Filmography

Filmography. Steven Seagal.
Above the Law (Titled Nico in Europe) (1988) – Playing a Chicago cop Nico Toscani who discovers a web of corruption in the city's police department, directed by Andrew Davis. Nico Toscani (Steven Seagal) is a cop in Chicago's vice squad. Born in Palermo, he and his family immigrated to Chicago when he was seven. It was also early on that he developed an interest in martial arts, and soon he moved to Japan. From there, in 1969, he was recruited into the CIA, and after a brief tour in Vietnam, he came back to Chicago to assume his current role.

Nico and his partner Jax (Pam Grier) are now investigating a drug ring, and after busting two of the dealers, he discovers plastic explosives. Shortly afterward, in a twist of events, everyone Nico arrested is suddenly let go, and Nico is asked to stand down, not to mention the fact that the priest of Nico's parish is killed in an explosion as a Mass is ending. Then, soon enough, Nico has police searching his house and is asked to turn in his badge. Nico eventually finds out the dealers he busted are linked to a corrupt CIA agent named Kurt Zagon (Henry Silva), who tried to fund an invasion of Nicaragua, and was under heat from Congress to reveal his undercover operations. When he finds out the priest's death was of Zagon's making, and with one particular senator who is trying to bring him down as his next target, Nico seeks to bring down Zagon and all involved with him at any cost. Nico eventually kills Zagon when he breaks his neck.

Hard to Kill (1990) – Playing a cop out for vengeance, with assistance from a nurse (played by then-wife Kelly LeBrock). Mason Storm (Steven Seagal) is a police detective who is investigating a mob meeting taking place by a pier. He spies on them with a video camera, and captures on tape a shadowy figure telling the other people that they can rely on his political support, emphasising this by saying "And you can take that to the bank!" Storm is spotted, but manages to get away. Driving home, Mason informs first his partner then his friend Lt. O'Malley (Frederick Coffin) that he has evidence of corruption (unaware of another pair of cops listening in), and will be bringing the tape to them soon. He goes into a store to get drink and a teddy bear to give to his son. The store gets robbed by men, one of them shooting the clerk. Mason manages to stop them; afterwards, he goes home, intent on celebrating with his wife Felicia (Bonnie Burroughs). Before he does anything, Mason hides the tape in a small hole in his kitchen wall. When he goes upstairs, though, corrupt policemen, including Jack Axel (Charles Boswell) & Max Quentero (Branscombe Richmond), working for the politician break in and proceed to murder Mason's wife and shoot him. Mason's young son Sonny, (Zachary Rosencrantz) manages to hide until the danger passes (at the same time, Storm's partner is shot by a masked assassin whilst seated beside his window). At the hospital, Mason is found to be alive, but in a coma. Lieutenant O'Malley informs the medics to tell people that Mason died, to prevent anyone from coming back for him later. Mason is set up by the corrupt policemen as having murdered his wife and committed suicide.


Seven years later, Mason wakes up from his coma, having spent all this time in the hospital. Andy (Kelly LeBrock), one of the two nurses monitoring him makes a phone call, which is intercepted by one of the corrupt police officers who want to see Mason dead. They send Jack Axel to the hospital to finish the job and kill the nurses whom Mason might have talked to. Mason realizes that he's still in danger, but his muscles have atrophied to where he can barely use his arms. He manages to get himself to an elevator, and when Andy sees her colleagues killed, helps Mason escape from the hospital.
Needing time to recuperate, Andy brings Mason to a friend's house, where Mason uses his knowledge of acupuncture, moxibustion and other meditation techniques to bring back his strength and train himself again. While training, Mason hears a commercial for Senator Vernon Trent (William Sadler) on television, who caps his commercial with the phrase, "And you can take that to the bank!" Recognizing the voice, Mason now knows who he has to go after to get his revenge and even mocks Trent's phrase by saying "I'm gonna take you to the bank. To the blood bank!". Mason contacts O'Malley, who comes over with some weapons for Mason. O'Malley tells Mason that his son is still alive - O'Malley took Mason's son in and raised him, sending him to a private school so that he'd be out of danger. O'Malley then leaves. However, Senator Trent's men find the house where Mason and Andy are, and attempt to kill them, but Mason manages to get them both out again.
Mason then goes back to his old house. Posing as realtors looking to see if the house is one that can be put on the market, Mason breaks through the plaster in the kitchen to get the tape he hid. Mason then goes to meet O'Malley in a train station, where O'Malley brings Mason's now teenage son. They don't see each other, because as Mason arrives, O'Malley is already dead having been shot (by Max) while providing a distraction for Sonny to get away. When Mason arrives, he sees his son running away from two of the corrupt officers (recognising one as Max, who helped murder his wife). Mason catches up, kills Max and saves his son. Mason gives the tape to Andy for safe-keeping, and decides to go after Senator Trent at his home.
At the Senator's mansion, Mason sneaks in and manages to take the Senator's men down one by one. Mason fights with Axel in the billiard room, ending with him jamming a pool stick into his jugular. Mason finally manages to confront Senator Trent, and holds him at gunpoint when the police storm the mansion. However, rather than arresting Mason, the police arrest Senator Trent and take him away. Mason is then reunited with Andy and his son, and walk off as the image from the video-tape is played, showing Trent coming out of the shadows briefly, wondering who it is that's taping him.
Marked for Death (1990) – Playing a retired DEA agent who returns to his hometown, to find an evil drug lord in charge. Chicago DEA agent John Hatcher (Steven Seagal) has just returned from Colombia, where his partner Chico (Richard Delmonte) was killed in a confrontation with drug dealers, and John killed the dealers who killed Chico. As a result of Chico's death, John has decided to retire.


