Steven Seagal's last major failure

[@andrewcoulthard-clark]

According to actor Stephen Tobolowsky, Segal told the director half way through shooting 'Glimmer Man' that his character 'couldn't kill' anyone, and forced the production to reshoot all of his scenes.

[@mrcritical6751]

And Stephen has to basically make up a lie to Segal to make him kill his character saying “my character is in pain, you’re freeing me” which Segal initially agreed to , only for him to suddenly decide weeks later when filming the follow up scene to blurt out “thank god I didn’t kill that guy” and refused to not say it

[@andrewcoulthard-clark]

@mrcritical6751 You know the story! I loved Keenan Wayans reaction of face palming and remarking "We have now entered the realm of high comedy..."

[@jekw23]

I advise everyone to watch the clip of Stephen telling that story. I chuckle just thinking about it.

[@martinhavelock5106]

This film is a bit of a guilty pleasure for me, only because of Marg Helgenberger being in it, and being so damn gorgeous.

[@SNiew-ud6pw]

Glimmerman was a fine movie. Remember when i watched it in the theater.

[@scottyjbd]

I remember it the exact opposite and haven’t seen it since

[@goodbyeseeyalater]

I've been watching Steven Seagal movies for like 85 years.

[@only1icon1801]

Steven Seagal does prove we can't always say "films were better in our day" Stolen a living that knob 😂

[@herociouz]

He ducked a fist fight with JCVD after trash talking him for years. 0 respect for this punk.

[@srico7313]

Stebum Sodumb deserves even less respect then that .

[@Gametester110-qf8vs]

*Glimmer Man is one of his Best movies!* I don't care what anyone says, it's a legit, Good action movie. This was also Segal at his most LIKEABLE too. For once he wasn't just another Hard nosed cop type.

[@benjaminfoley919]

I'm going to throw some salt at you cause you have no taste.

[@thetalentof]

Glimmer Man is his most rewatchable and a great Friday night flick for cop buddy genre lovers.

[@leeweesquee]

​@@benjaminfoley919clap frigging clap

[@leeweesquee]

Its a watchable movie, certainly no Under Siege

[@TheNostalgiaRider]

I enjoyed the early Steven Seagal films. The Glimmer man I thought wasn’t the best. But Fire Down Below I enjoyed but it had its problems. Great video! Keep up the great work!

[@mikoajryniak2644]

Wasn't Exit Wounds his last big budget movie? That was suppose to revive Steven's career again, but failed.

[@leeweesquee]

Last theatrical

[@Grant25]

It was a surprise hit but he quickly went back to video stuff

[@Papa-kj3eh]

Nope the one with Ja Rule was. Prison movie.

[@ShinRyojin]

Exit Wounds was supposed to be his big comeback. It did well at the box office but DMX stole the movie so it did nothing for Seagal's profile.

[@Boyer316]

Marg Helgenberger, you poor woman

[@thetalentof]

Definitely one of the best small town / corrupt sheriff movies out there along with 'Walking Tall,' 'Red Rock West' and 'Rebel Ridge.'

[@Cars_Dogs_Cats]

Seagal is the low hanging fruit I'm we've all come to "admire".

[@JohnnyDelco]

I love Fire Down Below 🤣

[@ilankonikov7249]

very good movie. enjoyed it so much in theater

[@turnpiketumbler8938]

I thought, Fire Down Below, was one of Segal's better films!

[@dc9662]

Would you mind adding the sources for your videos? I like the videos, but sometimes I just want to know more about your topics.

[@whysoblutube]

Saw Glimmer Man once on laserdisc and don’t really remember it all that much except for the moody/edgy opening credits - this had come out the year after Se7en and any film that had a serial killer of some kind had some crazy opening stylized credits. 😂

[@JimmyBircher]

I got tired of karate movies and stopped watching them. Every other movie was a karate movie. It took Hollywood awhile before they noticed people didn’t care anymore.

[@KrisBryant99]

Better than the shit we got today 😅

[@andrewh3264]

I'll be glad when they notice that about all the superhero stuff today.

[@martins.muleya5742]

The third John wick actually cost $75M not $55M as you put it.

[@KinoReel-c4f]

My bad.

[@danieldelavera9212]

I thought "Half Past Dead" was Seagal's last major failure 🤔...

[@KinoReel-c4f]

$25 mil. budget only

[@StanleyRunk]

I contributed to what box office these made 🤷‍♂️

[@KinoReel-c4f]

You tried to save Steven

[@SepRoyle]

It a shame 🫠 😔

[@TheNameisPlissken1981]

Actually, Jeb Stuart's script for Fire Down Below changed greatly. I read it in the mid-90s when Keenu Reeves was set to star and it was a simple murder mystery with a little action. Years later, when I saw the finished product, I hardly recognized it. Actor Richard Masur (The Thing, License To Drive) co-starred, in the first act, as Steven's boss. In the end, his part and the entire first act were reduced to flashbacks during an opening montage!! Truth is, the script was never that great script to begin with. I think, originally, Stuart wrote it on spec in the late '80s. So it sat around for many years.

[@antfrancis9941]

Prime Seagal: Nico, Hard to kill, marked for death & under siege.👍

[@Bored_Barbarian]

He has fallen so far since :(

[@TrevorMoses312]

His DTV film MERCENARY FOR JUSTICE, made in South Africa, wasn't that bad, all things being considered.

[@needleontherecord]

He might have ended up in B category movies a little later? He built his career on B movies and then ended up as a Z actor.

[@KinoReel-c4f]

Did you hear the budget nubers of his movies? Not a B category movies.

[@thetalentof]

He only worked on theatrical releases for WarnerBros during the first part of his career, that makes him an A-list action star by definition (and same for Van Damme with Universal).

[@paulf1999]

His early films like "Marked For Death" were pretty good, but his direct to video/DVD films especially "Attack Force" (with its odd voice dubbing/ADR) is a thrash, bit a substitute for sleeping pills!

[@needleontherecord]

Harrison Ford or Tom Cruise would have been an A lister back then. Not SS 🤣

[@thetalentof]

@@needleontherecord WarnerBros are part of the big 5.

[@shadow_dancer]

Another Seagal hater, nothing special here.

[@striker44aa]

Your right. As soon as steven comes back from missions I'm ukraine, he's gonna whoop his ass

[@KinoReel-c4f]

Hater? What did I say to deserve to be a hater?

[@tozot2]

Yeah, Segal Is a great actor... In his own mind 😅

[@srico7313]

Stebum Sodumb deserves even less respect then that .
