do a feature-length Seagall spoof.
Steven Seagal by nofrills	Jul 8th, 2003 04:54:09 AM
QUOTE: (defiledmetalzine) Just thought I'd remind you that Seagal IS an 8th degree Akido MASTER and teaches his own form of Akido. Erm, and just thought I'd remind YOU that Seagal was 'given', YES given, his 5th Dan black belt by his then wifes father, in order for Seagal to take over the 'family' Dojo. He was only a 3rd Dan at the time. he did not EARN the Dan grade in any way shape or form. As mentioned before, Seagal has his own 'type' of Akido, and has effectively graded himself for both 6, 7 (apparently 8th? last I heard he was 7th Dan) Dan grades. My Sensei is a 9th Dan in Ju-Jutsu, and laughs at ALL Akido practitioners 'they fall over for you, my students don't fall, they get knocked down'. That said, I still think he kicks ass, and although I do Ju-Jutsu, I'd run if he came looking for me... :)
Vern update: 2 years later by Vern	Apr 20th, 2005 04:40:21 PM
I have now re-watched OUT FOR A KILL on DVD as part of my Seagalogy research, and I have discovered a grievious error at the end of this review. The cellmate (a character named King) is not seen again but he is in fact mentioned in a scene where Professor Burns asks a DEA agent to have King released for "a second chance." I don't know how I missed this the first time but I can only blame 99% myself, and 1% society. Anyway, my sincere apologies to Mr. Seagal, his family, all readers, and fans of Seagal's films and music. Everything else I said though was 200% accurate.

Steven Seagal by nh	Jul 6th, 2008 07:15:06 PM
is the most popular mega movie star on the planet. With real life bodyguard and martial expertise experience, other actors can't beat Seagal on the screen with their hollywoodish mentalities