One night, John and his friend Max (Keith David), a local high school football team's head coach, go to a bar. A gun fight breaks out between local drug dealers and a Jamaican gang called the Jamaican Posse, whose leader is a drug kingpin known as Screwface. Hatcher battles a few from both sides, killing some of Screwface's henchmen, before the gunfight ends.
The next day, Screwface and some of his henchmen get revenge by shooting up the house that John, his sister Melissa (Elizabeth Gracen), and Melissa's 12-year-old daughter Tracy (Danielle Harris) live in, and Tracy gets shot. Tracy is hospitalized in critical condition.
Hatcher encounters a gangster named Jimmy Fingers (Tony DiBenedetto) and unsuccessfully tries to get him to tell him where Screwface might be and is forced to kill him. Another Jamaican named Nesta (Victor Romero Evans) arrives but Hatcher is able to sit him down but Nesta tells him to go after Screwface alone and jumps out the window to his death.
Hatcher comes out of retirement to join Max in a battle against Screwface, who later breaks into the Hatcher home and is about to kill Melissa, but Screwface leaves upon Hatcher's arrival. Hatcher now realizes that the only way to stop the Jamaican Posse is to bring down Screwface.
Teaming up with a Jamaican cop named Charles (Tom Wright), who has been trailing Screwface for years, Hatcher and Max head for Kingston, Jamaica to find Screwface, whom Hatcher decapitates after a brief swordfight.
Back in Chicago, Hatcher displays Screwface's severed head to the Jamaican Posse to get them to leave town. However, Screwface seems to return from the dead and kills Charles, causing the meeting to erupt into chaos. Max holds off the henchmen in a gunfight, while Hatcher gets into a swordfight with Screwface's Brother (the identical twin of Screwface. Strangely enough Screwface's Brother is his given name). Hatcher kills Screwface's Brother by gouging his eyes to blind him, breaking his back, followed by dropping him down an elevator shaft, in which he gets impaled upon landing. Despite his fury at living in his brother's shadow and being saddled with the humiliating name "Screwface's Brother" he proved a less than formidable adversary.
In the DVD "Directors Cut Revised Ending" the Jamaican gang berated Screwface's Brother when he attempted to seize control in the place of his twin brother. He was leaving the building after being forcefully expelled from the gang when he encountered Hatcher. His initial efforts to befriend Hatcher for killing his brother were rebuffed leading to the one-sided show down. Screwface is easily overpowered and wrestled to the ground in this version although Hatcher then elects to shoot his hysterical and groveling prisoner before the police arrive. Another notable change in this version Charles' was rendered comatose by foul water in Kingston and not injuries. During the course of his prolonged hospitalization he cultivated a long and stringy beard.

• Out for Justice (1991) – Playing an NYPD cop in Brooklyn on the hunt for an old childhood rival who killed his best friend.
• Gino Felino (Steven Seagal) is an NYPD detective from Brooklyn who has strong ties within his neighborhood. So much so that he has an understanding with the local Mob that neither will harm the other.
• In the opening scene of the movie, Gino and his partner Bobby are waiting to bust up a multi-million dollar drug deal. However, Gino sees a pimp beating up a woman and intervenes. Shortly afterward, film's main antagonist, Richie Madano (William Forsythe), murders Gino's partner, Bobby Lupo, on 18th Avenue in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn in broad daylight in front of his wife, Laurie, and his two kids. Everyone knows that the killer is Richie, a crack addict who has been Gino's and Bobby's enemy since childhood.
• Gino knows Richie is not going to leave the neighborhood and he tells his captain (Jerry Orbach) that all he needs is an unmarked police car and a 12-gauge shotgun. His Captain gives him the clearance, providing Gino with a Remington 870 pump action shotgun and a brand new 1988 Chevrolet Caprice 9C1 from the Brooklyn 65th precinct. Gino visits his mob connection Frankie and his boss Don Vittorio to tell them that he is going to find Richie, while they want their own revenge on him for killing a cop on their streets. Shortly after beginning the hunt, he is driving behind a car with a "Kill 'em all, let God sort them out" bumper sticker. The driver throws a paper bag out the window. Seeing that the bag is moving, Gino stops, and finds that it contains a puppy, which he decides to keep.

• Gino starts the hunt for Richie at a bar run by Richie's brother Vinnie Madano. Vinnie and his friends all refuse to provide information, so Gino assaults all of them until they (including the local legend known as "Sticks") are all left bloodied on the floor. He still doesn't know where Richie is, but their attitude problem has been taken care of. This scene is also known for its use of the Sicilian terms "Fanocch" (short for fanocchio, meaning faggot) and "Minchia" (dick) several times. Furthermore, Seagal also utters the movie's most famous and dramatic line with "Anybody seen Richie? Anybody know why Richie did Bobby Lupo?" Another one of the movies most famous lines comes from this scene as Gino utters violently to the people at the bar "whose hot dog is this".
• After visiting a number of local hangouts and establishments trying to find information, Gino eventually discovers that the reason why Richie killed Bobby is because Bobby was having an affair with two women - Richie's girlfriend, Roxanne Ford (Julie Strain), and a waitress named Terry Malloy (Shannon Whirry). When Gino goes to Roxanne's home, he finds Roxanne dead. Gino believes that Richie killed Roxanne before killing Bobby. Gino goes to Laurie's house and tells the widow what's going on. In Laurie's purse, Gino finds the picture that Richie dropped on Bobby's body after killing Bobby. It turns out that Bobby was a corrupt cop who had wanted a money-making lifestyle like Richie's, and Laurie knew Bobby was corrupt. Laurie had found a picture of Bobby and Roxanne naked. She had given Richie the picture out of jealousy, never expecting Richie to kill Bobby for sleeping with Roxanne. Laurie took the picture away from where Richie dropped it on Bobby because she wanted to protect Bobby.
• Gino attempts to get Richie out of hiding by arresting his sister Pattie (Gina Gershon) and by visiting his elderly parents. But because Richie is in a drug-fueled rage and basically intent on going down in a blaze of glory, there is little Gino can do except confront him. Following a tip from his local snitch Picolino, Gino eventually finds Richie in a house in the old neighborhood having a party with his goons. Gino kills all of Richie's men (while suffering a gunshot wound in the process) and has a bloody showdown with Richie. Gino beats Richie senseless and then finally kills him by stabbing him in the forehead with a corkscrew. The mobsters arrive soon after, also intent on killing Richie. Gino uses the lead mobster's gun to shoot the already-dead Richie several times, then tells him to return to his capo and take the credit for Richie's death.
• Shortly after, Gino, his wife, and the puppy are walking along the pier when they encounter the "tough guy" who threw the bag into traffic. Gino accosts him, and the man attacks him in response. Gino kicks him in the groin, causing him to collapse on the ground in agony. The puppy goes up to the fallen man and pees on him.

