90s action movie star, one time actual martial artist, but for the last twenty years he's mostly been an embarrassment. And then there's the sexual abuse allegations!

Wasn't he an aikido "martial artist"? Like the "least martial" martial art?

I was going to just call it straight up "fake," but this redditor actually wrote some pretty good stuff about it.

I'm giving young Seagal the benefit of the doubt because the vibe I get from him in that era is that he still cared, although I admit I honestly have no idea and maybe he was grifting all along.

Who is this guy? he's an actor who makes his own movies and writers his own effusive character summaries of himself as the commensurate badass of all badasses, to be delivered on screen.

I remember even at age 10 when I was trying to jump kick and karate chop everything, finding this shit cheesy.

Under Siege is just Die Hard On A Boat But Worse.

Also did you know Steven Seagal has it in his contract that all his movies need to be titled such that it can be said in the trailer that "Steven Seagal IS [movie title]"?

lol hell yeah, what a nut case. it amuses me when weirdos like that police their identity as a brand, especially for something so absurd like an actor trying to make sure everyone "knows" they're a real tough guy.

meanwhile, he looks and moves as though he would get absolutely murdered by a flight of stairs.
