Alright so, being a Thai person I could shed some light on some of the stuff that happened in this film. First, the sword guys were doing a kind of sword dance, it’s mostly a spiritual thing, executioners used to do a version of that before they chopped a guys head off back when sword executions were still a thing. The “voodoo merlin” is a Thai sort of dark wizard, they practice the occult arts while monks have the “good” magic that purifies and protects people from harm, these guys cast magic to harm others and stuff. A general rule when it comes to Thai occult is that when your dark magic curse doesn’t land on someone for any reason it will come right back to you with full force which will probably kill you. And the bad English is probably from Seagal hiring cheap Thai actors with terrible English lol. They still somehow manage to sound better than Seagal’s English though xD
Oh thank you so much for the added detail! That is so interesting about failing a curse and it coming back on you. So being a dark magic user is a very dangerous thing to yourself even. Thanks for the clarity :)
I was hoping for someone with Thai culture roots or who studies it to clarify things because this was looking borderline offensive and mixing Asian cultures to make it more cinematic. Edit: I forgot to mention I was also worried about the "dark magician" because in Eastern films they always portrait non-catholic religions with African or Amerindian roots as evil, when this is not true and most rituals are to cast protection, prosperity (think of good crops and harvest) and other good things.
Thanks for that. I'm guessing the Thai government or military cooperated to make this movie and those were actual soldiers that weren't paid. The US military works with Hollywood on some movies as well. Sort of a product placement/propaganda deal. As for the rebound on curses, thank you for that insight. That's a thing in Chinese magic systems as well. I don't know what it's called in Chinese but it can be translated as rebound (my preference) or backlash.
Here's a piece of trivia I've heard that seems to generally hold truth: Steven Seagal has a contract so that movies starring him(in a lead role) need to have titles that carry on a description of him. Example: Steven Seagal is Above the Law Steven Seagal is Attrition Steven Seagal is Out for Blood And this movie would fit that naming convention PERFECTLY(even better than Seagal likely realizes) Steven Seagal is The Belly of the Beast. I know there's at least 1 or two movies that break this rule, but if you look through his leading roles, it holds true like %99 of the tike
I've done this thing of watching a whole actor’s filmography no matter how bad it gets, my wife can’t understand why I would subject myself to watching hilariously bad movies… but you either get it or you don’t. You’re actively making the world a better place.
Terrible acting, awful story, underwhelming stunts, fat Seagal love scene, forgettable characters and an overall insult to the industry. I absolutely loved it!
One of the things I love/think is hilarious about Segal is that when he's doing an action scene, he doesn't have a "badass hero" face on. He just sort of bites his lower lip in concentration, and it just looks kinda dorky and weird. A good example is when he disarms that taxi driver guy.To be absolutely 100% fair to ol' Steven, that IS probably more realistic. You wouldn't really care what your face is doing in a life-or-death situation, you would just be trying to rectify that situation as fast as possible. On the other hand, it does then clash weirdly with his, ahem, "acting" scenes, where he does the squinty low-voice badass thing anyway!
This movie had fight scenes choreographed by the amazing Ching Siu Tung. Known for many hyper kinetic 80s and 90s kung fu movies, jet lis swordsman 2, hero 2002, andy laus house of flying daggers, and the choreographer of the 2008 Bejing Olympic opening.
I am so glad you are enjoying it! It has been quiet the ride on my end too. A handful of these Seagal movies I have never seen. So we get to go on this journey together haha
All you need to make a Seagal movie today. 1. Strip club 2. Strippers 3. Asian monks or martial arts actors 4. $20 or whatever Steve's going rate it Boom, your own classic!
Bro don’t change anything your videos are really good and will blow up mark my words. Your problem is not your content it’s getting them seen as when they are you will see you subs go up rapid. Your Chanel just need to gain traction mate. You only have to read the comments and see how many likes to dislikes you have to see people enjoy you content. In my opinion it’s the best version of this kind of Chanel and when more people get to see it you will see. I think you will have 50,000 subs in years time. Sorry if you receive 2 similar messages from me but I don’t know if other I wrote sent as can not find the thread. Your Chanel is top mate and it will blow up . Keep up good work man and hopefully everyone in comments will like the vids and share your Chanel and I will too as you deserve recognition for the obvious time and effort put into these vids. Excellent work I’ve been binge watching boss.
