seagal's skinny stunt double

Why did they feel the need to have Seagal faking jumping in the air and doing all these things that everyone knows he's too fat to do. They have just kept to Seagal doing basic hand combat moves and a couple sloppy kicks, which is what he's been doing since Marked for Death. I don't think the guy who did all these movies (romeo mush die, exit wounds, cradle 2 the grave) is a good director because he always uses those dam *beep* wires for every fight. Oh god! I can't stand it!

In a "making of"-document was a scene where Seagal beats the gang that's trying to steal his car. Scene where someone tries to shoot Seagal from behind, and Seagal does that cool kick where he goes down and kicks the guy in the head. That's Seagal himself. And also in a car-jump scene, that's Seagal and that's the scene where he hurt his knee when jumping.

I thought he got back in shape and outdid himself on this-it was probably his best movie, the only other one as good was his first (Above The Law). I think I liked this one even better, though, because of the comedic relief. Tom Arnold is usually annoying as hell, but he was good here.

Ah!! That would explain why he appeared to be waklking with a slight limp. I didn't think he was doing his usual walk ..which is a cross between a waddle and a swagger (a swaddle?...a wagger??)

They needed to do the wire stuff because Hollywood is worth *beep* now, and it's a damme shame. Plus, he wasn't fat when he did this movie. Wire aided fights are the worst thing since George W. Bush.

If you people watched the movie, you'll notice he wasn't fat in it, he was healthy and solid. This movie was shot in 2001, 7 years ago. Since then, yes, he has put a on some weight, but the guy is nearly 60 FFS. What do you expect? As a 50 year old filming Exit Wounds, he was in great shape. Give him a break. He was very flexible and athletic for a 50 year old If I do say so myself.

That is sad but true. I think it has something to do with him losing a contract with Warner Bros regarding the filming of his movies. In fact you'll notice many of them were shot in Eastern Europe.

As a 60 year old, I can understand him being fat now as his metabolism would have changed as it does.

Still my favorite actor though.
