Let me point you in the direction of some of the later works of Steven Seagal

I don't know. I saw the first 10 minutes of The Patriot on TV and I found it embarassing how they tried to hide his double chin with all kinds of shawls & bandanas. Will look into it again.

Double Team, with Van Damme and Dennis Rodman. Kicking ass in Utrecht and Rome. Villian is Mickey Rourke who managed to put lions on chains in the Colosseum. After they kicked Mickey Rourke's ass the Colosseum blew up from a bomb. Pretty good.

Yous need see it along with the one where the high school teacher in Miami who knows Capuwaya kicks the shit out of a drug dealer who wants to corrupt the youts but who is equally adept at fucking people up.

Brian Bosworth's first film, Stone Cold, is wicked ("Joe Huff is a tough, go-it-alone cop with a flair for infiltrating dangerous biker gangs"). It has Lance Hendrikson in a supporting role and I seem to recall there's a great fight in a supermarket. Lance is also in the brilliantly-titled "Excessive Force" with Thomas Ian Griffith (sequel is "Excessive Force II: Force on Force"!)

Double Team is great but Van Damme's Knock Off is even better. Bombs! Hidden in pairs of jeans! And Rob Schneider!

thirteen years pass...

From Last (x) movies you saw

Bought a DVD that contains both of John Hyams' Universal Soldier sequels, Regeneration and Day of Reckoning. Regeneration is extremely dark, but really well directed. The action is crisp and clear, with no shaky-cam bullshit. The fight scenes are really well staged, with some amazing stunts very obviously done by the performers themselves (the primary villain is an MMA fighter turned "actor", Andrei Arlovski). Jean-Claude Van Damme looks really broken down in this, which gives his fights even more impact. I'm definitely looking forward to watching Day of Reckoning.

I guess white cops executing black perps with impunity and people getting burned alive onscreen were slightly less offensive in 2010, before BLM & ISIS.
