Michael Caine has talked about why he opts to be in seemingly crappy movies, and he even wrote about it in his memoir. The gist of it is, Caine decides his projects based on where the filming is, if he wants to go there, and if he can bring his family. Pretty awesome, if you ask me...
Michael Caine on Jaws the Revenge: “I have never seen the film, but by all accounts it was terrible. However, I have seen the house that it built, and it is terrific."
I burst out laughing when he used a flaming building to light his cigarello. Can you imagine a firefighter pulling up to your burning home and taking out a pack of smokes like, well, might as well put this tragedy to good use.
They don't even do smoking in modern mainstream movies anymore. Let alone a firefighter breaching professional boundaries by lighting up a cigarillo at a burning site. With flame from an active fire. Only in the 90s!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not to mention the raw petroleum would contaminate the tobacco and make at least the first several puffs taste absolutely vile. Yeah, you can taste it through the flame. Just ask anyone who's lit a cigarette off a match before the phosphor's exhausted.
Theory: You could edit together scenes from all of Steven Seagal's movies into one giant epic and it would fit almost seamlessly. His characters are always the same. Someone do this, please.
The pacing would be way off, with a strong 1st act, a didn't see this coming 2nd. And wtf is this switch me off now 3rd act. Ironically like most modern movies
I worked on Seagal’s next film Glimmerman .. we Designed some great sets at Warners for him to run around in and blow up..Warners sent him to a fat farm before the filming and he started stopping in our Art Dept. and eating all our Craft Service ..the Studio sent me a memo saying don’t let Steven eat all your donuts every morning Bill..
Apparently that speech Seagal makes at the end of the movie was supposed to be 40 minutes long. And he refused to cut that scene down until he saw that people either fell asleep, started mocking the scene and so on in test screenings. That must've been a huge stab to his ego when he did so.
Steven Seagal has had a weird career. From the late 80’s to the mid 90’s, he was leaning hard into an “Italian” identity he’d created for himself. Then, in he late 90’s, he became an “eco-warrior,” draping himself in Native culture and blowing stuff up for the planet. In his defense, Chuck Norris did the same thing with Forest Warrior. Now Seagal’s basically a kung fu manatee, with a goatee and bad dye job. Oh, and he’s also a part time cop and BFF’s with Putin??? More WTF than weird, TBH.
He really is Italian and native American his dad was a Jewish italian and his mom was native American but now he claims he's part Russian mongol and native american Steven u may have Russian and mongol in ur ancestors that doesn't mean u are he just uses acents now to fit in he's a dummy

Michael Caine has been in so many films. I seriously have wondered if he's ever been chilling at home, channel surfing on a Sunday afternoon when he's stumbled across one of his many performances and thought, "I'm in this movie?"
I grew up with my grandmother watching his movies as if he were the PREMIERE HOLLYWOOD ACTION STAR, and I can verify this. His squinty-eyed, gruff delivery is the only type of "acting" he knows how to perform.
I saw this one at the local theatre. Some of us were laughing as we left, as he had that big environmental message at the end of the movie after causing an environmental nightmare by blowing up an oil rig.
Most action heroes eventually recognize the comedy potential of their own "action hero" persona. This goes double for Steven Seagal because he can't act - making everything he does that much funnier. But instead of fans laughing with Steven Seagal becoming a comedy legend, Steven Seagal has chosen to become an aging action hero, with everyone laughing at him.
He has still so many fans who genuinely like him. Just take a look under any martial art video by some chum here on YT that praises Shitgal's "martial skills". Absolutely fucking deluded these people.
Stallone is one off the few action stars who really can't do comedy. But even he has the recognition that he knows what he is and plays into it. Just not in the self-aware way like Arnie.
Regarding feathers, they are exceptionally heavy. This is what makes birds so dangerous. Every time people go outdoors without a Kevlar helmet, they are taking their lives in their hand. As we see at the start of Forrest Gump, a feather hits the main character in the head at the start of the movie causing brain damage and the character rambles on incoherently for the rest of the movie and goes off to murder a woman he has been obsessed with his entire life and kidnaps her child.
I don't know. True, Segal has NEVER been the greatest actor...but neither has Keanu. I LOVE KEANU; so that's not what I'm saying. I'm saying that when you put him in the right things (John Wick, Cyberpunk 2077) he's a vision. Put him in the wrong things (Bram Stoker's Dracula, Much Ado About Nothing) and he stinks up the house. Likewise, Segal hasn't been good AT ALL in decades. However, it would be unfair to say anything other than the fact that everything in his early days between Above the Law and Under Siege (and arguably Under Siege 2) was near gold. He used to be a real action star before that star tarnished and fell to the ground at light speed. 🤣
Priceless amazing review Mark! As always! I didn't catch this one on the first go-round, but again YOU have created one of your very best! Hilarious from start to finish!
You are only scratching the surface with Seagal. This is an Oscar worthy performance compared to some of his later flicks. You have to see them to believe them.
I know these 80-90s movies can be cheesy but I grew up watching them with my dad. I have this weird love for them because it puts me back in my child hood.
I think we all do. Its the environment and time surrounding these films that makes us have this strange love for them. The wait for them to be released on VHS, the trip to the video store and paying four bucks a night to hire them, the microwaved popcorn, the movie night. These days we spend half an hour browsing our streaming services and still cant decide what to watch.