• Under Siege (1992) – Another Andrew Davis movie, about a cook on a Navy ship who prevents nuclear armageddon. This was his most successful movie.

• A band of mercenaries, led by ex-CIA agent William "Bad Billy" Strannix (Tommy Lee Jones), board the American battleship USS Missouri (BB-63) during her final voyage in order to steal its arsenal of nuclear Tomahawk cruise missiles. They arrive disguised as a musical band called "The Bail Jumpers" and caterers hired for a surprise birthday party for the captain. They seize control of the ship with the help of the Executive Officer, Commander Krill (Gary Busey). They plan to sell the nuclear weapons on the black market by unloading them onto a submarine Strannix had stolen from North Korea while on a previous CIA mission. Several of the officers are killed during the takeover, including Captain Adams (Patrick O'Neal). The rest of the ship's company are imprisoned below decks in the forecastle except for stragglers in secured areas. Strannix and his men take over the ship's weapon systems for defense, shooting down an F/A-18 Hornet, and plan on covering their escape by launching a missile strike into Honolulu that will obliterate tracking systems in Pearl Harbor.
• The only thing in their way is the ship's cook Casey Ryback (Steven Seagal), who is really a Chief Petty Officer and former Navy SEAL with extensive special-weapons and counter-terrorism training. He was relegated to his current posting for striking an officer who had been responsible for his men being killed in a botched commando mission during the United States invasion of Panama. He had lost his security clearance and was only able to serve as a yeoman or a cook.
• Prior to the invasion, Krill provokes a brawl in the galley with Ryback. Ryback assaults Krill and unable to imprison him in the brig without clearance or attracting attention, Krill detains Ryback in a freezer. After the ship is captured, Krill finally recalls Ryback and Strannix offhandedly sends two mercenaries to eliminate him. Instead, Ryback kills the mercenaries and proceeds to cause havoc amongst the boarders with the limited help of Playboy Playmate "Miss July '89" Jordan Tate (Erika Eleniak), an innocent civilian and stripper hired for the festivities. Krill responds by attempting to drown his own crew in the forecastle using the fire extinguisher system. Ryback locates a group of sailors in hiding and along with them, engages a successful counter-strike, saving the crew and eliminating a considerable number of Strannix's forces. As Strannix's men regroup, Ryback shuts down the Missouri's weapon systems, leaving the craft vulnerable to an incoming Navy SEAL team.
• As the battle for the ship continues, the submarine crew shoots down both the Navy SEAL troop transport and its AH-64 Apache escort with shoulder-fired surface-to-air missiles. The Pentagon responds by ordering an air strike that will destroy the Missouri and all aboard. Strannix regains control of the ship's weapon systems and the Tomahawks are loaded onto the North Korean submarine, departing with Krill on board. With the aid of Jordan and his fellow sailors, Ryback uses the battleship's guns, still not yet decommissioned, to sink the submarine with Krill still inside.
• Strannix, standing on the deck, suffers a major concussion from being in the proximity of the Missouri's guns as they are fired. He orders the remaining mercenaries out of the control room as he launches two nuclear-tipped Tomahawks towards Honolulu. One of the two missiles is destroyed by a fighter jet but the other continues on its course. As the sailors recapture the ship, Ryback finds his way into the control room, where he is caught off-guard and captured by Strannix. Strannix lets his guard down long enough for Ryback to kill him and take the launch codes needed to destroy the remaining missile.
• At the end, the remaining crew members are freed from their below-deck prison as the ship sails towards harbor. As he is checked by a doctor, Ryback kisses Jordan Tate as the crew looks on and cheers. The film ends with a ceremony for Captain Adams being held on the decks of the Missouri, showing the captain's casket with flag draped and Ryback saluting in his full dress uniform.


• On Deadly Ground (1994) – A movie in which he befriends an Alaskan Native Indian tribe and fights against an evil oil company. This is Seagal's directorial debut; he also produced. However, the movie underperformed at the box office and damaged his career.

