things to looke for in this movie...


steven segals fat gut.

treaches bad acting.

gun play that makes no sense (treach uses his gun like a camera to look around a

corner during a fight with the asians)

bad casting.

MY FAVORITE: steven seagal acting what he think is black and talk cool.

plot holes.

low budget mimic music (fake tupac song)

pointless conversations between treach and steven

cheesy special effects

the wanna be vodoo connection (stevens wife can sense things)

feel free to add on as you guys see fit.

did you notice his stunt double was African /american and had dreadlocks

reply

Well one walking down the stairs (why he needed a stunt double for that I do not know) had a goatee and was about 15 years younger!
Also the initial kung-fu moment saw 'Seagal' with a bad wig and just some legs flailing...
but the comedy greats...

The choice lines 'you walk like a blackman but breath like a killer'

The fact they did some poor ad-libbing, the driving miss daisy scene, Steven, you aren't funny man

The fact Steven was getting busy with his wife, she was all skimpy in lingerie...Steven was wearing a t-shirt and a hoody zipped up...way to get sexy!

The blue screen when they were running to the helicopter!! OH MY GOD!!

The tumbleweed when they picked up the cars soon after

What was the obsession with the blonde girl, the wheelchair bound all american cutey? 'Shes gonna be ok?' Hello, was she pinacle to the plot?

The fact some scenes were repeated, I saw that prison bus pull up looking the same each time, and the pan on the hallway and the yard...seems they really must do the same thing everyday...in excatly the same position!!

However this was much better than the other seagal movie I watched; Mercenary for Jusitice and had a Bros member in it..that was poor poor poor!!

Another thing to look for - a story.

If you can find one in that film let me know.....

personal favourite: when the s-man throws a guy with long sleeves through a window but a dude with a vest comes out of the other side.

personal low-point: when that "bad"("I was born with the devil inside me"???WHAT!?!?)guy steals a line from strother martin in the movie cool hand luke the "what we have here is a failure to communicate" oh god i wanted to kill him and myself and then return from the dead to kill the writers....is that a tad harsh?

"yeah, well in prison he'll be the pie"

reply

i was just about to create a post about the man thrown out of the window!

classic *beep* up!