Nothing wrong with that brother. That’s why I love the Mario bros movie lol. Bad movies are good. We wouldn’t have mark making these videos if it wasn’t for the bad movies.
All those 90’s action films you referenced are all classics in a way. The Nic Cage 96/97 trilogy of “The Rock”, “Con Air” and “Face Off” are just amazing and so much fun. I wish more action films were like these nowadays.
Damn right. We dont get those anymore either. I used to walk out the theatre with my chest puffed out, in a weird way, 90s action flix made me feel more manly
@@0311matt John Wick, most super hero movies, most movies with The Rock, most movies with Tom Cruise, all those expendable movies, all the Olympus Has Fallen type movies, I could literally go on for pages with movies from the last 10 years that have classically masculine leads doing "manly" stuff. Stop making stuff up so you can fit it into the fictional narrative that is your world view. Not that it matters anyway, Fury Road was one of the best pure action movies of the past 10 years and it had a female lead. And that's not new.. Terminator 2, Alien.. badass female characters in well done movies, the gender of the characters is irrelevant. If there's a real reason movies like that aren't made it's that film companies are too risk averse and aren't willing to put up big money for an R rated action movie attached to an unknown franchise. So we get PG-13 super hero movies and garbage rehashes over and over.
Did you notice when the mercs were shown the photo of who they were looking for it was Mark in that fur with a gun? 😂 I definitely believe you if you say Seagal's depictions of the natives there is wrong, he only cares about himself onscreen.
Guy is a sub contractor for an oil company, flies around in helicopters, rides snowmobiles, etc.. "Hey you guys need to use less oil." This must be based on Al Gore flying around the world in his private jet to "protect the environment".
I always found Steven Seagal movies kind of hilarious. The way he fights sometimes looks like he's just slapping his hands at the enemy. Forgot which one it was where he just slaps a gun out of a bad guys hands, lol. It's just so funny because he acts so serious and tough, but his fights look anything but a lot of the time.
And he runs really weird. Seriously, watch his early clips in Hard to Kill or Marked for Death, he has this weird trotting run with a "I don't know what to do with my hands" kind of vibe.
BTW, the original concluding speech was a whopping 45 minutes long! So the studio told him that he had to edit it WAY back. Plus, this was definitely a vanity project. The studio only green-lit it so he would do "Underseige 2".
Something tells me that a Neil Breen-Movie with a Big Budget would essentially be like „On Deadly Ground“ but with a Gouvernment-corruption-Theme and the Main Character killing enemies with his mind and not his fists.
You should tackle Steven Seagal movies he wrote himself and starred in. It’s one thing for him to play himself in movies because he has no range, but it’s another thing for him to play himself in a role that shows us what he thinks of himself.
Worth mentioning, the speech he delivers at the end is actually the truncated version of the one that was filmed: originally it went on for about 11 minutes. The studio said, quite rightly, that there was no way in hell anyone would sit and watch that at the best of times, let alone at the end of an action movie. If you haven't listened to a podcast called Behind the Bastards, they do a couple of episodes on him. It's a cliche to say 'his life is crazier than any movie he's ever been in', but in his case, it's kinda true, the man is a nightmare and some of the stuff he's said and done, if someone told you, you'd swear they were making it up.
@@endlessnoise9173 That is correct, Marks bit on that reminded me of Bryan going off on the same thing. Highly recommend anyone that isn't familiar to check out Good Bad or Bad Bad's video on this movie... and pretty much anything they make.
I love Sudden Death. I think it was the first R-rated movie my parents were okay with me watching (I was 4-5 years old). The Fight between JCVD and the assassin dressed like the mascot was engraved into my tiny subconscious for years on end.
@@silvervalleystudios2486 It's a shame to hear about his addiction and how it pretty much ruined his career. He used to be right up there with all the best '90s action stars. Rick James was right.
Can we also add Sudden Death, Universal Soldier and Timecop to the list please! He's done some cracking films over the years, Hard Target was my favourite.
Somehow I feel like "the native tribe perpetrated a terror attack to blow up the refinery, killing hundreds of people in the process" would probably be a pretty effective argument that the company could use to maintain their oil rights despite technically failing to complete the refinery by the stipulated deadline.
Well it does take place in Murica, and with the way Murica treats anyone who is other than white. Republiklan protesters would have white knighted for the corporation they gain nothing from because they're imbeciles who don't know the difference between climate and weather while calling climate change a "lib hoax" who would have paid off the government to kick the native Americans off of the land allowing them to freely drill every where they wanted until they completely screw the climate.
@@soulknife20 I read that last part in his voice. The man is a walking, talking giant ego. The funniest part is I feel like life did to him exactly what he deserved.
@@FionavanDahl If only Steven Seagal hadn't lost all credibility, celebrity status, and hadn't gained like 200 lbs. This was pretty much the last time he was taken even remotely seriously by anyone. 5 or so years later he was making low budget garbage movies.
I appreciate that your channel digs up all of these movies from my childhood that I've obviously forgotten about, but looked so cool at the time. I remember when this came out and it sounded so bad ass. Same thing with "Color of Night." I was 15 in 1997, so I never got to see either of these movies at the time. Now, I'm glad you suffered so I didn't have to.
As an oil rig worker for 13 years, I'm afraid that my boss will betray me, set me up with explosives, rescued by a tribe and being chased by mercenaries. I'm screwed, I don't have the ridiculous jackets Steven Seagal wears!