• Steven Seagal plays Forrest Taft, a specialist in dealing with oil drilling-related fires. At a site of an oil-well fire, Taft is told by his friend and rig-foreman Hugh Palmer (Richard Hamilton) that Aegis Oil, his employer, is deliberately using faulty preventers on a new refinery in Alaska and is covering up the fact. Forrest refuses to believe it at first but while fighting the fire, discovers that the preventer is in fact faulty. He tells Michael Jennings (Michael Caine), the rude, foul-mouthed and ruthless CEO of Aegis, but is instantly rebuffed and told that the fire was caused by Hugh's carelessness and nothing else.
• Later that evening, at a bar, Taft runs into Hugh, who tells him to go to Aegis 1, the new super-rig/refinery to get the answers. After Hugh leaves, Taft takes on 15 oil roughnecks then challenges their leader, Mike (Mike Starr) to a hand-slap game, which Taft easily wins. Meanwhile, back at Aegis, Jennings is making a self-indulgent commercial to convince people he is an environmentalist when he is in fact quite the opposite, saying that animals "stink" after petting one. He then makes it very clear that if Aegis 1 isn't running in 13 days, he'll lose the oil rights to the Eskimos, costing him countless billions in revenue. He is told that Hugh is planning to reveal the faulty preventers to the United States Environmental Protection Agency. He immediately orders Hugh dealt with by his henchmen MacGruder (John C. McGinley) and Otto (Sven-Ole Thorsen).
• At Aegis 1, Taft discovers the truth about the preventers and the fact that the shipment of new ones has been delayed at least 90 days. Jennings is alerted to Taft's accessing information by MacGruder, who volunteers to "deal with that problem" as well. Jennings tells MacGruder to deal with Hugh Palmer first.
• Back at Hugh's, Hugh is downloading all his notes onto a disk and erasing his hard drive just as MacGruder and Otto arrive. They first want Hugh to go to Jennings' press conference and take full responsibility for the fire the other day. Hugh refuses, so they then tie him up and warn him that they will torture him to get his notes. Despite this, Hugh still refuses, so Otto breaks two of his fingers and then drills into his leg with a pipe cutter while MacGruder tears his cabin apart in search of the notes. Hugh is finally tortured to death, having refused to tell Otto or MacGruder anything.
• At the press conference, Jennings' assistant Liles (Shari Shattuck) downplays the environmental impact of the spill saying everything will be fine in a few months. No one believes her and the tribal chief, Ittok, presses Jennings to discuss existing problems caused by his company, to no avail. An eskimo woman, Masu (Joan Chen), pours oil on Jennings saying "the blood of their people is upon him." Jennings is angered by the damage to his suit calling the Eskimos "animals." Taft tells Jennings about his trip to Aegis 1 and expresses his disgust for what Jennings is doing. Jennings goes away to change, then informs Taft of another "accident" and asks for his help.
• Taft goes along, but realizes too late that it's a trap set up for him in a bomb-rigged building after discovering Hugh's corpse. Although he is badly wounded in the explosion, Taft survives and is rescued by Masu (Joan Chen) who's the daughter of Silook, the chief of her tribe.
• At another press conference, Jennings states that both the previous oil spill and the latest accident were acts of sabotage carried out by Taft and Palmer. He goes on to say that dead, this should end these "wanton acts of destruction" as well as Ittok's "crass attempts" to sabotage the completion of his refinery on time.
• When MacGruder and Otto are unable to locate Taft's body, Jennings assumes he is alive and angrily orders them to keep looking. Meanwhile, Taft is being cared for by Silook's tribe. Silook refers to Taft as a bear (obviously in a positive way) but Taft, out of shame for what he's been part of, however unwittingly, says: "No. I'm a mouse." Silook responds: "That's what the bear would say."
• After unsuccessfully trying to leave with a dogsled, Silook has Taft undergo a vision quest in which he sees the truth. When made to choose between two women, Seagal opts for the elderly, clothed grandmother, forgoing the erotically-charged nude Eskimo seductress. The grandmother warns Taft that time is running out for those who pollute the world and charges him to teach them that lesson. To make a point, she has Taft place his hand into water, the instant he does, the water changes to oil.
• MacGruder and Otto arrive at Silook's village, demanding to know where Taft is. Silook denies knowing, but Otto finds his damaged coat. Enraged, MacGruder roughs Silook up, prompting the tribe to defend him, MacGruder pulls out a gun and kills Silook before leaving. Taft returns just before Silook's death. Silook tells him that he is now a spirit warrior and tells him to fulfill his task.
• Jennings berates MacGruder for killing Silook, mostly because of all the witnesses and orders him to increase security for Aegis 1. Taft and Masu leave in a snowmobile for Hugh's cabin, where Forrest finds the notes and disk that Hugh was killed for. Otto and some henchmen arrive at the cabin, but Forrest makes short work of them, killing Otto as well.
• When Jennings tells MacGruder just how dangerous Taft is, he suggests hiring a group of New Orleans based mercenaries led by Stone (R. Lee Ermey) to finish off Taft once and for all before he can do anything to stop Aegis One from going on-line.
• Taft visits a friend and examine Hugh's disk, which tells him that the moment Aegis 1 goes online, it will explode, causing an unprecedented environmental disaster. Taft gets a cache of weapons ad heads up to his own cabin where he gets a quantity of mines, C4 and other explosives. Meanwhile, Stone, MacGruder and his mercs are looking for Taft. Stone reveals that Taft may have once been CIA, making him even worse of a problem. Over the course of the hunt, Taft destroys their chopper and kills two of their team members.
• At Aegis 1, Jennings has acquired the help of an FBI Anti-Terrorist Unit, who prove to be quite useless as they bail right after the first few explosions. Forrest goes through everyone who tries to stop him with minimal effort. MacGruder and Liles realize they shouldn't be there and flee. Taft kills MacGruder by throwing him into the escape helicopter's tail propellers where he was slashed to bits while Liles crashes her truck into a gasoline tank and explodes, incinerating her in the process. Jennings, still determined to succeed, decides to get one pump on-line, which will keep his leases no matter what happens. As this is happening, all of Jennings' workers are fleeing, with Jennings insulting them as "gutless pricks". Taft manages to set some charges in a configuration that will result in an implosion in order to prevent an oil spill. Stone confronts Taft, but Taft manages to kill him with his own weapon.
• After a few more mercenaries are killed, Taft and Masu confront the defeated Jennings who immediately derides Masu, saying that he and Taft "bought better hookers for $5 in Bangkok". Taft realizes that no environmental preaching will have any effect on Jennings. So when Jennings tries to calmly walk away and escape, Taft lassos him and leaves him to dangle over a pool of oil. Jennings angrily dares Taft to shoot him, calling him a coward and saying that he has no guts. Taft refuses to "dirty his bullets", but after Masu asks him to dirty one, Taft shoots the rope, causing Jennings to fall into the oil, effectively drowning him in his own wealth as his body disappears in the black liquid. Taft and Masu then flee the area just as the implosion occurs and a series of explosions destroy the rest of Aegis 1.
• The film ends with Forrest delivering a speech at the Alaska State Capitol about the dangers of oil pollution, the companies that are endangering the ecosystem and ways for the people to step up and do what's right. As he is speaking a montage consisting of documentary-like videos plays. Forrest is then blessed by the Tribal leader present in the auditorium. After some of the end credits, Forrest and Masu are seen taking a boat ride through Glacier Bay, where Forrest tells Masu to "look" at a hawk flying towards the tranquil sky, the same hawk seen at the beginning of the film.

