>Let me tell you something that might be a bit dangerous. I was raised in Japan. I was schooled in martial arts. I was given the title of master. They take a movie “The Last Samurai.” They have a 5-foot-2-inch little guy, whether he was straight or gay, I don’t know. I don’t care. He had never been to Japan. He doesn’t speak Japanese. He has never held a sword. They make him the Last Samurai. We got 450,000 phone calls from everybody in the world saying, “That role was perfect for you. How did that happen?” Most of the people I know didn’t like the film and didn’t go see it. It’s just a classic example of Hollywood and the politics.
Let me tell you something that might be a bit dangerous. I was raised in Japan. I was schooled in martial arts...

I'll never take him seriously, but this line right here is why I could never bring myself to hate him either. Pure gold.

>In an interview with Howard Gorman (via Bloody Disgusting) for Predator 2's 30th Anniversary, director Stephen Hopkins talked about almost casting Seagal in the sequel. Apparently, Seagal really wanted the role and invited Hopkins over to his house to talk about the movie. Hopkins explained that it was one of the strangest experiences of his life, with Seagal showing off his gun collection and offering to launch grenades with the director.
>“I had to go and have a meeting at his house. Which was one of the craziest afternoons I’ve had. […] … it was a bizarre… he’s a very unusual, slightly twisted kind of guy. In the end, I couldn’t see myself doing it with him. He was desperate to do it. I went into his house and he took me into a room where all the walls were covered with guns. He told me he wanted to play a CIA-psychiatrist who was also a martial arts expert who carried a gun. He was clearly a little crazy at the time. And I was like this is different than the way we’re going so I guess we shouldn’t do it.
>“He said, ‘You know, I want you to come to my house in Santa Barbara.’ He said, ‘I’ve got a grenade launching range there, we can launch grenades together’. I said, ‘Yeah… great, we’ll do that’... Sorry, I’m not a fan of his.”

Unrelated but I rewatched that movie recently and holy shit. Maybe my favorite CruiseKino.

This podcast I listen to is wrapping up a 3 part biography series they’ve been doing on him, and it’s absolutely amazing how completely full of shit he is all the time about seemingly everything. Like pathological levels of lying. And about really obvious stuff that’s easy to check too.

I'm sorry what now?
Camden Hill
Lol yes most of them are just boring facts, and only ones that might actually be impressive on some level like him taking on the yakuza or being a cia asset are blatant lies. He’s not actually a Buddhist deity at all, he’s the equivalent to one of their archbishops essentially, and it’s a position he bought because at one point he had a lot of money. He never fought the Japanese mafia, according to his first wife and mother-in-law who he abandoned in Japan, he was working at his father-in-law’s dojo and ONCE- literally one time only- he heard there were some drunks behind the building, so he went out and shoo-ed them away and ever since then for the rest of his life he’s been going around telling everybody they were yakuza.
Levi Cruz
did his roles back when he was an A-list actor somehow got into his head and he believes he's an actual badass IRL?

Obviously even if he was do you think CIA would just confirm that?
Carter Martinez
It seems like they originated from him telling lies to try and get his foot in the door acting, but at this point he’s told so many lies so many times and they’ve only gotten bigger and more ridiculous over the years, it’s hard to tell if he actually remembers the truth about his life anymore. When he tells people he’s a former Navy Seal, he may actually believe he’s telling the truth
Jayden Murphy
that guy sounds like a fag, who doesn't want to shoot grenades with steven?
Kevin Ward
He was born in 1952 so he was quite an achiever in his teens.

I don't think he's lying. I think he is just delusional and genuinely believes what he's saying.
Also checked.

That village scene where he just learns to live peacefully in the village and everyone is going about their daily rituals, The most hard ass guy in the village making tea as a hobby. That was always such a kino scene for me because I always wished for a peaceful focused life like that.

Watch his interview with Scott Adkins, Seagal Sensei is actually pretty chill
Isaiah Clark
Lol no but everyone who actually WAS there agrees they were just some local drunks and it was a one time incident. He swears it was the Yakuza, and that he had an ongoing back and forth with them, which there’s 0 evidence to support.
No, but it is funny because he has a history of trying to hire ex CIA guys to work with him, and when asked about him they all give the same kind of reports that he’s essentially completely full of shit. He doesn’t know basic stuff like how to read a compass for example, or how to swim. He claims to be a former Navy Seal, but he gets profoundly sea sick very easily. Like no the CIA has never said conclusively he’s not a former agent, but they don’t really have to

He's so delusional that none would believe him he's an asset even if he told the whole world. What a perfect asset he would make.
Aiden Torres
When Seagal is explicitly focused on discussing martial arts, he unironically is pretty interesting since he does have some insights from being trained by one of the Ueshibas, who have actual martial arts pedigree.
Christian Foster
>whether he was straight or gay, I don’t know. I don’t care

This. He's a legit Aikido master with a real pedigree. Yes Aikido isn't some super effective MMA fighting art, but he above still stands.

The best part of Executive Decision isn't the irony of the movie title it's fact that this retarded faggot is the head guy but 20 minutes in he get ejected from the hi-jacl scenario.
Evan Gray
kek. because he's calling Tom Cruise a faggot and getting away with it, you nerd.
Josiah Ortiz
>What a perfect asset he would make.
If the only thing being an asset entailed was just having everyone think you were a liar, yeah sure, he’d be the best at it. But he can’t actually do any of the physical stuff he claims he can- and not just now because he’s old- he never could. He literally just bought his black belt from an unscrupulous man in Japan that ran a dojo. He got his first acting job by hiring stunt guys to pretend to lose to him dramatically in a sparring match in front of some movie executives who had been told they’d be fighting for real. Lol everything about him is just lies on top of lies that are built on more lies.

Except he didn’t really train under anyone that respected- he married his ex wife because her father owned a dojo, but he didn’t train under him, he ended up just flat out purchasing his black belt from another guy who didn’t really care and had loose morals
Chase Foster
this non-actor has no right to call anyone anything
Adrian Wood
>Except he didn’t really train under anyone that respected
Please stop making me defend Seagal, it causes me pain.
The old Asian man in the pic I initially posted, and pic related, is one of Seagal's primary instructors and trainers Kisshomaru Ueshiba, son of Morihei Ueshiba. His other instructors included Koichi Tohei and Osawa Kisaburo.

Brian Bishop was on Andy Stumpfs podcast, and he relayed a story--he was hired as the military advisor for one of Segals films. Some takeways:
>They would rehearse military movements for hours, then when filming started, Segal would just do his own thing ignoring all the prior rehearsals
>Segal invited Bishop to watch Platoon with him and mentioned "That's how it was when I was there (attached to the SEALS).

Absolutely not. He MEETS the last samurai, the commander Katsumoto, who teaches him the principles of bushido and japanese swordfight. Why no one ever understand this?

Not technically. His mother is of Irish descent and his father is a Russian Jew, but since Jewishism is matrilineal, he doesn't quite qualify (according to Jewish law)
