Just how tough is Steven Seagal, really?

[KO'd N DOA]

Steven Seagal is tough.
I mean, if I had have the calamities that he has suffered, I would have already Seppuka myself, to save face.
Brazen even.

Are you really the hypothetical (legendary?) judo delivery system+aikido moves Angel of Death? How does it feel?



Link to Stooges rider? I really wouldn't have thought that they'd be that up their own arses...

No, it's hilarious, and was written by one of the roadies, I think. Check it:

Lol. Thanks. Yeah, under all that, it seems pretty reasonable. I couldn't really imagine Iggy & co. being the type to swagger in, demanding to be treated like kings.

Big rock stage shows have a lot of details that have to be right, because you've got pyrotechnics, huge displays, giant aplifiers and many, many bystanders crammed together. Things have to be properly anchored, supported etc, and everything has to come together just right for some of the epic rock shows planned. Adding "no brown M&Ms" to a list is a way to test if all of your requests were actually read and executed properly.

Heard this confirmed by David Lee Roth himself in an interview. It was done to confirm if the rider was actually read. It's turned into one of those rock star legends like Frank Zappa drinking a jar of spit from the audience or the Richard Gere "gerbil" story.

It's a shame that JCVD often gets compared to Seagal. He totally doesn't deserve that (JCVD I mean).

The man had fights. If only he'd already had the cool van fuckin pseudonym, already in effect, everyone would know that.

Bloodsport > anything Seagal did. IMO.

EDIT: except for Glimmer Man, that horrendous dull-spoon-lobotomy of a movie takes the cake. The grand cow pat prize, if you will.

Yeah, it's kinda annoying when people still believe that JCVD is a former ballet dancer pretending to be a martial artist, wheras Seagal is the real deal 'cause he was a Green Beret/Navy SEAL/CIA black ops in Vietnam, trained directly under Ueshiba, he fought in deathmatches against the Yakuza, went on to create the H2H fighting system for the US special forces, etc. (I suppose that you can add on 'taught MMA fighters how to kick' now).

Well that was a good read if you don't mind me saying. Enjoyed quite a lot of it. Not a big fan of Segal, always thought he was a prick and I've heard of a few actors refusing to work with him and I think a few film companies wont have him anymore though my information may be off.

I did read John Leguizamo say that he was a bit of a diva, though I read this on wikipedia years ago and I think the comment as been taken down so that comments legitimacy may be more than questionable.

However there's plenty of stuff up online about what he did to his ex wife Kelly Brookes (I think) and well with the info read here I'd say the fellow is a bit of a nob.

Also, there's a few vids on the TGWTG website where one of the sites many reviewers (film brain) had a Steven Segal month and reviewed some of his recent movies keeping a count how often he'd used a sound a like to dub him over and stunt men for the fighting, walking... anything that requires physical exertion. Maybe you guys and galls should give them a look for more Segal fun.

As for JCVD I heard a rumor a while back that he'd slapped a make artist while doing Universal Soldier, he and Dolph apparently got into a fight about it to. So if that rumor is true, I'd say JCVD isn't innocent. Also, wasn't he booted from the set of Predator for purposely hitting a stunt man... Not sure about that one neither but I had read it somewhere on the internet (obviously the most valid source of info :P) However as said by many-a-member here he did have a legit career in martial arts, he did fight and looking at his record he was pretty good at it.

Also I thought the movie JCVD was pretty much his apology for his poor behavior in the past so if that is true... I guess he at least acknowledges it and seems to regret some of his actions.
