    Thus making Steven Segal a legitimate military target.

      There’s no chance he’s actually competent at anything he’s doing. Killing him might end with him being replaced by someone who is.

      I wanted to joke about him being a Hard Target, but that’s JCVD.

      The best that I can offer is that even if he’s Marked for Death, Seagal would be Hard to Kill.

    Seagal received Russian citizenship in 2016, joined a pro-Kremlin political party in 2021, and visited occupied Ukraine in August 2022

    WTF? Dude went full Russian. Now I’ll never be able to enjoy the cinematic masterpiece Under Siege ever again.

      well he’s lied about everything he’s ever said, so being pro-Russian is a good fit for him. the dude is at Trump levels of lying about shit.

    This is the Steven Seagal mega blockbuster hit movie where he showed the world that he’s not only the villain in his movies but in real life too.

            Like even in today’s messed up newscycle that would genuinely make headlines 🤣

            I speculate it was a move to distract from some lawsuit/accusations he had going on. (Something about accepting trafficked girls from a maffia or something, it didn’t get a lot of traction)

      The only Steven Seagal movie I would watch is Steven Seagal being forced to load a Bohdana Howitzer shell after shell after shell while he complains.

        Now there’s a good movie.

        I’d also watch one where he gets punched in the face every time he tries to open his mouth.

          That would be sick if like every scene started as a big long parkour routine that is kind of also a chase scene, at the end of this whole crazy acrobatic movement through a dense city the parkour acrobat dives through the open window of a coffee shop, does a perfect tight roll, and punches Seagal in the face just before he can say something to a random woman minding her business who doesn’t want to talk to him.
