Thus making Steven Segal a legitimate military target.

[-] nova_ad_vitum@lemmy.ca 16 points 1 month ago

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.

That's the dream, eh?

[-] msfroh@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] MushuChupacabra@piefed.world 4 points 1 month ago

Hard to Lift.

[-] DickFiasco@sh.itjust.works 68 points 1 month ago

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

[-] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

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

[-] Luminous5481@anarchist.nexus 20 points 1 month ago

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.

The US is funding and arming a genocide in Gaza, drop Hollywood altogether

[-] yucandu@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

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.

Not so aware it seems, since OP didn't drop the film even if it comes from american imperialism until they realized theres a pro Russian behind

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Have you seen how fast he walks in this movie though

[-] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 month ago

Unter Siege 🤔

[-] Carmakazi@piefed.social 23 points 1 month ago

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 points 1 month ago

He looks like Brando in a few of those

[-] RanryuuRain@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 month ago

Somehow not surprising.

[-] null@lemmy.org 7 points 1 month ago

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

[-] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago
[-] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 month ago

That's the better timeline, neighbor.

[-] Tylerdurdon@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

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

[-] supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz 9 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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 points 1 month ago

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 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] FreddiesLantern@leminal.space 6 points 1 month ago

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

[-] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 month ago
[-] FreddiesLantern@leminal.space 2 points 1 month ago

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

[-] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.cafe 1 points 1 month ago

A long con to kick Putler in the face?

[-] FreddiesLantern@leminal.space 2 points 1 month ago

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)

[-] Jumi@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

My life a movie, frfr
