Above the Law: The Movie That Launched Steven Seagal's Career
While Steven Seagal has become a controversial, much-mocked figure among action fans, for a while, near the start of his career, he was one of the best up-and-coming action stars. He was able to jump into movies, guns blazing, with his screen debut a star vehicle called Above the Law. Directed by Andrew Davis, who would go on to helm Under Siege and The Fugitive, the movie was perfectly poised to turn Seagal into an icon. In this episode of Reel Action, we dig into how the film and its Aikido-infused fight scenes made Seagal into an instant action hero, with him blasting onto the scene a fully-formed star. How did a martial arts instructor with no acting experience get his own movie? Let’s take a look, and let us know in the comments if you think Above the Law holds up thirty-five years later.
