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.

We'll just have to see.

That's the dream, eh?

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.

Hard to Lift.

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.

You'll always have the cake scene

It stops being after Nick Nolte and TLJ die anyway. Great movie with a dead weight lead

Yeah bro we're all well aware the US and Russia are the axis of evil, you don't need to keep reminding everyone every time someone points at Russia.

Have you seen how fast he walks in this movie though

Carmakazi@piefed.social · 23 pts · 107d (1 reply)

I always think of this video whenever Steven Seagal comes up. Dude's a joke and has been for a long time.

Squizzy@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 106d

He looks like Brando in a few of those

RanryuuRain@sh.itjust.works · 12 pts · 106d

Somehow not surprising.

Isn't Seagal connected to the mob? Doesn't he do PR for Russia now?

TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 106d (1 reply)

I thought he was dead?

otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 8 pts · 106d

That's the better timeline, neighbor.

If you guys are surprised at this news, boy do I have some news about his buddy jcvd.

phoenixz@lemmy.ca · 7 pts · 106d (3 replies)

.... Which is?

FreddiesLantern@leminal.space · 2 pts · 106d (2 replies)

He wanted to become an ambassador to Russia. (Totally out of the blue)

resipsaloquitur@lemmy.cafe · 1 pts · 106d (1 reply)

A long con to kick Putler in the face?

FreddiesLantern@leminal.space · 2 pts · 106d

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)

Tylerdurdon@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 106d (3 replies)

Oh shit! Is this his next movie? Is he going to beat up the entire Ukrainian army this time?

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.

espentan@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 106d (1 reply)

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.

supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz · 6 pts · 106d

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.

Jumi@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 106d

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.