This is such a great compliment! I really really appreciate the kind words. Honestly I am very lucky to have attracted such a great community of subscribers. Everyone is so nice and friendly and all of us LOVE movies. Which shows in every comment. It would be amazing to see the channel blow up but honestly I am just enjoying the journey. And love the positivity that surrounds every video comment section. Thank you very much for the support and kind words. If there are any movies you would like to see me review in the future, don't hesitate to ask. :)
love your content . . you've got me paying attention to movies (seagal's) that I would never give the time of day. your wit and timing make it worth while
In that scene with the guys hopping around with swords, I think they're meant to be practitioners of Krabi Krabong, a martial art of Thai origin that trains the use of the sword (usually used in pairs) and what is typically called a sword-staff (basically a polearm that is essentially comprised of a large blade on a short shaft, shorter than a standard spear at least) but is most often portrayed in movies and other media as a sword-based art despite the said polearm usage also being part of the style. I don't know if those guys actually were trained in Krabi Krabong, but I assume they are at least emulating it to some degree. In other styles of Thai martial arts (you often see it in Muay Thai) the fighter sometimes picks their font leg up and I assume they could use it to block any potential attacks to that leg (I imagine it could also be used to maintain distance or to keep balance, but I could be wrong given my kicking experience comes from Taekwondo, not Muay Thai) so I think they are imitating that type of motion. To me they look like they might be overcompensating with that one, but again I'm no authority on that front. Sorry my spiel turned into a bit of a ramble, but believe me when I say I took effort to shorten this as much as I could. I also wanted to quickly note that although I don't recall having seen that aforementioned leg movement in the parent art of Muay Thai (called Muay Baorong) I imagine they must've had a similar technique of some kind present in that style as well. Anyway, I figured you might find the context interesting unless you were already fully aware, which I'm guessing you likely are. Anyway, thanks again for the content you create. :D
The director and fight choreographer is the legend himself Ching Siu-tung! He's up with Yuen Woo-Ping,Sammo Hung, Jackie Chan,Lau Kar-leung and Cory Yuen! Great vid and funny as hell. I think Steven co star should had been the main star. Oh well we got a pretty good guilty pleasure Steven seagal movie 😂
I've been binge-watching this channel for a while now. Im surprised you don't have more subs but they will come because the content is quality. Must take a lot of time and effort. Keep it up.
Hello RedEye! Just a quick request - would you consider adding the year these movies were released so we can put them in context? Oh, and I like this intro! Keep doing just what you're doing. I wonder if the apple-eating scene is Seagal's way of saying the characters are gay? These flicks where he's making all the creative decisions are so fascinating and random.
Thank you so much! That is a great suggestion. I can do just that. It wouldn't surprise me. The man just has the strangest mind when he has control over a movie.
Thank you so much! I have been having a blast making these videos. So I am very glad you have found the channel and can appreciate the true genius that is Seagal lol.
I started cracking up when I saw the stunt double not wearing a long hair wig. Funny how Steven Seagal just hates other people's property. LOL @ 6:25 and 12:49 .
Yes our Lord seagal with more dtv schlock! Honestly I remember watching this movie as well and being as dumbfounded as you when the naked lady showed up randomly. I was watching it with my mate and whilst we went "wtf was that about??" haha. Regarding any feedback just carry on as you are at the moment. I gotta admit I'm not a fan of long intros so i think you've done the right thing cutting it down.
Oh and it's a great addition to his list for sure. I'm pretty sure Seagal just writes at least one scene in the movie where he can look at boobs. Regardless of the plot. Thank you friend! I think the shortened intro is better as well. I appreciate the feedback :)
Your voice is just fine lol, I work in radio. I can tell you're putting a lot of effort in to this channel. I've got no doubt you will do well with it.