When you showed the quick cut to the close up of the 'picture' of Seagal and it was you, I lost my shit! LOL. Love all of your vids, and especially the Seagal ones.
This movie's a trip to say the least. It's unfathomable how mind-numbling wrong it went. Parts of it kind of work in spite of things, but others because of how badly they're presented-and also in no way helped by how unbelievably messed everything else ultimately is too.
Yet another great video and great skits. The fact that your skits aren't "perfect" is what makes them great. Side note; One day I went to our Local Video Rental (up hill both ways), I asked if they had any Kung Fu movies, and they showed me their Steven Seagal Selection...
My guess is Will Smith's career is about to take a noticeable hiatus one might say. Or he might just simply retire from acting altogether. Honestly, considering his output as of late that might be for the best.
I gotta say that the voice actor who dubbed Segal in my country is far better actor than he is, thus giving the impression that Segal, is in fact, an at least average actor.
Probably why I thought he wasn't that bad back in the day(I'm a French Canadian who barely knew any English 25 years ago) so every movie I watched were dubbed.
Cage is an incredible actor who often makes awful movies. But no one who has ever seen Birdy, Moonstruck, Leaving Las Vegas, Adaptation, Wild At Heart, Red Rock West, Peggy Sue Got married, Joe or Pig would seriously contend that he can’t act. To mention him in same breath as Seagul is to expose ones idiocy.
Welcome back To the Show! MARK it's so crazy how you talked about Sudden Death. My sister and I were hate watching it the other day and pointing out all the 90s action clichés. It was so much fun because we were just laughing the whole time.
There's the great Michael Caine quote about Jaws 4 " I have never seen it, but by all accounts it is terrible. However I have seen the house that it built and it is terrific"
Steven Seagal: protect the environment!! Also Steven Seagal: thinks blowing up an oil rig and lots of natural features of the land is a good way to do that
God bless my Mom, she loved Steven Segal. I took her to see this in the theaters when it came out. Never saw him again. I think Glimmer Man was around the same time but we avoided that.
My brother & I discovered this movie on SpikeTV back in the day, and it became our guilty pleasure. So many memeable moments, even before memes existed. Having a bad day? Let’s act out the Hot Hands scene. 🤣 And yeah, Dr. Cox threw us off completely in this. Totally kept expecting Scrubs-level shenanigans. Nowadays, I bought the dvd of this to watch when I really need a laugh. Works every time! It’s funny, you even pointed out things I never noticed in all my watchings, like that fake pipe or the already-lit cigar. 😂
Hilarious!!! Earned a new subscriber!! I member renting this on VHS, me and my buddys strapped cola bottles to our BB guns and played Seagal all weekend.
I remember having a friend in school who was a BIG Segal fan. She was into martial arts and had posters and videos of Segal's movies. I even rented this particular movie back than because I wanted to understand the appeal. It didn't work.
Never fails! I die laughing every time you insert yourself into the movies . This one with that blonde wig omg! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 “Breen Level” should be a saying! 🤣🤣
Steven Seagal was always kinda too goofy for me to buy him as an "Action Hero", this is also why I wasn't suprised when he didn't show up in the Expendables lol
He turned goofy real quick, but as a kid around 13 his first two movies were so cool to me! That scene where he beats up those mobsters with the pool ball in a sock 🤣👍
He was supposed to be the villain in the first film with Jackie Chan but he had a lawsuit against millennium films and since Steven didn't do it Jackie backed out also so just imagine how different the original expendables would be
dude your skits are some of the most hilarious, keep up the good work bro. And I learned a lot from some movies that I've heard about but, didn't know a lot of the Back stories on until I found your page right on man.
One day Mark should go hunting down and interviewing the actors from such gems like Mind trap or Champagne and bullets and just ask “why” and “what did it take to star in such films”
There isn't a truer statement than 4:30. Seeing him in anything else immediately just makes me see him as Dr. Cox and I'm waiting for either a joke or for him to give a lesson to someone. He was so good in Scrubs.
Interesting... Steven just blow up an oil rig. Polluted the hell out of this region, killed lots and lots of fish and other see life, and I don't mention cute, innocent, penguins! And only then delivered environmental speech... Great job.
Such a terrible Movie. Not just silly, but really, really crap. On the up side, we did get this review. We had to wait almost 30 years, but we got this review. Thanks Mark, Quality Work by you. '...This Ghost has a rattle and I want to play with it...' Perfect!
This movie is so much better (if you can believe it) than Seagal's recent atrocities. Mark should have chosen one of the later pieces of crap because, why not go for the easy joke factory?
@@aarondavis8943 Indeed. The more recent run of abysmal Seagal mush would certainly make for a target rich comedy environment. Now therein lies the rub. With so much Seagal Guano to pick through, where would Mark begin?
@@aarondavis8943 This is certainly true, but there are two fundamental differences between this turd and his later, straight-to-Walmart turds. The first is that though none of his movies can truly be called "good" in any objective sense, this was such a precipitous drop-off from moronic but serviceable actioners like ABOVE THE LAW, HARD TO KILL, OUT FOR JUSTICE, and UNDER SIEGE. Those movies at least worked as braindead action fodder. This one, with all its neo-Billy Jack pretentiousness is laughable to even the most undiscriminating fan of beat-em-up flicks. The newer films may be worse on every level, but now no one is going in expecting anything other than total shit. When this one came out, audiences still expected Seagal to at least deliver some mindless bone-breaking fun. The second is that Seagal has no expectations anymore, either. He sleep-shuffles his way through movies now, in a comatose state that makes his earlier flat performances seem spirited by comparison. Since he directed this one & slathered it in a big heaping puddle of social message (presumably something about which he felt very strongly), this was ostensibly Seagal at his most passionate & caring as a filmmaker. Yet it lays there on the screen like week-old roadkill. I made the Billy Jack comparison above, and I definitely think that's valid. But Tom Laughlin at his most insufferably dull and self-righteous seemed to care what he was doing, even if no one else had a clue what the hell that was, exactly. Seagal had the reins firmly in his hands here, and he delivered a movie with all the passion and conviction of a blank index card.
