Steven Seagal Vs. Jean-Claude Van Damme


it’s the master versus the muscles from
Brussels welcome to watchmojo.com and
today we’ll be pitting Steven Seagal
against dong Claude Van Damme to see who
is the greater action star they call me
milk so called the wise warrior round
one legacy in the first corner
sporting a totally not gay ponytail he
Steven Seagal he has given us such roms
as under siege marked for death above
the law out for justice and hard to kill
it’s still not fair that’s right okay
how about this I’ll get that on my knees
he’s famous for frequently playing a cop
as well as rarely raising his voice come
get some in the other corner is
jean-claude Van Damme he’s appeared in
such popular films as bloodsport
hard-target kickboxer Double Impact
Universal Soldier and Timecop he has
also played cops but made it big playing
underdogs in brutal fighting tournaments
over the years van Damme has helped pull
in over a billion at the box office
almost doubling that of Seagal what do
you think about that they have about the
same amount of good and horrible movies
under their belts and while we’ve gladly
left to award a tie going in Van Damme
slightly edges out his opponent for
having been a more bankable actor and
having a cooler name winner jean-claude
Van Damme okay
round two combat Steven Seagal has a
seventh dad in Aikido
jean-claude Van Damme is proficient in
shakotan karate Muay Thai kickboxing and
Taekwondo when it comes to the fight
Steven Seagal has no issues playing
dirty he’ll wrap a pool ball in a cloth
and use it to knock your teeth out you
cannot fight take top strike you with a
broken pool cue or just plain punch you
in the junk
he is all about trauma neutralizing his
opponent and turning their physical
strength into a weakness meanwhile Van
Damme is focused on the kicks and likes
to randomly drop into the splits during
a heated exchange unfortunately his
superior strength would be used against
him by Segal when the dust clears Seagal
is still standing
winner Steven Seagal round three
physique and agility a hulking man of
six foot four Seagal has unfortunately
become known in recent years for his
ever-increasing circumference forgetting
this and focusing on the earlier years
we can see that both actors make heavy
use of stunt doubles however look at the
way Seagal runs maybe some more stunt
double action wouldn’t have been such a
bad thing
overall Van Damme is slightly more agile
and capable of incredible physical
movements including his trademark 360
degree spin kick after all he did study
ballet because of my big legs and karate
I can do the splits no prob
unfortunately Seagal simply can’t keep
up as he depends almost entirely on his
arms and face to do the talking
I said turn him loose and Dan gets the
point because he can do this tell me
that doesn’t hurt to watch winner Van
Damme
number four screen persona both of these
actors are less than impressive when
seams require real acting blossom blow
yeah I want some blow put your hands
where I can see them I blow your head up
however segoe fills the void with his
hardcore ego and his own brand of
charisma this includes quite a bit of
trash-talking through a quiet yet husky
voice it already had a lawyer time self
in not want to kill him this led to him
being hailed as the most gritty and
realistic action star during his heyday
on the other hand Van Damme comes off as
a bit too polished and well-groomed
despite having the mandatory foreign
accent that the genre requires I mean I
figured you gotta be French or something
because of your accent what accent
winner
Steven Seagal how’s the action boys mind
if I play round 5 later career and
comeback these two men were both wants
very bankable actors now they’re either
added attractions or had to direct a
home video Seagal has adjusted to a
calmer and more Buddhist lifestyle while
teaching martial arts and working as a
deputy sheriff in Louisiana when cast he
takes smaller parts like playing the
samurai sword wielding villain in
machete meanwhile Van Damme failed to
enter the world of fashion with a line
of denim clothing my pants froze and
froze hard so tight however he has
starred in the well-received self-titled
JCVD several Universal Soldier sequels
provided the voice of Master croc in
Kung Fu Panda 2 and played the bad guy
in the Expendables 2 Seagal may have a
more interesting personal life but Van
Damme edges him out for staying slightly
more relevant on cinema maybe were being
overly optimistic but we sense a career
comeback as Van Damme appears able to
still perform those awesome spin kicks
winner Van Damme and the other new
business verdict sorry Steven Seagal
fans while the star wins in combat and
screen persona he’s left wincing in
respective jean-claude Van Damme
who claimed the victory three to two
did this verdict give you the blues did
Van Damme deserve his last-minute
victory upset