Thank you so much! I have a feeling as my channel grows I will start to swap to longer videos. Currently I need to weigh it with posting 3 times a week. Because at the moment that is taking a lot of time to do so. But I think I will eventually slow the amount of posts down and increase the video length. Thank you so much for the compliment and feedback. it really means alot
If he had maintained this level of batshit insanity in his films Post Hollywood Stardom, I think he’d be way less of a joke and arguably much more beloved today. Also- if you think she’s clingy, you’ve never been to Thailand and met a local girl who thinks you’re rich.
One of his weirdest movies after his career took a nosedive haha. I love how stupidly overpowered his fighting moves are in this and the Hong Kong movie influence that just doesn't suit Seagal in the slightest (also amusing that he's constantly slating other action movies as "unrealistic". I watched a clip of "Driven to kill" after this video last night and I wonder if this as the last time he tried to run on film? Keep 'em coming I find these videos hilarious. I'd love to see some Van Dammage or Chuck Norris reviews myself (his mullet and double denim in Hard Target are beautiful) but I enjoy your channel regardless cheers.
It's hilarious to me that everyone else is on wires and he just stands in the middle of it all. Haha I'm excited to watch Driven to Kill. We all know he has perfect running form. I will absolutely be doing Van Damme and Chuck Norris. But thank you so much for the kind words and support :)
Well in the end nothing suits Seagal. He's not good at acting but he's too lazy to be good at fighting, be it real fighting or stunt fighting. Jackie Chan isn't the best actor (but so much more charismatic than Seagal, so it's insulting to compare them) but he's one of the hardest working actors combatants out there. The word "lazy" sums up Steven Seagal.
Pistol Wipped and Driven to kill were actually slightly better movies that he was in around 2006-2010 ish but I'm glad to see with his newer output he's gone back to making complete stinkers. He's got much better at fighting while sitting down in recent years though and I've noticed that he's now so powerful that he can fight Mike Tyson even though you can clearly tell that during most of the sequence neither of them are in the same room. I forget the title of that classic but it probably has either the word "hard" "kill" or "justice" in it. I had a dream after watching this that me and Van Damme went to fight Seagal and Vladamir Putin. Sometimes I think about quiting cannabis but with dreams like that how can I? Seagal and Vlad make a beautiful couple especially now Steven taken to wearing an illuminous green blouse
Haha the ancient art of sitting down and barely moving while the people fall around you. That sort of reminds me of those guys that claim they can fight using their energy. Also that dream sounds great. Reminds me of one I had where I worked at a grocery store with Matt Damon and he swooped in on my girlfriend despite numerous warnings for him not too. And I woke up visible upset at Matt Damon for a solid day lol
Get ready for some serious ADR issues in Out of Reach... Am a long-suffering Seagal fan and and would love to be discovering these DTV “masterpieces” for the first time again!
I did have one suggestion. I've noticed that some clips in these reviews often include a frame or two of the next shot in the movie at the end of them which flashes onscreen for a split second. Kind of distracting. 2:39 is a good example of what I mean.
You’re prob not going to see this. But I found your channel a week ago and ever since I been listening to your vids since, every drive I try not to laugh at these Seagal reviews. (Plz do more Seagal reviews LOL)
In all seriousness, I did not think I could enjoy hearing about all of Seagal's straight to video "same thing over and over again" content, but you found a way to make it funny.
