I Could Listen To Japanese Film Announcers Say 'Steven Seagal' All Day.

Strange but true: Steven Seagal may be all washed up here in North America, where he's become a bit of a side show curiosity and object of mockery. But Japan? Japan's a different story. His films still do pretty well there, a decent number of them landing theatrical releases and provoking such things as, you know, full fledged marketing campaigns. Which means trailers. Yes, there is a Japanese trailer online now for Seagal's latest, Pistol Whipped, which also stars Lance Henriksen in a support role, Sure, Henriksen will go pretty much anywhere and do pretty much anything for a paycheck but he's pretty solid in everything he does and the production values in this actually look quite good. Plus, as an added bonus, you get a super enthusiastic Japanese narrator. Huzzah!

It's in the Twitch Player below the break. But be aware: breasts be lurking within.

Actually, he's slimmed down some recently. He used to be a lot bigger than this.

i swear he almost looks like golgo 13 in a couple of those shots.

SS should embrace his aging status and become the sort of elderly action hero showcased in numberous detective series. He's still trying to pretend he is spry.. but he'd make a great geriatric avenger (and should embrace a less 'glossy' type of genre.
