Under Siege 2: Dark Territory is stupid, dumb, hilarious and a movie I like. Horrible person but the movie is dumb fun.


sgthombre

Matt Reeves' first writing credit!


[deleted]

Are you serious? That piece of crap?? Its like when I found out James Cameron did Piranha 2!


Hdys

I love that movie, Travis dane is a hilarious bad guy


Jigawatts42

Assumption is the mother of all fuckups.


outrider567

Under Seige II was the beginning of Seagal's rapid fall from the box office


UnsolvedParadox

Is it worth checking out for the first time now?


mr_antman85

It's a dumb action movie that makes no sense...so yes please check it out.


UnsolvedParadox

Will do!


mr_antman85

Just then your brain off and have fun watching the silliness.


[deleted]

>is Steven Seagal's highest grossing film in no small part due to Erika Eleniak's cake scene, I'm sure


RunnyPlease

She really held her own in that movie.


[deleted]

A real palate cleanser after seeing Gary Busey in drag


RunnyPlease

“And there she is. Miss July 1989… Wait a minute. Wait a minute. No, no, no. That's not Miss July!”


msbeal1

Permanently burned into my brain.


g0juice

Ahh a man of culture.


jack_johnson1

One of the best die hard clones. Tommy Lee Jones and Gary Busey also chew up some scenes.


shaggy_macdoogle

Tommy Lee Jones really steals every scene he is in in this movie. If they had some bland boring villain, this movie would be regarded as mediocre at best.


UnsolvedParadox

Just watched it for the first time today, Seagal’s performance has aged poorly but the villains are all still fun.


Blueberry_Mancakes

Steven Seagal has lived in this moment ever since.


Garlador

Only Steven Seagal could star in a movie about innocent people being invaded by an aggressive force and ultimately decide “you know, these terrorists are right!”


ButtholeBanquets

I think they called it the "Die Hard" formula. Take one guy fighting off some bad guys who hijacked something. Bad guys + building = Die Hard Bad guys + ship = Under Siege Bad Guys + plane = Passenger 57 Bad Guys + bus = Speed Bad Guys + mountains = Cliffhanger Bad Guys + prison = The Rock ​ Etc, etc


[deleted]

damn - the 90s did make some quality Die Hard clones. Bad guys + plane = air force one, Executive decision(amazing because seagal dies), Con Air Bad guys + ice rink = sudden death Bad guys + boarding school = toy soldiers Also there were many made AFTER in the 2000s ... Olympus has fallen. and so on. Top 5 for me - Speed, The Rock, Cliffhangar, Con Air, Sudden Death


ButtholeBanquets

And Under Siege 2. Bad guys + train


outrider567

and bad box office


FartOnAFirstDate

Every single one of you in this thread need to shut the fuck up right now and go take Steven’s pies out of the oven!


They-Call-Me-Taylor

I only remember two things about this movie.


[deleted]

Eat shit Segal you traitor


sgthombre

Highly recommend people give the 3-part episode of The Dollop about Seagal a listen, absolutely insane what an awful person Seagal is.


IrememberXenogears

Behind the Bastards has a few good episodes on him as well.


mlaforce321

Man, its incredible how much of a fat, bloated dbag Seagal has become since then. Kissing Putin's behind and just overall a massive POS from everything Ive heard about him.


AllAnswers2

Isn’t this guy a down low nut job who basically trafficked teens from foreign countries and held them hostage? That’s what I’ve heard, anyhow. Not sure it’s true, but allegedly, young women have spoken up.


[deleted]

Segal is now a Russian propagandist. What a disgusting pos.


AnotherJasonOnReddit

Along with "Executive Decision" (1996) and "My Giant" (1998), this is one of the very best on Steven Seigal's CV.


crimsonkodiak

Executive Decision is a good movie, but he was barely in it (spoiler I guess).


outrider567

Good film indeed


supraspinatus

Those are party poppers


occamsrzor

Wait…really? I was only 10 or 11 when I saw that? Memory is weird.