Love your channel, you’re hilarious. If all content creators could reduce their intros to 0 seconds that would be amazing, or at most like 1 or 2 seconds (Qxir is a good example)
OOHH THIS MOVIE, I think I've seen this one partly. Oh GAWWD. The secret message part at the 8 minute mark is just straight up Seagal. Invisible ink naked lady telegram service is quite an...idea. How do you even pitch this in a script? I mean like, I know its a Direct to Shlock movie but did they do that to just pad out the time? It could have been a small bit of dialogue but noo she had to get naked and drip water on herself. Someone had to spend time detailing that message too. I think I remember the ending alot more than the middle sections in Seagal movies. The bow and Arrow and 3 bullet shooting section and the weird ass Voodoo Merlin and Buddhist monks helping out is certainly something I remember. His movies are just so entertainingly baffeling although I wonder what the production specifics and trivia are like on this one. Its a shame there's no documentary about how it was like to deal with Steven seagal on a daily basis and what kind odd ass wack shit he might say. The short introduction is nice although you could save the longer one for more longer material videos. Either way the intro and outro are great! Your Karate Kroner videos on Steven Seagal really distill the cream of the cream of his Shlock without having to sit around watching standard broadcast tv that it usually gets shoved onto.
Thanks so much for the view and comment my friend! Dude every single movie he has control over, he finds a way to look at a naked lady. It doesn't matter the plot. But yeah.. suuuuper awkward as always. Agreed. You can cut out like 3/4 of his movies and still totally understand what's going on. Thank you for the feedback. I think the shorter intro works better. But that's a great idea to use the longer one on a longer video. Thank you friend!
I know that I'm late to the party, but the invisible tattoo is probably inspired by the samurai exploitation flick 'Hanzo the Razor' from 1972. The characters of the tattoo raise up from the surrounding skin when exposed to heat or hot water, which is why she 'washed' herself to expose the message. It could be total bullshit, but that's how it worked in 'Hanzo the Razor.'
Having watched your videos in reverse order, newest to oldest, the shortened intro is a nice improvement. Your rate of output is ridiculous in a good way, very impressive. Do you take requests? If so, I think you'd like Murder Party (2007) It's a great B horror/comedy that does a lot with it's tiny budget. Effects are amazing as well. The same guys went on to make Blue Ruin a few years later.
@@RedEyeReviews Oh, they did Green Room as well. I forgot to mention that earlier. Anyway, thanks again for the response. Your playlists are getting me through a lonely Christmas, I appreciate your hard work.
@Matthias Thulman so glad I can provide you some entertainment friend :) movies were always my comfort as well. Make some hot cocoa and watch Die Hard!
You are awesome man,I am just afraid there will not be enough Steven Seagal movies to entertain us for a long time....or are out there more Stevens look a like movies to see?I bet they are so....no worries ;)
Hey brother, Love your channel! My only criticism would be you pronounce escape incorrectly lol. Sounds like you're saying "exscape". Besides that it's great
Would you agree the locations of this movie is beautiful I would love to know The jungle scene you can hear birds and waterfalls where is it located in Who is nude girl in the beginning in movie
Love you videos man, one thing I would say, a great youtuber I watch did a test to see if more people watch videos with arrows in the thumbnail and the ones with arrows got 30% more views. Maybe some more effort in thumbnails will boost some views. Hope I helped bro!
I think in your videos u should mention the directors and other actors. This was directed by famed HK action director Tony Ching Siu Tong, he choreographed Hero, House of Flying Daggers and more classic films. He was once famed director of Old school HK films but his so into using wires.
8:16 "So can we all just agree that that was horrible and awkward and out of place, and just move on together as a group?" You forgot objectifying and degrading to women in general and to Asian women in particular. Moving on now. 12:48 "Dude, even in the widescreen, your face takes up, like, half the frame." - Epic quote by Redeye, circa 2022 Love your videos, by the way. I found your channel just yesterday and I'm now watching your content in no particular order (or in the order you put the videos in your playlists).
I never seen this one or the other two that are up next. I see he's back running with Ryu for this one. So many questions about this movie 🤔 wait if you leave a Seagal movie without questions, you probably should seek professional help 😂 another good video, keep up the good work friend 👍👍
Yeah its.....great? I leave every movie with questions. So I'm not sure what that days about me haha. Thankfully I have a lady in my life that stops me before I start connecting pictures together with red string
@@RedEyeReviews Into the Sun, Code of Honor, Attrition and Pistol Whipped are all watchable. But if you think Ticker was bad, just wait til you get to Attack Force, Flight of Fury, Today You Die and End of a Gun. Belly of the Beast will suddenly morph into a masterpiece.
