In later movies Steven Seagal does not actually walk, they just move the sets around him and the bad guys run at him from the front so all he has to do is wave his arms around.

[@emberparadox458]

Holy shit Brad, did you actually cameo in the series finale of Empire? That's so awesome!

[@Obliviousralph]

Back when I was at University I worked part-time in a bookshop. We used to have a middle-aged guy come in a lot, really friendly, affable guy, everyone knew him as Elvis. Anyways he doesn't come in for a few weeks which is strange. When he next comes in I asked where he'd been, he told me he'd been filming a movie with Steven Segal. My reaction to this was "Yeah sure," and thought nothing of it. Few months ago by and he brings me a copy of a DVD, turns out the guy's real name is Chooi Beh and sure enough he was a villain in Out for a Kill. Really weird seeing a guy I sold magazines to being decapitated by Steven Segal.

[@Thraim.]

Wait wait wait... There was a time when Stephen Seagal could do more than one face?

[@sleepykitty8918]

It was a time long ago. Legend has it he will someday make other faces again, but his followers still wait even to this day -_-

[@MrDevious88]

I guess the fat stopped up his facial muscles.

[@mombosibes107]

Those are the effects of drinking too much that magical flower tea. For most of the people it give you some fucked up trip, but for Seagal, he makes some differentes gestures.

I love these movies complete misunderstanding of what the Founding Fathers believed in.

[@SpeedyEric1]

[@cjwrench07]

They are exactly like other extremist groups, anything that contradicts what they WANT TO believe is totally ignored or deliberately misrepresented.

[@ramboraph4life]

I've seen and reviewed all of Steven Seagal's films on my channel...I love the old school films of Seagal (Out for Justice, Marked for Death, etc. even The Glimmer Man I enjoyed)...but let me tell you... If you ever go down the road of the Pantheon of Steven Seagal Direct to Video flicks for Snob Reviews? Trust me...you'll have a LOT of material to work with Brad. Black Dawn where there is literally McDonalds wrappers on the dashboard of the vehicle he is driving. Submerged with Seagal saying the immortal line "Cocksucker Motherfucker!" Attack Force where they destroy the virus by throwing a grenade and blowing up the computer. Today You Die which steals footage from movies like Top of the World with Peter Weller. And much more. You'll have a field day.

[@troublesomezorua]

Like most doctors he's taken an oath to "do no harm... except with wineglasses, that crap's awesome!"

[@Writer10389]

"...He's got big "I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed" energy." that's the hardest I've laughed in a while

[@5TailFox]

It's wild, because today, Steven Seagal's political leanings closely resemble the ones held by the dudes he fought _against_ in this movie.

[@ryandowney8743]

The guy playing the villain is best known for being a goofy side character in Ernest movies. And he seems to be doing really good acting here, he seems intimidating! He's certainly acting circles around Seagal, but that's not saying much.

[@suprememaz]

It’s based on “The Last Canadian”. Then why isn’t this a Zap Rowsdower movie?!

It says it's based on “The Last Canadian” but it doesn't have anything to do with it, except that there's a deadly virus. Kinda weird.

[@ZergrushEddie]

I remember watching this movie probably 15 years ago. It was late at night and I thought it was the Mel Gibson one. To give the movie some credit: the camo wearing jackholes who start a deadly outbreak because "the real America is being taken from us!" are not, I repeat, NOT the good guys. So, yeah, late 90's Seagal and not mid 2010's Seagal...

[@jadedheartsz]

as bad as this movie is it's still way better then that Mel Gibson shitfest

[@JonathanRodd]

Does the movie ever explain why Seagal's character is such a badass fighter? I mean, he's just a doctor. Does it mention he served in the military or something? :P

[@manticorephoenix]

As far as I can remember, no. His connection to government agencies is the only explanation or rather implication as to why he would have those fighting skills but I don't remember them having a scene with an R. Lee Emery type explaining how badass he is like in Deadly Ground
