Under Siege is the only Seagal film that isn’t an unintentional comedy. It’s got an incredible supporting cast, including Tommy Lee Jones and Busey, and it’s arguably the best Die Hard clone. Plus it has Erika Eliniak’s tits.

Out For Justice is both hilarious (Seagal walking around with a beret and trying to be an Italian gangster-cop) and it has his crowning beat-down - the pool bar massacre, along with some of his best fights all round. The final fight, where he throws Ritchie around like a giant fat toddler before sticking a corkscrew in his brain is gut-bustingly funny.

Marked For Death has the best final kill, it’s like something from a horror film, plus some decent fights.

Under Siege 2 has some very brutal kills including the hilariously one-sided fight with Penn - who is built up to be Seagal’s evil twin. It has a bigger budget, but not big enough - with some of the worst effects and use of stock footage ever to make it into the cinemas.

On Deadly Ground has some strong kills and, for some reason, Michael Caine WTF!?

I found Hard To Kill to be rather tame, same with Above The Law - the kills aren’t brutal enough.

After Under Siege 2 in 1995 it basically went downhill. What made the early fights so great was the wide framing and clear choreography. Whether it was because Seagal just became too old and fat or he started working with shit filmmakers, everything since then is over-edited mush with sped up footage, close-ups, and so many cuts you have no idea what’s going on.
