I called Seagal for info about this movie.


He told me it's about a team of scientists who go to research some stuff at the bottom of the sea. They find a horrifying discovery...the biggest mammal ever discovered...STEVEN SEAGAL!!! He eats everyone, and thus the movie ends.

I really think that all you people are really sad and should give Segal a break. How many of you have acted in succesful movies? Also he is a world class martial artist and how many of you can say that? He is also one of the few western people to have openend a successful dojo in Japan, have any of you done that?

And do you really have that much time on your hands that you have to make fun of a movie that hasn't even been made yet? Seriously you people have no life!

The internet gets a bad name due to you people.

I like Steven Segal, ok he is not the best actor but his movies are fun and do exactly what they saw on the tin, so all of his detractors cant buzz off cause he obviously has plenty of fans or else his movies wouldnt keep getting made!

reply

"How many of you have acted in succesful movies?"

I haven't, and neither has Seagal in the last 8 years....


"Also he is a world class martial artist and how many of you can say that?"

I can't...but neither can Seagal anymore, he WAS a world class martial artist....


"He is also one of the few western people to have openend a successful dojo in Japan, have any of you done that?"

No......can't say I have, but what does that have to do with his movies?


" like Steven Segal, ok he is not the best actor but his movies are fun and do exactly what they saw on the tin"

Belly of the Beast...I saw a Belly!!!!
Out for a Kill....I saw the end of his career!!!
Hard to Kill....Submerged was announced!!!!

reply

It seems like people dont seem to like straight forward action movies any more. As i said above this movie hasnt been made yet so why make a fool of it?

Also if people hate Segal movies so much then why do they come onto the IMDB and go to the Segal boards? Just to make a fool of him? Take it back to school children.

I said it above, Mr Segal's movies must make money or else they wouldnt keep getting made so he must be popular.

As for the above message, Segal's movie Glimmer man was good, so was Executive Decision, last 8 years...

Ok he is prob not a world class martial artist anymoere but he was so that deserves some respect from you nay sayers.

As for him opening a dojo in japan, it made him noticed by the studios and also gives him clout in japan as he must be massive over there(popularity)

His movies are fun and if you dont like then, then why are you on the Steven Segal Boards?

reply

>As for the above message, Segal's movie Glimmer man was good, so was >Executive Decision, last 8 years...

Glimmer Man was watchable...mainly due to Wayan's comic relief....was it successful? 7 Million Opening Weekend at the BO....

Executive Decision wasn't a Segal Movie, sure he was on the VHS cover...but didn't he die in the first 20 Minutes?

reply

i think seagal was dead before the 20 min mark, perhaps by the 15min one...

as for his career (can you call it that?), i havent like a single movie of his since under siege 1 that was worth the time it took me to watch it. though i did like the first 5 of his films for thier straight-up-action with hot-leading-ladies-showing-thier-tits-at-least-once style. ah the mark of a good action only movie. tits of leading ladies...

ooops, sorry, tangent. where was i? oh yeah, fatty mcfatterson, er steven seagal, i mean, yeah, well lets just agree that his career went nowhere except straight to video (or dvd now i suppose).

i would NEVER go to the steve seagal boards, hence why i am on the submerged board for the anthony hickox film... NOT the seagal board. if you followed this thread from the beggining you would see that this thread is about possible plots for the MOVIE 'submerged', NOT the lifeless carreer of a washed-up, would-be, karate/judo-wannabe, previously (about a decade ago) successful actor-turned-behemoth, fatty mcfatterson... f*ck, i did it again... i meant steve seagal. sheesh, he really should just change his name.



hate the world and the world hates, love the world and the world still hates you.

reply

Hey your good, ever think of writing for Madd magazine? Segal put Martial arts back on the screen after Bruce Lee. You should read up on Segal before you write stupid stuff cause your bored. Hey, there is one thing you cant do that he did.... Kelly Lebrock ring a bell??

reply

Hey hey, there is no need for that. Comparing Segal to Bruce Lee is like comparing a diamond to a freshly squeezed turd (Bruce Lee being the diamond). I mean there are ways to improve this movie, but the plot would need some fairly radical alteration. For example Segal could play a beached whale with a ponytail named Nico, who would be an under blubber federal food inspector that rolls around breaking the noses of mob employed dolphins with his flippers. Then he could even do some spinoff work, say 'Free Nico 1-9' or 'The search for Nico' subtitled 'search for seconds'. The possibilities are endless.

P.S. I think Kelly Lebrock was some third rate D movie actress with a flat chest. Correct me if I'm wrong.

reply

That whole Fatty McFatterson line had me laughing for days.

Films Coming Soon:
1) Fatty McFatterson in "A Fridge too Far"
2) Fatty McFatterson in "Supersize Me 2: The Mac-Wars"

reply

"Segal put Martial arts back on the screen after Bruce Lee."