"What's cooking," Steven? How about six rig hands, one driller, the company man, millions in environmental fines and lost equipment, and the operator's safety rating with OSHA and their insurance carrier? That being said, I live in Wyoming and I blow up f**king oil rigs every weekend. Not a big deal.
Fun fact: Seagal's preachy, half-backed, double-standard speech at the end was apparently much, much longer (like 20 - 30 minutes), but the Studio forced him to cut it down to a at least non-lethal level of cringe.
Mark spits facts about those damn paper cuts. I'm like "oh shit papercut, oh well looks alright." Then the next day at work some spills on it and it's pure pain. Shoulda called Steven Seagal.
"What's off the table, Steven?" Omg I love you, Mark. I'm so glad you chose this movie. Pure comedy gold. And am I the only person who cringes at every interaction with the "Inuit" that depicts them as illiterate nomads, without any actual tribal identification, still living like it's 200 years ago? Segal obviously doesn't know that they, like, live in houses and drive cars and go to college. Jesus Christ. Edit: Your review is the comedy gold; the movie is just god-awful.
If he had any awareness whatsoever, he’d have used his character to get across a message of ignorance. Where he believes they live there and don’t live in the modern times. Only to find out they’re simply camping, and when he gets caught trying to steal their dogs and sled to leave, the dad points and the camera pans over, revealing a car. Would be both a “learning” sort of thing while also being funny. But that would require Steve to make the character he’s playing not perfect, so of course that’s out the window
@@StumbIingforward There was an interview recently with Bob Odenkirk talking about when Steven Seagal did the infamous worst episode of SNL he ever remembered. It just sounded like an absolute nightmare with a guy who didn't get the concept, didn't understand what was going on and quote didn't want to be "laughed at" and actually brought in his own stunt people to do a very over the top very preachy scene of him beating up a bunch of ExxonMobil executives. Followed by a look at the camera preachy speech. I believe it's the only episode that they still refuse to release in any capacity and probably only exist on the internet if it's off somebody's like VHS tape or something.
@@StumbIingforward With ideas like that, sounds like you should be a screenwriter. 100% better than the garbage that's out there now. But you're right. Seagal looking ignorant can't happen, because it doesn't match the lighting a cigarette with the very fire you are supposed to put out, or the never turning back on an explosion right behind you, etc..
@@StumbIingforward it would have been a hilarious burn if they did humour him but angled it completely different in the editing, and making a joke out of him being so over-compensating and unable to be self-aware or humorous
Narcissist multiplied by a complete lack of self awareness to the power of incompetence equals On Deadly Ground. This movie should not exist but for some reason I can’t explain I’m glad it does.
18:32 - If Seagal put as much effort into his first marriage that he put into this scene, he wouldn't have three divorces and an annulment under his belt.

yo for real that shit was fucking hilarious, well done mark bravo lmao
@@drezworthy He did not have to act so well, but he did. Mark kicks all sorts of ass.
Mark should of played the lead.
No joke Mark, your acting at 15:14 is better than any "acting" Segal has ever done. 👏👏👏
Oh yeah, it's better by miles..
He looks like a blonde haired Anton Chigurh.
I don't know. True, Segal has NEVER been the greatest actor...but neither has Keanu. I LOVE KEANU; so that's not what I'm saying. I'm saying that when you put him in the right things (John Wick, Cyberpunk 2077) he's a vision. Put him in the wrong things (Bram Stoker's Dracula, Much Ado About Nothing) and he stinks up the house. Likewise, Segal hasn't been good AT ALL in decades. However, it would be unfair to say anything other than the fact that everything in his early days between Above the Law and Under Siege (and arguably Under Siege 2) was near gold.
He used to be a real action star before that star tarnished and fell to the ground at light speed. 🤣
This part definitely made me laugh too
A perfect H Jon Benjamin all throughout
Mark, I've seen tons of your videos, and this is easily the best one out of all. The jokes seem to write themselves! Do more Seagal flicks!
Priceless amazing review Mark! As always! I didn't catch this one on the first go-round, but again YOU have created one of your very best!
Hilarious from start to finish!
You are only scratching the surface with Seagal. This is an Oscar worthy performance compared to some of his later flicks. You have to see them to believe them.
Yeah his post 2003 straight to video stuff makes this movie look like a masterpiece.
My favorites are the ones when he got paunchy and way past his sell by date but he still insists on playing a badass martial arts expert.

I know these 80-90s movies can be cheesy but I grew up watching them with my dad. I have this weird love for them because it puts me back in my child hood.
Me too.
I think we all do. Its the environment and time surrounding these films that makes us have this strange love for them. The wait for them to be released on VHS, the trip to the video store and paying four bucks a night to hire them, the microwaved popcorn, the movie night. These days we spend half an hour browsing our streaming services and still cant decide what to watch.
