What Happened To Steven Seagal? - Out For Justice (1991)

[@beepster991]

Fun fact, Full size American sedans and wagons from the 80's (including the Lincoln Town Car) still had full length bench seats in the front to accommodate three. The shifter was mounted on the steering column.

[@richworld1979]

When Steven Seagal has Alzheimer’s and is living in an old folks home, he going to walk around the hallways yelling “Anybody seen Richie?!?!”. “Who’s hotdog is this???”

[@Fluffykeith]

This film is actually a fairly decent action movie....it has some fun dialogue, the action sequences are pretty good, it keeps a good pace, it has William Forsyth... The big problem is that there’s no stakes. As they say at the beginning, Richie knows he’s going to die so he’s just dicking around until Gino catches up to him and kills him. Other than occasionally killing randoms and trying to get Gino before Gino gets him, he doesn’t DO anything with his last night of life. There’s a lot of shoe leather of people trying to find Richie....and Gino is never really presented as being in danger. He experiences no setbacks, no point where he gets beaten down and has to come back from it. Even when he gets shot near the end, it’s just a minor inconvenience. And that’s the same problem as ALL his early movie....he was so fixated on his character being a badass that there’s never a point where it seems like he could lose.

[@Djp2987]

the added filler montages too. as far as steven being invincible, that was his gimmick and i dug it. after Segal shit his pants in this, extremally cocky attitude during under siege and his ego....his gimmick got old and so did his films. william forsyth is the shit!!!! i like him and clancy brown. very underrated.

[@strafer8764]

It’s one of the best martial arts movies

[@Billy-bc8pk]

Nah, the purpose of this film was similar to The Dark Knight -- Seagal was an immovable object and Forsythe was an unstoppable force. The whole point was that you wanted to see two fearless guys finally duke it out at the end. This is one of the rare times where Steven coming across as invincible made sense because the entire build-up for the movie was to finally see these two throwdown and for someone who wasn't afraid of Richie to finally give him his comeuppance. In that regard, I think this film worked perfectly for that premise. As for his other earlier films -- Seagal definitely had his toughest time in Marked for Death and Above The Law, the two films where he arguably took the most damage from the villains (also Hard to Kill, but only during the first half, then he becomes invincible during the second half). I thought Seagal films were great for their gritty, grounded, street-level stories. These days we rarely get these kind of films -- they're usually thrillers or poor imitations of Taken/John Wick. But what made Seagal's earlier works so good was because they had a lot of street-level believability to them and the fight scenes were wicked brutal.

[@Fluffykeith]

@@Billy-bc8pk It’s interesting you mention Above The Law, because that’s the one that got me thinking about this issue. In that movie, he gets tied to a chair and tortured, including pain inducing injections....yet it makes to difference to the final showdown. He’s captured, tortured, breaks free and kills all the baddies with no actual difficulty or impairment to his abilities. It’s like the similar scene in True Lies, except THAT was played for laughs. This wasn’t. The damage done to Seagal doesn’t matter because it doesn’t pose any setback beyond a few minutes of watching Henry De Silva having to speak some really stupid dialogue. It’s the John Wayne Problem. JW would often get shot “in the shoulder” to show that he wasn’t invincible, but it ultimately wouldn’t matter. It simply emphasises his effective invulnerability, because the damage inflicted is narratively superficial, and actually becomes the opposite of dramatic stakes. Instead of showing him to be human, that he can suffer and be hurt, it instead highlights that, from the perspective of the story, he actually can’t. Seagal never learned that lesson and in Out For Justice, he literally takes a bullet in the shoulder right before the final fight with Richie...and it makes no difference to anything...and after all his previous brutality, Richie spends a few minutes being thrown around a kitchen before being killed. There’s never a point during that fight where it looks like Richie might even be a threat to Gino. Contrast that to “Nobody”, a recent movie that seemed like just another in the “Ex CIA comes out of retirement when pushed too far” trope....when the protagonist in THAT finally admits its time to stop pretending to be a meek Everyman, and stands up to the thugs on the bus...that fight is BRUTAL, he’s a MESS, it gets painful to watch because while he Farages Them Up good and proper, the reality of him being outnumbered by younger guys means they get their hits in and he suffers for it.

[@lukewright9031]

For me this was when Steven Seagal peaked, that looking back at his earlier work the characters had now become interchangeable and his limited wardrobe for black clothes only made it worse.

[@mladenkulic446]

Seagal's golden age of movies, man...those were the good old days.

[@bannistervoid]

Hey I get it, Seagal is a great target for jokes. But let's be honest here, anyone who grew up in the 90's knows how awesome those movies were. Hard to Kill, Out for Justice, Marked for Death and Above the Law were all bangers that we watched over and over again. Of course Bruce Lee and Chuck Norris will always be the kings of this genre, but at my table there's always room for Mr. Seagal.