• Under Siege 2: Dark Territory (1995) – Seagal returns as Casey Ryback, this time out to foil a mad scientist who tries to hijack a satellite weapon hidden on-board a train.
Casey Ryback (Seagal) has retired from the Navy and is a chef at the Mile High Cafe in Denver, Colorado. Ryback is taking his estranged niece Sarah Ryback (played by a then-unknown Heigl) to Los Angeles to visit the grave of Ryback's brother, who was Sarah's father. They board a train traveling through the Rocky Mountains from Denver to Los Angeles.

As the train proceeds through the Rockies, two people wave it down. The driver and an engineer step out and are killed. A group of mercenaries led by computer genius Travis Dane (Eric Bogosian) and mercenary leader Penn (McGill) hijack the train. Dane is a satellite programming expert who worked on a top secret satellite laser weapon called "Grazer One". Dane was fired and faked his death. They herd the passengers and staff into the last two train cars and cut the train's phone lines. Two of Dane's former Department of Defense colleagues are on board the train, hiding their romantic relationship that goes against DoD regulations. Dane has them brought to him and threatens to have one of his mercenaries insert a burning needle into their eye, causing it to explode, unless they give him the codes needed to take over Grazer One. They give him the codes and Dane has them killed.
Middle Eastern terrorists have offered Dane one billion dollars to destroy the Eastern seaboard by using Grazer One to target a nuclear reactor located under the Pentagon. Dane blows up a Chinese chemical plant in order to demonstrate Grazer One's capabilities to his investors and, after one investor offers an additional 100 million dollars, Dane destroys an airliner carrying the investor's ex-wife.
The US government cannot locate Dane's headquarters and cannot target Grazer One because Dane creates fifty "ghost satellites" to hide the location of the real Grazer One. When officials destroy what they think is Grazer One, it turns out that they destroyed the NSA's best intelligence satellite. As long as the train keeps moving, his location cannot be fixed. Ryback, who has discovered the plot, takes matters into his own hands. Ryback enlists an eager porter named Bobby Zachs (Morris Chestnut) to help him. He also sends a message to the owner of the restaurant he works at and is friends with. Ryback kills the mercenaries one by one, including one of his former men (Peter Greene).
After Penn takes Sarah as bait for Ryback, Ryback confronts Penn, who is aware of Ryback's military past. Ryback ultimately disarms and kills Penn by breaking his neck. He then finds Dane who is about to depart in a chopper hovering over the train. When Dane informs Ryback that there is no way to stop the satellite from destroying Washington, Ryback shoots him, the bullet destroying his computer and injuring and knocking Dane out a window, causing him to fall out of the train and off of a bridge. Control of the satellite is restored at the Pentagon and it is destroyed by remote control one second before it would have fired on the Pentagon.
The train collides with a freight train carrying several gasoline tank cars, resulting in a massive explosion. Ryback escapes from the train by grabbing a rope ladder hanging from the chopper above. The bloodied Dane, who is revealed to have survived, has also caught the ladder and attempts to climb onto the helicopter while screaming for his life. Ryback slides the door shut, severing Dane's fingers and causing him to fall to his death. Ryback informs the Pentagon that the passengers are safe, as he previously detached the passenger section from the rest of the train.
Ryback and Sarah pay their final respects at her father's gravestone.

Executive Decision (1996) – Playing Lieutenant Colonel Austin Travis, head of an elite military team that must stop a plane carrying a nerve-gas bomb. Lieutenant Colonel Austin Travis (Steven Seagal) leads an unsuccessful raid on a Chechen mafia safehouse by a United States Army special forces team to recover a stolen Soviet nerve agent, DZ-5.

Dr. David Grant (Kurt Russell), a consultant for U.S. Army Intelligence, is informed that the world's most feared terrorist, El Sayed Jaffa (Andreas Katsulas), has been taken into custody.
Shortly after, Oceanic Airlines Flight 343, a Boeing 747-200, leaves Athens bound for Washington Dulles. It is hijacked by Jaffa's number two man, Nagi Hassan (David Suchet), and a number of Jaffa's men.
Grant is summoned to the Pentagon to join a team led by Travis which is being readied to intercept the hijacked plane. They listen to Nagi Hassan's demand for the release of Jaffa. Dr. Grant, however, does not believe Hassan wants Jaffa released. He believes that Hassan actually arranged for Jaffa's capture, that the hijacked plane is carrying a bomb loaded with DZ-5, and that Hassan wants to detonate the bomb over U.S. airspace.
A plan is worked out that will involve a mid-air transfer of a commando team onto the hijacked airliner using an experimental "Remora" aircraft. The plan is approved, and Colonel Travis assembles his commando team at Andrews Air Force Base. They board with Dr. Grant and engineer Dennis Cahill (Oliver Platt).
The boarding is only partially successful. When Sergeant "Cappy" Matheny (Joe Morton) is seriously injured, Grant, who was supposed to stay put, boards to help lift him into the plane. The 747 pulls up, though, putting too much stress on the boarding sleeve. Unable to board the plane, Colonel Travis sacrifices himself when he closes the 747's hatch, just as the sleeve breaks and he is thrown from the F-117. The remainder of the commando team make it to the 747's lower deck, but with half their equipment, so military command on the ground does not know whether or not the commandos made it on board.
With limited options, the commandos begin to search for the supposed DZ-5 bomb. Grant manages to make contact with a stewardess, Jean (Halle Berry), despite Hassan's suspicions, and asks her for assistance in finding the bomb's remote detonator.
Officials decide to release Jaffa in order to resolve the situation. Meanwhile, Cappy and Cahill locate and start to dismantle the bomb. They discover that bomb's arming device is barometrically activated. They seemingly disarm the bomb, but it is revealed that there is another trigger.
Jaffa calls Hassan from a private jet, telling him he is free, but Hassan will not be swayed from his plan. Grant realizes that only Hassan knows about the bomb, but none of his men do—which means there is a sleeper on board—one passenger among 400.
Jean spots a man with an electronic device and informs Grant. Meanwhile, the commandos manage to signal to US fighter jets that they are on board and not to shoot them down—using the plane's taillights and Morse code.
Grant and Jean enter the passenger cabin and take the suspect by surprise, but what Jean thought was an electronic device was merely a case of diamonds. Grant spots the real sleeper: Jean-Paul Demou, the man who built the bomb. Hassan attempts to fire at Grant, but is shot from behind by the on-board air marshal. The commandos storm the plane, and a firefight ensues, resulting in a break in the airplane wall, sucking out 3 passengers and Demou; however, all of the terrorists are killed, the bomb is finally disarmed and plane regains its stability.
Hassan kills both pilots, hoping the bomb will detonate if the plane crashes, but he is killed by Captain Rat. Grant is forced to attempt to land the 747, despite his limited piloting experience.

