    Fun Fact: Producer and director Steven Seagal filmed almost 40 minutes of footage for the environmental message at the end of this movie, and planned to use it all in the final cut. After pressure from Warner Brothers and a disastrous preview screening, where audience members booed, laughed, and made obscene gestures for the entire sequence, Seagal cut the final scene down to about seven minutes.

    Roger Ebert, for his part, stated the movie was "limited to two basic qualities: it's violent and it's sanctimonious", and opined that while "it doesn't pay to devote close attention to the plot", "if you like to see lots of stuff blowed up real good, then this'll be a movie for you." His opinion on the ending speech was that it was "absurd", stating, "at the end after Seagal kills about 30 people and blowing up the largest oil refinery in the world, what happens? He's invited to the Alaska State Legislature to give a talk about ecology. I'm not sure, but blowing up oil refineries does not make you that popular in Alaska."

    Maybe he didn’t find Seagal movies that nostalgic. Everyone grew up with different movies. I grew up with a lot of classic britcoms, but I doubt any of them end up on here. Granted, all of them were great, and it’s hard to poke fun at them. Even the ones from the 70s hold up and are hard to mock, despite the change in styles. But again, if you didn’t grow up with them, they’re not nostalgic for you. Doug has actually done videos on stuff he won’t review for that reason.

    Let me mention something I think got skipped over: The floppy disk that had all the dirt on the company in which the old man died for was hidden. When Segal goes to find it at the house, is it in a wall? Is it under a floorboard? After all, Caine's minions destroyed cabinets and even pulled out the dishwasher and couldn't find it. It's in A BACKPACK IN A CLOSET. I was so mad when I saw that. I get these minions are semi-incompetent so we can get R. Lee Ermey and his mercs in there, but to not check a frickin backpack in a closet!?

    Steven Seagal is such a bizarre action star. The more you learn about him, the more you wonder how he ever became such a success for as long as he was. All the best action stars, the ones who lasted for decades, like Schwarzenegger, Stallone, and Van Damme, were self-aware. They took themselves seriously but also knew when to make fun of themselves, especially when they got older. Seagal honestly feels like he's supposed to be a parody of all the classic Hollywood action stars, like Austin Powers to James Bond, except he's not joking. His egotistical self-seriousness combined with his lack of talent in acting, martial arts, directing, writing, etc., as well as being such a jerk professionally are all reasons he petered out so fast. I guess I can't complain though, since he made himself such an easy target to poke fun at. He made some movies of decent quality like Under Siege, but he made a lot more movies that were hilariously bad like On Deadly Ground, and I'm thankful for that. Hope to see you review more Seagal movies in the near future, Doug. Happy New Years!

    People's understanding of martial arts was different back then. Back in those days people believed you make someone's heart explode if you just him them the right way. Segal had significant martial arts accolades and an impressive, though highly embellished backstory to convince the public he was a true badass. Years later the rise of UFC and mixed martial arts would expose many martial arts (like aikido) as being useless in actual fighting.

    Budget, $50 million. Box office, $38.5 million. This Vanity Project was the first and last film directed by Steven Seagal (barring some alleged uncredited work on a few DTV films). This film was part of a series of blows that, along with The Patriot and Fire Down Below, knocked out Seagal's action star career in Hollywood, soon relegating him to the direct-to-DVD shelves.

    The difference is that Nic Cage actually was a major movie star in hollywood. He is an actor and starred in good movies. Szeve Seagal is just a lazy bum with at best 2 good/acceptable movies and a giant pile of utter trash "direct to dvd" sticking to his name. That guy uses doubles whenever there are stairs to climb and since his body doesn't fit mirrors he didn't even notice they got half the weight he does.

    Another Fun Fact: Action scenes were both added and deleted for this film. Originally, the pole fight in the finale of the film was not intended. Warner Brothers pressured Seagal to add more fight scenes to make the film more like the traditional Seagal films. A fight scene in the cave during the dream sequence was cut, a publicity photo of this exists. Numerous magazines from the time period report that even though Seagal's black belt students were on set, they were seldom used until more sequences were added.

    Another Fun Fact: When Danish stuntman and actor Sven-Ole Thorsen met producer and director Steven Seagal on the set, Seagal asked Thorsen to kick him, to show what Thorsen was capable of. Thorsen hesitantly kicked Seagal, who caught his leg and threw him to the ground. Seagal asked Thorsen to kick him again, giving it his best shot. Thorsen kicked Seagal as fast and hard as he could, and Seagal fell to the ground. When shooting a scene together a day or two later, Seagal hit Thorsen in the throat, leaving Thorsen unconscious for three or four seconds. It looked so realistic that Seagal decided that Thorsen's character, Otto, had died, and his remaining scenes were cut from this movie.
