Superfluous Seagal Cinema

Everyone has a type of movie that they like to watch. For me it's action movies. If the plot is good and the acting of a caliber that keeps me tuned in, I'll see a movie through to the end, but if the plot and acting is below par it doesn't take long before I will cut the film off before it's prime. There are even some actors and action movies I'll refuse to watch just because of the redundant content they continue to spurt out. Of those action movies, one actor and his movies stand out among the others. Steven Seagal.

If there any Seagal fans out there that like this genre of garbage, I'll apologize for the upcoming observations that make one of his movies just as boring and redundant as the last one he produced.

Observation:
1: Steven Seagal has starred in or co-starred in 43 movies. Of those movies he has produced or help        produce 39 of those movies.
2: Steven Seagals movie characters are for the most part associated with being in law enforcement or      the military. Such as:
     Former Navy Seal (two times)
     Former CIA Agent
     CIA Covert
     CIA Agent
     Former Covert Agent
     Interpol Agent
     Former Special Forces Operative
     Thief (two times)
     Cop (four times)
     Former Cop
     Detective (two times)
     Air Force Pilot
     Environmental Agent (two times)
     Vietnam Vet
     DEA Agent
     Military Dr.
     Explosives Expert
     FBI Agent
     Freelance Agent
     Mercenary (two times)
     Task Force Leader
     Former Russian Diplomat
     Vigilante
     Professor of Archeology (I can't beleive this one)
     Vampire Slayer (HA! HA!)
3: Steven Seagal movie posters have common things. Such as:
    Seagals Face
    Pistols
    Shotguns
    Automaic Rifles
    Samuri Swords
    Explosions
    Military Aircraft
    And.......The Three Words Or Less Movie Title
4: Steven Seagal always has at least one or two and sometimes three hand to hand fight scenes in             every movie he's in.
5: Many of the people that are associated with Steven Seagals characters die.
6: Movie titles have a dark or sinister occuring theme words. Such as:
    Dead
    Deadly (two times)
    Die
    Death
    Dark (four times)
    Shadow
    Black
    Kill (four times)
    Seige (two times)
    Man (three times)
    Fire
    Wounds
    Beast
    Mercenary
    Attack
    Fury
    Whipped
    Warfare
     Lethal
    Wars
 Here's some irony on the title words. Taking the most used words in each title I've come up with  a movie title that covers all Steven Seagals movies. ( Dark Man's Deadly Kill Seige). I think that covers all his movies in a nutshell.

Anyone can make a Seagal movie all you need to do is make a movie poster to start with. Make sure the poster has his face on it with him holding a pistol. Have an explosion in the background and place a number of military aircraft in it. Have the plot kill off anyone that knows him. Have him track down the opposing force, killing everyone in his path and destroying anything that doesn't have any redeeming value. Have at least one fight scene where he beats the crap out of some low life. And at the end of the movie have him walk away like it was just a normal day at the office.
