Steven Seagal is bad at laughing but loves his guns

While Seagal is not all that great at laughing, he knows and loves his guns. He proves this by delivering a rambling, clearly adlibbed monologue filled with fun facts and gun-praise to a few bemused cronies.
Final Score (1986)

Final Score (1986)

Final Score is a film on a mission. A mission to deliver more punches, kicks, broken bones, dead stuntmen and exploding houses than any other movie, and I think it might just have succeeded.
Cynthia Rothrock hates kissy-fingers

Cynthia Rothrock hates kissy-fingers

"Paybacks are a bitch, aren't they, sugar?" Yes. Especially when they involve games of kissy-fingers.
Steven Seagal doesn't know how or when to laugh

Steven Seagal doesn’t know how or when to laugh

Steven Seagal has a famously ridiculous run. His flailing arms and wobbly hands are a wonder to watch. But there's other things Seagal can't do... like laughing properly.
Seagal destroys a restaurant

Seagal destroys a restaurant

In this infamous sequence from The Glimmer Man, Seagal annihilates a restaurant, its occupants and a cannoli, even going as far to make a concluding smarmy gag about his handiwork to what must have been a very confused person on the other end of the phone.
Excessive Force (1993)

Excessive Force (1993)

It's cheesy in the right spots and brutal when it needs to be. If you want to take a break from Seagal and Van Damme but still have a hankering for 90s action, Excessive Force is a worthwhile sidestep.
How to open a movie according to Traxx

How to open a movie according to Traxx

The opening of any film is important. It introduces important characters, establishes the story's world and its rules, and, perhaps most importantly, sets the film's tone. I'd be hard pressed to name film that meets that criteria better than Traxx.
Street Fighter, Hong Kong style

Street Fighter, Hong Kong style

In this post are two clips that heinously misrepresent the vast majority of Future Cops. They are action-packed, shot rather well, and most likely not directed by Wong Jing.
Who Killed Captain Alex (2010)

Who Killed Captain Alex (2010)

Who Killed Captain Alex is a blast throughout its short length. And personally, I found it kind of inspiring. These men from the slums of Uganda use every resource they can to make movies and entertain people, no matter how silly they turn out.
Cynthia Rothrock destroys Richard Norton with a thousand kicks

Cynthia Rothrock destroys Richard Norton with a thousand kicks

Well, maybe not a thousand, but there's certainly an inordinate amount of kicking in this clip from Lady Dragon.
Kathleen Wilhoite's creative insults

Kathleen Wilhoite’s creative insults

Wilhoite pumps out some of the most gloriously creative insults I've ever heard. I can't decide on my favourite. It's either "dinosaur dork" or "jizzum breath".
"Sorry about your house, buddy!"

“Sorry about your house, buddy!”

This is my favourite scene of shit blowing up in Action U.S.A.. The house of some superfluous hicks gets in the way of a car chase, and, for some reason, IT BLOWS UP!