[@Billy-bc8pk]

Same here and well said.

[@strafer8764]

Too many people are sheep and just jumping on the bandwagon of making fun of him now. His movies had great choreography. The fight scene at the bar was awesome. On the other hand no one is making fun of Bloodsport and the acting and choreography in that is amateurish. They didn’t even have basic physics down. One scene JCVD kicks a guy and goes the opposite direction of the kick. Never saw a mistake like that in a Segal movie.

[@bannistervoid]

Agreed. Check out Joe Rogen's segment about him, he's actually a real martial artist trained in Japan in Aikido. @@strafer8764

This movie was shot in my neighborhood. I was about 6 years old and I remember my Dad (who was a huge Seagal fan even years after he was demoted to DTV features) being all excited that they were shooting a Seagal movie nearby.

[@spacedisco612]

A lot of 80s & 90s cars had bench seating in the front including the Lincoln Towncar, the rear facing 3rd row seat in a Taurus wagon was my personal favorite from that era

[@aikidoboynj]

Yeah even smaller Buicks had the bench front seat

[@kastle1972]

To be fair the stick fight is from Kali, FMA or Filipino Martial Arts, it's a sword, blade, stick system. The individual he's fighting is Dan Inosanto, one of Bruce Lee's students & his best friend.

[@jcrowellz2000]

5:42 That's Master Dan Inosanto. The man who introduced Bruce Lee to the nunchucks! At 87, he's still doing seminars, just saw him at one in Tulsa last weekend. The man still has it

[@TheCrapOnYourStrapOn]

The ford LTD had a bench front seat so you could seat 3 people relatively comfortably. My parents had one decades ago. It caught fire in a lowes parking lot one night.

I used to laugh watching this, the part at the start he’s at the trunk of his car with the beret on and the guy says to him “get him” Seagal mumbles “I do what I do.” And the other part is when the bad guys are driving around and they are talking about the rat one of them has in his apartment and one says “You gotta shoot dat rat bastad.” Still gets me 😆

[@wizcoolc1]

This was a good one, back when his movies were still cool. It was a really good fight scene at the end and the acter playing Richie made a good villain.

He was never physically impressive though even in his early movies. Sly, Arnold, JCVD, Lundgren or even Willis and Swayze were just more imposing. I have to say that the first Under Siege is a great movie, but that is despite Seagal, not because of him.

1:49 That's 18 Ave. and 86 St. in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn. This place is just yards away on 18 Ave. where Travolta was strutting at the beginning of the movie Saturday Night Fever. The F train takes a turn at this location (train station is behind that movie shot). That's also the same place where the famous train/car chase was in The French Connection. Fun fact: Where Richie shoots that guy in this scene, there was a pastry shop (to the left of the camera shot). This was around 2006 or so. My friend run into Steven Seagal there at the entrance. He literally smashed his face into Steven's chest lol. From what I know, Steven's parents used to live in one of these houses on the way to Bay Ridge, so my wild guess is the pastry wasn't just for Steven (at least I hope) lol.

A lot of people believe that bar scene where Seagal was asking if anyone seen Richie was filmed and planned in by the director. But little known fact is that Seagal came out of his trailer and was very angry that his dealer Richie left the set before he could make a full purchase. So he was walking around the set asking if anyone seen Richie and the crew was recording and used it for filming.

Former hotdogger here... You're correct Red Eye. I got a hold of a filthy hot dog when I was 7 and it took over my mind and body for 32 years. Everything was for the dog. I didn't care about anyone or anything. Only that succulent, floppy frankfurter. I lost my big wheel, my girlfriend stopped holding my hand and my Mom was beyond ashamed. It's not everyday your 7 year old becomes a hardcore hotdog junkie. It only got worse from there. By the time I was 15 I was head first into the underground sausage racket. Smuggling in ultra high fat kielbasa from a small operator in south east Asia. I made a killing during Madi Gras selling it genuine andouille 😂 In my 20s I was living large. High on the hog. I owned a fleet of Oscar Meyer Weinermobiles and had a whole crew slinging my salty sausages to everyone. Johnsonville started to take notice of my empire around 2015 and let me know in not-so-many words that I had better start stopping sling sausage soon... Or I'd be taken to the grinder FOREVER! So I stepped down and divided up my empire among my meaty mates and retired somewhere south of northwest. For the last few years I've been attending MITFA (meat in tube form anonymous) and it's helped. I have only fractions of what I used to and scrape by working as a consultant for people looking to start their very own ant farm. It's a simple life, but it's mine.