Nothing wrong with that brother. That’s why I love the Mario bros movie lol. Bad movies are good. We wouldn’t have mark making these videos if it wasn’t for the bad movies.
All those 90’s action films you referenced are all classics in a way. The Nic Cage 96/97 trilogy of “The Rock”, “Con Air” and “Face Off” are just amazing and so much fun. I wish more action films were like these nowadays.
Damn right. We dont get those anymore either. I used to walk out the theatre with my chest puffed out, in a weird way, 90s action flix made me feel more manly
@@Macadamienutz because we live in a time where being manly is "toxic" now... lame
@@0311matt yup it is backwards and gross the woke left isn’t gonna be happy till we’re all androgynous
@@UnwrittenSpade you got the nail on the head, buddy
@@0311matt John Wick, most super hero movies, most movies with The Rock, most movies with Tom Cruise, all those expendable movies, all the Olympus Has Fallen type movies, I could literally go on for pages with movies from the last 10 years that have classically masculine leads doing "manly" stuff. Stop making stuff up so you can fit it into the fictional narrative that is your world view. Not that it matters anyway, Fury Road was one of the best pure action movies of the past 10 years and it had a female lead. And that's not new.. Terminator 2, Alien.. badass female characters in well done movies, the gender of the characters is irrelevant. If there's a real reason movies like that aren't made it's that film companies are too risk averse and aren't willing to put up big money for an R rated action movie attached to an unknown franchise. So we get PG-13 super hero movies and garbage rehashes over and over.
Im from Alaska and the depiction of natives is like something out of Nanook of the North, they don't use dogsleds anymore.
Did you notice when the mercs were shown the photo of who they were looking for it was Mark in that fur with a gun? 😂
I definitely believe you if you say Seagal's depictions of the natives there is wrong, he only cares about himself onscreen.
omg I just noticed the picture.... well played Mark 🤣🤣
The best part is the end, where Steven Seagull is giving a passionate speech about the environment, *AFTER HE BLEW UP AN ENTIRE OIL RIG* .
hahhahhahh
And that's after he set off several massive explosions in a forest LOL
"We're going to teach you to love and respect nature. Now go stab this bear..."
Kung Fu manatee???!! 😂 😂 😂 😂 it's the most perfect description ever
Guy is a sub contractor for an oil company, flies around in helicopters, rides snowmobiles, etc.. "Hey you guys need to use less oil." This must be based on Al Gore flying around the world in his private jet to "protect the environment".
I always found Steven Seagal movies kind of hilarious. The way he fights sometimes looks like he's just slapping his hands at the enemy. Forgot which one it was where he just slaps a gun out of a bad guys hands, lol. It's just so funny because he acts so serious and tough, but his fights look anything but a lot of the time.
And he runs really weird. Seriously, watch his early clips in Hard to Kill or Marked for Death, he has this weird trotting run with a "I don't know what to do with my hands" kind of vibe.

That's basically what Aikido is, slapping.
The problem with Aikido, is that it's so soft as to be useless except in demonstrations at this point.
@@aaronreid8375He runs like a flippin girl
BTW, the original concluding speech was a whopping 45 minutes long! So the studio told him that he had to edit it WAY back. Plus, this was definitely a vanity project. The studio only green-lit it so he would do "Underseige 2".
Yeah, it is a well known thing they financed this only so he came back for Under Siege 2.
I thought that was the dude's entire career
It's not that bad as a movie, as a vanity project it certainly is better than Cobra.
I love your reviews of newer corny movies as well, especially the ones I used to/still do love.
Thank you!!!
Man, you deserve more subs. Your videos are pretty funny/ entertaining lol.
Something tells me that a Neil Breen-Movie with a Big Budget would essentially be like „On Deadly Ground“ but with a Gouvernment-corruption-Theme and the Main Character killing enemies with his mind and not his fists.
He’s probably spend his entire budget on old laptops he could destroy for no reason
@@seanmatthewking I think Breen would spend his entire budget on hiring some name brand actors to be in scenes with him in an empty warehouse. XD
Breen wishes he could make this movie
The skits in this video are extra funny. Good work, Mark.
Especially that photo of "the man" they are looking for...Lol!
Yeah he is hilarious 😆
That pipe really tied the whole scene together. I do like how there's no opening in the wall for it to attach to though, yeah. Good catch, Mark.
You should tackle Steven Seagal movies he wrote himself and starred in. It’s one thing for him to play himself in movies because he has no range, but it’s another thing for him to play himself in a role that shows us what he thinks of himself.
Worth mentioning, the speech he delivers at the end is actually the truncated version of the one that was filmed: originally it went on for about 11 minutes. The studio said, quite rightly, that there was no way in hell anyone would sit and watch that at the best of times, let alone at the end of an action movie.
If you haven't listened to a podcast called Behind the Bastards, they do a couple of episodes on him. It's a cliche to say 'his life is crazier than any movie he's ever been in', but in his case, it's kinda true, the man is a nightmare and some of the stuff he's said and done, if someone told you, you'd swear they were making it up.
I thought it was 40 minutes.
Seagal is so powerful he can literally punch the racism out of people.
Honestly that might be a great power
@@JoeChillton Imagine being able to do it with "antiracism" too.
Note quotation marks.
Is that a reference to Good Bad/Bad Bad?
