On Deadly Ground (1994)
My relationship with Steven Seagal is strange. Even I don’t entirely understand it. While Seagal is very much laughable now (yet still enjoyable), I genuinely love his early films – and that’s a mostly irony-free love. Above the Law (1988), Out for Justice (1991), Marked for Death (1990) and, to a lesser extent, Hard to...
Um… what the fuck, Seagal?!
There’s no denying that Steven Seagal likes breaking necks. He also enjoys breaking arms and throwing motherfuckers through windows too. But he really, really likes breaking necks.

Seagal will take you to the bank
I was planning to post a clip from Nekromantik for this week’s clip of the week, but Daily Motion instantly rejected it! Instead, enjoy this amazing line from Hard to Kill (1990). Hard to Kill isn’t Seagal’s best, but this line seriously makes the whole movie worth watching. Thanks, Seagal!
