Well, Steven Segal is actually a pretty good martial artist. He is a 7th degree black belt in aikido. It's true that he isn't a really good actor though.
Also, his martial arts movies aren't as good as others (like some jackie chan or Jet Lee ones- not talking about their american movies btw) simply because he doesn't draw them out. You get one of the older Jet lee or Chan movies (Legend of Drunken Master for instance) and you can get fight scenes that last 5 or 10 minutes. In reality, no fight would ever last that long since it is pretty easy for a good martial artist to cripple or kill an opponent. Hence Segals fight scenes are actually more realistic. But I don't really watch Kung Fu movies for realistic fight scenes, so yea I don't prefer Segals movies. |

I don't know about the martial arts part, I'm no expert on that. But on EVERY SINGLE Segal movie, ballistics are completely out there. Bad guy shoots assualt rifle, wastes half a clip firing in general direction of good guy. Good guy hit once in shoulder, barely moves. Good guy fires .22 pistol at bad guy. Bad guy hit in chest, flies backward like he was hit by a cargo truck.

Yea, but that happens in lots of action movies. Honestly, there are not that many movies out there with realistic gun fights. Maybe Black Hawk Down, and Heat. But the majority of action movies (whether the star is segal, Bruce Willis, or Arnold) are just way out there.
Note, I'm not arguing in favor of watching Segal movies. They have bad plots and bad acting (kind of like Van damn movies). Just saying bad ballistics is a rather common problem in hollywood |