@@endlessnoise9173 That is correct, Marks bit on that reminded me of Bryan going off on the same thing. Highly recommend anyone that isn't familiar to check out Good Bad or Bad Bad's video on this movie... and pretty much anything they make.
@@thursoberwick1948 Good one.
I love Sudden Death. I think it was the first R-rated movie my parents were okay with me watching (I was 4-5 years old). The Fight between JCVD and the assassin dressed like the mascot was engraved into my tiny subconscious for years on end.
Bloodsport, Kickboxer, Lionheart and Hard Target. They are the quintessential Van Damme movies for me.
@@silvervalleystudios2486
It's a shame to hear about his addiction and how it pretty much ruined his career. He used to be right up there with all the best '90s action stars. Rick James was right.
Can we also add Sudden Death, Universal Soldier and Timecop to the list please! He's done some cracking films over the years, Hard Target was my favourite.
@@melvert33 Dolphin Lundgren kinda stole the show in Universal Soldier with his charm.
"Sudden Death" was never my jam (something about those kids irked me), but "Timecop" on the other hand...gold.
David Letterman once said, "The other night I was watching some of my old home movies, and I'll be damned if Michael Caine wasn't in the film!"
Mark slipping his pin up into the movie at 14:57 had me rolling.
Plus, I live the cameo from the furcoat in Ghostbusters 2.
dude that bit at the end explaining your costume was the best. Keep up the awesome work Mark!
Somehow I feel like "the native tribe perpetrated a terror attack to blow up the refinery, killing hundreds of people in the process" would probably be a pretty effective argument that the company could use to maintain their oil rights despite technically failing to complete the refinery by the stipulated deadline.
Well it does take place in Murica, and with the way Murica treats anyone who is other than white. Republiklan protesters would have white knighted for the corporation they gain nothing from because they're imbeciles who don't know the difference between climate and weather while calling climate change a "lib hoax" who would have paid off the government to kick the native Americans off of the land allowing them to freely drill every where they wanted until they completely screw the climate.
Right. But that would be interesting. And Steven Seagal can't have that.

The man is a walking, talking giant ego. The funniest part is I feel like life did to him exactly what he deserved.

If only Steven Seagal hadn't lost all credibility, celebrity status, and hadn't gained like 200 lbs. This was pretty much the last time he was taken even remotely seriously by anyone. 5 or so years later he was making low budget garbage movies.
I'd been waiting to see ol' Seagal on here, no better channel to cover his movies 😄
Check RedEyeRevies with all Seagal movie coverd. 😅 That is something.

Mista GG is the king of reviewing Seagal movies.
Steven Seagal: "I must fight a bear!"
Writer: "Why?"
Steven Seagal: "Because I can!"
3:34 wow that is some tremendous special effects. I love how the water interacts with the base of the oil rig.
I appreciate that your channel digs up all of these movies from my childhood that I've obviously forgotten about, but looked so cool at the time. I remember when this came out and it sounded so bad ass. Same thing with "Color of Night." I was 15 in 1997, so I never got to see either of these movies at the time. Now, I'm glad you suffered so I didn't have to.
Seeing a Weird Movies With Mark post notification from YT always makes the day much better - welcome back TO the show!😁
As an oil rig worker for 13 years, I'm afraid that my boss will betray me, set me up with explosives, rescued by a tribe and being chased by mercenaries. I'm screwed, I don't have the ridiculous jackets Steven Seagal wears!
Hearing Mark welcome me back to the show feels like a blanket right out of the drier, warm and comforting
When you showed the quick cut to the close up of the 'picture' of Seagal and it was you, I lost my shit! LOL. Love all of your vids, and especially the Seagal ones.
This movie's a trip to say the least. It's unfathomable how mind-numbling wrong it went. Parts of it kind of work in spite of things, but others because of how badly they're presented-and also in no way helped by how unbelievably messed everything else ultimately is too.
The quality of your videos. The editing. The skits. Hilarious stuff! Always making me laugh. Thanks mate
It always makes my day better when Mark puts out a video . Just hearing welcome back TOO the show puts a huge smile on my face .
Yet another great video and great skits. The fact that your skits aren't "perfect" is what makes them great.
Side note; One day I went to our Local Video Rental (up hill both ways), I asked if they had any Kung Fu movies, and they showed me their Steven Seagal Selection...
That is just sad... wow.
My boy is back thanks for another video keep them coming!
Had to sub after this, even though it's my first viewing of your content. Your deadpan is refreshing!
I feel like major studios are still open to weird movies as long as celebrities are on board.
Remember, in 2019 we got double Will Smith.
Will Smith still hasn't redeemed himself from that terrible excuse of a movie ID4
My guess is Will Smith's career is about to take a noticeable hiatus one might say. Or he might just simply retire from acting altogether.
Honestly, considering his output as of late that might be for the best.
keep Will
Smith and his clone Will Smith's name out your mouth!
I gotta say that the voice actor who dubbed Segal in my country is far better actor than he is, thus giving the impression that Segal, is in fact, an at least average actor.
Deutsch oder ^^
Okay yeah I might have to watch that now.
In my country I've heard Samuel Jackson's voice actor dub Seagal in one of his newer movies and he was for sure doing a way better job
Probably why I thought he wasn't that bad back in the day(I'm a French Canadian who barely knew any English 25 years ago) so every movie I watched were dubbed.
In the bad movie wilderness, there's a Nicolas Cage path and a Steven Seagal path, and they lead to very different places 🙃
YOU DONT WANT TO GO THERE......