That's not true; Jackie Chan did. Even if Seagal was the best martial artists in the World, one has to admit that he's among the worst actors in Hollywood. He's as bad or even worst than Vin Diesel.

reply

LOL...where have you been????? JACKIE CHAN????...CYNTHIA ROTHROCK...PLUS MANY MANY MORE.....i dont think you have a leg to stand on with the point your making.

reply

[deleted]

... he is a world class martial artist ...


As he has never been in competition, this claim is hard to substantiate.

He is also one of the few western people to have openend a successful dojo in Japan


This is not true. He was involved somehow in a dojo that was started by the father of Miyako Fujitani (his first wife). Some sources indicate it was his wife who actually ran the place. He then stole her money and ran off to America to commit bigamy.

and Seagal run away from a fight against Rickson Gracie a few years ago

reply

ha,ha,.... " the internet gets a bad name due to you people"

And Uruguay gets a bad name due to Mr. Seagal's movie.
It's not about Mr. Seagal. I think he is a great actor, but my Country is not full of terrorists and bla,bla .Please !!!! I know is a very small Country, but it doesn't mean that you can use its flag in bad concepts.

reply

Making fun of a movie not yet made?? well its been made now..and what a pile it is..even my son who absolutely loves seagals films said dad its rubbish turn it off...saving grace is vinnie jones...this my opinion anyway...but hey who knows someone might like it!!!!

reply

Totally agree.Some people ought to give him a break.

reply

I think some of the plot ideas in this thread will probably be better than the real plot. I'm sure I'd rather see Fatty McFatterson version!


reply

[deleted]

Just a quick question. Is he going to be wearing that long leather trenchcoat inside the submarine??? Because if you look at the last few movies - Foreigner, Belly of the Beast, Out for a kill, etc... his only attire is a long leather trenchcoat to cover up his new found belly. I give the man his credit. In his peak he was good. Movies like Under Siege rocked, but its over now..

reply

He's fighting mutants in a sub, how great is that? I couldn't ask for more!

i'd like to see steven make a good picture. maybe a match with michael moore. no mater who looses we all win. i have my money on seagal. steve's ok, he has much much more money than me. and before Iraq i use to watch things blow up, not so much anymore. i have it, a movie about the battle of bagdad, may 1941, between the between the british and the iraqi nazi party, later called the ba'ath party.

Wuahahahahahah i was rofl for 5 facking minutes .... are you a comedian?



reply


Who made the karate/judo comment? Why I oughta...

Steven Seagal does Aikido. There's a world of difference. Err...well, some anyway. I've done aikido too for 13 or 14 years now which is why I'm always prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt. That doubt has been stretched through incredulity and out the other side now though. He's always the same character: an overweight man in a black shirt (probably with a dragon or a tiger on it) who doesn't like using violence (but is very good at it). He'll almost certainly be a former member of some elite force or other, returning home to do something peaceful and be dragged back into the fight in order to protect his niece/sister/hamburger from the drug dealers/terrorists/fat kid next door. He'll probably speak 2 or 3 words of spanish or italian. He'll probably fashion some sort of weapon from everyday objects. He'll probably hold a knife in a funny way. And he'll definitely, definitely, DEFINITELY break someone's nose/arm/leg.

And it's at this point that I have to draw the line. It's great that Fatty McFatterson brings Aikido to a large audience BUT HE SHOULD BLOODY WELL DO IT PROPERLY!!! There are times whe it's appropriate for an aikidoka to use a break, but he ALWAYS does. How about a nice nerve pinch and wrist lock? Bah.

Sorry, but I feel very strongly about this.

And he runs like a girl.

so what that hes fat! look at sammo hung hes twice seagals size and hes a very respected martial artist and extremely hard. although it is a shame to see that seagal has got so fat.
hes still good at the hand to hand stuff but its usually blatanty obvious that he has a stunt double for his kicks - they always shoot it from behind or to one side.
i liked exit wounds, but for every half decent film he makes theres usually 5 dodgy ones that follow it. i still have faith thatll hes got a few more good films in him. he just needs to pick better scripts. maybe team up with another well known martial artist instead of a rap star, how about van damme?

Ok listen up Seagal movies arent on acting its on fighting repeat fighting not acting!!!. so don't go dissing Seagal he's a good fighter and his movies are based on fighting. What do you expect Seagal to be in a romantic comedy?

reply

Ha ha! Actually, yeah. I'd like to see him in a romantic comedy, alongside Adam Sandler (that'd be a cool fight) and Lucy Liu.

It could be called Meet the Focking Fat Last Ex-Action Hero.

reply

The problem with Seagal's fights is that they're ALL THE SAME!!!

He also uses sloppy technique (although his technique in real life is good) and runs like a girl.

