Over the top and sometimes just downright ridiculous. Steven Seagal returns as Casey Ryback in Under Siege 2: Dark Territory. Watch Seagal leap from a speeding train, kill bad guys, and save Washington, all without putting a mark on his immaculate black suit. So many plot holes and hilarious B-movie one-liners ("Assumption is the mother of all fuck ups!") make this Seagal flick a must watch. Take this scene for example. As the train crashes head-on into another train(an impressive crash using models), Seagal OUTRUNS the impact as he sprints to the back of the train, jumps and grabs a rope ladder from a helicopter. But our bad guy, Travis Dane, has survived the crash and attempts to climb onto the helicopter. As Dane holds on to the edge of the helicopter, Ryback slides the cabin door shut, severing Dane's fingers and causing him to fall into a massive fireball while yelling "Ryyyyyyybaaaaaaaack!" on the way down.

Under Siege - Eye Gouge, Head Stab
Ah, the 90's....when beepers were cool and Steven Seagal movies were...well NOT direct-to-video. The guy hasn't had a worldwide theatrical release since...*GULP*..Half Past Dead in 2002, although he will have a role in the upcoming film Machete, as a drug lord named Torrez. You might not be able to name any of his newer Straight-to-Video films, but there's a reason we liked Steven Seagal movies so long ago....
Try Under Siege for example. In the finale, Casey Ryback(Steven Seagal) and Bill Strannix(Tommy Lee Jones) go head-to-head in a nicely choreographed knife fight to the death. In the struggle, Ryback snatches Strannix's knife away with his teeth then uses his thumb to push Strannix's eyeball back into his brain. As Strannix moans in pain, Ryback stabs the knife into the top of Strannix's skull up to the handle, killing him instantly. Then just for good measure, Ryback smashes Strannix's head into a computer monitor.....THAT my friends, is a patented Steven Seagal movie kill. You know those scenes where it looks like the bad guy is dead, but then he gets back up for one more shot? You don't see any of those in Seagal flicks.
But what happened to Seagal? What's the difference between old Seagal movies and new Seagal movies? Well, other than about 100 pounds. Two words....EYE GOUGE. Screwface in Marked for Death, Strannix in Under Siege, the guy hasn't had a good eye gouge in almost 20 years. Just Sayin'

On Deadly Ground - Dr. Cox gets Splattered
Dr. Cox tries to pull a fast one on Steven Seagal in this scene from the 1994 film On Deadly Ground. MacGruder(John C. McGinley) tries the old "you can't kill me, you need need me" trick, but Steven Seagal doesn't need anybody, he's Steven fucking Seagal. So he Akidos his face into the tail rotor of helicopter.

Marked for Death - Overkill!
As far as the fight scenes go, Marked for Death is arguably Seagal's best film where Aikido is on display in full view. You'll see Seagal stab, shoot, throw, cut, and even decapitate the bad guys. In this scene, Seagal goes mano-a-mano with one of the Screwface twins. He first pushes his eyeballs back into his brain. Then Seagal snaps Screwface’s spine over his knee and throws him down an elevator shaft. I’m pretty sure he died.