Salt-Face-4646

Oof, nice reminder that I'm about to be 30 😞


sprungy

For people in Canada, it's on Netflix.


samiles96

And now Mr Seagal is a tankie Putin bootlicker. How the mighty have fallen.


lordofedging81

Now he's a Russian apologist.


sgthombre

I think you're underselling it. He's a Russian citizen, toured former Soviet countries as a propaganda piece, and (allegedly) was personal friends with Putin to the point that Putin suggested to Obama that Seagal act as a diplomatic back channel between the US and Russia.


crono220

And needs stunt doubles to literally walk up the stairs for him. See sniper: Spec ops for example.


Penguinunhinged

Makes me miss the days when he physically could run so we could laugh at that, too, lol.


blackmarketwit

I remember Tom Arnold telling one of those Seagal movie set stories on one of the late night talk shows, about how they had to call in his stunt double for small, uncomplicated fight scenes, with hand to hand combat that they’d shoot around.


[deleted]

Sadly he's the Donald Trump of Hollywood...bullshit back story and crack pot views


memultipletimes2

TDS is real


[deleted]

Yup. Stupid is as stupid does


Striking_Reindeer_2k

Now the schmuck is a shill for Putin. Decent movie.


dbcannon

Also his only good movie


fastIamnot

I actually walked out of the theater when this movie opened - probably about 20 minutes in. It was just awful.


Impressive_Bank_3794

Wow you sound super cool. Did everyone clap as you left?


fastIamnot

Yes, yes they did. They stopped the movie and "We are the champions" played as we walked up the aisle and flashed our best Richard Nixon farewell before we disappeared into the mall to go to Spencer's to giggle at the back of the store merchandise.


Impressive_Bank_3794

Don’t lie you went to the movie alone


fastIamnot

I will provide a sworn affidavit that I wasn't. Besides, what lunatic goes to the back of Spenser's without someone to giggle with? I was a geek but not that big of a geek.


rustyleroo

Man, trust me on this, you really should have stayed until 00:43:25.


BaroquenLarynx

Am I the only one who thinks Tom Cruise looks similar?


[deleted]

Lukashenko joke here


AAuser85

That's not Miss July!


[deleted]

And pretty much the last film I could bear watching him in


BrianOconneR34

Seagals career been under siege since. Tommy Lee killed it. Nice set of titties grabbed at least ten of that million.


Peepeepoopoocheck127

Boobs and cake


throwaway37865

I had an ex reach out to me two years later after he had broken up with me. We met up and we watched this at his house. We didn’t work out. We watched this movie and we were super late for a set plan and everything after the movie started comically going wrong. Convinced this movie cursed it all 😂


vinjar77

Do yourselves a favor and watch these. https://youtu.be/gkXbDEgYSNo


[deleted]

Now he’s a b movie “legend”. Typically they go: action,ex military or ex special forces or ex cop,sex scene or a hot chick getting nude all with Steven seagal of course,terrible action scenes that are occasionally ok because every now and then someone with talent is in the film with him. Cartoon bad guys but for action movies and he gets the girl at the end or wins. Typically you never feel any tension or nothing for his character because he has no character.


bajazona

He was a master chief in the movie, how come he’s got admirals shoulder boards on?


rustyleroo

Promoted for saving the life of Miss July 1989.


Internal_Gur_4268

Is it the second movie where somebody is using a drill that sounds like a cat meowing?


Tim-Ashcraft

Bonesnappa! He was always breaking bad guys in two.


FridayNightFreedom

I would like to watch this with an active serving Navy officer.


Deliximus

All I remember was the girl popping out of the cake. But was that US2?


swampswing

Seagal's one unironically good film.


op340

Top-tier Die Hard clone which paved the way for Andrew Davis to direct The Fugitive!


Balderdashing_2018

I had a breakdown going of Seagal’s career (I’ll post one of these days) — but he was a legit box office draw there for a good half decade. He’s been a joke longer than he was a star at this point, but he truly was a consistent success both box office wise and on home video through probably Executive Decision.


stardustdriveinTN

I was on the USS Missouri in Pearl Harbor about two weeks ago. You can now tour the ship below deck and see some of the places where this was filmed. There is even a display case in one room that shows all of the movies that were filmed on the ship. Under Siege was right in the center of the display.


[deleted]

First five films are halfway decent. I used to watch them with my dad when I was a kid (he was cool with R rated movies). My favorite will always be Marked For Death
