What about the filming problems?

Does anyone remember the fuss made when seagal turned up late for filming and left the set early. I remember reading from the producers (or someone involved) taht it left irrepairable story problems. Does this mean the finished film will still have the problems? OK, I know seagals films are not renowned for stories, but that's not the point. Action is great, but the film must be complete too. Why did seagal leave the set early anyway? I think the other film affected was Black Dawn as these two were filmed back to back.

If you look at the trailer, you'll see that some scenes come from other movies. The carchase is the same one from the movie Top of the World (look at the old policecar models). The shots of the prison are from the movie Undisputed. The big explosion that you see in the trailer is from the movie No Code Of Conduct. So I think you can say that the film wasn't finished. They just took scenes from other movies to make the movie complete. Seagal's voice is also dubbed again.
This is also a bad sign for Mercenary. But people who don't know about the scenes taken from other movies will see a good action movie. We also, but we know that it's not filmed, just ripped.

Glad to see someone else recognised the Top Of The World footage. Judging from teh trailer, this is going to be a new low for Seagal.

There is no dubbing of Seagal's voice in this that I could tell (other than by himself, that is)