Cage has redeemed himself to me as a legitimate actor recently. Movies like Mandy or prisoners of ghostland don't get enough recognition
@@moxxie6.6.6 Con Air was amazing imo
@@jazzabighits4473 put the bunny back in the box
Cage is an incredible actor who often makes awful movies. But no one who has ever seen Birdy, Moonstruck, Leaving Las Vegas, Adaptation, Wild At Heart, Red Rock West, Peggy Sue Got married, Joe or Pig would seriously contend that he can’t act. To mention him in same breath as Seagul is to expose ones idiocy.
man, your videos have really grown on me. subscribed.
one of those channels that charmed me instantly with it's sense of humor.

MARK it's so crazy how you talked about Sudden Death. My sister and I were hate watching it the other day and pointing out all the 90s action clichés. It was so much fun because we were just laughing the whole time.
I I love that you mentioned Jaws: The Revenge. That was the review that introduced me to your channel back in late 2014.
There's the great Michael Caine quote about Jaws 4 " I have never seen it, but by all accounts it is terrible. However I have seen the house that it built and it is terrific"
I just want to note the actual tears glinting in mark’s eyes during his hair monologue.
Mark is a better actor just by fooling around than Steven Seagal is by years of trying as hard as he can.
Art.
I remember seeing this one in the cinema. Back then Steven was amazing, cool and a kick ass master, and we watched him in whatever he was in.
wow this channel is better than most movie channels bc i like the jokes while ur doing this. better than other that dont . nice video
Steven Seagal: protect the environment!!
Also Steven Seagal: thinks blowing up an oil rig and lots of natural features of the land is a good way to do that
Good point. But you do need that big explosion.
Yeah he's such an environmental junky. Meanwhile in Ukraine
God bless my Mom, she loved Steven Segal. I took her to see this in the theaters when it came out. Never saw him again. I think Glimmer Man was around the same time but we avoided that.
Another great video Mark! Putting yourself in the movies is always hilarious. Keep up the awesome content!
My brother & I discovered this movie on SpikeTV back in the day, and it became our guilty pleasure. So many memeable moments, even before memes existed. Having a bad day? Let’s act out the Hot Hands scene. 🤣
And yeah, Dr. Cox threw us off completely in this. Totally kept expecting Scrubs-level shenanigans. Nowadays, I bought the dvd of this to watch when I really need a laugh. Works every time! It’s funny, you even pointed out things I never noticed in all my watchings, like that fake pipe or the already-lit cigar. 😂
Hilarious!!! Earned a new subscriber!! I member renting this on VHS, me and my buddys strapped cola bottles to our BB guns and played Seagal all weekend.
I remember having a friend in school who was a BIG Segal fan. She was into martial arts and had posters and videos of Segal's movies.
I even rented this particular movie back than because I wanted to understand the appeal.
It didn't work.
I had a friend who was a huge fan of his too. I used to deliberately mispronounce his name as "seagull" and it used to really wind him up.
@@bumbumballsquimneck2161 That is the correct pronunciation.
Who are you going to believe, me or Steven?
@@seanmatthewkingto be fair, Seagal is a proven liar.

Never fails! I die laughing every time you insert yourself into the movies . This one with that blonde wig omg! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 “Breen Level” should be a saying! 🤣🤣
Please continue to insert yourself into as many of these movies as possible the wanted photo was the best part of this entire video
I live in Alaska. So, this was a comedy. Completely friggin ludicrous on every level
Damn, adding the fur coat was a nice touch, well done lad.
Steven Seagal was always kinda too goofy for me to buy him as an "Action Hero", this is also why I wasn't suprised when he didn't show up in the Expendables lol
In one of his movies he's supposedly lifting plates off screen, he uses every trick imaginable to look tough
I feel the same way about Mr Segal and his ilk Rudy von Claude dam etc...!!!🙏😵💫🤔
He turned goofy real quick, but as a kid around 13 his first two movies were so cool to me! That scene where he beats up those mobsters with the pool ball in a sock 🤣👍
😀😁
He was supposed to be the villain in the first film with Jackie Chan but he had a lawsuit against millennium films and since Steven didn't do it Jackie backed out also so just imagine how different the original expendables would be
dude your skits are some of the most hilarious, keep up the good work bro. And I learned a lot from some movies that I've heard about but, didn't know a lot of the Back stories on until I found your page right on man.
One day Mark should go hunting down and interviewing the actors from such gems like Mind trap or Champagne and bullets and just ask “why” and “what did it take to star in such films”
2:59 I like the Forrest Taft „fire devil“ logo on his jumsuit
All I see now is what Neil Breen would do with a Hollywood budget
There isn't a truer statement than 4:30. Seeing him in anything else immediately just makes me see him as Dr. Cox and I'm waiting for either a joke or for him to give a lesson to someone. He was so good in Scrubs.
I am completely ready to go down the Steven Seagal rabbit hole with Mark as my guide
This video was worth the wait. I forgot about this movie and it's nice to have a refresher with your insights.
Interesting... Steven just blow up an oil rig. Polluted the hell out of this region, killed lots and lots of fish and other see life, and I don't mention cute, innocent, penguins! And only then delivered environmental speech... Great job.
