Under Siege (DVD, 1997)

"Under Siege" is one of the most tolerable Steven Seagal movies, which is saying a lot. He's his usual mumble-mouth, hard-staring self, which is fine. The supporting cast of bad guys is superb, with a great (but underused) Colm Meaney, Gary Busey improving on his "Mr. Joshua" character from "Lethal Weapon", and Tommy Lee Jones uncharacteristically chewing on the scenery in a WAY over-the-top performance (I have no doubt he had a complete blast doing this movie). But there's really only one reason to see this movie, and that's to see Erika Eleniak's breath-takingly perfect breasts as she pops out of thet party cake. They say the camera adds ten pounds - well, in this case, I think it added twenty, all of it on her chest. I remember seeing this movie in a theater when it came out, and when that scene occured, every guy in the place sat straight up and stock-still, watching with reverential silence. At the time, I would have been very happy to have paid full admission price just to see those fifteen seconds of celluloid containing her performance. She should have won the "Best Cinema Boobs in a Mainstream Movie" Oscar that year, even if the rest of her performance kinda sucked.

This action movie is larger than life, with Steven Seagal, Tommy Lee Jones and Gary Busey! The drama begins aboard the USS Missouri where Seagal is 'Just a cook' (he has never been JUST a cook). This film features one of the best performances ever by Tommy Lee Jones, and a truly outrageous character played by Gary Busey....both completely UNFORGETTABLE! True to form, Seagal proves to be the hero, leading a dumbfounded blonde stripper to fruition. You don't want to miss this film, it certainly belongs in your video collection!

Well to whoever reads this review,the first thing to say now that I've watched it is that the U.K region 2 version to this is slightly cut.I'm not refering to deleted scenes or scenes which never actually make it into even the deleted scenes from the full lenth of the film.The plot is good & I've obviously always liked this type of plot,same as the second one but thats on a train.The region 1 version shows uncut footage.I'm refering to that gore/strong violence part where with Jordan,a casualty of the situation,he tries to sneak through a small manufacturing area that the bad guys are using & he gets spotted.They attack him & try to kill him.This part of the film is cut on the region 2 version.But not on region 1.I know its not that much,but its still there.You can tell because Ryback pushes the last bad guy onto the metal cutting saw directly behind him & you'll see the blade tear into his right shoulder.The only other part is shortly after jordan is almost shot & shes yanked back into cover.Ryback martial arts style fights a bad guy.He kills him by ripping or tearing his throat/windpipe out.This few second part of the film is also not there/cut on region 2.Overall,a well plotted,well acted out action film.Knowing about the uncut version on region 1 was the main reason why I decided to buy it.

Ordered for husband...He loves all Steven Segal movies...Thank you for your prompt shipment...We appreciate the opportunity to be able to order this product from you...Shipment in great condition.

Steven Seagal portrays his character so well. His skill in the martial arts are a deadly force.
I also thought Tommy Lee Jones did his character justice. He's a great actor.

cooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo​oooooooooooooooooooooooooooool​llllllllllllllllllllllllllllll​llllllllllllllllllllllllllll!!​!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!​!!!!!!!

Hi we were snowmobiling up in the Co. rockies, (and learned of canyon near Red Cliff) where the train part was shot, so wanted to see the movie, and, where do you find old movies?? (e-bay)

Liked this movie. I have had one for a long time, but this one was bought for some one else so that he would have it in his collection.

I LIKE IT BECAUSE IS ALL ACTION!! , I DECIDE TO BUY IT BECAUSE IS IN DVD, I DON`T WONT IT IN VHS!!!!!!

I really like movies, and this is definately one of them. you really can't go wrong with people getting a boot to the face. Also, the short clip of the boobage is worth making a purchase.

I do not purchase many movies however I do have a few favorites that I would watch more than once. This is one of them. Great action movie. Although many of his movies fall short re story line etc. this one of the exceptions. Outstanding

Steven Segal classic action, who wouldn't want to see Gary Busey in a dress! Tommy Lee Jones excels as having way too much fun as the bad guy until things go wrong! Could have done without the whinny pop out of the cake girl but otherwise fantastic action movie with great crew of actors.
RECOMMEND

I bought this movie because it is a Steven Seagall movie and my brother and I are big fans of his. We love to watch his fight scenes and all the action. This particular movie was for my brother's collection.
