Apex Mountain on The Rewatchables
4:46 – 7:32… Which I think is one of the best ones we've ever done. And one of the reasons we enjoyed it so much is it was sliced alone. It was kind of his version of Apex Mountain where it's just like, nobody's saying no to anything. He's just, it's sliced alone running amok for an entire action movie and nobody telling him like, you shouldn't do that. I don't know if that's a good idea. He's just left to his own devices running amok. And that's Seagal now for justice. He is out of control. Some of the research for it is fantastic. Just how out of control he was. He really seems to think he's Italian. I know. You …

and I watched it twice in the last four days and I'd seen it a bunch of times on cable. We did Cobra together. Yeah. Which I think is one of the best ones we've ever done. And one of the reasons we enjoyed it so much is it was sliced alone. It was kind of his version of Apex Mountain where it's just like, nobody's saying no to anything. He's just, it's sliced alone running amok for an entire action movie and nobody telling him like, you shouldn't do that. I don't know if that's a good idea. He's just left to his own devices running amok. And that's Seagal now for justice. He is out of control. Some of the research for it is fantastic. Just how out of control he was. He really seems to think he's Italian. I know. You couldn't have put it better. It's, the Cobra thing was, we were like, there's a part where Cobra, where he takes a piece of pizza out and cuts it with scissors and eats it and no one was like, sly. That doesn't make any fucking sense. You can't do that. Case in point. You can't roll up to a murder scene as a narcotics cop with a fucking beret and a sleeveless shirt. It doesn't make sense. But no one was like, Steve, are you sure you should wear that beret? Yeah. I like the beret. The beret stays. There's no one who could tell him no and the reason why, Bill, is because he's fucking cranking out hits right now. He is cranking out number one movies every single time and it's like, you can't tell him no because everything he says is turning to gold. It's the fourth of the Seagal movies and we have not done Above the Law yet. It's looming. Sure. It's not like we're not going to do Above the Law but that was the first one and we told this story in the previous Seagal Pod that he was a martial arts instructor for Mike Ovitz who was the most famous agent in Hollywood and he somehow decided you should be in a movie. Stallone, Schwarzenegger, all these guys were super duper expensive. It's like, what if we could just create our own version of those guys? Which somehow they did. So he makes Above the Law in 88 successful, Hard to Kill in 90, Mason Storm, successful. Also that, was that the one where we have the intimacy coordinator, right? Oh yeah, oh yeah. He goes way over the line in that movie with an actress we've never heard from since because she's probably a padded cell. It's a, she's just under a series of NDAs with Seagal. Yep. He does Mark for Death. Yep. Probably the weakest of these first five. Number one movie in America, Bill. Number one again. Him and Screwface. It's all hits. Hard to Kill in Mark for Death, both 1990. And at that point, they're like, what's next, Steve? Yeah. Whatever you want. You know what's next for me? I'm fascinated by The Godfather, Italians, Brooklyn. Yep. I was a big Welcome Back Cotter fan
54:11 – 56:57… scene gene and gershon's first scene great to have her it's awesome what's up gina uh the combo of this and cocktail in the same year oh it's not an apex mountain but it was for me anyway uh he says how you doing patty and she says i can still get it wet hot unbelievable that might be the peak exchange we've ever had in an action movie i can still get it wet i know i i'm guessing i think i know what she means i think she's talking about a vagina bill i think she might be and then gino goes i can't believe you can still eat with that mouth it's all out of the gates where that can still get it wet is a …