@@RedEyeReviews the amount of information I know and have effortlessly consumed about Steven Seagal would be embarrassing if not for how much I enjoy it.
i'm pretty sure this is where seagal's whole "chinese kung fu master" attire and vibe thing starts, is with this film, i mean sure, he's done this a little in earlier movies, but i'm fairly certain this is where he beging to cement the look and style of barely touching people but still sending them flying lol this movie's a lot of fun
The shortened open theme is more effective, if you want me to see it. The longer one, I jst skipped, TBH. I can always see yr thumbnail., so, title sequences do no real good for me. Jsyk. Love the reviews, yr, killing it
Love the channel! 2 suggestions. 1: More criticism about the gun handling, etc... Being a firearms instructor and sport shooter, I see a lot of rubbish gun stuff with regard to grip techniques, magazines capacity, terminal ballistics, etc... ! I am available for consultation anytime! 2: More gay stuff!
@@RedEyeReviews Thanks for the content it's hilarious...Bruce Willis is also another one that started pumping out pos after pos. If you did his filmography it'd be great.
@@RedEyeReviews I saw that I didn't recognize him and never heard of that movie ...yea u have plenty to work with him and his later works lol (everything after 6th sense)

Do you think Seagal knows he's viewed as a laughing stock in the film industry or does he just not care?
I honestly don't know. I would have assumed he knows. But he is rather delusional to begin with. He might not honestly.

Because at the moment that is taking a lot of time to do so. But I think I will eventually slow the amount of posts down and increase the video length. Thank you so much for the compliment and feedback. it really means alot
If he had maintained this level of batshit insanity in his films Post Hollywood Stardom, I think he’d be way less of a joke and arguably much more beloved today.
Also- if you think she’s clingy, you’ve never been to Thailand and met a local girl who thinks you’re rich.
Short intros are preferable for a channel like yours ,even a 2 second splash screen is enough
Agreed! I had to really cut it back
I just love the magic duel part.
Can't get enough of these videos
Another great review.
That voice.
"Is this what you want?"
Haha I decided to have fun with the pitch. Who knows maybe I'll go the other way and go full chipmunk voice
From the title, I was thinking people got shrunken down and injected into Seagal's body to unclog his arteries.
When I was with the Raiders in the 70s we had many outlaw characters but we won so many games.
Finally a movie based on sensei Segal's life.
he has another movie based on himself: Sumo Samurai
All of his movies are real stories about himself
One of his weirdest movies after his career took a nosedive haha. I love how stupidly overpowered his fighting moves are in this and the Hong Kong movie influence that just doesn't suit Seagal in the slightest (also amusing that he's constantly slating other action movies as "unrealistic". I watched a clip of "Driven to kill" after this video last night and I wonder if this as the last time he tried to run on film? Keep 'em coming I find these videos hilarious. I'd love to see some Van Dammage or Chuck Norris reviews myself (his mullet and double denim in Hard Target are beautiful) but I enjoy your channel regardless cheers.
It's hilarious to me that everyone else is on wires and he just stands in the middle of it all. Haha I'm excited to watch Driven to Kill. We all know he has perfect running form. I will absolutely be doing Van Damme and Chuck Norris. But thank you so much for the kind words and support :)
Well in the end nothing suits Seagal. He's not good at acting but he's too lazy to be good at fighting, be it real fighting or stunt fighting. Jackie Chan isn't the best actor (but so much more charismatic than Seagal, so it's insulting to compare them) but he's one of the hardest working actors combatants out there. The word "lazy" sums up Steven Seagal.
@@francisnopantses1108 I love Jackie Chan movies. I think his actings good. Some films are let down by dodgy dubbing though
All these it's always sunny clips are making me want to watch the show. Cheers pinkeye 👍
Hahahah Pinkeye. That's amazing
@@RedEyeReviews I beleive that could be sarcasm... 👍great work man
Damn. You are good at this. This channel should be bigger. TH-cam can suck it.
Haha thank you!
