[@MoreBuffMoreMuff]

Out for Justice is a classic. "Anyone seen Richie?!?!" "Sticks! Get 'em!"

Seagal was huge in the late 80's early 90's. Everybody knew who Seagal was.

[@Rascarrr]

[@victorcoleman949]

Now he's just huge...

[@maximusareilius2262]

Was huge ?

[@BRUCEJJ66]

Exactly, he's more huge now then ever, at least 350 pounds ...

[@danhathaway7984]

He eventually turned into a joke but it's silly to pretend that he didn't have a very nice streak going at the start of his career.

"He runs like a half a fruitcake." 😂

[@DiedrichKnickerbocker1783]

I didn't know fruitcake could run. Must be pretty special dessert.

[@kiillabytez]

At least he can run.

[@metalphobos3632]

Hard to Kill was one of my childhood favourites. Above the Law, out for Justice, Marked for Death. Those movies were awesome. The bone breaking was what truly made me love those movies. Yeah, theyre cheesy now, but growing up with Segal, Van Damme, Stallone, Arnie.... Forget about it.. "Im going to take you to the bank, Senator Trent. To the blood bank."

[@MarkanVaran7]

lol that's a great line though

[@caronandgful]

Hahaha...@the blood bank. Menn nostalgia

[@metalphobos3632]

@@jgfjgfifyI'd agree. For those of us who grew up in the 80s and 90s we had it pretty good. Robocop, Die hard, Rocky, Rambo, predator, Terminator and on and on. Oh and Segal/JCVD movies. That will never be touched.

[@tarunkhem6391]

Completely agree! I grew up watching Seagal! Out of all the action heroes, he was my guy! Can watch these movies anytime! What memories! - Above the Law, Hard to Kill, Marked for Death, Out for justice, under siege and under siege 2

[@aikidoboynj]

It's very true. Although this may be somewhat controversial, among the action heavyweights of that time, for me Seagal's early movies hold up the best when watching today, there is really not much gimmickry to them, very straight forward.

[@LuckyDT]

Above the Law is not a movie, but a documentary.

[@DavidLLambertmobile]

It could be re-made in 2020 Chicago IL, still topical... with a young actor like Michael B Jordan ...

[@jackmehoff5541]

AINT NOBODY UPSTAIRS!!!!!!

[@freaker126]

the point of aikido was not to hurt your opponent. Once, a student was angry at the master and going after him but the master only evades and didn't try to take him down until the student got tired and apologize. That's why everyone was surprised when Seagal showed a different version of aikido in the movie. People forget it's just a movie. Real martial arts in real life are different. In movies they prolong the fight, in a real fight, it's not a competition. You need to finish it in an instant. Kick his knee, break his elbow, poke his eyes, etc.

[@xxxSlavetraderxxx]

He sounds like an dirty ashtray

[@malenotyalc]

Nope - just pointing out the irony of a fat fuck with a fungus toe like Joey who cannot even take a pill for it because of his high blood pressure is making fun of someone in peak shape because of how they look when running. To me that is the best comedy. A fool if there ever was one, Joey Coco Diaz.

his first 5 movies were fucking awesome. Above The Law, Hard To Kill, Marked For Death. Out For Justice and Under Siege

[@davidwatson6472]

He runs like the Japanese actors in the early samurai movies.

[@charleswrightman205]

The tattoed actor they refer to is Robert LaSardo. Look him up on IMDB. He works a lot.

[@MarkanVaran7]

[@theironforce3000]

[@zyzzyvacation]

He appeared in "Hard to Kill" (1990) and "Out for Justice" (1991) with Seagal 🙏

[@jaycosper8048]

Thank you.

[@lawrencemckeon6802]

He did the fight choreography earlier for a Japanese movie called "The Challenge" which is damn good, and historical. This boxer goes to Japan, and gets wound up in a martial arts school, while dealing with a very valuable stolen sword. The boxer learns the hard way how to contend with old style combat arts. Very entertaining.

[@redheadboyyy123]

Steven Seagal’s movies work when they’re crime films that happened to have martial arts. Under Siege works because he could pull off the Navy SEAL action star look

[@JosifovGjorgi]

Seagal movies worked, because he had great support cast, real talented actors (Michel Cain, Tommy Lee Jones etc ), but he didn't realize that and he taught he was Brando, so he was hard to work and after 10 years, no serous production will cast him as a star, because no real actor will work with him

[@marcelolibermandeloreto5252]

Above the law was one of the first movies i saw on vhs player and the style of akido made me a fan of Steven Segal movies. I did Hapkido in my old town only because some moves are akido moves and there wasnt an akido dojo on my town. I have to say those akido moves in hapkido are efective but you have to truly master it.

[@DoubleD42]

"joe, c'mon, he's a half fruit cake" hahahahahahahahaha

[@georgemartinez8405]

Steven Seagal is the reason for the modern fight scenes, in my opinion. Long before Jason Bourne & Taken Franchises, Steven Seagal with his Aikido was quick to the point on taking the opponent out on camera. He also changed the view on martial arts, cause before him all we knew was the Bruce Lee, Chuck Norris, & Van Damme style on screen.

[@c7lee]

Perhaps in a western view. Plenty of martial arts fighting scenes out east were being made from time.

[@castle6660]

Also the Gun fu scenes... Decades before John Wick movies...Seagal was mixing hand-to-hand combat scenes with gun shootout scenes. Breaking an arm throwing them across the room shooting someone... Shooting someone else then clotheslining someone.