• The Glimmer Man (1996) – Playing a detective who (along with Keenan Ivory Wayans) must find a serial killer.
• Jack Cole (Steven Seagal) was once a government intelligence operative known as "The Glimmer Man," because he could move so quickly and quietly through the jungle that his victims would only see a glimmer before they died.
• Having left the Glimmer Man job behind him, Cole—steeped in mysticism and not used to working with others—has become a detective with the Los Angeles Police Department.
• Cole is partnered with Jim Campbell (Keenen Ivory Wayans), a tough, no-nonsense cop who has little patience for Cole's New Age philosophies and outsider attitude.




• Steven Seagal as Jack Cole and Keenen Ivory Wayans as Jim Campbell
• Cole and Campbell have to set aside their differences when they're assigned to track down a serial killer called "The Family Man," for his habit of killing entire households.
• The Family Man's latest victims turn out to be Cole's former wife Ellen and her current husband Andrew DunLeavy—and Cole's fingerprints are found on Ellen's body.
• Cole and Campbell think that Cole's former bosses in the government may somehow be involved in the killings. Cole contacts his friend Smith (Brian Cox), unaware that he has been working with local crime boss Frank Deverell (Bob Gunton).
• Cole and Campbell receive a tip that leads them to Christopher Maynard (Stephen Tobolowsky), who admits that he committed the Family Man murders that happened before Cole arrived in Los Angeles. Someone else has been committing the more recent murders and making it look like Maynard's work. Cole fatally shoots Maynard in self defense.
• Cole, hoping to get a lead on the new killer, goes to the home of Deverell's Russian translator Celia Roslov (Susan Reno), who was a victim of the killer. The killer attacks Cole, and later sets Campbell's home on fire.
• Cole and Campbell discover that Deverell's stepson Johnny (Johnny Strong) knows some important information. Johnny tells Cole and Campbell that Deverell's right-hand man, Donald Cunningham (John M. Jackson), is the new killer who has been making his killings look like Maynard's work.
• Johnny also tells them that Smith has been working with Deverell. Cole and Campbell confront Smith, who says that Deverell is smuggling chemical weapons into the USA from Russia, with plans to sell the weapons to a group of Serbian terrorists.
• Smith made the contacts, with the deal being cut by a group of Russian terrorists known as the Russian Liberation Fighters. The meeting for the deal is scheduled to take place at a downtown welfare hotel.

• Fire Down Below (1997) – Playing a hard-hitting EPA agent investigating a mine in Kentucky.
• In the peaceful Appalachian hills of eastern Kentucky, toxins are being dumped into abandoned mines, causing environmental havoc, but the locals, mindful of their jobs and the power of the mine owners, can do nothing. Environmental Protection Agency CID agent Jack Taggart (Steven Seagal) is sent to investigate, after a fellow agent is found dead, probably not by accident. The EPA has received an anonymous letter from the town of Jackson, Kentucky, and Taggart goes there undercover to continue his colleague's investigations.

• It is discovered that Hanner Coal Company, owned by Orin Hanner Sr. (Kris Kristoffersson), is being paid to dump toxic waste into an abandoned coal mine shaft, so Jack is assigned to go to the small town of Jackson, where his cover is that of assistant and volunteer carpenter to a local church. He stays in a room in the church's basement, and begins his cover work by repairing the roof at a house where one of the children is sick because of the pollution. He attempts to question the family, but they don't have much to say. He has little better results elsewhere; even the man who tipped off the EPA is decidedly taciturn. While testing the water, Taggart wanders into a local marijuana field, and is accosted by the growers. After disarming them, he tells them that he has no interest in arresting them.
• The men responsible for the other agent's death soon notice Taggart's presence. As a newcomer to the small local community, he is threatened by Hanner's son Orin, Jr. (Brad Hunt), the incompetent local tool of the company, the corrupt local Sheriff (Ed Bruce), and several thugs that work for them. The thugs in question start by leaving two rattlesnakes in his dwelling; Taggart responds by capturing the snakes alive and leaving them in the pickup that the thugs were driving, causing them to crash. Soon after, five of them attack him while he is buying supplies, and receive a severe beating as a result. Orin then orders one of his truck drivers to arrange an "accident" by running him off the road, but Taggart escapes alive while the driver is killed.
• While these conflicts are occurring, Taggart strikes up a relationship with Sarah, a young woman who lives in the town. She is regarded as an outcast because of her father's murder, a crime that she was accused but not convicted of. Eventually, she agrees to testify against Orin and his people, much to the anger of her brother Earl, who actually committed the crime. He sets the church on fire, killing the preacher who was helping Taggart in the process, and then attempts to collapse the mine with Taggart inside it. Taggart escapes, but several miners are killed, including Earl.
• With evidence and a witness, Taggart calls the FBI to take Sarah into protective custody. However, they are revealed to be either corrupt or imposters, and a firefight ensues. Taggart kills one agent, then sends the second back to Orin with a message that he'll be coming for him next. However, when Orin is arrested and charged, he gets off with a slap on the wrist for the environmental violations.
• Taggart goes back into the town and fights his way past the last of Orin Jr's thugs, then demands the truth from him. Orin agrees to turn state's evidence, implicating his father on conspiracy and murder charges. Taggart goes to Las Vegas to arrest Orin Sr. Upon hearing about the reception awaiting him in federal prison, Orin produces a gun and resists, but Taggart shoots him in the shoulder and he is taken into custody. Taggart then returns to Jackson, where he is reunited with Sarah.

