Above the Law (1988)
Here it is kidz, the one that started it all. ABOVE THE LAW - the big screen debut of America’s sweetheart, Steven Seagal. It’s thrilling to see the early versions of what would one day be his signature bizarre onscreen persona, rivaled only by his horrific offscreen persona. Did Mike Ovitz do the right thing when he unleashed this incredible phony on us? Watch this weeks movie and let us know.
Also - Gabrus thinks he looks good sprinting. Thoughts?

The Snarf discourse killed me
Love this movie. Is it good-bad or just a good movie? Probably the first one
Hell yeah
I thought I was the Stanger of my friend group until I heard that he doesn't rate peas (jokes as I am not the Stanger of my friend group, I'm at the combination Gabrus and Ben Rodgers)
Unfortunately I have a massive crush on Seagal with the mutton chops

Can’t believe no mention of henry silva’s character from sharky's machine! Lots of parallels to his character here
https://youtu.be/rlZVQTRU-EQ recent Seagal interview where in the first two minutes he dispels the myth he's white.
I came to the realization that every time they’ve ever talked about Gwildor, I was mistakenly thinking of Snarf. Gotta take some time and think about things....
The only additional "Tough Red Head" submission I was expecting was, Andy Dalton.
Might be in the minority but I think Richard Jewell is one of Eastwood's best. Hauser and Rockwell are both pretty incredible in it. But I like J. Edgar, so take that for what it's worth.
Yeah I girded myself for old man Eastwood to take his shots at the FBI and the media. And he does. But it’s a good movie.
god is there anything better than Rodgers doing Seagal- one thing I'm pretty sure I've never heard be mentioned on here, Vern's book Seagalogy. I feel like there's no way the ABZ haven't heard of this excellent book, but who knows
What ethnicity is Seagal really?! “Steven Seagal” sounds Jewish but his skin has a bit of tan in there that I don’t know if it’s out of a bottle or natural.
Y’all gonna do Buttfuckers?
StangerGorgon named Momentum Church as his new church, which is either a Florida megachurch or a church in northwest Indiana, in my personal headcanon from now on StangerGorgon is a hoosier.
That the “Sitting Indi—“ slipped out today of all days. (Chef’s kiss).
Oh, I thought he meant Asian Indian, like yoga.
Are the Boyz familiar with the works of David Heavener; Kill Crazy, Outlaw Force, Lethal Ninja?
SNARF!!!
Dream On Season 1 on Drive if anyone is interested - https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1759AflhMGXClpeqCUDpW3r0hatn269-G?usp=sharing
Every episode should start with a good THUNDERCATS HOOOOO!
3 hours! 😍😍😍🥰😍🥰🥰
Wow, pulled a real Stanger and watched Out for Justice by accident. Damn Seagal and his generic ass titles
SNARF
Stanger's resting triceps are so big like nobody ever seen
Thundercats, hoooooo! Snarf and Mumm Ra, The Ever-Juicing Source of Evil, now added to the canon. In the first or second episode they all turn up on the new planet wearing nothing. I’m sure that show had a hand in creating a fair few furries.
the only movie to feature seagal's natural hairline. also, peak showcase of flailing noodle arms.
Unfortunately, Seagal never worked with WWE. As Gabrus mentioned, Seagal did walk out with Anderson Silva for a fight and actually claimed to have taught Anderson the front kick that he used to knock out Vitor Belfort.
The shot of him trying to strike a casual pose while using the payphone is peak noodle-armed "what the fuck am I supposed to do with my hands" Seagal, non-running edition. https://i.imgur.com/3fI5WW5.png
I remember in the U.K. it was called Nico for some reason. 🤷🏻♂️
I think that was the title in a lot of territories. Also the Polish poster for this is fucking amazing. https://www.amazon.com/Original-Polish-Poster-MACIEJ-KALKUS/dp/B0186VWLDI
Arms like swimming pool noodles
arms like Freddy in the first Nightmare on Elm Street
CUM POSEURS
Expecting a *lot* of discussion about Seagal’s running in this.
Lol. Gabrus thinking his run was on point and tried to backpedal big time!!!! Bahaha
My beautiful Action Boyz xoxo.