[@JC-fq7ks]

Under Siege a badass movie

[@imawarrior313]

Joe "Joey is the kinda guy I immediately judge (and rightfully so) when I see him filling his face with food, whisky, and cigars at the bar" Rogan

[@LeaderHeat]

This is one of those movies you have to watch once a year.

[@chadsknnr]

Regarding Seagal's depiction of aikido, I've heard that he was using an older style of aikido that is more aggressive than what was taught to the public in later years. In other words, Seagal didn't add striking to aikido, striking was part of his training . . . .

[@1234567890sunshine]

Joe is the only person I've heard defend this guy

[@AztecUnshaven]

actually both Luke Rockhold & Cormier have stated that Seagals skills are legit.

[@Dags470]

Joe tears him to shreds about legitimacy of his credentials usually, but credit where credit is due.

[@discostu2246]

[@acquiesce100]

I have done Aikido for 25 years because of Seagal and I have to say to this day out of all the Aikido instructors I have seen, Steven Seagal is still the greatest Aikido master of all time. That's not because he was a film star but if you see the real footage of him from his early days in Japan you can still see how fantastic he was.

[@acquiesce100]

@dejuren Yep - I guess things can happen to you when you are no longer in your 20s but instead your 70s

[@overthewebb]

@dejuren true it's kinda sad as he is a Grand Master in Aikido. However, watch the Jesse Enkamp video with Steven Seagal on youtube. It's worth a watch, he's done two vids wirth him

[@tomzimmerman8]

​@@acquiesce100no, no. You're not going to excuse him because of his age. He's been awful and weird for YEARS!!!

[@acquiesce100]

Well, whatever you think of Seagal he did what no other Aikidoka has ever done before and put Aikido in a very positive light. A lot of Aikidoka are jealous of Seagal sensei. I get that and I understand but Seagal was head and shoulders above them all, like Michael Jordan was head and shoulders above other basket ball stars.

[@williamdevito7253]

Aikido is great if you generally dont want to realy hurt people. its a series of throws and flings to deter people. also good for deflections and edge weapon defense. def a deterrent art. its legit in that regard. i recommend it if you just wanna deter people.

[@ked1013]

I achieved shodan in aikido and will agree it’s got some use and I found jujitsu combined a great style

[@Colechamdiceman]

Diaz always sounds like he's got 3 chewed up Famous Amos cookies in his goddamn jowels when he's talkin'

@E. Buzz Miller I'm no expert, but if I had to guess, I'd say it's regurgitated taco phlegm with damson plum clafoutis ooze mixed with frowzy bile glop.

@E. Buzz Miller Not at this time. It seems Joey had been on quite a burrito bender prior to this particular airing, which is why he went taco and not burrito. Coming into the show he'd been undergoing burrito insertion suppository therapy, which was prescribed by the leading authority on burrito twinge constipation. This would cleanse his canyon-sized rectal cavity of any residual burrito crud. At this point in the therapy his transverse colon and esophageal sphincter would have been moderately cleansed of burrito debris. I do a lot of research on this topic as do my sources, so we're about 73% certain this is taco killage spillover and not burrito bunghole savagery. I'm contemplating writing a book on the subject in 2020. It's epidemic, bordering pandemic.

[@Murry_in_Arizona]

Less "Aikido" more, much more Daito Ryu Aiki-jujitsu and/or Aikido from the pre-war Shioda Gozo school that never paid much attention to the "Mystic BS" coming from the Honbun dojo. Aiki-jujitsu is the parent art and served the Takeda clan very well for over 500 years. Aikido has been presented as mystic BS since the 1970's. The Cat to talk to is Eillis Amdur last I heard living in Seattle. Very big in the mental health business de-escalation techniques for LE and mental healthworkers. Soke for two different Koryu schools, spent years in Japan. His dvd on break falls (Ukemi-from the ground up) should be mandatory for anyone over 30 even thinking of starting a martial art.

[@handsomestik]

what they don't mention about Seagal was that he held a pistol correctly compared to the other action stars.

[@srajad3]

[@seric4546]

Say what you want about Seagal but the first fight scene in ATL is badass! When that movie came out Van Damme was all the rage with his spinning flying split kicks and here comes this guy throwing knees, elbows, hammer fisting guys in the nose and throwing them around. It was a breath of fresh air and the close range street fighting style had never really been done quite that well in film.

[@aikidoboynj]

Exactly. I kinda hate watching other fights in movies now because they suck in comparison.

[@Getsitdone]

I took classes at his dojo in North Hollywood before he was in the movies. Insane! I thought he killed his black belt on the 'clothes line' move.

When I was a kid in the mid 90s long island had a "karate studio" pretty much in every little shopping strip you could drive by. They'd all be the same thing a bunch of kids throwing kicks and punches in the air like they were line dancing. There was one Aikido studio a friend if mine went to and he strutted around like a bad ass thinking he could catch real punches and flip a person. When we were in middle school he picked a fight with this smaller kid who wrestled and got absolutely worked. Kid tagged him with a punch which he tried to catch and didn't, got tied up and dropped on his head and then the kid just started kicking him while he covered up like a turtle. A group of us went to my friends house a couple days later to go see if he wanted to play basketball and on the curb he had straight up thrown out 4 or 5 bath robe looking "uniforms" and some belts. One of the other kids asked him if he got new pajamas and he slammed the door and wouldn't come outside.