Pistol Wipped and Driven to kill were actually slightly better movies that he was in around 2006-2010 ish but I'm glad to see with his newer output he's gone back to making complete stinkers. He's got much better at fighting while sitting down in recent years though and I've noticed that he's now so powerful that he can fight Mike Tyson even though you can clearly tell that during most of the sequence neither of them are in the same room. I forget the title of that classic but it probably has either the word "hard" "kill" or "justice" in it. I had a dream after watching this that me and Van Damme went to fight Seagal and Vladamir Putin. Sometimes I think about quiting cannabis but with dreams like that how can I? Seagal and Vlad make a beautiful couple especially now Steven taken to wearing an illuminous green blouse
Haha the ancient art of sitting down and barely moving while the people fall around you. That sort of reminds me of those guys that claim they can fight using their energy. Also that dream sounds great. Reminds me of one I had where I worked at a grocery store with Matt Damon and he swooped in on my girlfriend despite numerous warnings for him not too. And I woke up visible upset at Matt Damon for a solid day lol
@@RedEyeReviews imagine a Putin cameo in a Seagal film! Riding a horse. Oh my god, my life would be complete.
@@michaelmyers3709 Absolutely! I hope for this cameo every day
I half expected the clingy woman to say "You're my shiny lunch box".
I think your intro is great youre one person that I can listen to
Get ready for some serious ADR issues in Out of Reach... Am a long-suffering Seagal fan and and would love to be discovering these DTV “masterpieces” for the first time again!
Dude I just watched it yesterday and the voice over work is EVERYWHERE. I think there is more of someone elses voice than of his own
Don't sweat it bro, these videos rock!!!
I did have one suggestion. I've noticed that some clips in these reviews often include a frame or two of the next shot in the movie at the end of them which flashes onscreen for a split second. Kind of distracting. 2:39 is a good example of what I mean.
Totally agree with you. I've tried to tighten this up in future videos past this one
You’re prob not going to see this. But I found your channel a week ago and ever since I been listening to your vids since, every drive I try not to laugh at these Seagal reviews. (Plz do more Seagal reviews LOL)
I'm so glad you like these! :)
10:46 Bag'a'Doosh is now playing Path of Exile
Lol he sure does. And he plays it all the time
I love that you were working to determine the right intro length.
Content issue - were you aware the Steven Seagal isn't a good actor?
In all seriousness, I did not think I could enjoy hearing about all of Seagal's straight to video "same thing over and over again" content, but you found a way to make it funny.
Thank you! Hopefully my current intro is working well
Love your channel, you’re hilarious. If all content creators could reduce their intros to 0 seconds that would be amazing, or at most like 1 or 2 seconds (Qxir is a good example)
OOHH THIS MOVIE, I think I've seen this one partly. Oh GAWWD. The secret message part at the 8 minute mark is just straight up Seagal. Invisible ink naked lady telegram service is quite an...idea.
How do you even pitch this in a script? I mean like, I know its a Direct to Shlock movie but did they do that to just pad out the time? It could have been a small bit of dialogue but noo she had to get naked and drip water on herself. Someone had to spend time detailing that message too.
I think I remember the ending alot more than the middle sections in Seagal movies. The bow and Arrow and 3 bullet shooting section and the weird ass Voodoo Merlin and Buddhist monks helping out is certainly something I remember. His movies are just so entertainingly baffeling although I wonder what the production specifics and trivia are like on this one. Its a shame there's no documentary about how it was like to deal with Steven seagal on a daily basis and what kind odd ass wack shit he might say.
The short introduction is nice although you could save the longer one for more longer material videos. Either way the intro and outro are great! Your Karate Kroner videos on Steven Seagal really distill the cream of the cream of his Shlock without having to sit around watching standard broadcast tv that it usually gets shoved onto.
Thanks so much for the view and comment my friend! Dude every single movie he has control over, he finds a way to look at a naked lady. It doesn't matter the plot. But yeah.. suuuuper awkward as always.
