Every Steven Seagal shitfest "movie" in a nutshell for levity's sake

Every Steven Seagal movie in a nutshell:

-Seagal is either special forces, government agent, pacifist with a high a kill count, vigilante, law enforcement, Harvard professor, doctor, philanthropist, ex special forces, ex government agent, or ex law enforcement
-Seagal is treated like the second coming of Jesus Christ
-Seagal will mumble his way through scenes or require the use of voice dubbing from other people
-Seagal probably does his scenes in one take
-Body doubles that do everything which includes fighting, walking, and standing
-Loads of plot convenience
-Opening scene that has no connection to rest of the plot and is never mentioned again
-Seagal will be portrayed as the hero but does plenty of illegal stuff
-Seagal will hook up with women significantly younger than him
-Sudden tone shift in Seagal movies
-Seagal’s accent will either be Italian, Russian, Irish, Native American, Asian, Japanese, Black, or Hispanic
-Multiple plot threads that go nowhere and abandoned by the end of the movie
-Seagal will be sitting down for most of his scenes
-In some Seagal movies, Seagal will sometimes appear for 10 to 20 minutes
-Stupid sounding title names that try to sound cool
-Seagal’s self insert oc will have stupid names that try to sound cool
-The aspect ratio in some Seagal movies will be stretched out to make Seagal look slimmer
-Whenever Seagal does a fight scene, he does his patented slap fighting or flails his arms like a weirdo (and will also never take a hit and be sitting down)
-Whenever Seagal uses a gun, he does his patented no look shooting and gun will always have infinite ammo and never jam
-Fight scenes will sometimes be shot with darkness, shaky cam, or jump cuts to hide Seagal’s weight or his stunt doubles
-Every Seagal movie either takes place in Eastern Europe, Southeast Asia, random locations in the USA, or Mexico
-Mandatory strip club scene
-Whenever Seagal has a team, everyone will die, vanish, or do nothing while Seagal does all the work
-Whenever Seagal has a sidekick, his sidekick will someone who is more competent at acting and fighting but will usually die, vanish, or do nothing
-Whenever R Belly has a wife, love interest, or daughter, they usually end up dying or being kidnapped and someone younger takes their place
-Seagal’s crappy movies will sometimes be a sequel to another crappy Seagal movie
-Seagal will wear whatever he wants despite the situation
-Seagal will always walk into the next plot point
-Plots usually resolve themselves in the first 10 or 20 minutes
-Reuse of footage
-Filler that puts most anime to shame
-Movies will abruptly end after hitting 90 minutes
-Terrible special effects and green screen
-Despite being an “action star”, Seagal will never hold a gun correctly and always flinches or blinks when shooting a gun
-One liners and jokes that fall flatter than Seagal’s “acting career”
-Use of random military jargon
-Fully clothed s€x scenes
-Seagal will sometimes have a family, wife, or love interest that appears at the end of the movie
-On the movie’s cover art, Seagal’s head will be photoshopped on someone else’s body
-Whatever government agency that Seagal works for apparently has jurisdiction over the entire world
-Every Steven Seagal movie is a mega blockbuster hit movie
-Seagal is always revealed to be prick to everyone on every film set he waddles on

Anybody who devotes that much time and effort to Seagal movies deserves some serious relaxation.

The only Seagal flick that's worth half a shit is "Under Siege," and that's only because of Tommy Lee Jones' fun portrayal as the psycho ship hijacker.
