‘Pockets full of pesos’: Steven Seagal only made one movie and you only know one line!

In 1994, action star Steven Seagal was in a strong position: he was in high demand as he was king of the box office after the success of Trapped on the High Seas. Warner immediately wanted to continue, Trap on the. high seas. Speed, but the actor is uncompromising: he will only agree if the studio allows him to make his first feature film. And so the mined terrain was born.

Michael Caine actually agreed to do the film because he was “desperate”

Story

In order to keep the oil concessions, the Aegis firm decides to make improvements to its refineries, but chooses inferior equipment as quickly as possible. When a fire breaks out, firefighter Forrest Taft steps in to save the day. With a flea in his ear, Taft begins to investigate the malfunctioning equipment and comes across compromised Aegis. Since then he has been on the hunt as people try to silence him…

Not only does Seagal direct, he writes, produces, and stars in this feature film! The head of Aegis security is played by John McGinley from Scrubs, Billy Bob Thornton makes an appearance for hire, and the head of Aegis is played by Michael Caine, left to his own devices and rolling his eyes at regular intervals:

The rest cannot be called mined terrain, it must be experienced! At the end of the film, almost 5 minutes of emphasis on the environmental message, a spiritual quest that is too long and several points that are not appropriate to quote here. We’re particularly indebted to the film’s famous tirade called “The Professional,” and we can’t resist quoting it in full:

“My contact in Washington says we’re not dealing with a student, we’re dealing with a teacher. When the Army has an operation that can’t fail, he’s the one they call to prepare the troops, okay? He’s the guy who would drink a can of gasoline to pour on your fire. You threw it away.” This guy at the North Pole, on an iceberg, with a tub of underwear for all his clothes, no toothbrush, and tomorrow afternoon you see him coming to the edge of your pool with an ear-to-ear smile and pockets full of pesos. This guy is a pro. If he reaches the platform, we’ll all jump out and there’ll be nothing left but a big hole. In the middle of Alaska. So we’re going to find this guy and bring him down and get rid of this crap.”

Seagal was accused

Recall that Steven Seagal was one of the accused during the #MeToo movement in 2017, and one of the speakers was Regina Simons, who appeared on Mined Ground at the time, whom Seagal allegedly invited to the after-party of the film. and allegedly raped. The complaint was closed in September 2018 on the grounds of establishing the facts.