Agreed. You can cut out like 3/4 of his movies and still totally understand what's going on.
Thank you for the feedback. I think the shorter intro works better. But that's a great idea to use the longer one on a longer video.
Thank you friend!
I know that I'm late to the party, but the invisible tattoo is probably inspired by the samurai exploitation flick 'Hanzo the Razor' from 1972. The characters of the tattoo raise up from the surrounding skin when exposed to heat or hot water, which is why she 'washed' herself to expose the message. It could be total bullshit, but that's how it worked in 'Hanzo the Razor.'
Having watched your videos in reverse order, newest to oldest, the shortened intro is a nice improvement.
Your rate of output is ridiculous in a good way, very impressive.
Do you take requests?
If so, I think you'd like Murder Party (2007)
It's a great B horror/comedy that does a lot with it's tiny budget. Effects are amazing as well.
The same guys went on to make Blue Ruin a few years later.
Thank you so much! Ooo I'll have to take a look at that movie for sure
@@RedEyeReviews Oh, they did Green Room as well. I forgot to mention that earlier.
Anyway, thanks again for the response. Your playlists are getting me through a lonely Christmas, I appreciate your hard work.
@Matthias Thulman so glad I can provide you some entertainment friend :) movies were always my comfort as well. Make some hot cocoa and watch Die Hard!
@@RedEyeReviews sounds like a plan, my man. Merry Christmas ⛄
@@matthiasthulman4058 Merry Christmas!
You are awesome man,I am just afraid there will not be enough Steven Seagal movies to entertain us for a long time....or are out there more Stevens look a like movies to see?I bet they are so....no worries ;)
Hey brother,
Love your channel! My only criticism would be you pronounce escape incorrectly lol. Sounds like you're saying "exscape".
Besides that it's great
Lol thank you so much. I know I know. I say that word weird lol
Very funny content glad I subscribed
Thanks friend
Maybe you can do some Owen Wilson reviews 😬 love the channel RedEye
The cab driver pulls out a glock, then aims with a 1911
Blatant continuity error.
Would you agree the locations of this movie is beautiful I would love to know
The jungle scene you can hear birds and waterfalls where is it located in
Who is nude girl in the beginning in movie
Love you videos man, one thing I would say, a great youtuber I watch did a test to see if more people watch videos with arrows in the thumbnail and the ones with arrows got 30% more views. Maybe some more effort in thumbnails will boost some views. Hope I helped bro!
Love the channel and you sound very much like Vadim.
Thank you! who is Vadim? lol
@@RedEyeReviews He is creationist cat. Has a very similar sounding voice to you.
Little known fact: everyone in this movie had to learn their lines phonetically…including Steven Segal
Thank you for your service of watching Seagal movies.
I think in your videos u should mention the directors and other actors. This was directed by famed HK action director Tony Ching Siu Tong, he choreographed Hero, House of Flying Daggers and more classic films. He was once famed director of Old school HK films but his so into using wires.
Oh I didn't know that. You're right. I totally should have looked him up
8:16 "So can we all just agree that that was horrible and awkward and out of place, and just move on together as a group?" You forgot objectifying and degrading to women in general and to Asian women in particular. Moving on now.
12:48 "Dude, even in the widescreen, your face takes up, like, half the frame." - Epic quote by Redeye, circa 2022
Love your videos, by the way. I found your channel just yesterday and I'm now watching your content in no particular order (or in the order you put the videos in your playlists).
Oh yeah. It was not a great scene by far.
So glad you like the videos my friend :)
@@RedEyeReviews You're a legend, keep up the great work!
@MOONSUN4Life thanks friend!
There's absolutely nothing wrong with your intro, we enjoy the karatay corner.
I never seen this one or the other two that are up next. I see he's back running with Ryu for this one. So many questions about this movie 🤔 wait if you leave a Seagal movie without questions, you probably should seek professional help 😂 another good video, keep up the good work friend 👍👍
Yeah its.....great? I leave every movie with questions. So I'm not sure what that days about me haha. Thankfully I have a lady in my life that stops me before I start connecting pictures together with red string
@@RedEyeReviews 😂😂
Aw man with a title like that I was kind of hoping for footage of Steven Segal's most recent colonoscopy.