• Floyd's militia followers, who have been allowed to go free, attack and capture the hospital, including Wesley and his daughter Holly (Camilla Belle), with much loss of life, and rescue him. But too late, they realise that the vaccine they possess doesn't actually work.

• Working at gunpoint, Wesley takes a sample of Holly's blood; it shows that Holly has been infected, but somehow her body is fighting it off. Wesley and Holly contrive to escape and travel to a farm where Holly's Grandfather lives. Wesley takes a blood sample from his friend Dr Ann White Cloud (Whitney Yellow Robe), and realizes that her body is also fighting off the infection.
• Wesley and Ann gain access to a secret underground laboratory where Wesley used to work, where they hope to come up with a cure.

• Orin Boyd (Steven Seagal) is a cop who works in Detroit's 21st precinct, and his attitude and rough means of enforcing the law always end up annoying the precinct captain, Frank Daniels (Bruce McGill). When a Michigan militant group try to kill the Vice President (Christopher Lawford) of the United States, Orin kills the militants. Even though Orin saved the Vice President's life, Frank doesn't like the way Orin did it, so Frank transfers Orin to the 15th precinct—Detroit's worst precinct.
• Orin's new captain, former internal affairs officer Annette Mulcahy (Jill Hennessy), knows of his reputation, and she tells him that she won't tolerate it. Annette sends Orin to an anger management class where he meets Henry Wayne (Tom Arnold), the high-strung host of a local talk show called "Detroit AM." Despite this measure, Orin doesn't change his ways of doing his job. It's not long before he comes across local drug dealer Latrell Walker (Earl "DMX" Simmons) and his fast-talking sidekick T.K. Johnson (Anthony Anderson) doing a shady deal with a man named Matt Montini (David Vadim). After a brief fight, Orin discovers that Montini has been working undercover trying to nail Walker and Orin messed it up, and that doesn't sit well with Montini's musclebound partner Useldinger (Matthew G. Taylor).

• Not all of the cops of the 15th precinct give Orin a hard time. Sergeant Lewis Strutt (Michael Jai White) steps in to cool things down when Orin gets in a fight with Useldinger, and George Clark (Isaiah Washington) is assigned to be Orin's partner. After Orin stumbles upon the theft of $5,000,000 worth of heroin from Piper Tech, a place where evidence is stored, Orin and George begin focusing their efforts on Latrell and T.K., and also Shaun Rollins (Mel Jason "Drag-On" Smalls), a man that Latrell has been visiting at the local jail. Orin asks Henry to do some digging on Latrell's background. What Henry discovers is that Latrell is not a drug dealer. Latrell is a computer expert and billionaire whose real name is Leon Rollins—he's the brother of Shaun Rollins. Orin confronts Leon, who explains that a group of corrupt cops were in danger of losing one of their drug dealers, so the corrupt cops planted heroin on Shaun, setting Shaun up to take the rap so they wouldn't lose their dealer. Leon shows a videotape that shows that Strutt is the leader of the group of corrupt cops, who also include Montini and Useldinger, and Strutt and his gang are the ones who stole the heroin from Piper Tech. Leon and his friend Trish (Eva Mendes) have been videotaping some of the activities of Strutt's gang, hoping that it might help prove Shaun's innocence and get him out of jail.
• Orin meets with Annette at a parking lot and he gets in Annette's truck and tells Annette what's going on. And then Montini and Useldinger and some other men show up and try to kill Orin and Annette. Annette screeches out of the parking lot with Orin still in her truck. Orin and Annette are chased, and Annette is killed in the chase when her truck slams into the back of a bigger vehicle, sending her into her truck's windshield. Orin calls Frank and tells Frank that Strutt will be having a meeting at a warehouse in about an hour, to sell the heroin that was stolen from Piper Tech. Strutt plans to try to sell it to Leon and T. K., not knowing that Leon is working against him. Frank promises that he'll be there with some backup. Orin goes to George's house and tells George what's going on. George agrees to help Orin.
• It's Midnight at the warehouse, as Strutt is trying to sell the heroin to Leon, Strutt realizes who Leon is and why Leon is working against him. Orin and Frank show up, and Strutt tells Frank to keep Orin under control. Frank aims a gun at Orin. Orin realizes that it's Frank who's behind everything. Frank complains that his $40,000-a-year salary is not enough money for putting his life on the line every day. That's why Frank has been heading the drug running operation, as a way to make a lot of money. Just as Frank is about to shoot Orin, George blows open the door and barges in with backup, including police chief Hinges (Bill Duke). Gunfire erupts, and T. K. gets shot in the leg. Useldinger shoots Orin when he sneaks behind him, and as he's about to shoot him again, George shoots Useldinger dead. Orin is fine because he was wearing a bulletproof vest. Chief Hinges kills Frank by shooting him 4 times with a shotgun, the last bullet hitting his neck and yells out "You're fired". Orin gets into a fight against Strutt, and Leon gets into a fight against Montini. After a swordfight, Strutt grabs a case full of money and runs up to the roof, where a helicopter is waiting for him, and there is a rope ladder hanging from the helicopter. Strutt starts climbing up the ladder, and Orin grabs the ladder too. Montini gets the upper hand in his fight with Leon after he damages Leon's vision with cement powder. However, Leon manages to stab Montini in the leg with a piece of broken glass. As the helicopter ladder is dragging Orin across the roof while Strutt is hanging on to the ladder, Orin snags the ladder on one of the metal pipes that's sticking up out of the roof. This makes the ladder snap off of the helicopter with Strutt still on the ladder. Strutt and the ladder fall to the roof, and Strutt is killed when he lands on a metal pipe that impales from his back and causes the exit wound to come through his chest. Leon beats Montini up, and when Montini tries to push Leon toward a metal spike that's sticking out of the wall, Leon grabs Montini, and forces Montini to the wall. Montini dies when the spike goes through his throat and causes an exit wound through the back of his neck.
• At dawn, Leon gives Hinges a videotape that has a lot of the corruption on it, hoping that the tape will help prove Shaun's innocence. Hinges thinks the courts won't care about the tape, so Hinges had Shaun pulled from county about an hour ago so Shaun will have a better chance of being released. Orin decides to stay with the 15th precinct with George as his partner, and T. K. becomes Henry's co-host.

