OK...OK...Steven Seagal has made a boat load of $5.95 Wal Mart straight to DVD movies over the last 3 years...but Seagal is making a movie for release in January that is raising some eyebrows in Hollywood on the scenario that might just make the now B-Movie star back to A-list as Red State Americans search for a new hero ala John Rambo.
Under Siege 3:Terror Flies High
Plot Outline: Casey Ryback is sent on a mission to take out Muslim terrorists who have taken over a flight from Israel to USA.
Unlike Stallone's decision to do Rambo 4 against neo-nazi's picking on Indians.
(Denny Crane: "I Don't Want To Socialize With A Pinko Liberal Democrat Commie. Say What You Like About Republicans. We Stick To Our Convictions. Even When We Know We're Dead Wrong.")
You mean Seagal has given up on lame scripts written by enviro-whackos?
Evidently, it's time to make a film that will appeal to a broad, America loving audience, and to replenish the "ole" bank account.
Should be interesting to say the least...every time Hollywood gets their hands in the mix they screw it up. Seagal is Producer of this and from what I hear it has a very strong plot that will shake nerves...if there are people who have not seen Under Siege 1 or 2...you have to remember he is not a lowly lowly cook...but a NAVY SEAL...this should be sweet.
Bring back Katherine Heigl now that she's all growed up!
Ever since he lost "The Women in Red" for the knocked up nanny, I have written him off.
His latest movie is awful. I just rented it and could only watch the first half hour of it. One of the worst movies I have ever seen. That and Terminator 3.
Any guy that beats up his wife will never be a hero of mine. His popularity dove when the fact that he was smacking around his wife (Kelly LaBrock) hit the news. He's a fat pig and couldn't lift his leg high enough to pee on a fire hydrant.
Any film out of Hollywood that has conservative messages or values will be films that are not political in nature, and where the underlining message is open to interpretation, like Forrest Gump and Lord of the Rings. And its probably a safe bet that the filmmakers of such 'conservative' films never intended any such undertones, and would be horrified to think that their films were seen that way.
So if this movie in question really is non-PC on such a politically-charged topic, then a B-level production with a now C-level star is about as much as can be expected.
Early movies, great. Later movies, ehh... not so great. I hope the script IS solid and provides some good entertainment. Better not have any cartoons in it or the Muslims will REALLY get pissed.
BTW, ever notice he runs like a girl?
If he was coming after me to kick my @ss, I know I'd run like a girl.
I'll wait till it comes out on DVD then make my decision based on the reviews by fellow FReepers.......
Uhh - Didn't he do this already ?
-Executive Decision (1996) "When terrorists seize control of an airliner, an intelligence analyst accompanies a commando unit for a midair boarding operation.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0116253/
Don't Rent "Ice Harvest" Great Talent on both sides of the Camera, No Story,Bad Plot
Sounds like he comes back to life and tries to get back on that 747 in "Executive Decision"
BTW, ever notice he runs like a girl?
LMAO..that reminds me of that line in Out For Justice when one of the Mafia says to Seagal as he walks into a restaurant..."Gino...I see you still comb your hair like a girl"
The line didn't work because the guy saying it...HAD THE SAME HAIR CUT...SLICK BACK INTO A PONY TAIL!!!!!!! LMAO
Seagal always runs like he is slapping someone although the person could be 50 yrds ahead of him....hilarious.
He's a little overweight to be fighting muslims. Maybe he'll throw bacon at them.
Agree!
I loved "Executive Decision". I thought it was a fantastic action/adventure movie.
I was really surprised to see Seagal die so early in the movie though.
I never knew this. Horrible.
I love Under Siege. I hated US2. I hope this one is good.