Hahahaha you are a clever one
"His buddy apparently did that thing in movies where they act fine but reveal a mortal wound and fall over dead" 😂🤣
Still the best DTV Seagal movie by far.
So far. I agree. But I'm sure some future movies might stand a chance. But this one was a treat for sure haha
@@RedEyeReviews Into the Sun, Code of Honor, Attrition and Pistol Whipped are all watchable. But if you think Ticker was bad, just wait til you get to Attack Force, Flight of Fury, Today You Die and End of a Gun. Belly of the Beast will suddenly morph into a masterpiece.
@@michaelmyers3709 Oh I can not wait. Yeah there are some scenes in his movies that I think "Wow...that was actually watchable"
This channel is fantastic
Thank you so much!
@@RedEyeReviews the amount of information I know and have effortlessly consumed about Steven Seagal would be embarrassing if not for how much I enjoy it.
@@robocoxo lol I feel the same way. I'm a connoisseur of his now and I didn't mean to be haha.
“Perfectly natural, perfectly normal”
i'm pretty sure this is where seagal's whole "chinese kung fu master" attire and vibe thing starts, is with this film, i mean sure, he's done this a little in earlier movies, but i'm fairly certain this is where he beging to cement the look and style of barely touching people but still sending them flying lol this movie's a lot of fun
Ah balls I loved your intro but totally understandable. I have nothing negative to say fucking love your content just want more of it
The shortened open theme is more effective, if you want me to see it. The longer one, I jst skipped, TBH.
I can always see yr thumbnail., so, title sequences do no real good for me. Jsyk.
Love the reviews, yr, killing it
I wouldn’t ask the internet for feedback LOL. That’s like covering your body with sugar and lying down next to a fire ant mound
Lol very true
Looks like Seagal and Gene Simmons go to the same Saturday’s to get their hair done.
Truthfulness in voice is genuine. keep up passion.
Sorry you had to see the things you have seen for others entertainment. I hope karma is true.
Aww thank you so much!
Haha it's all worth it to bring joy!
Longer videos would be my suggestion! Thanks! 🙂
Love the channel!
2 suggestions.
1: More criticism about the gun handling, etc... Being a firearms instructor and sport shooter, I see a lot of rubbish gun stuff with regard to grip techniques, magazines capacity, terminal ballistics, etc... !
I am available for consultation anytime!
2: More gay stuff!
This channel is great bro, I have no criticism...
Thank you friend :)
@@RedEyeReviews Thanks for the content it's hilarious...Bruce Willis is also another one that started pumping out pos after pos. If you did his filmography it'd be great.
@@paulpheifer3002 you are a mind reader. My video I released today is a Bruce Willis
@@RedEyeReviews I saw that I didn't recognize him and never heard of that movie ...yea u have plenty to work with him and his later works lol (everything after 6th sense)
That is totally the best messenger service ever... I would pay more attention to that phone of mine....lol
The steam notification at 10:46
Lol shit
11:57 You'll believe a man can EAT.
I was hoping maybe you could get a James Earl Jones "Darth Vader " voice going on.
Look at that group of extras you must have paid them atleast 10 bucks each lmao you're a fucking boss my man. :D
12:45 because of course their is
"Belly of the beast", wasn't that the name of the Golden Corral lawsuit against Seagal? 😅
@sgtpepr6260 you kill me lol. That might be the best one I've heard in awhile
Late to the question train. You do an awesome job. Your subscriber count is a joke. Keep pushing.
Thank you so much! One day we will climb that ladder, but I am enjoying the ride
Nothing in this clipshow-version feels afamilar, but I definitely know I've seen this because of the evil magic monk stuff.
Wow this one at least actually looks like it had a budget
Also you should review expendables 2 because it's so much fun
10:45 steam notification?
Hahaha oh NO I missed that
Did that guy hold up a hammer?🤣🤣
