I love a bit of Seagal. He has no sense of humour whatsoever which I think makes him hilarious.

Steven Seagal needs to make a movie in which he's investigating a little town where people are freezing to death after a jacket shortage, water is contaminated with urine, all the beehives went missing, and the church burned down, only to find that the villain behind all this is that action movie star shooting his new film and ruining the locals' lives in the process.

That Roseanne episode took jump the shark to a whole new level. To the point that it needs its own phrase like "jumped the track". It had already taken a left turn with the family winning the lottery, but that terrorists on the train plot was the last nail in the show's coffin.

Fun fact: Levon Helm also played the gunsmith that Mark Wahlberg visits in Shooter.

Honey is expensive. I'm surprised she dropped that. The pinchy guy is Kris Kristofferson. I mean I'm glad you acknowledged Levon Helm, and as legendary as he is as a musician I'd have to say blow for blow, Kristofferson is a couple tiers above him. Should be alluded to at least.

Bro, that's Kris Kristofferson. the networks used to play his movies all the time in the 80's. I remember seeing a lot of his movies but the only one i can see him in my minds eye is where plays a trucker. lol

4:33 For some reason I was absolutely not prepared for this. I couldn't stop laughing.

I will admit, this film is a guilty pleasure for me. If you've never been to Appalachia do yourself a favor and go visit. It's breathtakingly beautiful.

This was the movie that introduced me to Seagal. My dad and I watched it together like 5 times when I was young. You know... Back before I found Wikipedia and learned just a sliver of the insanity that was Seagal as a human being.

I can't believe I never commented on this review video. Fire Down Below is my favorite Seagal film. In my opinion Seagal actually slimmed down here as compared to *The Glimmer Man*. This was a project with a decent plot and an incredible cast. This was my Father's favorite Seagal film as well.

Watching all of your reviews of Steven Seagal movies makes me wish he never stops making them. Even if Seagal ends up fighting from a wheelchair, I know you'll still make me laugh with every RedEye Review.

"Now here's Steven if he looked like you."

after this movie the bad guy went off to hunt vampires with Wesley Snipes

Steve is one smart hero. What would the world do without him.

Great review. For me, the highlight of this movie was when the old guy playing the guitar passed out and Steven Seagal took over. The old guy went down with a classical nylon string, but Belly Jack came out of the edit with a steel string acoustic. Continuity! Oh, and subscribed.

I love Furr’ Down Below and actually stole a phrase from here when referencing to how smart I am to someone, stating “I’m slicker than possum shit” when I’m being arrogant…you know what…I’m gonna watch this movie again right now🤣🙌🏾

I'm a HUGE fan of Kris Kristofferson, but now I can't unsee that image of his face. 🤣

BombReport has some important details on Seagal in their entry about this movie. To condense their info a little:

After Under Siege, Seagal was at his peak and WB arranged for a 4-picture deal with him. The deal would be that he toplined 3 pictures for WB, then he could make 1 'out' picture for another studio, and then one more for WB, which would have been 5 pictures total. The first picture on the deal was On Deadly Ground and WB immediately regretted their purchase. They still had to finish the deal, so they did the film they had the most hopes for, Under Siege 2: What the hell is Dark Territory? and then The Glimmer Man.

Next Seagal was working on the 'out' picture for Sony, Fire Down Below, with the every lovable Jon Peters. Peters left his producing deal and Sony and went back to WB taking his projects with him, including Fire Down Below. WB used this as the 4th movie in their deal.

The article doesn't say if something else became the "out" picture but it doesn't completely clarify that. Executive Decision was a WB film as well, but it seems to be extra credit either way. Still, there are a lot of rumors around Executive Decision. I don't think most are true. I'm sure Seagal was a complete gentleman on the set.

After FDB, WB was done with the "Cantankerous Butterball". Seagal was done with studio film until popping up with Exit Wounds (before dropping down again).

I was 15. I'd spent a week on work experience in the army. I came home to this, my mum had rented it on VHS. She said it wasn't as good as Under Siege.

The jacket counting had me dying, lol.