I can´t beleive what they have done, haha, this movie is horrible, the movie was situated in Uruguay, I am from Uruguay, the country is not like that, in my country everyone is laughing because of this movie and the image this horrible director made of our country, it looks like a country in africa!!, some details are really funny, the names of the cities, for example, they put "El Diablo" instead of "Punta del Diablo" because "el diablo" sounds nicer, i can´t beleive it! is like filming a movie about english life filming in somalia! we don´t have dictators here like it was shown, we´ve been in democracy since 1985 after a period of 11 years of dictatorship sponsored by the US government, also the dictator was called "El Presidente" (translated "the president"), is this a joke? i think this movie was filmed in bulgaria, we don´t have a guerrilla army that shows papers of "revolution" instead of "revolucion", i´m asking the director, do you investigate about the country you make a movie?????, I think that they have chosen uruguay in random, that´s the only explaination to this joke

reply

Oh No.. we've offended the Uruaguayans..!

i'm a black belt in jiu-jitsu, and so does my little brother.

Why is it that you sincerely hope it's English this Brazilian fellow is studying? To paraphrase you, it's a post, not a bloody grammar forum!
Also, if you're so persnickety about correct language, learn how to spell (I believe you have already been advised as to the correct spelling of the word "Uruguay").
Back to the film, it does not really "mock" anything. Mocking, sir, would imply imitating something in derision. There's no imitation at all going on in the movie, they simply picked the name of the country, the national flag and other elements and then (without even googling for actual information) they concocted a fabulous version of their own, tossing together every stereotype biggoted Americans may have about countries south of their border. It's only logical that people who feel strongly about their country and their national flag will react vigorously.

I am really sorry you say that, I am a Uruguayan student in a New York university for the past 3 years, sadly, your comments only reinforce in me that the only stuck up here is you, idiotic? you lack culture.

People from the United States (Americans do not live only in the US) have a lot of great qualities, but sadly they get blinded about anything external from their county, and I did not misspell right there, I DO mean county, you are not very informed about your countRy. You do not know its geography when anyone else in any other country knows their respective geography and then learns about the rest of the world.

One thing that I have learned is that a lot of people in the US are extremely egocentric and do no give a damn about the rest of the world, the only thing they do is strong arm everyone into doing what they want.

One example, oil, they b1tc# and moan about how a 2 dollar galon is so expensive and it is all the stupid terrorist arabs fault, then you invade countries, then, you keep your lower (because 2 dollars is ridiculously cheap) prices while the rest of the world has to suffer increases in the price because of the war, I did not think that some (not all, I´ve met a lot of good people) people in the US, like the person who wrote that absolutely ignorant post would be so blind and uncultured, but sadly, they are, so to finish this post Mr. Steveday, why is it that if you (who I´m sure has 5 different american flags, and moans about bastard terrorists and kill them all, and pro-war) get so angry when you see on TV people burning the United States flag, think you can sweep under a rug people stepping on OUR Uruguayan flag and burn our culture like they do in that movie?

and before you say anything, I am Uruguayan, and this is the first post I have written.

hey, guys, don't get mad... Here, in Uruguay, this film is a success! If you look for a great COMEDY, of course! it's hilarious!!!
and, by the way, steveday... do YOU have a life besides imdb.com??? you seem paranoid about different IDs and put comments every 10 minutes...

reply

Dude, you're sad.
So, everitime you run out of arguments you try to sound convincing just by saying we're all the same person with differents IDs? well hey, newsflash: we're not all just as pathetic as you are.
And pleeease, sweet sweet steve: if you don't like our English, please be my guest and speak some Spanish for a change? I'd be happy to laugh at your misspellings. Oh! wait...that's right, I forgot you were an ignorant ass and don't know the slightest thing about it. So, you shouldn't be complaining much about us, now should you?

Oh, but it was fun though. Thanks ;)

Reconforta leer mensajes racionales como el tuyo. Soy uruguayo, vivo en EEUU y mi experiencia no es que pregunten si hay inodoros, a diferencia de personas de otra nacionalidad (cuya curiosidad demuestra al menos cierta cultura por aprender) directamente no preguntan, no les interesa un joraca absolutamente nada fuera de sus fronteras (mm, a menos que tengan petróleo?). Pero es cierto eso de que, históricamente, cada imperio cae antes que el anterior. La ignorancia de su gente será factor determinante en la caída de este.

No te calientes jobesz, a esta gente ignorante no la vas a cambiar, estoy de acuerdo con lo que dice m4rccd , hay que ignorarlos.

A ellos se ve que cuando van a la escuela en el mapa solo le muestran EEUU y aun asi, yo se mas de su pais que ellos mismos.

Steveday, you don't need to tell us you don't speak spanish, we all know that, americans are the only people that speak only ONE language.