• At a safe house, Harry leaves Jack locked in a secured room, and sends four men after Jack. Jack kills them, and then he escapes. Outside, Jack forces Harry to get inside of an SUV. Harry explains that it has to do with a biological weapon called MK Ultra. It's a virus that causes the infected person to come down with things like influenza, various forms of cancer, you name it. The infected died in 6 months to a year, and the virus is untraceable. George had the formula -- he lifted it from the Black Ops section. He was planning on selling it to the highest bidder -- the FSB, a new branch of the KGB. And now the FSB thinks George slipped the formula to Jack. Harry tells Jack that the FSB doesn't intend to let Amanda go until they get the formula.

Jack asks Rogers to hack into the MK Ultra project and stop it for good. On the roof of the parking garage, Urich meets with Jensen, the man that Urich and Waters each want to sell the MK Ultra to. Jensen and his man start beating Urich up.
• Anya calls Jensen's cell phone number. As part of a plan to set Jensen up, she tells him that Jack is meeting with Waters and Schmitt in the central library. After they hang up, Jensen's man kills Urich. Just as Jack and Anya are leaving the large house, a man in a helicopter opens fire on them. The man is working for Waters. Jack and Anya run back inside and exit out the side door to Anya's cab. As they leave, the helicopter gives chase, and Jack and Anya hide the car in some woods.

Jack tells her to tell Waters to meet with him at the Central Library. At the library, Jack sees Schmitt and Waters.

Jack kills George by using a martial arts move, a special hit to the chest, that sends George backwards into a wall, and there is blood on the wall as George slumps down. Rogers hacks into the MK Ultra program and puts an end to the project, and Jack is reunited with Amanda. Later, Ambassador Cochran gives Jack a passport to give to Anya so she can go to America.

• The Onion Movie (2008) – Guest stars in a spoof of himself by the makers of The Onion.



• In 2003, New Regency Productions and Fox Searchlight Pictures were on board to produce and release a movie written by The Onion staff.

After delays and previews to test audiences, the film was shelved and eventually dropped by Fox. New Regency Productions continued on with project. Then, the film's fate was in limbo with studio heads at odds with current Onion management as to what to do with the film. Reportedly the studio wanted to keep one hour of already completed footage in the final film and film new material to flesh it out, while current Onion management was rumored to be leaning towards scrapping all shot footage and starting from scratch.
• In a March 15, 2007 interview, Scott Aukerman said that the Onion movie was at a "dead standstill". Within two weeks, the listing for The Untitled Onion Movie at the Internet Movie Database had disappeared.[1] Additionally, Onion, Inc. President at the time, Sean Mills, indicated The Onion was no longer associated with the film project.[2][3] In August 2007, the IMDb listing was restored.
• In November 2007, then-President Sean Mills told Wikinews that the movie was a dead project[4].

Lazereus frames King for the murder of a blonde barmaid, and Miller thinks that King is the murderer and goes after him. Meanwhile, King has tracked down Lazereus, fights him and uses a ball hammer to break every bone in Lazereus's body. He then goes after Billy Joe Hill, kills him after finding Celine dead, then runs away, leaving Anderson a note that explains how he's quitting because no one likes his style of justice.

To make matters worse for the survivors, a massive army base is planning to sterilize the area at dawn.
The survivors explain that there is only one functioning exit from the hospital (even though there seem to be numerous entrances through which they entered) and they have to get to this exit before the emergency power runs out and they are shut inside. To make matters worse many of the stairways and elevators are blocked off, forcing them to make their way level by level, finding a way to the next one down to gain the exit.

It’s early evening and there are no other cars in the lot with the exception of Shane who sits atop the hood of his car taking long pulls from the half empty whisky bottle. That’s when he witnesses a state trooper pulling over a car containing two Chinese nationals. When the Chinese nationals kill the state trooper and try to kill a few witnesses, Shane is forced to intervene. In a brutal fight he kills one of the attackers and sends the other running off into the desert.
When Shane checks on the dead cop he hears noise coming from the trunk of the Chinese national’s car. Inside he finds an unconscious girl and a duffel bag full of cash. Fearing that the cops will implicate him in the death of the trooper and knowing that the Chinese national will return with back-up, Shane takes the girl, the cash and one lone survivor into the nearest small town.
The teen Russian boy he saved is dropped off and Shane takes the now conscious girl to a motel. She begs him not to turn her over to the cops or the Chinese. What Shane learns is she was part of an illegal diamond sale that went wrong. She was taken hostage and her father was supposed to pay a ransom to the Chinese mafia. If the local police or the Chinese get her she will be used as ransom and then probably killed. The girl explains that the town they are in is under the control of the Chinese mafia. That the two man police department is actually run by them. She tells Shane that he can keep the cash if he gets her to safety.

Benz, a spin doctor, tells Machete that McLaughlin, a corrupt senator, is sending hundreds of illegal immigrants out of the country and that he must be killed. He offers him $150,000 to kill McLaughlin. Attempting to assassinate the senator, Machete is double-crossed and is shot in the shoulder. Now on the run and being tracked by Sartana, a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent with a special interest in the blade slinger, Machete goes after Benz and his men with the help of his "holy" brother Padre, a saucy meat cleaver-wielding taco slinger named Luz, and April, a socialite with a penchant for guns.
