They used video from Van Damme's The Order

In the beginning of the movie, when Seagal is setting up that equipment to swing into that building, with the grappling gun and whatnot...that is actually footage from Van Damme's movie...The Order! That is actually Van Damme setting up that equipment, but they cut it at times when they are about to show his face. HOW RIDICULOUS IS THAT?!?!?! Come on...if would have taken them half an hour or less to shoot a similar sequence...what is wrong with them? Anyway, it's really not that big a deal, I just found it amusing. If you don't believe me...go check it out.

The car chase through Vegas is also footage from the 1997 film "Top Of The World" and there is footage from many other films by the same production company used. A completely awful film.

I'm glad though that they're beginning to put less effort into Seagal films as he is clearly putting no effort into them at all them at all nowadays. Submerged had a great directorial job, but the prescence of an out of shape and mostly dubbed Seagal really stunk that film up.

Wow, a new Seagal movie that uses footage from an old Van Damme movie???!!!!! What can fans expect next? Maybe a prison scene from "In Hell", or perhaps fight footage lifted from "Wake of Death" can be utilized. I was worried that Seagal won't be able to keep his 4-5 movies a year schedule and still maintain the fine quality of his movies. Obviously my concerns were unfounded. Keep up the fine work Mr Seagal, I can't wait for your next epic masterpiece...
