Okay, so we all know the usual big time action heroes: Schwarzenegger, Willis, Stallone, The Hair, etc. What about the ones that either never achieved that A-List level of stardom, or who faded away to obscurity... or the straight-to-dvd bargain bin. Who is your favorite sub-par action hero? Maybe Van Damme?  Seagal?  Dudikoff?  Norris?  Or is it someone else? |

If Chuck Norris is B list, all that exists is a B list.

Chuck Norris may be able to count to infinity twice, but he hasn't had a film in theaters in almost 20 years...

And, I think I've got to go with Seagal. He's easily the most boring of the well-known B-listers and his horrible... everything is just bad. Go Seagal... for awfulness that needs to be attained. |

I was leaning towards Seagal, cause he almost got to A-List status in the late 80's/early 90's, but couldn't quite make it.

Remember Seagal in Excecutive Decision? The whole cinema burst out laughing and cheering when he got sucked out of the airlock between the jet and the Jumbo jet.  Apparently he has it written in his contracts that his character cannot be killed by another character in a movie. Hence this scene in Machete. How badass is Danny Trejo by the way. It was great to finally see him in a lead role. |

Seagal, to this day, says his character could have survived in Executive Decision. Just think about that for a moment...

Seagal, to this day, says his character could have survived in Executive Decision. Just think about that for a moment... Hahha I did a bit of Googling and found this: "Steven Seagal originally refused to shoot his death scene for fear his fans would not like it. Director Stuart Baird insisted he must do it as scripted, though Seagal held up filming for a few days and suggested that the manner in which it happened wouldn't realistically cause him to die. Finally after threat of contractual breach, Seagal acted the death scene as scripted." And this.... WTF? "In January 2011, near Phoenix, Arizona, Steven Seagal, an animal rights advocate, took part in the police raid of a man suspected of raising roosters used in illegal cock fights. While filming a segment for his reality show, Steven Seagal: Lawman, and clad in battle fatigues and driving in a SWAT tank, Seagal and sheriff deputies raided the home of Jesus Llovera. Setting off explosives to “distract” Llovera, the deputies also smashed a fence and broke out windows in Llovera’s home. During the bust, Llovera’s 11-month-old puppy was killed (perhaps shot) and some 100 roosters were also dispatched without quarter. Did Seagal have anything to do with the carnage? He claimed he didn’t. At any rate, was Seagal a jerk for being there in the first place? Hey, reality shows need, uh, reality!  Nevertheless, Steven Seagal, an animal rights proponent, seemed at least partially responsible for killing one puppy dog and 100 roosters!"  |

Steven Seagal loves animals...  Even if the panda looks like he is trying to escape from him... |
