SS is 300+ lbs now. Some of us have had the misfortune of seeing some of his more recent movies were the fight choreography is godawful because he is to slow to do anything anymore. And then we have frightening wardrobe decisions in his recent movies. Where does he buy those jackets?! Seriously, Seagal looks about as credible these days as David Carridine did in those new Kung Fu TV shows, which is to say, totally lame. Fortunately, Tarrantino took pitty on DC and will turn him into a badass in Kill Bill (at least he'll have good lines, something Seagal never had because he writes that crap himself...). And, hey, any movie with Uma Thurman running around with a samurai sword and Lucy Liu playing an assassin has got to be amazing. But I digress....
Lets not forget Seagal got choked out by Gene Lebell when Seagal was still thin and Lebell was like 60-something. I mean Lebell is a badass and all, but if Seagal was so good a 60 year old judoka/wrestler isn't going to be able to choke him out. Right? Notice that Seagal NEVER gets beat up in his movies. Every other action hero gets beat up. Just shows how insecure Seagal is about his own abilities. Also, he's got a high ranking and all, but lets not forget that he sort of slept his way to it, marrying the daughter of a high ranked aikidoka so they'd let his white ass in the door of the dojo. Then he got his belt, had a couple kids, dumped his wife and moved off to California and left her with no child support. I think he's actually cheated on every woman he's ever been with and he was abusive with Kelly LeBrock (at least that's what they said on the E! documentary...). So basically I think Lebell should have choked him out and then cut his nuts off. Who cares if he's a badass if he walks out on his own children?