I wanted to nitpick on your comment and say that there’s no penguins in the Northern Hemisphere but in this movie it wouldn’t surprise me if they were
That was supposed to be the sequal.Steven Seagal saves the Alaskan penguin from global warming
Such a terrible Movie. Not just silly, but really, really crap. On the up side, we did get this review. We had to wait almost 30 years, but we got this review. Thanks Mark, Quality Work by you. '...This Ghost has a rattle and I want to play with it...' Perfect!
So good. Lol
This movie is so much better (if you can believe it) than Seagal's recent atrocities. Mark should have chosen one of the later pieces of crap because, why not go for the easy joke factory?
@@aarondavis8943 Indeed. The more recent run of abysmal Seagal mush would certainly make for a target rich comedy environment. Now therein lies the rub. With so much Seagal Guano to pick through, where would Mark begin?
@@aarondavis8943 This is certainly true, but there are two fundamental differences between this turd and his later, straight-to-Walmart turds.
The first is that though none of his movies can truly be called "good" in any objective sense, this was such a precipitous drop-off from moronic but serviceable actioners like ABOVE THE LAW, HARD TO KILL, OUT FOR JUSTICE, and UNDER SIEGE. Those movies at least worked as braindead action fodder. This one, with all its neo-Billy Jack pretentiousness is laughable to even the most undiscriminating fan of beat-em-up flicks. The newer films may be worse on every level, but now no one is going in expecting anything other than total shit. When this one came out, audiences still expected Seagal to at least deliver some mindless bone-breaking fun.
The second is that Seagal has no expectations anymore, either. He sleep-shuffles his way through movies now, in a comatose state that makes his earlier flat performances seem spirited by comparison. Since he directed this one & slathered it in a big heaping puddle of social message (presumably something about which he felt very strongly), this was ostensibly Seagal at his most passionate & caring as a filmmaker. Yet it lays there on the screen like week-old roadkill. I made the Billy Jack comparison above, and I definitely think that's valid. But Tom Laughlin at his most insufferably dull and self-righteous seemed to care what he was doing, even if no one else had a clue what the hell that was, exactly. Seagal had the reins firmly in his hands here, and he delivered a movie with all the passion and conviction of a blank index card.
"What's cooking," Steven? How about six rig hands, one driller, the company man, millions in environmental fines and lost equipment, and the operator's safety rating with OSHA and their insurance carrier?
That being said, I live in Wyoming and I blow up f**king oil rigs every weekend. Not a big deal.
4:20 Ah yes - the excellent Dr. Cox - also caught moonlighting as one of the Two Bobs in 'Office Space' - GREAT!
Fun fact: Seagal's preachy, half-backed, double-standard speech at the
end was apparently much, much longer (like 20 - 30 minutes),
but the Studio forced him to cut it down to a at least non-lethal level of cringe.
Mark spits facts about those damn paper cuts. I'm like "oh shit papercut, oh well looks alright." Then the next day at work some spills on it and it's pure pain. Shoulda called Steven Seagal.
I worked at a printing company. When you're there your hands are as pristine as newborn. You got home, you've solved the lament configuration.
"What's off the table, Steven?" Omg I love you, Mark. I'm so glad you chose this movie. Pure comedy gold.
And am I the only person who cringes at every interaction with the "Inuit" that depicts them as illiterate nomads, without any actual tribal identification, still living like it's 200 years ago? Segal obviously doesn't know that they, like, live in houses and drive cars and go to college. Jesus Christ.
Edit: Your review is the comedy gold; the movie is just god-awful.
Looks like a recreation of Dances With Wolves. Then all of a sudden, "Oh hey, Dunbear, here is our brand new Yamaha snowmobile"...
If he had any awareness whatsoever, he’d have used his character to get across a message of ignorance. Where he believes they live there and don’t live in the modern times. Only to find out they’re simply camping, and when he gets caught trying to steal their dogs and sled to leave, the dad points and the camera pans over, revealing a car. Would be both a “learning” sort of thing while also being funny. But that would require Steve to make the character he’s playing not perfect, so of course that’s out the window
@@StumbIingforward
There was an interview recently with
Bob Odenkirk talking about when Steven Seagal did the infamous worst episode of SNL he ever remembered. It just sounded like an absolute nightmare with a guy who didn't get the concept, didn't understand what was going on and quote didn't want to be "laughed at" and actually brought in his own stunt people to do a very over the top very preachy scene of him beating up a bunch of ExxonMobil executives. Followed by a look at the camera preachy speech. I believe it's the only episode that they still refuse to release in any capacity and probably only exist on the internet if it's off somebody's like VHS tape or something.
@@StumbIingforward With ideas like that, sounds like you should be a screenwriter. 100% better than the garbage that's out there now. But you're right. Seagal looking ignorant can't happen, because it doesn't match the lighting a cigarette with the very fire you are supposed to put out, or the never turning back on an explosion right behind you, etc..
@@StumbIingforward it would have been a hilarious burn if they did humour him but angled it completely different in the editing, and making a joke out of him being so over-compensating and unable to be self-aware or humorous
"What can change the nature of a man?"
I never knew Steven Seagull was a Planescape Torment fan.
Castration was my first answer but Seagal is just too deep for me to appreciate his cosmic knowledge.
Narcissist multiplied by a complete lack of self awareness to the power of incompetence equals On Deadly Ground.
This movie should not exist but for some reason I can’t explain I’m glad it does.
18:32 - If Seagal put as much effort into his first marriage that he put into this scene, he wouldn't have three divorces and an annulment under his belt.
Good one Mark! Keep doing movies like this one. Need more 1990s bad movies please!
